Chapter 14

I wake up the next morning feeling foggy and exhausted. Great. I can't remember the rest of our walk home or even getting into bed. I must've been too tired too function because I know I wasn't drunk enough to experience any sort of memory loss. I crawl out of bed and smell the bacon as soon as I begin to wake up. Big surprise there. I wonder how D isn't the size of a house with all the bacon that he eats. He must have a killer metabolism. When I reach the bottom of the stairs my father is sitting at the kitchen table while D stands facing the stove.

"Good morning, Ariella," my father grunts, while reading the local paper.

"Morning. What're you up to today?" I ask him curiously. Will he be training with me today? Somehow I doubt it.

"I have some business to take care of in Vancouver so I'm going to be gone for a couple days with Jacob. We're rounding up some friends and seeing what interest they have in ganging up to get rid of Marco. I expect you'll be training with Daymon the next few days and going to school," he states. It's not a question.

I nod.

"Daymon told me about the animal attack last night at your party. I was worried when you didn't come home and it was getting late. Normally I'd yell at you for not calling me but you don't have a phone. So I got you this," he grumbles and tosses something at me. A small red box. I open it and inside is a cell phone. My knees nearly crumple. "There's rules. No texting anyone from Denver. No talking about anything supernatural over the phone or text."

"Okay., I agree hastily. I'm so happy I finally have a phone again that these rules mean nothing.

"Jacob are you ready to go?" Dad mumbles so quietly that I have trouble hearing him but then I hear Jacob call from upstairs that he'll be down in a minute. Super hearing? Or am I just nearly deaf? I hope the former.

"I expect that Daymon was a good bodyguard last night and a good influence," my dad continues louder this time.

I hesitate and he looks up, meeting my gaze. "Uh yeah," I manage while turning away from him and heading to the fridge. I grab out a yogurt and open it slowly.

"Good," he says gruffly and then stands up, leaving the paper behind on the table. "I'll see you in a couple days. Good luck with school on Monday. Both of you."

I nod and D sticks his tongue out at him. Very mature. My dad rolls his eyes as he exits through the front door. Jacob is right on his heels.

"Looks like you're stuck with me for a couple days," I tease D.

He's quiet and I wonder if I've said something wrong.

"Yeah. Guess so." He shrugs finally.

"Are you alright?" I ask while shoveling yogurt into my mouth.

"Yeah. Just not sure what I'm going to do with you while I got vampire hunting.
