Chapter Thirty-One

You did everything you could."

Amy tried to give me a few comforting words when she dropped me off, but they seemed halfhearted. Not that she didn't mean them, I’m sure she did, but more because she seemed to be in another place. She seemed distraught.

"I know, but still…I feel terrible," I said, almost crying. "They're going to kill her; heck, they probably already have," I said. "It's midnight now."

She nodded. "At least we tried." She gave a small whimper and leaned forward like she was in pain. I looked at her, worried.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

She swallowed, then nodded. She was sweating heavily. It was running down her forehead.

"Are you hot? Why don't you take off that sweater if you are?" I asked.

She shook her head. She sounded strained when she spoke, but she was trying hard to pretend like she was fine.

"I feel comfortable in it. By the way, I found a dog. I’m keeping it at my house. It has puppies. They're the cutest things. You should come over and see them soon…argh…"

Amy leaned forward, her eyes closed, her hands reaching for her back.

"Amy! You're scaring me! What's going on? Are you in some sort of pain?" I asked, terrified.

She forced a smile. "I'm fine. I just have a little…cramps, you know how it is."

I really didn't. I’d never had cramps that bad.

"It looks terrible, Amy. Are you sure you shouldn't have a doctor take a look at you?" I asked.

"No doctors. I'm fine. Don't worry. Now, get out of my car. I have to get home to my doggies."

"Okay, but promise me you'll tell me if it gets worse or if it doesn’t stop. I'll take you to see a doctor if you don't want to go alone."

She sighed. "I'm fine. I just need to sleep. Good night."

I came home to an empty house. Both my parents and my brother were all out roaming at night like they always were, doing vampire stuff I didn't even want to think about.

I stood in the doorway, staring at the empty living room in front of me. I couldn't believe my mom hadn't even been angry at me for getting home late. Just because I was out with Duncan, she assumed I was in safe hands.

I felt devastated, crushed, and didn't feel like going to my room. Instead, I turned around and walked back into the street. I ran across the cul-de-sac and reached Jayden's house. Knowing his family too was out, since it was past midnight now, probably running in the mountains, I rang the doorbell. It had been ages since I heard the sound of Jayden's doorbell and it brought back a ton of memories.

Jayden opened it briskly, then stared at me, startled. "Robyn? What on earth are you doing here…and at this hour?"
