27: Locked Away Memories
Jillie’s POV
I watched as he trailed off and grew silent. I waited on him to continue, but he didn’t. Seconds went by, and then minutes. It was like he was in a trance. He seemed to be watching the scene take place.
“Jarren,” I said softly, but it was enough to snap him out of it. He looked at me. “What happened next?”
He took a deep breath. “That’s just it, Jillie. I’m not sure. All I know is that when I woke up the next morning, Annabelle was dead.”
I gasped. “Did you……?” I trialed off.
“Kill her? I thought I didn’t; I knew I couldn’t have. I would never have done that to Carson, we were best friends, but my scent was the only on

Jillie’s POV“Daddy, come on. Her plane lands in forty minutes.” I yelled at my Dad. It was Thursday, and we were supposed to pick up Kaileeh from the airport.“I’m coming, princess.” He made his way from his room in the back, and we headed out the door with Mom. I climbed into the backseat of Dad’s Bentley and headed toward the airport. The ride was silent except for the music on the radio. I was excited as we got closer to the airport. I hadn’t seen Kaileeh since July, and I’d missed her. We pulled into the airport parking lot and found a space close to the doors. I hopped out of the car, s
Bitten 29: Beast of a Man
Jillie's POV“I met my husband Demetri when I was about eighteen. In the time I’d grown up in, I’d been a woman for about two years. It was customary for fathers to pick their daughter’s husbands. Well, like most young women of that era, I didn’t object or refuse when my father told me that I was to marry Gordon Peterson. He was the son of a wealthy banker. Even though I knew Gordon was a terribly spoiled brat, and he was quite a little snot,” she said, chuckling. “Anyway, I held my contentment in. It was disrespectful to object to your father’s wishes. A few weeks went by, and I was completely miserable. I’d always loved the moonlight, so I went for a walk one night. I’d made it to the end of the street, and I saw him just under the street lantern. It was the first time I’d ever laid eyes on Demetri.”

Jillie's POVShe stopped talking, and we watched it play out in front of us. There was no sound, but I could tell the conversation was a mix of anger, fear, hurt, and betrayal on Nunny’s part, but when I looked at Demetri’s face, all I could see was the love he held for her.“We sat in that room until the sun rose. Him trying to explain and calm down my hysterics the entire time. He then asked me, ’Am I any different from the man you fell in love with? Am I such a monster to you now that you can’t see that man?’ When he asked me that, my whole resolve cracked because he was right. He was still the man I’d fallen in love with. The man that I’d married. The man that I still loved. Admittedly, I was still a little frightened, but he hadn’t hurt me the entire time, and I knew he wouldn’t now. Days we
Bitten 31: One of the Best Days
Jarren’s POV I closed my locker and headed to first period as the bell rang. I hadn’t seen Jillie, so I was assuming she was late. I walked into the classroom and took my seat at the back. I lay my head on the desk and pretended to be asleep. I learned that girls were less likely to try to talk to me if they thought I was sleeping. I sat in class that way the entire time until the bell rang. I made my way to Chemistry and sat at my table. Jillie came in a few minutes later with a girl with black hair. She and Jillie had a few of the same facial features, and she was short like Jillie. She was only a little taller. Maybe about five foot three or so. Jillie took a stool from an emp

Jarren's POVAfter school, I went to my parent’s house to talk to them. My mom wasn’t there, but my dad was. I walked into his study and sat across from him at his desk.“Hello, Jarren.”“Hey, Dad.”He looked up at me and closed the book he was looking at. “What’s on your mind, son?”“How did you-““You have that look.”“Okay, well, today at school, I was in Chemistry, and I was blocking everyone’s thoughts out, but somehow Jillie still managed to get hers in.”“Really?&rdqu
Bitten 33: Garret's Arrival
Jillie’s POV I hadn’t seen Jarren since Friday night when he told me about the prophecy in the vampire book. It was still hard for me to believe. I didn’t know if I really did or not. I knew he was spending time with his cousin, but I still missed him. I knew, however, that he would come during the middle of the night. I’ve woken up the past three mornings with Crocus flowers on my nightstand. He was so sweet. I was sitting in front of my mirror, putting the finishing touches on my makeup. It was almost eight, and Mason’s party was due to start any minute. I’d just finished when Kaileeh appeared in my vision.“Yo
Bitten 34: Believer of Soul Mates
It was two in the morning by the time we left. I was tired. Kaileeh actually fell asleep on the ride home. When I pulled into the driveway, I shook her and woke her up. I then noticed that Elise’s Charger was parked. Oh great. I’m definitely looking forward to this week at the cabin. We made it inside the house, and all the lights were off. I whispered a goodnight to Kaileeh as I trudged up the stairs to my room in the dark. I opened my door and closed it before flipping the switch on. I nearly jumped out of my skin. Lying on my bed was Jarren, and Garret was sitting in my computer chair.“Remind me to start keeping holy water and a lighter handy,” I mumbled. They both chuckled. “Seriously, what would you guys have done if Kaileeh had been with me?”
Bitten 35: Weird Shared Dreams
Jarren's POV I woke up the following day, and it was after ten. I pulled on a pair of jeans and a blue long-sleeve sweater. I grabbed a suitcase and started putting clothes in it. Once I was done, I headed into the kitchen. Garret was sitting at the bar.“I made breakfast.” He stated. I walked over to the stove and saw bacon, eggs, and oatmeal. I fixed myself a plate and sat at the bar beside him. We ate in silence. Once I was done, I put my plate into the dishwasher and warmed up a blood package. When it was done, I poured it into a glass and gulped it down. I was really getting tired of packaged blood.“Are you packed?” I asked.“Yeah.”“Good, we’re leaving in about ten minutes.” He nodded, and I walked out of the kitchen. I went to my ro
