Chapter 10

Sitting through church had been more than a little excruciating. My parents had been a little late to the service, so we sat in the back—right behind Jack’s parents. It was an hour of torture, watching his mother wipe at her eyes and his father hold back sobs as the pastor talked to us about not questioning God’s plan. How could they do anything but that when they’d lost their son to what they believed to be some sort of horrible disease? As far as I knew, that’s what had claimed Jack, but I had my suspicions it was something even worse, though I did my best to push those thoughts aside.

It was all I could do to fall asleep the night before. I was up thinking about Jack, what it must be like to realize one day that you’re not who you used to be. Had he been bitten by a vampire? Did it hurt? Did they drain him and leave him for dead? Had my sister and her friends swooped in in an attempt to save him but been too late? My mind was running wild and the sun was about to come up by the time I’d fallen asleep. Since my mom had a strict rule that I still had to get up in time for church even if I spent the night at a friend’s house, if it was one of the days she’d decided we were going, I wasn’t thrilled when my alarm had gone off at 8:00. Lucy and Emma hadn’t stirred as I’d walked around like a zombie getting ready to go and sneaking out. Luckily, I knew the alarm code, or I would’ve woken the whole house up.

Alice Cook has the same nose as Jack’s. Even though hers was currently red and raw from all the tears she’d shed these past few weeks, I could still see the resemblance. She’d been a good mom, raised a son a person could be proud of. Now, here she was, likely wondering where she’d gone wrong, why God was angry enough at her that He’d take her only son in the prime of his life. There were no answers for that.

If Jack really was a vampire, running around the Caribbean killing tourists and other unfortunate souls, would Alice want to know? If I was in her position, would I? What about Cadence? I assumed if it was him I saw on the video that my sister already knew about it, which begged another question: how could she keep that information to herself?

Of course, Cadence didn’t know what I knew. She had no idea that I was aware that she was anything other than a security guard for an elite company. Elliott had made it very clear that I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone what I knew and that I shouldn’t share any of the information I’d gathered with my friends. Well, that ended up not making any difference because they were incapable of believing me right now, and I couldn’t blame them.
