CHAPTER 25

North

WHILE ABBIE WAS showering, Donnie leaned back against the shattered dresser and took in the carnage before him. The bed, table, dresser, and easy chair were all total losses. He took in a deep breath and whistled. He was still not sure what happened last night, not that he at all minded the previous night’s exertion. Abbie came out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel. “We need to talk,” he said.

“I know, I’m sorry about last night. I know I was a bit rough on you,” she said slightly embarrassed. “I must have bitten and scratched you a hundred times.”

“You’re kidding, right. Last night was incredible and awesome and just mind-blowing,” he replied. Abbie smiled and moved next to him and shared his view of the room.

“We really did a job on this room, how did those holes get into the wall?” she asked.

“I have no clue. Last night was just one blissful blur,” he replied. “I’ve never felt closer to you than last night. I didn’t know where I ended and you began.”

“I thought I was going to pass out, especially when we were biting each other at the same time,” Abbie said. “I never knew anything could feel that good.” Donnie placed his arm around her.

“That is what I want to talk about,” he said. “Do you think you were supposed to drink vampire blood? I know your manual says you can’t, but what if it’s a lie?”

“I’m not really sure. I mean, I drank some blood from a corpse and it was awful.”

“Maybe something happens to it when we drink it,” he said. “Maybe they were trying to hide that from you.”

“Stefan said that he picked me for a reason,” Abbie said. “I had always thought that it was because I was half-Jewish, but maybe there is more to it.”

“I was thinking about it. What if the manual is filled with some fact and some fiction?” he asked. “I mean, what better way to control you than to give you misinformation and mask it as truth?”

“I have clung closely to that book, you might be right,” said Abbie. “We need to talk to a vampire that can give us some straight answers.”

“It’s a shame that we couldn’t stay with Gaston. I think we could have learned a lot from him. Eighty years as a hunted Foundling, I am still trying to wrap my head around that.”

“Once we make it to Lakeland, I think we will get more answers,” Abbie said. “At least, I hope we do.”

“Well, let me go pay for the damages,” Donnie said as he reached into the duffel bag and started counting money.

“Donnie, do you think that’s wise?” she asked. “I mean, they’re likely to remember us more if you pay for the damages than if we ditch.”

“I’m not letting a small business owner take a loss for our actions,” he said, “besides, I’m sure this has happened to him before, and will again.”

“Yeah, I guess you are right. We really trashed this room,” she said, laughing

Donnie shook his head and opened the door.
