Chapter 11

“Well, that went well.” My father plopped back down in his seat as soon as the other leaders left. I couldn’t say that he wasn’t right.

After my big reveal, the leaders couldn’t get out of there fast enough. We’d decided to keep things hush-hush until we could reconvene and decide on our next move. I just hoped they kept their word. It would suck to wind up on the receiving end of an angry mob.

“Do you think I’m doing the right thing?” I asked him, taking a seat next to him. “Should I have even told them about me being a vampire?”

My father raised his brow. “Are you worried about what they might do to you?” I nodded. Placing his hand on top of mine, he gave me a sympathetic look. “I won’t let anything happen to you, I promise.”

I smiled gently at him though I was pretty sure he was wrong. He couldn’t save me. If anything, I’d be lucky to protect myself and any of my friends still in the Core.

“So, what now?” I asked after a moment, breaking up the moment. “I told the leaders, and now they’re believers, but what next? I line up the rest of the Glade to see the big bad vampire?” Sarcasm dripped from my voice in waves.

My father opened his mouth and then closed it before opening it again. “No, that’s probably not a good idea. The fewer people who know about you, the better. If we can get them to follow us just based on what you have told us, I think it’d be best to leave out what you are.”

“Yeah.” I let out a heavy breath. “That’d be good.”

He laced his fingers in front of him on the table. “There’s something I have to ask you though.”

“What is it?” I leaned my elbows on the table.

“Dale had a good point.” He sighed and shook his head. “If we even get the people to rally, how are we going to get into the Core or even the other sections to tell them about it?” He made a noise in the back of his throat. “I mean, I can get in during deliveries, but I can’t take that many people. Not enough to do any good.”

“Well,” I said with a frown, my brows scrunched together, “if you could pass the information along on your deliveries, that would take care of that part.”

“Okay.” He moved his head to the side and then looked back at me. “What about getting past the guards?”

I thought about it for a moment, and then I had a duh moment. I knew a way to get in and out of the Core and any other section without detection, the way I’d just used not over an hour ago.

“There’s a tunnel,” I began, staring down at my hands. Even as I was saying it, I felt guilty. Patrick had told me about the tunnel in confidence, and here I was turning around and giving the information over to those who would hurt him.
