Aly’s face fills with excitement. “I have the power to transport us anywhere! Think of all the places we’ll go once this is all over.”
Sure, with us too.
Anna is thrilled as we make our way outside. I don’t say anything, they’re being positive and thinking of the future. It’s a good thing, a healthy thing.
Jay knocks his shoulder with mine. “Calm down Jer, we will keep her safe. We are going to end this soon, I can feel it.”
Surprisingly, that makes me feel better.
We gather around Aly, Anna looks nervous about transporting. I subtly stand by Anna, so I can catch her if I need to, the first time can be jarring.
“Here, put these on before we go.” Nic takes the charms out of his pocket and starts handing them out. “I’ve made it, so we can still see each other as ourselves but anyone else will see a disguise.”
He hands me a bracelet with one bead on it. I slide it on my wrist and pull the strings so it tightens. Magic rushes over me, I wonder what he made me look like?
I can see a flash of the magic as Aly puts her necklace on, Aly’s disguise is blonde with a lighter complexion, and no identifying marks, but then she’s just my Aly again. I didn’t see anyone else’s flash, so I’m not sure what they look like or myself. I’m grateful Nic made it, so we can see through the disguises. I wouldn’t want any of us getting mixed up once we are back on campus. Plus, I want to be able to see my mate the way she is.
“Okay, everyone ready?” Aly asks and there’s a round of agreement.
The familiar sensation hits my gut as I see my surroundings melt away. We land among the trees in a backyard. Anna immediately loses her footing and starts to go down but luckily I’m there to catch her. Aly gives me a grateful smile and my heart warms. I’ll deny it if anyone asks, but I love making my mate happy, it fills me with a joy I never knew I could feel.
Nic puts his phone away as he strides towards the house, he must have shown Aly a picture to bring us here. We all follow him, taking in our surroundings.
It’s a typical college town house, nothing too fancy. I can’t tell how many bedrooms it is from here, but it’s big, so that’s a good sign.
Although, I’ve enjoyed sharing a room all together back at the cabin. We’ve been puppy piling it each night and I think we would all miss it if we separated. Hopefully, we can find a way to still be close.
But if Nic can have his own room to satisfy his neat freak tendencies, then I think we will all be happier.
When we get inside, the house is clean and furnished. I’m guessing Nic pulled some strings to get it and have it set up for us. I don’t know if Aly realizes it yet, but that guy is seriously loaded.
“How did you get this place in the middle of the semester?” Aly asks.
Nic gives a non-answer, confirming my suspicions that she doesn’t know.
“So, not to be awkward but I’m starving. Can I eat again?” Anna asks.
My gut clenches, I don’t like what comes next. But I’m going to need to get over it because we can’t starve Anna.
“Yes, you can. You can eat when you’re hungry, you just don’t want to gorge yourself on it. It’s food, nothing else,” I say.
“You can have some of my blood. I’ll fill a cup for you, okay?” Aly asks.
I follow her into the kitchen where she grabs a knife and cup. I hate that she’s doing this but I understand it’s for her best friend.
“Anna is doing really well,” Aly comments while she fills the cup.
I don’t answer right away, making Aly squint at me with worry shining in her eyes.
“Right?” She asks, sounding concerned and my stomach tightens into a knot.
“She is. My parents told me there was a chance but I didn’t want to get your hopes up.”
“A chance?” She sounds confused and of course she is, I’ve barely explained.
“The amulet is also giving her more control over her blood-lust. I don’t know anything about how it works,” I tell her.
She searches my face as she waits to heal.
