Despite knowing he’s slept beside me for years, I nod shyly.
He smiles. “Consider it done.”
I took off running. The sooner I get there the sooner I can lay wrapped in his arms, right?
Wrong.
Once we get to the room, Cash proceeds to build a wall between us of pillows. Like that’s gonna stop me from sprawling all over him come morning. But I make him happy by saying goodnight and now I lay there staring up at the ceiling while he snores away. I roll over, facing away from him and see my cellphone laying on the nightstand. Grabbing it, I look at the photos I took in the cave. The altar one in particular. For some reason it draws me in, and I think for a second that it’s trying to tell me something. Swiping to the next photo I enlarge it to see if I can spot any clues. There aren’t any. Exiting out of the photo gallery I open Google and upload the one with the train track looking chicken scratch, as I wasn’t entirely sure they weren’t Egyptian. They were not. Nothing came back.
It was in that moment that my sister decided to call. Not having told her where I was going or even that I left, she was likely having a conniption right about now. I slide out of the bed and head into the bathroom.
“Hello?”
“Oh, thank God! Where the hell have you been? I’ve been worried sick. If this baby comes out with grey hair, it’s all your fault just so you know!”
“I know Jessica! I’m so sorry. I’m in England,” I whisper.
“Why? Why would you be in England?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll explain when I get home. Is Roger still busy working on those scriptures that were found under the church?”
Roger is her husband and a Paleographer to boot. If you don’t know what that means, he studies historical documents and deciphers them. Exactly the kind of person we need to figure out what the hell Lilith’s book of spells is all about.
Chapter 15

––––––––
I T’S EXACTLY ONE DAY since Cassi and I went to the cave and one day before our wedding. We both are sitting in her room on pins and needles waiting to hear back from her sister’s husband. I no longer trust any member of the Watcher’s of the Night. Quite frankly, I never did. Despite Ivan and I being related by blood, I found him the most repulsive of all, from the way he treated women; and some, would stupidly fall for his charms. I don’t trust him, especially around Cassi and vampire or not, if he lays one finger on her head again, it will be the last time.
“Look at this.” I watch as she comes towards me with her phone then she hands it to me. “Does that not look like the writing from the first photo I took?”
I pull out my phone and open the photos she sent to me. Placing them on the table, I examine each one to the finest detail.
I slowly nod. “They do. What is it?”
