Tessa had arrived less than ten minutes later and helped me carry Trace into the back seat of her Cadillac. I’d wanted to ride with him all the way home, but she reminded me that not only did I have my own car here, but that I’d left it with the driver’s side door wide open at the front of the building.

Not that I particularly cared, until she insisted that I was probably going to need my car again at some point in the near future, and that it was best if I drove it home myself since she could barely figure out how to start the thing.

After ensuring me that Trace would be perfectly safe in the backseat of her car, I locked up Trace’s mustang and then rushed to the front of the building just in time to follow her out of the parking lot.

We arrived back at the Blackburn Estate in record time. Unfortunately, since it was still daylight out, we were lacking much needed vampire muscle and had to carry Trace inside ourselves, with Tessa taking his upper body and me carrying his legs.

“Jackie!” called Tessa as soon as we made it inside and temporarily set Trace down on the marble floor to catch our breath. “We need some help down here!”

My mother appeared at the foyer entrance within seconds, a puzzled look on her face as she tried to make sense out of the scene unfolding before her.

“We need to get him onto the sofa,” informed Tessa as she placed her hands on her hips and pulled in a few breaths.

“What happened to him?” asked Jaqueline.

“The protective barrier around his mind crumbled,” answered Tessa and I all but murdered her with my eyes.

“We don’t know that yet,” I said, still holding out hope for god knows what. Apparently, I was still in denial. Or shock. Or both. “We don’t know anything!”

“You said she busted the talisman,” Tessa reminded me, not giving a single damn about preserving my little bubble of hope and denial. “I think it’s safe to say we know a little bit.”

“Just pick up his arms!” I barked, not wanting to hear anymore of her casual play by play of a moment that would haunt my nightmares for years to come.

Tessa nodded and then grabbed a hold of him under his arms as my mother moved in front of me and picked up his legs before carrying him into the sitting room closest to the entrance and then setting him down on the brown leather sofa. As soon as he was settled, I rushed to his side and moved a strand of hair away from his face.

Tears stung the corners of my eyes as I stared down at him, feeling completely hopeless and out of my element. “What are we going to do? How do we fix this?”

Neither one of them answered me.

I whipped around to face them. “He can’t stay this way! We need to help him. Now. There has to be something we could do.
