Chapter 13

“What did you do?”

With my head pounding, I heard faint voices circulating above me.

Coming to, the memory of the night comes back full force and I feel like I have been knocked in the head by a hammer.

My eyes slowly open and I spot Eden over me. Concern drips from her eyes.

Donovan stands in the corner of what appears to be my dorm room. He has his familiar scowl as he glares at me from afar.

Visions of spotting Donovan as I emerged from the woods brings me back to reality and suddenly, I feel sick again.

“Why are you all in here?” I ask, my voice hoarse and dry.

“Donovan found you passed out in the hallway,” Eden states, as she helps me sit up.

I realize I am on my bed now and my shoes are off and by the door.

That can’t be right, Donovan caught me sneaking around the grounds at night. Something that was absolutely forbidden and could get me in a lot of trouble. Why hadn’t he told on me? More importantly, why had he lied for me?

“Maybe I just need to rest,” I offer, locking eyes with Donovan.

“We need to make sure you are eating enough. We feed each day, but I guess humans require healthy meals,” Eden concludes.

“Yeah, you need to be more careful,” Donovan adds, crossing his thick arms across his massive chest.

I feel the intensity of his stare and I can’t help but shiver from his ice-cold stare.

I feel the warning in his words and know that at some point, we will have to talk about this.

“Are you cold?” Eden asks, noticing my shaking.

“A little,” I admit.

“I will go get you some extra blankets and a drink,” Eden offers, as she rushes out of the door, leaving Donovan and myself alone.

Silence takes over and we just stare at one another for what feels like forever.

“Why did you do it?” I ask, finally breaking the awkwardness.

“What do you mean?” Donovan asks, playing coy.

Astounded by his vague response, I jump out of bed and rush toward him. I stop with my nose just barely inches from his. “You know exactly what I mean,” I yell, shoving my finger into his hard chest. “You caught me outside at night. Something that is against the school rules. Why didn’t you turn me in? Why did you bring me here?” I ask, my voice rising with each word spoken.

Donovan doesn’t even flinch as I accost him and scream directly in his face. Instead, his eyes remain locked on mine, as though he is trying to reach deep into my inner soul.

“Why were you outside?” Donovan asks, ignoring my questions.

I take a step back, shaking my head in utter frustration. “Why does it matter?” I ask, folding my arms across my chest in defiance.

“Because, it matters,” Donovan answers, his eyes never leaving mine.

Letting my shoulders drop, I realize Donovan is more stubborn than I am. He has already caught me, yet, he hasn’t ratted me out… yet. I might as well answer a few of his questions.
