Be Careful When You Bite Me
Chapter 26
“I-I’m sorry,” I didn’t know why I felt guilty but I did, almost has if he had cheated on her.
She simply smiled,” he said you had very tasty blood.”
“So he never planned on asking you to help me, he played me.”
She nodded,” Xavier may be an ass sometimes but he’s a good guy once you get to know him.”
Asia stood up and walked towards the high hanging television. She grabbed the remote and scrolled through some channels,” it’s going to be a boring day here for you, I’m not sure when Damon is coming back, but I’ve got to get to work soon,” she walked over to me and handed me the remote,” please feel at home.”
I smiled this time not having to force myself,” thank you for everything.”
She grabbed a bag and some keys that were hanging by the door and left me all alone in her massive place.
I stationed myself on the comfortable leather couch and flipped through channels until I landed one in particular that caught my attention. The background was an altering bright red and on the screen was a picture of me from my high school dance with the headlines Missing Teen
I felt my heard drop down to my knees and sat up, turning the volume up to hear what the reporter had to say.
“Holly Sloan missing since October 15th, last seen leaving Woodbridge, Pennsylvania, if anyone has any information on the missing teen, please contact the number displayed on the screen.”
A thousand thoughts raced through my mind. I felt the tears pooling at the edges of my eyes and suddenly felt a painful wVd of guilt hit me. I had completely forgotten to call my parents.
They must be worried sick.
I realized that I had been so caught up in my own problems I hadn’t taken a second to think about the fact that they hadn’t heard from me in over a week.
Without a logical thought, I decided to scavenger the place for a phone. I need to talk to my mother and let her know that I was alright and that I wasn’t stuck in a ditch somewhere.
It must have been about half an hour later and I had searched every room in the place, including Xavier and Asia’s bedroom and all I was able to find was a passport protected laptop. I finally gave up and slummed down on the couch, making sure to turn the television off.
A sudden knock at the door brought me back to reality from my drowning misery and I almost ran to open it. My first thought was that it must be Damon since Asia and Xavier would for sure have the key to their own place.
I flung the door wide open to reveal Luna.
