Chapter 481: Communication

"I don’t think he is dead,’’ I manage as I run my hands through my hair from the frustration I feel right now.

"What did you do with his body?’’ Beau asks me calmly.

I sigh because I don’t even want to have to think about what happened after. I don’t want to think about how I had to carry his body to the car, how I had to bury him in the woods. I don’t want to have to think about how I became a monster to protect the man I love. I have done a lot of bad things in my life; I am no fucking saint but I have never killed someone that didn’t fight back.

"I buried him. His heart was out of his chest, so I shouldn’t even have these thoughts in my mind right now. The doubt that he might still be alive scares the fuck out of me.

"Why do you think he might still be alive. there must be a reason why you have these worries.’’

I nod because I can’t stop thinking about the smile on his face as I ripped his heart out. There was no aorta of fear. It is almost like that was what he wanted. Like he wanted me to freak out. That was the reaction he was hoping for.

"I don’t know, maybe it is all in my head. I am just so worried. Have you ever heard anything about the myths of hybrids?’’

He furrows his brows "No, this is something that doesn’t happen."

"He was interested in Jabi because of his blood. Which makes me think there is more that we are not aware of. Something that could in turn be a problem. Your babies are hybrids, Gyles is a hybrid. It seems like the community is full of hybrids. Should it be something we have to worry about?’’

I have been thinking about it for some time now. If word got out, that we have hybrids here and their blood is actually as special as Lenny said, then it could lead to a problem.

There will be vampires out there that would want their blood, just as Lenny did. There will always be people that wouldn’t follow the treaty. It is normal to have people that never follow the rules.

"Shit," he exclaims and I know that he is thinking the same thoughts as I am. This could be a problem that we don’t need right now.

"I am going to go home and ask my father. Get more information on this before we panic." I tell him.

He nods his head slowly.

"Does it ever end?’’

I have been thinking the same thing. Like when will we just have peace. I am tired of these problems. I just want to live a peaceful life with Jabi and not have to worry about anything hurting us.

"I don’t know man, I don’t know.’’

**********************

I walk into the house and Jabi stands up from the couch immediately. He is looking at me but he doesn’t make a move to come to me. He is acting weird and I don’t want that. Somehow, it feels like he thinks this is all his fault.

I know that this is not his fault because Lenny would have found a way to get to him, even if he didn’t push.

"Are you hungry?’’ I ask him as I slowly walk over to him. He is still standing on the same spot.

"No, I am fine.’’

I know he is lying. I know him too well to even think he isn’t. It has been hours since he had any real food.

"Let me go and get meat from Beau’s house. I don’t want you skipping meals.’’

"Elu gave me blood earlier, I don’t need to eat tonight."

I sigh because I know we have to actually talk about everything that has happened. I don’t want to keep how I feel to myself. I walk over to the couch and pull him with me, he follows me obediently. I always want to communicate with him, let him know where my head is at and right now, my head is in a confused fog.

I don’t know what we are going to do with all the information that I have gathered. For now, we know that a hybrid’s blood might be special. Something that other vampires might want and that could bring danger to the community. Especially knowing that we have hybrids here.

I sit down on the couch and he sits on my lap gently. His eyes roam around me like he is trying to figure me out but he can’t. I have always been an open book with him but I don’t want him to read my fear right now, since this is basically like the first time, I have ever cared about something so much.

I have a lot to lose and I can’t lose him.

"I know you think this is all your fault,’’ I reach for him and cup his face softly. His eyes remain on me "This is not your fault. don’t ever think it is,’’ I add calmly. "I want you to ask me anything, and I will answer,’’ I add. I want to be an open book with him. I have to be.

"What happened with Lenny? What did he tell you when you went to find him?’’ he asks me finally. I knew this was going to be the first thing he would ask and I am okay with it.

"He took your blood from you. He didn’t hide it."

He furrows his brows in confusion "Why me? He could have any human’s blood. What did he want from mine?’’

I tell him everything and I watch him as he digests my words. I see the flicker in his eyes, the doubt, the fear and I didn’t want him to feel this way. I want to be his comfort, his protector but this is where we are at right now. This is the only way that I can protect him.

"What if he is not dead?"

I can see that he has the same worries as me. There is a part of me that believes he is still alive. I just find it hard to believe that he is dead.

Some part of me doesn’t believe it and Jabi seems to think that way too.
