Chapter 10

A sweet warm liquid trickled into my mouth, my first conscious sensation since falling asleep after the attack. I sucked it in greedily.

“She’s drinking the blood. That is good, is it not?”

“Aye. You must be very happy to be a blood donor, Damien,” Matthew said quietly.

“It doesn’t bother me. She’s my sister-in-law, whether alive or undead.” Damien replied.

“You knew about them . . . knew all this time Julia was a vampire?” Adam muttered in disbelief.

“Aye.” Damien offered no further information.

I was groggy, but managed to push his arm away weakly. I didn’t want to harm him by drinking too much. I felt him move his arm until it was on my lips again. Once more, I tried to push it away. “Julia, stop it! Take a little more. You need it!” Damien snapped.

I gave up and resumed drinking. A couple of seconds later I shoved his arm from me, violently this time. “No more,” I whispered hoarsely. “It will kill you if I drink any more. I won’t be able to stop.”

A moment later I opened my eyes. The room gradually came into focus. Adam was sitting on my right and Damien on my left, carefully wrapping his arm. Jeffrey and Robert sat at the table nursing what I thought were minor wounds. Sharon sat next to them with her head down, her dark blonde hair spread out around her like a fan. Matthew stood behind her, examining something on her neck. A wound I supposed.

Samuel stood in the hall, looking back at one of the bedrooms. He turned towards us, and his eyes were dark with fury. Never had I seen him so angry. I flinched. For most of my life, if a man was that angry in my presence, his anger was likely directed towards me. I wondered what I had done wrong.

Damien touched my shoulder and then looked at Samuel as well. “Matthew, Mary Anne wants to see you,” Samuel said flatly. He didn’t seem to notice anyone else.

Matthew looked up after murmuring something to Sharon. There was a few moments of silence and then he asked, “How’s Christy?”

“Not good,” Samuel replied tersely. “Mary Anne thinks it’s best if you go in now.”

Matthew jumped up, sprinted past everyone, and disappeared into one of the bedrooms.

Confused and fearful, I continued to stare at Samuel. His body was tense, and through the telepathy I could sense his rage build. I had not seen any of the vampires this angry before. It frightened me; I didn’t understand what was happening. An involuntary whimper escaped me.

Samuel turned towards me at the sound and the emotion in his eyes changed to embarrassment … maybe even shame. He obviously hadn’t wanted me to see how upset he was. Before I could say anything he murmured something like an apology and whirled around. Within seconds, he had disappeared out the door.

I looked at Adam and Damien. “What happened?”

Adam was the one who answered. “While Mary Anne and I went to get Damien, Matthew searched for Christy and the other three.
