Dying To Be Heard (Book 1): Outcry
Page 22
She was surprised that Christophe had become as much a welcomed asset to their little team as he had. He took on shifts to help keep things locked up tight, and made sure everyone was safe. He’d given all the information he had on Vergall, the one behind it all, and had pledged his loyalty to “the cause,” as he’d come to call it.
Camden was understandably cautious around the new vampire. He never left him in the house alone with Rayne, and Christophe was not allowed to leave the property on his own just yet. She thought he was being a little overprotective, but knew that he eventually would come around.
Things between her and Camden were the same as they had been before, which she found slightly frustrating. His speech when she’d first woken up had seemed to promise more, but it could be that she was just reading too much into it.
Dr. Brennan looked down at his watch and sighed as he moved to place his plate in the sink. “It’s been a week since your last donation,” he said with a wink. “Ready to go again?” he asked.
Rayne swallowed her last bite and nodded, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. “Gotta keep the reserve going, right? Gotta save the world?” she said, and dropped her fork.
The two left the dining room and disappeared around through the main entry hall.
Shortly after awakening, Rayne had questioned Camden on the specifics of her grandfather’s death. He’d hesitated, but eventually told her the truth, that Martin Slade’s death was a suicide. Theory after theory had gone around the group, but after seeing the vision of him, Rayne was convinced she knew the answer; Martin Slade had given himself the serum. He was the source of the treated blood. He wouldn’t have given me something if he wasn’t sure it was safe. He tested it on himself first.
Dr. Brennan had agreed. It explained why he would have drained his own blood, to be absolutely sure that it wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands. It was still difficult for Rayne to accept, all of it was.
She shrugged the thought away as she followed Dr. Brennan to his room. As a whole, the team was working out fairly well. They were coming up with a plan of action now that they knew who Vergall was. Christophe had said that he wouldn’t stop until he’d gotten what he wanted. He was calling out for the vampire race to stand up against them and all humans alike, to take what he believed was rightfully theirs, complete dominion over the entire human population. It was an outcry for war.
She shook her head at the enormity of it all. One day at a time Rayne, one day at a time.
