Cap. 29 What's wrong with Josh? - Claire! "I could hear the cry in my dreams, but he would not wake up. Why? It was better there, where my problems disappeared. Claire, wake up, I brought Josh back.
"Josh?", "Back? However, it should raise, needed to talk to him. I opened my eyes and there was Ryan, looking at me intently. Sunlight filtered in the curtains behind him and lit his gray hair ... "Grizzly?!
- hello.o-greeted quietly, as if nothing was happening in specific.
Focus your eyes on it and finally I realized that something was wrong. His face was gaunt, dark. Some wrinkles began to appear on his forehead, under which burned red above beautiful eyes. And besides, it looked extremely weak and tired.
- Ryan "I said sitting up terrified, but knowing what was happening. Ryan, How long have not you eat?
He turned to be discovered, but when she looked at me, was the same as always, no shadows, red eyes, or wrinkles. Appearing totally normal. For a second I swallowed it, but then I discovered what had really done. It was a hypnotic trick, in my mind had created an illusion in which his image was totally different from real, deep down was wrong.
- Recently, I believe yesterday or something así.-answered confidently.
- Quit eso. "I complained. I think your image, only spend your energies to hypnotize. Tell me the truth
Raymond, How long?
- Since arriving James. replied in a resigned sigh, back to the previous appearance.
- That's more than a week, "I said shocked.
- Cálmate. "He said taking one of my hands. Look, wait till you fix things with Josh and then go hunting, right?
- No, no Agreement.The "I said emphasizing the" no "-. This is not any good, Ryan, I do not want to risk it this way for me.
- Claire, do not worry, I'll soon caza. "He said trying to reassure me. For now what matters is to discover what happens to Josh, he did that is acting strange.
- I can manage on my own with my brother, Ryan. You must feed yourself right now. You're starting to look like someone 50.
- Well, I promise to go today "said mismo. exaggerated. But give me a few minutes to try to discover what Josh.
- De Agreement.The "I conceded. So Angie can not read your mind?
- No, we have all of us bloqueados. "replied bitterly. The power of my brother was a kind of shield, blocking the effects of the powers of other vampires himself. None of our powers work in him.
- Well, I'll a shower and then go talk to him "I said rising from my bed.
- This ... espera. "He said taking me by the arm. ... I do not know if it will be available.
- What do you mean by that is not available? "I asked confused.
Ryan and I looked down I saw the haggard face was too complicated. I did not know how to answer. Without waiting I wrapped myself in a breeze, using my powers, and I took myself to Josh's room as fast as the wind in a storm.
- Josh? "I asked stopping in front of his door.
Nobody answered so I was slowly entering the room, Josh finally found lying on his bed sleeping, just that he could not really sleep.
- Are you unconscious? "I asked Ryan, who obviously had followed me.
- No, he is ... He tried to explain. Well, ...
- This is called "coma" said Kristen .- directly from within the piece, since there appeared to be taking care of my brother. Ryan found him about two hours ago, drunk in a bar in Argentina.
That it was much, my brother was not so, come what could not justify the act well. I approached him running, and I woke up one cry.
- Joseph La Pher "I said shaking.
This turned into bed and slowly blinking at me confused. He looked so lost, confused and somewhat tense than I was worth seeing.
- Josh.-mumbled back a step.
- Do not scream about, prayed favor. running a hand through his head slowly.
was incredible to be around 300 years, only now behave like a real teenager. But despite the shock it caused me was not the real reason we were here.
- Kristen, Can you leave them alone, please? "I said looking at her imploringly.
- Claro. she replied.
Instantly everyone present except for my brother and I are retired. I sat on the edge of the bed and just as he often had to advise me, I decided to talk quietly with him.
- Josh need to know what happens.
- Claire, nothing happens, tranquilízate. "He said turning around.
- Please trust Mich. "I said calmly. We can solve it together.
- No, no podemos.-muttered, half to himself. But then he added more strongly. Because there is nothing to solve. All is well, right?
- Josh "I said tired of it. I'm begging you to tell me the truth.
- Look, Claire. "He said beginning to rise. I have a hangover, I remember almost nothing from the night before and I have no intention of these discussions.
I looked with a frown, this was far from my brother. Never, not even when we were chasing, had turned it this way.
- all right .- That was all he said to my gesture, and then get up and move to the bathroom.
I followed his eyes, trying to imagine what it'd be worried, but not was nothing so bad as to behave well. I kept thinking when I saw a slight movement in it that would not have noticed you are not looking so intently, he had passed the light of a window and had run the right hand to avoid it.
- Josh a moment, "I called him immediately.
- What ... "He stopped and turned but he ran into the sunlight stopped and turned back with a gesture of pain.
- Josh. cried running towards him. Lost your ring!
ring each of us had us out to the sunlight, he had lost. And now, could be anywhere part of Argentina, the United States ... or the world.
