Chapter 18

Before Anna even parked the car, Dan opened the door and darted down the path that led to the hill that he and his father had gone to when he was a child. He hoped that he was right, that Lexi was really here and not at some other park that he didn’t know about. The idea that she was in some sort of danger scared him, but he knew that had to be strong if he was going to help her.

“Dan, wait!” Austin called. “Wait for us!”

“There’s no time! I have to find Lexi!” Dan began to trot up the gravelly hill that led to the top of the slope, hoping that he would find her on the side. He ran as fast as his legs would carry him, but he felt slowed down.

When he finally reached the top, all he saw was blackness. And that’s when he heard it—the sound of Lexi moaning softly. He had heard that same sound several times before, back when they were in the 1800s, when he had drank from her.

Someone was drinking from her at that very moment . . . probably Craig Lindstrom.

Gripping the stake that he had grabbed from the backseat of Anna’s car, Dan followed the familiar sound until he was near the edge of the hill, which overlooked a small stream that he and his father used to throw pebbles across and fish in when he was little. He knew the whole park like the palm of his hand. Dan even knew that the reason it was called Bear Cliff State Park wasn’t because the area was heavily populated with bears, but because the cliffs were shaped in a bear formation.

When he got closer to them, he heard a male voice say, “Don’t worry, Lexi. I promise this won’t hurt at all. You won’t even realize that you’re dying. Rose didn’t realize it, and you won’t either.”

The moon reflected on Craig Lindstrom’s back. Dan could tell that he was hovering over Lexi, his body pressed against her; her legs looked lifeless and limp. Dan hoped that he wasn’t too late.

Stepping forward and holding the stake over his head, he brought it down quickly, aiming for Craig’s heart. But Craig must have seen his shadow as it moved over him because he whirled around and shoved him out of his way.

Dan shoved him back, leaving Craig lying flat on the ground. Neither of them said a word. Dan held the stake over his head, prepared to launch it through Craig’s heart, when he got up off the ground and before Dan could even do anything, he felt his arm being twisted behind his back.

Craig forced Dan’s arm closer to his own chest; he was positive that the stake was going to go through his own heart.

Struggling, Dan untwisted his arm, just as he was punched in the face. “You’re not gonna kill me,” Craig told him. “So you should just give up now.”

Deciding that Craig wasn’t worthy of a response, Dan pushed him forward and jabbed the stake through his heart.
