Chapter Sixteen

I flew toward the wall and smacked it hard, breaking my shoulder bone and then dropping to the ground. My body ached and burned as various bones fused themselves back together. Blood streamed from my nose and into my mouth. The sound of footsteps drew closer. I pushed myself up. Cold fingers wrapped around my arm, then I was tossed clear across the room again.

"Jessie, wake up!"

I opened my eyes and found Jeremy leaning over me. He was gripping my arms and had a tense, concerned look on his face.

"Are you awake?" he asked me.

"Yeah," I said softly.

He let go of me as he straightened. His exquisite bare chest faced me. "Jesus, you were scaring me."

I rubbed my forehead and my hand came away with moisture. Pressing my elbows into the bed, I leaned up. My damp hair stuck to my face and neck. "What happened?"

"You were dreaming. I heard you moaning and breathing heavy. I thought you were having some wild sex until your body started jerking violently." He separated strands of my hair clinging to my face. "What were you dreaming?"

I closed my eyes and recalled the images. "I was fighting someone. I think they were kicking my ass."

"Do you know who you were fighting?"

I searched for a face. Though I couldn't find one, I remembered one important feature about the person. I opened my eyes and lifted my gaze to Jeremy. "No, but it had to be a vampire. His touch was cold."

"Do you know what time of day it was? Or where you were? Was it outside?"

I glanced around the room, taking in small details. The white walls were not similar to the ones in my dream.

"I was in a room with stone walls. I don't know the time of day."

Jeremy rubbed the back of his neck as he ambled in the room. The muscles in his arms and chest bulged beautifully. When he stopped and our eyes met, I knew exactly what his thoughts were.

"It might be a premonition," I said. Whenever something bad or good was about to happen, the events popped up in my dreams.

"We can't take a chance it wasn't."

I brought my knees up from under the blanket. "I'll be careful. But I don't know why one of them would want to fight me. It doesn't make sense. If they wanted to get rid of me, just do it or vote against me."

Jeremy sat on the bed across from me. "You’re right. It doesn't make sense, but neither did that dancer attacking you. And, by the way, you do have bigger tits."

I chuckled. "Did you enjoy the show?"

"Sure I did." His lips stretched into a devilish smile. "I just pretended it was you."

I took the pillow from behind me, then threw it at him. He caught it with no trouble.

Tossing the covers aside, I slipped out of bed.

"Where are you going?" Jeremy asked.

I dug through the dresser drawers, searching for clean underwear and clothes. "I'm going to clean up. And then I'd like to get something to eat.
