---- Book 1 Chapter 33 Book 1 Chapter 33 Chapter 33 I walked to the steps, Elis grip on my hand tightening like he thought I would run as soon as the door came into view. That would be foolish, knowing Cyrus was directly behind me. Instead, I followed them inside. This house was much different from the one in Soya and reminded me of a log cabin, just a little bigger. It had slate floors and exposed beams and a modern rustic feel, vastly different from how they presented themselves in the office. I followed them into the kitchen, and Cyrus pulled out a stool. Sit, he said, and I did, leaning on the black marble bench top. Cyrus busied himself making coffee, while I looked around from my seated position. This place is different from your place in Soya, I told them. We prefer Soya, fewer people and further out, Eli said, and I nodded. 1/7 ---- Book 1 Chapter 33 We can't let you leave, not now that you know what we are. Why? Even if I did say anything, people would think I had lost the plot. I dont even think my mother would believe this, I told him. They said nothing but looked at each other before Cyrus handed me a cup. I sniffed it, and Cyrus raised an eyebrow at me. T didnt poison it if that is what you're wondering, he said. I shrugged. I wouldn't be surprised if you did. I just watched him turn into a dog, I told him, and Eli growled. I rolled my eyes, sipping the coffee. Werewolf, Eli said. Same, slight difference. You got a tail and fur, I told him. He seemed thoughtful for a second, and Cyrus chuckled. So, you are both werewolves? I said, the words sounding insane as they left my lips. No, I am different, Cyrus stated, making me look at him. 2/7 ---- Book 1 Chapter 33 How so? I asked. To me, they both looked human until one started sprouting fur and growling. I kind of wished I didnt know. It seemed easier being oblivious to what they were; now, my head was swimming with questions and fear for my life. He is a vampire, Eli said like it was no big deal. I would say that is crazy, but after what I just saw... I shook my head, losing my train of thought. They both watched me, making me feel uncomfortable. Wait, so you kill people? I asked, suddenly creeped out. [had seen Dracula, and him saying that now just made me more terrified than being ripped apart by Eli. No, I get blood from Eli, he said, cocking his head to the side, watching my face. I let his words register. Does it hurt? I asked him. Eli smiled. Of all the questions, you wonder if it hurts to be bitten by a vampire? he asked, shaking his head. No, Addie, it doesnt hurt, the opposite actually. Any more questions? Cyrus asked. I did have one, 3/7 ---- Book 1 Chapter 33 but kind of childish to ask. I looked at Eli, and he rolled his eyes like he knew what I was going to ask. Go on, spit it out. What? You're too embarrassed to ask something, so I am assuming its something I will find hilarious, he said. How do you know, though? I asked, and he rolled his eyes. That mark on your neck, I feel what you feel, he said, and my hands instinctively went to it. Like everything I feel? Yes, Addie, everything. I could even feel you with Sam this afternoon, he said, his eyes darkening slightly, making goosebumps rise on my skin. Fear coursed through me, worry nagging at me, and my head was starting to hurt from everything it was trying to process. You dont need to fear us, Eli said.