- ... yes, I think hice.-answered, looking nervous again.
decided they wanted no more of this I turned around and let him continue his way to the bathroom as I walked to the first floor, off.
- Where you going? "He asked Ryan out of his room, which was next to the piece of my brother.
- Josh has lost his ring, I go to buy one, I explained new. stopping by his side.
- I acompaño. "He said immediately, closing the door to his room to exit.
- No, No. "I refused, taking my hand against his chest to stop him. You must feed, I can go alone.
- But do you get there floating on a personal whirlwind as you did few minutes ago? "He asked smirking. I do not think you spend too unnoticed. I weighed my options
a moment and then I realized I could not go so fast I only needed a vampire. Luckily, Ryan was not the only one of its kind in this house.
- I can ask Thom and Kristen lleven.-I contradicted him closer to him to keep stopping.
- Come on, let me go contigo. "I whispered in his ear. I still have time to live but not feed me.
I turned my face to refute but to see her lips so close to mine I could not help the attraction she felt towards him and kissing him eagerly cut the distance. Ryan stuck me closer to him crossing his arms over my back while I rested my hand on his cheek gently. While we kissed Ryan was evidence thrown back and open the door to his room, but it was not time for that, the first thing on my mind was to help Josh.
- No, Ryan, no now. "I said while trying to get away from him, but I myself stopped me.
- Right, sorry, now we go to the alley for a new ring-.Dijo showing great self-control, but also a great cunning, and taking advantage that I had grabbed her arms and ran to me took vampiric speed up the alley.
Once we were there, I went down and, grinning from ear to ear boasted of his insight.
- Now you can not do that with you.
- Well, but in return you must feed, right?
- Sure, I joked CAPTAIN him to then take my hand and move down the alley.
Find a position where I sell amulets against the effect of the sun toward the vampires, it was somewhat difficult but not impossible. There was always one or two for sale. We toured the dead in silence, looking carefully examining every position there. There were huge amounts of posts with bottles when I had my memory had not recognized ... bottles of blood, human blood.
- Hey, chicos. "We called a seller from a position. We approached
thinking he was mind reader and knew we wanted a charm, so things were happening all the time in the alley.
- Are new to this and seek bottled blood, "asked the seller once were close. Do not worry, already accustomed to drink directly from humans, for while, I have the best bottled fresh blood alley for just $ 12, a great price. Then
brought us a bottle open for the smell. Instinctively I turned away, with blood human again caused me some repulsion. The vampire with the bottle container withdrawal of our faces and looked at me accusingly.
- You're not the nuestros. muttered.
was going to explain what happened but then I realized there was something even more important to worry about. Ryan's eyes had become very dark and looked at the bottles on the table at him. I really needed to eat, but could not afford to do so in human blood, it never forgive himself.
- Ryan, we irnos. "I said taking him by the arm and away from there.
Once we were away from their eyes back to some normalcy, we walked a few steps away from everything and take a breath strongly. I thought then his behavior would, but deteriorated completely. I had forgotten that I myself was a human.
- What siento. muttered sadly, regretting since before it was going to do, and grabbing me by the shoulders, pushed her against a wall.
- Ryan, no, favor. "Try to control it, but I was too terrified. Ever since I knew he had been so hungry to damage to a human form that I had just hurt me. I felt the bricks digging into my back hurting, but somehow did not feel, fear had invaded my senses.
But whatever he said, he was holding me against the wall, looking at my neck straight, regardless of anything else. It was strange to think that he would die at the hands of those who had saved me many times both of others like myself.
Ryan left to see its fangs, ready to attack, yet in some ways seemed to be suffering. She drew her mouth to my neck, but not enough to hurt me.
I wish I could say that he could control but did not. During the second I closed my eyes waiting for my death, someone came between Ryan and I, Michael.
Her back was to me, attached to it with one arm while with the other man was in front of my boyfriend and offered him a bottle. Bebiéndosela Ryan took a sip and turned his eyes to me. For a split second seemed to be trying to drink my blood, but thanks to that Michael had betrayed him, his eyes returned to normal.
- Claire? "He said looking at this strange scene and looking confused.
Our eyes met As in the airport when I returned, but this time reflected my fear, and he seemed to realize, remembering what had happened.
- Perdona. muttered. You were right, I need to feed.
just finished saying this he turned and ran from the alley. Michael turned to me, watching me worried.
- Are you okay?
nodded his head slowly, and then I felt I could no longer hold the tears and long mourn threw myself into his arms. He seemed surprised, so at first I hugged awkwardly, but after a few seconds, his arms wrapped me sweetly.
- Quiet, you're right ... "he murmured in my ear.
- I know, "I said softly. Slowly turning away from him I apologized. Sorry, it's just that ...
- I needed, yes, "he said smiling entiendo. sympathetically. I'll walk through the ring, right?
- Vale., I accepted without even asking how he knew, and having lived with Michael for so long, was used to these things.
continue down the alley in the same way as before but now, instead of Ryan, it was Michael who was walking beside me in silence.
