Hope you are feeling better soon.

Love Dad.

Inside I found a new iPhone with a pink cover, my favorite color. The gesture warmed my heart. He wasn’t as mad as I thought he was after all.

The phone felt sleek in my hands as I turned it on, happy to be reunited with my connection to the world. The screen illuminated and flashed a beautiful sunset, similar to the one Nicholas and I watched regularly on our beach, making my heart feel heavy in my chest. I pushed back the grief and touched the screen to check my text messages instead, to which I had none.

Phil paid no attention and rushed to the window, standing on the ledge while I turned off the phone and pocketed it. I slowly moved to the window, a little less eager. A rough breeze blew against me, making me shiver. I zipped up my sweatshirt.

“Is he out there?” I asked, sensing nothing beyond Phil’s curiosity and slight hesitation.

“Nope,” he said with a whisper. “Come on.”

Disappointed, I climbed onto the roof and stood next to Phil, noticing a twinkle in his eye when I turned and looked up at him. Suddenly, I found myself wrapped up in his arms, flying up into the night sky. The massiveness of the full moon stole my breath away but all I wished for was to be in Nicholas’ arms instead.

My mind drifted towards protecting Phil and giving him a heads up about the venom T-shirts until I remembered Nicholas’ super-power stakes. And I wasn’t sure if I could reveal the secrets without Harry’s permission. Maybe a chain mail shirt of teeth could defeat the stakes, though it would take a lot of vampire deaths to make one.

“What are you thinking about?” Phil finally asked over the wind, his voice pulling me back into reality.

“Protecting you,” I said reluctantly.

“From your boyfriend?” Phil chuckled. “Cute, but completely unnecessary.”

“I think you should be leery of him. He is a vampire slayer you know.”

Phil laughed, refreshingly. “He can’t hurt me.”

My eyes tightened. “Don’t you remember what happened the last time?”

“He can’t do it twice. Double jeopardy. I’m invincible against him now.”

“You’re what?” I stated with a stutter. “How?”

“It’s just one of those things Alora figured out. Apparently you can’t kill a vamp twice. She is the brains behind this whole resurrection operation after all. Plus she likes me, another reason why I made a good candidate to bring back.”

My heart quivered at the gravity of the situation. Thinking about Bettina, Angelina, and the rest of the vampires coming back in revenge, protected with sudden invincibility made me shudder. Nicholas would have to rely on me to defeat the ones he’d previously killed and vice versa. Yet another step towards the prophecy coming to fruition.

“How did she do it?”

“Bring me back? I don’t know,” he said calmly. “Like I said, I woke up naked and mighty grateful.”

“This is insane,” I said under my breath. “How am I supposed to defeat her? All of them?”

“You won’t need to do that,” he said sympathetically.
