Blake and Jacob were sitting down at the table, looking around the kitchen. Nick was making coffee, his back turned to me.
“Where is Aria?” I asked as I sat down at the table.
“Shower,” Nick said, not turning back to look at me.
“Nice house, man,” Blake said. “And the protection spell is awesome.”
“Thank you,” I said, with a huge grin..
“Are we safe here?” Jacob asked me.
Nick walked over to the table and gave Jacob and Blake their cups of coffee before walking back to the counter.
“For now,” I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. “We didn’t leave just to find Patricia. We also ran away because of the hunters. But I couldn’t think of a safer place for Aria right now.”
Nick sat down beside me and handed me my cup.
“She is not safe here then,” Jacob said with a smirk. “None of us are.”
“We should be fine for a couple of days,” I said. “I will think of something.”
“Maybe I could help,” a voice said behind me.
I turned around to see Annie standing in the doorway. Her hair was still wet from showering, and she was wearing sweats and a hoodie.
“How?” I raised my eyebrows at her.
She walked over to the table and sat down beside Nick.
“I’ve been talking to Mike,” she said. “He has a cabin in the woods. It is safe and secluded. He said he will help us.”
“What did you tell him?” I asked her, frowning.
I didn’t want them to know anything. I didn’t know if they could be trusted.
“Not much,” Annie shrugged. “I told them we were leaving because of the hunters. And I told them we came back because we couldn’t find a safe place. So, he offered his cabin.”
“I don’t trust him,” Nick growled. “What if he is working for Victor?”
“He is not,” Annie said, annoyed.
“Who is Mike?” Jacob interrupted.
“Annie’s friend,” I answered. “He is a vampire.”
“We can trust him,” Annie said and grabbed my hand. “Mike is a great guy, Gabe. And our best option right now.”
Nick growled quietly and I looked at him.
“I don’t trust him,” Nick said through his teeth.
“Is it because of Jack?” Annie asked and rolled her eyes.
Nick frowned and crossed his arms over his chest.
“No,” he said sternly. “I just don’t like them.”
“You never met them,” Annie spat back at him.
