Chapter 23
Details
The dark vamps within a 100-mile radius would come and they all hated the Followers. They would have meetings and be totally engrossed for hours on end. I would be watched as usual, but with so many vamps in the house, it would be easier to sneak out. Sayann would drug the vampire on guard, probably Kyle. She would pack a bag with everything we would need to get me back to the Followers.
The only thing that was hard to protect me from was the cold. Sayann said we would bundle me up and we would move as fast as we could. She would try to call William as soon as she could get a signal. Huge trees and brush surrounded the stone house we were in now, cell phones were useless here. I was ready, I knew it might not work and I might die in the woods. A death like that was far better than becoming Leo’s “mate” it was a risk I was willing to take.
It all happened, just as Sayann said, the other Dark vamps in the area converged in the stone house, in groups. The hum of voices filled the air and seeped through the ancient paper-thin walls. I tried to block out the numerous conversations I heard. They all seemed to be curious about me.
I was the one Leo the head of all Dark vampires, had chosen. I heard them say I was still bate to get Doc and the Followers here. They still intended to kill every one of the Followers as soon as they sensed them in the area. I knew it was going to be a massacre, the Dark coven did not intend to let any Followers live. I could not allow this to happen, and I wouldn’t.
I ate Tylenol like candy, it barley dulled the pain but it was all I could have. I waited as I heard the icy rain now beating on the windows, it was wet and cold. I really doubted I would even make it one hour out there. Sayann swore she would get me back to the Followers.
I was to wait for her to come to get me. She was getting Kyle drugged, but in the mean time I had to behave normally around the other Dark vamps. It was critical she not let them see into her mind what she and I had planned. If they did, we were both going to be killed instantly for defying Leo.
