“Go, Ivan. Drive.” Erik pants out
as he shuts his door.
Ivan quickly drives the car down
the driveway while more bombs go off behind us.
“Holy shit, Marcus had the whole
place rigged to blow.” Ivan exclaims as he glances back in the rearview mirror.
I remain seated with my attention
out the front windshield. As much as I wanted to see Silas I also didn’t want
to see him in his deteriorated condition.
“He’s alright, Harper.” James
reassures me. “He’s just weakened.”
I nod and bite my lip while closing
my eyes to keep myself from falling apart.
The smell of rotten flesh was heavy
in the air along with dirt and something else much worse. It was horrifying to
be honest.
When the smell of blood hits me I
nearly lose my control.
My stomach groans as I dig my nails
into the seat beneath me.
“Just take a little, Silas.” James
instructs.
“That’s not going to be possible.”
I grit out.
“Why not, he seems to be in
control.” Erik replies.
“It’s not because I can feel his
hunger. He might seem to be in control but he’s not. The vampire is in
control.” I warn.
James curses loudly. “Damn it,
she’s right. He’s not stopping.”
Erik curses next as they begin
moving around in the backseat.
Ivan glances towards me with worry
as he pulls onto the main road.
Of course that’s the moment when
everything gets worse. While Erik and James struggle to control Silas red and
blue lights begin flashing behind us while a siren rings out.
“This cannot be happening.” Ivan
groans.
“What are we going to do? We can’t
stop, not yet.” I stress.
“Erik, what are we doing?” Ivan
questions tensely.
“Stop the car. The last thing we
want is a high speed chase.” Erik replies.
Ivan grunts in response before
pulling the car to the side of the road. He then quickly pulls out his wallet
while I grab the papers he would need from the compartment in front of me.
James and Erik somehow get Silas to
calm down while the police officer walks up to Ivan’s window.
“What’s the problem officer?” Ivan
asks while rolling down his window.
“I was just curious if you knew
what was going on at the Smith farm. You came from the driveway and we had
calls of smoke and loud booms coming from that area.” The officer replies.
“The smoke was coming from the
house. I don’t know what happened but when we were driving past we saw the
smoke and decided to see if we could help.” Ivan lies easily. “There wasn’t
much left of the house so we figured that we would drive back down the road to
see if we could find some sort of help.”
I grab my phone and hold it up. “My
phone wouldn’t get a signal otherwise we would have called.”
He nods and then glances towards
his car before leaning down to look into the backseat.
“Is he alright?” The officer
questions as he points towards Silas’s body that was slumped over James in the
seat.
“Yeah, he’s fine, just a little
drunk.” Ivan answers.
The officer nods before pointing
towards me. “Are you alright? You have a little bit of blood on your arm.”
Before I can answer he studies Ivan
closer.
Without warning he pulls his gun
from its holster on his belt before he points it at us.
“Get out of the car with your hands
up.” He orders sternly.
“Erik…?” Ivan breathes out.
“Just do it.” Erik replies.
Ivan nods and then lifts his hands
before exiting the car. I quickly slide across the seat with my hands up. Once
I’m out I stand beside Ivan as the officer trains his gun directly on us.

Happy Reading!!
