Chapter 12

The crew moved faster than ever before, and I was proud to have them on our side. Jameson estimated we had less than an hour to get set up in the trees and hidden from whoever was coming into port.

Solomon already had three areas for us to settle in that he had prepared on different parts of the island, prior to our arrival. We separated into groups, which I didn’t like, but I also understood it was necessary. Jameson, Solomon, and I were each in charge of one. A pure vampire to lead each group. I wasn’t sure what I thought about being classified as a vampire, but I just needed to get used to it, because there was no way to deny it any longer or change it.

Alice was in my group, and we were positioned on the eastern side of the beach—located in front of the town. We sat next to each other quietly, but our silence spoke volumes. No words could express how much I appreciated that, no matter what happened since we met, she and Henry had been there. They were supportive and accepting of Jameson and me. It gave me hope that they would continue to have our backs, regardless of how much I changed. Unfortunately, everyone had their limits.

The ship that pulled into the bay was larger than the one we occupied. From the size of the town, they would have needed at least three ships to get everyone off the island.

As the vessel weighed anchor in the bay, I could see the deck. It appeared deserted. The sun had sunk low in the sky, ready to disappear and let darkness rule in its stead. My enhanced hearing was trained to Jameson’s and Solomon’s groups, just in case they relayed any information that we would need. Except for the occasional word spoken, the area had been silent.

Finally, after the sun disappeared and the sky turned crimson, I saw movement on board the ship. People bustled around the deck, but there were too few to be a full crew. A shiver raced down my spine, and I narrowed my eyes, looking for anything on the ship that would point to them being friend or foe. A deep breath made its way into my lungs, but I didn’t smell anything that gave me pause.

I was getting frustrated that I had these new abilities, yet no idea how to use them properly. It was beyond time that someone trained me. Either Jameson or Solomon, I didn’t much care which.

The gangway was dropped onto the planks of the pier with an audible thud. Seven men descended from the deck, by my count. They looked ordinary enough, but I heard Jameson’s sharp inhale from across the beach. I wondered at it but didn’t have time to ask when I saw Solomon stroll out into the open.

“Joshua.” He greeted the man in the lead, and my eyes caught sight of Jameson. He stepped out onto the sand and made his way toward them as well.
