Chapter Eleven

Once Jameson’s dagger was tied to my hand with a cloth, I was able to sleep for a few more hours, with him by my side to make sure nothing went wrong. When I opened my eyes, the sun streamed through the window, and I didn’t think I had ever been so happy to see dawn.

As Jameson started to stir, I snuck out of bed, hoping he would get some more sleep, but no such luck. His hand grabbed mine as soon as my back was to him. “Where are you going?” His voice was deep and groggy.

“I need to find Solomon and work on getting whatever venom I have out of me.” Turning back, I sat on the edge of the bed. “Last night showed us Prime is only getting stronger. We need to leave the island and grow our army as soon as possible. There is no more time for training here.”

He nodded. “I agree. Do you mind if I come with you?”

“Of course not. I would always rather have you around than not.”

“Always?” He winked.

“Well, sometimes I need my space, but don’t be difficult. You know what I mean.”

“Yes, I do, but it’s more fun to make you flustered.”

Smacking his chest, I pushed away from the bed and got dressed for the day. I donned my most comfortable blue dress and shoes. I had a feeling I would either be sitting or standing for the better part of the day. I didn’t picture drawing venom to be a very exciting task.

We found Solomon in the kitchen with Nettie, Humphrey, and Ruth. Nettie was once again covered in flour, but it was the smile plastered to her face that told me how much fun she was having.

“Good morning,” Ruth greeted as we walked in. “We’re making plans for the food we will take on the ships and making sure we portion sizes correctly before loading. We could use some help if you two aren’t busy.”

Glancing at Solomon, I waited for him to respond. Maybe I wouldn’t be learning how to access my venom.

“Actually, I was only helping while I waited for Lavinia to wake. With what happened last night, I wasn’t sure when that would be. I’ll send Alice and Henry to come take my place if that’s fine with you.”

Nettie squealed. “Can I go get them? I’d like to say hi to Maggie.” Her eyes went wide as she silently begged, and my heart warmed. I loved knowing Maggie was getting closer with the other kids now that she didn’t have to deal with being a vampire. Even if we didn’t win, I was happy to know I had at least given her a real shot at life.

“That would be very helpful,” Ruth finally answered.

Nettie jumped off the counter, giving Jameson and me swift hugs, then raced from the room, leaving a trail of flour in her wake.

Dusting myself off, I followed Solomon and Jameson. I had no idea where we were going but hoped it would be outside.
