got back to the main ha ll, she was already unconscious ” Dalton said as he gave Carrie ’ s body to  Morton .
    “Do you have the water?” Blake asked. Paige responded by showing him a full bottle .
    “We have enough time to get back to our mansion” Zack said, silent until then . “ There we’ll wait for the next night, in which we’ll kill Lilith. We’ll destroy the evil that she brought upon the world”
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 10
     
    Carrie had a splitting headache, it felt as if a demonic power wanted to get inside. Carrie hissed silently and raised herself on her elbows.  She was in a small room in which a small lamp was the only source of light. The only thing she remembered before becoming unconscious was the blood and Lilith crawling on the ceiling like a spider, although she had no idea whether it wa s only a hallucination or not. It all felt so surreal to her, although she was safe now… probably.
    When her eyes got accustomed to the darkness , she saw someone’s silhouette . After a moment the myst erious stranger sat next to her and sh e recognized Jacob’s head and realis ed that she was sitting on his small bed.
    “What… happened?” she whispered .
    She felt a strong shiver when Jacob stroked her with h is fingers and although his hands were cold, she felt warm.
    “You should tell me” he said “You’ve scared the shit out of me when I saw Jay dragging your unconscious body from the church”
    Carrie sh ook her head and started crying and  Morton hugged her tightly and started rocking her while humming a calming melody.
    “It was horrible..” the girl s aid, crying “She was there… and the blood, the blood, literary everywhere … ”
    Jaco b didn’t stop stroking her hair but at th e same time became very tense. How did Lilith get into a church? And then he remembered Jonathans words. Lilith is the oldest vampire in existence, nor mal exorcisms won’t work on her. Maybe holy places don’t harm her? Although maybe Carrie just imagin ed things and no one was there? , he thought to himself .
    “Everything’s okay now” he whispered and covered her face with his hands, forcing her to look into his eyes. “ Just tell everyone about this, and wait in the living room. We’l l see what we can do about it”
    He delicately kissed her tears off and helped her get up   and then they both left the room whi le holding each other’s hands. Carrie was happy that she had Jacob as she felt safe in his presence, although her attitude towards the vampires was still colder than before. Somehow she couldn’t accept t he fact that he was one of them and a part of her was still frightened, it understood tha t he was ruthless and dangerous an d that she couldn’t be with him no matter how much she wanted it.
    While she was walking through the corridor, she noticed that it was just as dark as Jac ob’s room – it was lit only by small candles   and all the curtains w ere shut. Carrie  knew that it was probably the daytime and the vampires needed to protect themselves from the sunlight. 
    Nothing changed in the living room, except for the lack of sunlight and the fact that everyone was agitated by the current situation. When she and Jacob entered the room everyone started looking at her intently so she took a d eep breath and sat on the couch between Jay and Paige. Blake le aned forward and put his hand on her knee .
    “Okay, Carrie. Now tell me calmly about everything that happened”
    She didn’t want to go back to that happening but she was aware that i t could be an important el ement in this convoluted puzzle and she closed her eyes and concentrated on what she remembered. After a moment she told them everything in accordance to the images that moved in her mind like a horror movie. She felt the moisture of tears wetting her cheeks again but she didn’t open her eyes until she finished.
    No on e said anything for a long time until Paige finally allowed herself to
