Chapter 9

Brock rolled over in the bed and found a cold place where he thought Em should have been. He listened to see if she’d gone to the bathroom, but there didn’t seem to be any sound coming from there either. Rising, he reached for her and found her in the kitchen with his cook. He smiled as he got into the shower.

“Are you sore still?” She was embarrassed, and he nearly laughed. “I meant your shoulder, love. I know that my beast broke your bones when he bit you.”

“I’m okay. I’d forgotten about it until you just mentioned it.” She paused, and he felt her fear, but before he could comment on it, she continued. “I think my family is nearer. Last night…Brock, I think one of them is dead.”

He’d felt something, too, but had thought it was just a dream and had simply gone back to sleep. He was curious as to why he might have felt the death of a vampire, but there wasn’t much about his life right this minute that he understood. He would ask Peter. He was his only source in this matter. He got into the shower as he spoke to her.

“I think you’re right. I don’t know why I think so, but I’m pretty sure I felt it too. We need to talk to Peter as soon as we can. He might know the reason you felt it, or even if that’s what we felt. It might just be a bad dream.” Or hopeful thinking too, maybe on both their parts. “I’ll be down soon. I love you.”

“I love you as well. And your mom is here. She said she needs to speak to you.” He sighed, knowing she wanted something he wasn’t going to be able to give her. “She said you’d better not try and duck her again or she’ll have your hide. Sheesh, your mom is intense.”

“You have no idea.” Brock finished up his shower and dressed in some tear away pants and a tee-shirt. He was going to go with Em today and help her shift. He’d wanted to last night, but they’d both been so exhausted that he wasn’t sure that if there was an emergency he could have helped anyone. Smiling, he thought it was the best reason in the world to call in sick.

His mom was sitting at the table, frowning. He didn’t see Em anywhere but wasn’t worried because no one else seemed to be. When he sat down, a plate of food was placed in front of him by Roland, and he offered some to his mom.

“No. You know as well as I do that I was at a breakfast meeting you were supposed to be at with me. You figured sleeping in was a good excuse not to go with me? I’ll have you know that I was embarrassed since you were supposed to introduce me as a guest speaker.” He sat back, embarrassed himself. He should have been there.

“I converted Em last night, and I completely forgot.
