Chapter 66 - Cara
Cara rushed through a brief explanation. “We don’t have time for the full story. We need to get out of here right now, but I’ll tell you the rest later.”
“This is a lot,” Julia said.
“Yeah, I know. We should really get going, though. We can discuss it when we’re far from this place.”
“Wait,” Quinn said. “Is Jackson okay? He was with us when it happened.”
“He’s okay,” Cara said, deciding not to mention the temporary side effects on his mind.
“Oh, thank god,” Quinn breathed.
They went into the corridor, and the girls frowned at the two piles of ash.
“What is that?”
“Vampires,” Cara said. “The men guarding your cell.”
Quinn and Julia stared at her for a moment.
“You know, this explains a lot,” Quinn said, turning to Julia.
Cara frowned.
“Yeah,” Julia said. “This is why she’s been acting so weird. Our theories were way off.”
“What theories?” Cara asked.
Julia shrugged, trying to look innocent.
“Personally, I was convinced it was Nick,” Quinn said.
“I told you Cara wasn’t like that,” Julia said.
“Yeah, but what else could it have been?” Quinn said. “It’s not like either of us could have predicted vampires and magic being real.”
“Guys,” Cara said. “Please. We need to focus.”
“Wait,” Julia asked. “Is Nick a witch, too?”
Cara hesitated. “No,” she said. “He’s not a witch.”
There was a noise from the corner, and a vampire stepped into view. “I was waiting to take you by surprise, but I can’t bear the thought of listening to any more of this conversation.”
“Rude,” Quinn said as she backed away.
Cara reached for a wooden stake, and then another vampire stepped into view beside him.
“Back off!” Quinn said. “You don’t want to mess with us. She’s a witch.”
The vampires laughed. “We know what she is.”
Cara stepped in front of them. “Leave them out of this,” she said. “They’re not involved.”
