Fateful Collision Chapter 30
Phil was currently incarcerated, and he was lying on his back while staring blankly at the ceiling. His thoughts were as black as the cell he was currently occupying. He had lived for nearly 600 years, untethered to anyone else, and unrestricted in his movement wherever he wished. And then he was introduced to Raquel. After that, you were confined to a cage for the next three years like a wild animal. Three miserable years passed by. And then he met Gwen, who not only changed his life but also illuminated for him the meaning of genuine contentment. Unfortunately, despite how much he despised Raquel and how much he cared for Gwen, his association with the two of them had resulted in his being held captive on multiple occasions, and he was very sick of being in that situation.He did this despite being aware that it was pointless; he pulled on the hefty silver shackle that was shackled to his right ankle and was attached to a strong bolt in the floor. He was left with a searing agony in

As she hurried back up to the apartment, she grabbed a fresh set of clothes as well as a pair of shoes. She was on her way back home!Upon entering the living room again, she cast a quick glance in Noah's direction. He stood there close to the fireplace with his arms crossed over his chest and a sad expression on his face. When she followed her father out to the car, he stayed silent the entire time.After making sure that she was comfortable, her father started the car and drove away from the property. He would not answer her questions about why he was taking her away from the Grayson home in the middle of the night, so she was forced to speculate about the worst-case scenario. Her first reaction was that something terrible had happened to Phil, but because it was the middle of the night, she didn't have to worry about her father coming after her because of that. The only other thing that sprang to mind for her was that her mother was either sick or dead or on her way out of this wor

After emerging from his den, he set out in pursuit of his victim. He needed to eat regularly, and he needed to eat well. Given what we know about Raquel, it could be quite some time before the next meal.When he arrived at Raquel's house in New Mexico, it was one hour after midnight and he had transferred himself there. He paused for a while on the front porch, took a few deep breaths, and then rang the doorbell.After a few moments, the witch came to answer the door. Her wonderful reaction when she realized who he was was her startled expression.Her expression alternated between one of terror and one of astonishment. Fear was victorious. She yelled at him, "You are not allowed to come in!" She retreated one step, then yelled out for her companion or familiar. The cat came racing up to her and jumped into her arms while she was holding them.Phil uttered those words, "I've come to surrender," at some point. "But before we go any further, I need you to swear to me that you won't bothe

As he entered the restroom, he removed his jeans before going in. Being a vampire allowed him to heal swiftly from injuries, even those caused by silver, which was one of the advantages of his status. He got into the steamy shower and wished the entire time that Gwen was there with him. While he closed his eyes, he saw the image of her hands going down his back and shoulders, getting lower and lower...He stepped out of the shower, patted himself dry, and then sprawled out on the bed, shaking off the sexual thoughts that had been going through his head. While he was laying there with his arms folded behind his head, he mentally compiled a list of things he needed to get done before he got up the next morning. First, he would get on the phone and place an order for five dozen roses to be sent to Kusuma Ila. Second, he would package Raquel's wand and make arrangements to have it sent to her as full and final payment for the services that he had provided. And then, the third thing he wou

She double-checked the door after she had left it in order to ensure that it was safe, and then she proceeded to take the elevator down to the first floor. The sound of music caused her to take a pause. She was making her way down a tight hallway when she came to a giant window made of glass. She took a sneak peek inside and observed a number of young women of varying ages dressed in leotards and tights. She couldn't help but crack a grin as she watched the young girl with the long red pigtails perform a flawless pirouette. Gwen wanted to show her support for the young child, who couldn't have been older than three or four at the most.Gwen lingered for a few minutes, daydreaming about the day she would have a daughter of her own and see her perform her first demi-plié at the barre. Did Phil desire children? How likely was it that the two of them would be able to successfully conceive a child together?She sat there, watching the dancers, until her stomach began to rumble in such a lo

She took a deep breath in order to stifle the irate words that were rising to the surface of her throat. "I was trapped in here and needed to get out." She massaged her arms by moving her hands up and down her limbs. "I called up my good friend."Phil nodded. You really needed to have a conversation with somebody who, for lack of a better description, is normal. I understand.""You do? Have you ever had those feelings before?"Of course, every so often." When he saw her shocked reaction, he simply shrugged. "Over the course of the past few hundred years, I've had what I suppose you could call woman companions from time to time. Not for use with prey. Not for sexual use. Simply for the purpose of companionship. Just to have the opportunity to experience being human for a week or two."He took a few steps back, at which point she strolled over to the sofa and sat down on it. "Did you ever love any of them?" is the question.While his brow furrowed in concentration, he slid his hands int

Gwen felt a strange queasy feeling in the pit of her stomach, and she had the bewildering impression that she was travelling through time and space at a quick pace.They arrived at Bondurant just a few moments later.Gwen observed as she looked about the now-familiar room that she was staying in, "This place is starting to feel like home."“Yeah.” After placing Gwen's suitcase inside the closet, Phil drew her into his arms and kissed her forehead. He was horrified at the prospect of her returning there, but there was no use in harping on it any further. She was able to empathize with him."When the pack runs, it'll probably be too late."Phil remarked, "I'll look for you somewhere in the hills near the river," and he intended to do so. If her father were to succeed in getting her back into the compound, it was impossible to say when or if she would ever be able to leave it again. At least he didn't have to be concerned with Raquel trying to track them down this time.Gwen squeezed him

Noah raised his eyes to stare at her while tears ran down his face. "I don't know," he responded when asked about it. "Everything took place in such a flash. This assailant emerged from the bushes and fatally shot your father. I... I eliminated him before he could reload his weapon."Is that man... my father?"Noah nodded. "I'm afraid he's gone."Gwen gave a slight nod in response. “No. He can't possibly be." She resisted Noah's attempt to hold her hand while her own eyes searched fruitlessly for any indication of life.She sank back on her heels. She had only recently finished burying her mother, and now this was happening. Had she, on some fundamental level, been aware that anything of the order of this was about to take place? Was that the reason why she felt the need to return home? Because it was necessary for her to be here?She closed her eyes as she continued to massage her temples. Why did she feel so numb inside, like she was missing something? Her father had just been kille
