Chapter Eight

Allie jumped from the end of the bed and began doing his morning sprints around the room. I’d never understand why he felt the urge to do so, but he seemed to have his own awakening ritual.

“Faith,” Alexa called tiredly.

Turning towards her, I saw that Alexa was lifting herself into a sitting position with the look of bewilderment, which was exactly how I was feeling right now.

Did I just see Esha? Or was that Loren? Only thing I knew was that I saw fangs instead of canines. A normal person wouldn’t be able to tell, but vampire eyes were sharp and could tell even the smallest differences. Especially when it came to our kind.

Maybe I was just seeing things?

It was very possible that I was. It could’ve even been one of Alexa’s memories. Only problem was that I could tell exactly when I was reliving one of her memories, and what just happened felt real. My only explanation was that we were growing closer in our bond, and I was sinking deeper into her mind.

Yeah that has to be it, I thought. Esha is dead.

“Why are you awake?” Alexa asked.

Remembering why I was up and standing in the sunlight, I pushed back my worried thoughts and brought up a slight smile. Alexa hadn’t caught on just yet, but when she realized what she was looking at, her eyes widened before glistening with a calm happiness, and a small smile followed.

“You can finally stand in the sun,” she said softly. “I’m so glad. I knew how sad it made you that you could no longer withstand sunlight.” Slowly, Alexa stood from the bed and walked over to me, then she moved her hand into the ray of light, instantly revealing the beautiful golden glow that swished below her skin like calm ocean water. “We are both the same now. It is refreshing to know that we can both go into the sun and moon together.” She looked over her shoulder at the bed. “But it is best that we do get our rest. You and I will train tonight.”

I nodded, excited for our next training session. It wasn’t that she went any easier on me than before, but I was beginning to catch onto her fighting style, and I also enjoyed spending time with her while doing something that we both seemed to like.

Alexa turned to walk back towards the bed but then stopped and turned to look over her shoulder at me. “A few moments ago, were you thinking about Esha?”

My eyebrows furrowed, but I did my best not to act out of the ordinary. I wasn’t sure what I saw, but I was now sure that it wasn’t one of Alexa’s memories. “No, I think that I just caught Loren walking outside.”

Alexa’s eyes lowered towards the floor. “Yes. They do look just alike. Loren is her doppelgänger, but I know the difference between the two of them, and the person you were thinking of was not Loren.” Her eyes came back to me.
