Chapter 63: Mind link?
Alanis.
The drive ho is full of anger.
I am going back ho and I still haven’t found him. I thought I would get a clue to where Cassius is keeping him. I thought I would get so answers but there is nothing but disappointnt.
Darrien is as pissed as
but he is trying to keep
calm. We both can’t be upset at the sa ti; it will get us nowhere.
"I don’t know what to do," I conclude defeated.
Darrien sighs loudly and I watch him with my side-eyes. I still have to focus on the road. At this point, I am at the endpoint. I don’t have any other leads, no solutions. If Cassius kills him before I can get to him, I don’t know what I will do.
"We know that he is alive, as long as he is alive, we have hope. We will find him," he tries to reason with . He Is right, but the longer we wait, the higher the chances of him getting killed. From what I have gathered, his pack has given up on him. They are all in denial. Thinking that Fallon could sohow be the saving grace they need. Cassius has a plan; I know he does and that plan is killing all the wolves in this town. He won’t just stop at Beau, so they are all not safe. Right now, I can’t convince them otherwise. They never even accepted
in the first place. So, there is no way they will listen to . The only thing I can do is bring Beau back. He is the only one that can talk sense into them all.
"We can’t keep hoping that he keeps him alive, we have to find him."
The desperation is evident in the sound of my voice. I have reached my limit. Darrien is the one at the short end of this. I am putting all my pent-up frustration on him.
The surprising thing is how chill he is about it all.
He is slowly becoming one of my favourite people.
"I know, I have a couple of people searching, it will take a while but a few of my friends are on it. El too."
I am shocked by his words because they are unexpected. Vampires know other vampires. We might not all be as together as the wolves but we still have loyalty between our kind. Darrien has a lot of friends. He knows a lot of people and there is a possibility that one of those said people will see Cassius. Possibly soone saw him at his location.
"I can’t take this anymore Darrien, I can’t stand not knowing," my voice is weak as it trembles. My hands shake as I try to grip unto the steering wheel. There is a lot going on in my head. A lot of fighting going on between my heart and my brain. My heart is weak, tired and alone. It can’t fight anymore. I just want to crawl into a hole and be done with but my brain is telling
to stay strong, not to give up. It is a fight I cannot win.
We get ho and I park the car in our driveway. Darrien looks at
one last ti and manages a faint smile. I can’t focus on how unexpected he is being. He gets down from the car and I take steady breaths as I feel the tears start to fall.
I cannot help myself anymore.
This is all I can do.
Cry like a fucking pussy.
"How do I know you’re okay, how do I do this without you?"
I am talking to myself. I don’t expect an answer from him. This is just
trying to understand how I will continue without him. I have never been one to cry, at least not until I t Beau. He brought out a lot of emotions in
that I never knew I had. Now, any small thing, my eyes burst out like a leaking tap.
I hate it.
Being this vulnerable.
At least when Beau was with , he’d hold
in his arms and comfort . Let
know that everything was going to be alright.
Who is going to assure
now?
I am okay.
I hear those three words suddenly and it sounds like it is coming from my head. Jumping up, I look around in search of him. I swear it was his voice. I heard Beau just now.
"Beau," I call his na out loud, slowly and hopeful. I don’t know what is going to happen but I feel him even stronger than I have all day. If he is sohow communicating with , I want to hear him again.
Silence.
All I hear is silence, mocking .
I wait.
And wait.
This might take so ti.
"Beau, are you here?"
I am losing my mind. Talking to myself like sohow, it’ll make a difference. Is this even possible? To communicate with him when he is not around. I’ve never heard about this before.
Lanis.
It is just my na.
One word.
But my heart reacts to it like it is everything.
"It’s you, you’re really talking to
right now?"
Yes, I am here.
I sit on the chair and take deep breaths. This is surreal, I have so many questions. This is insane.
"Where are you?"
I ask him the most important question because that is what I need right now. Know his location and then find him. Would he even know where he is? Is it even possible?
I don’t know.
Fuck, I knew that would be the likely answer. Cassius wouldn’t just take him to a place where he knew. It cannot be that easy.
"How is this possible?"
I know I am only asking questions. He doesn’t need all this right now. This is weird but I just want to keep him talking. I don’t want to lose this.
I don’t know. I only have this kind of connection with my kind. This is even more intense. I can see you too.
I take a deep breath because of the fact that he can see
makes
excited. Right now, it feels like he is here, with .
"How?"
Close your eyes, my eyes are closed right now.
It is a suggestion. Not like it would work but just the fact that I can c hear him in my head is exciting enough. It’ll be a plus if I can also see him. The fear of disappointnt lingers. The possibility that it won’t work. If I can see him, I can see where he Is. If I see where he is, I can also find him. It is a long shot but there is a fifty-fifty chance that I will find him.
With a heavy breath, I close my eyes slowly. Darkness is all I see as I wait for the magic to happen.
"I can’t see anything," I say deadpan.
Think about . Focus on the mories of us. Do what I did.
His voice is like music to my ears. His words are a beautiful whisper, pulling
in gradually. I want to suffocate in all that he is. I want to see him too. I do what he asks and his face is all I see. The smile he always had on when he was close to . When you apart from soone you need for basic survival, it is detrintal. Slowly, you forget the little things. Like the way he smiled, the sound of his voice. How he played with my hair when I was asleep. It has just been a couple of weeks and he is fading away from my mories.
I don’t want him to fade away.
I am right here.
With those words, I see what he is talking about. The man I am so in love with. He is in a room, on the floor. He doesn’t have any clothes on but his boxers and it is ripped and completely covered in dirt. His face breaks my heart the most. There is no smile, no crinkle in his eyes. Just pain and sothing else I cannot put my finger on.
Shit.
"I see you," I exclaim. I am not happy with the way he looks but I am just happy that I even see him. As long as I see him, I know he is alive. As long as he is alive, I can get to him.
He looks up, almost like he is next to . A smile crawls up to his face slowly but it is so wide, that I get the satisfaction.
Hi.
He breathes that one word out of relief.
We are connected. This is a mind link; I haven’t been able to talk to Rex or Bells. I have been too weak. Cassius has
on Wolfsbane.
Shit.
I know what that is, it is fatal to wolves. It could kill him. I need to get him out of there.
"How do I find you?" I ask him because that is my main mission.
He shrugs and stands up from the floor. His legs quiver but he manages to keep himself upright. My eyes follow him in the direction of the door. It is made of pure tal, there is a square hole on the top of the door, almost like a cell.
I don’t know. How long has it been since he took ?
I sigh "Two weeks."
He stops walking and the shock is evident on his face. This is ridiculous. Cassius said Maddie was his link and he found her. Beau is mine, I should be able to find him.
"Look out the door," I suggest.
Maybe there is sothing that can lead
to him. A sign, trace of where he is. He obeys and stops in front of the door with his hands on the tal rods. I look out through his eyes and there is a hallway. It is dark and scary looking. I see a man on a stool with his eyes close. The sounds of his heavy snores suddenly beco louder. There is nothing except the man on the stool. This is pointless.
Shit.
Sothing brings
out of my pull with Beau and I frown as I hear the knock on the glass window of my car. My first reaction to whoever just interrupted
is anger. It was hard to get to Beau and now he is out of my head thanks to soone.
Brown eyes are all I see.
I know him.
I have seen him before.
What is he doing here?
