embrace her friend and wipe her tears away .
“Damn” Jay said and this time no o ne looked at him in a weird way as they all agreed with him. “This is all my fault, if only I controlled my libido , this wouldn’t have happened… T he truth is that we found the bottle very quickly, it’s just that me and Paige… you know … “ he looked down and Paige blushed. “But when we came back , there was no blood n or Lilith there. Everything was normal, except for the fa ct that Carrie was unconscious” Jay added.
A dead silence engulfed the room as Carrie observed Blake nervously walk ing in circles.
“Damn Lilith and her gift of mind entry!”
“Are you beginning regretting something , brother?” Jacob said, raising his eyebrows .
Morton gave him an angry look which calmed down rather quickly.
“If you really want to know… I regret a lot of things. I regret that I let myself to be used this way. I regret that I let her give me some of her damned powers” He clenched his fist so stron gly that Carrie heard a crackle and then he extended them and said: “ I regret everything”
Do vampires have a conscience? Are human feelings hidden so mewhere in their damned souls? Probably not, Carrie thought. Only in T he Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice the v ampires had so mething similar to a conscience but in every book they were quickly and deadly ruthless killing machines devoid of emotion. No wonder that Blake ’ s confession surprised her so much .
Everyone looked at Zack who started looking into the distance and shaking uncontrollably, his lips opened slightly and started moving.
“What’s happening? What do you see?” Aidan and the Mo rton brothers got closer to him while Carrie and her friends were just look ing at him, confused. Blake turned around and explained.
“Zack was a fortune teller while he was alive. He kept his a bility after his transformation and this always happens when he gets a vision”
“Lilith… this evening… in the cemetery. .. she’ll summon Aur ora…” Zack whispered in the gaps between his sp astic breaths. His vision ended and he closed his eyes while breathing smoothly .
“Who’s Aur or a ?” Jay asked.
“It’s Lilith’s sister, the second oldest vamp iress” Jacob said . “Lilith will summon her using black magic and together they’ll try to take over the world and turn all the people into the vampires ”
It sounded a bit like a macabre children’s story but no one wanted to laugh .
“So it looks like the holy w ater won’t do much good here” said Paige “Then what was that whole trip for?”
“Every weapon is good ” Blake said “Actually, we have a whole arsenal in the basement ” he added as a plan awoke in his head .
Carrie was the only one who wasn’t listening to him and only played with her black ring while thinking of everything. Will she ever go back to her normal life when this is over?
Jacob looked at her for a split second, immediately noticed something was wrong and asked:
“What’s happening?”
He put his hand on her knee but she moved away quickly as she didn’t want to confess to him. But Morton didn’t give up that easily, he took her hand and asked :
“Do you prefer to talk in private?”
She nodded her head and let him take her to his room. She d idn’t mind the dark climate now and actually felt comfortable in it. Safe enough to confess to Jacob .
“I’m afraid that nothing will be the same when we defeat Lilith”
“Every thing will be okay, trust me” Normally he wou ldn’t even get so near a mortal but now he did something else, he hugged Carrie and s tarted cuddling her in his arms and stroking her hair. He was quiet for a moment, not understanding why he’s acti ng this way and how this mortal could have changed him so much
Finally he hugged her closer and whispered into her ear :
“You know Carrie, I was leading a pointless existence until now. Blake always was the leader and I always
