Chapter 52

While walking to the bathroom, she realized that she had known they were there before she smelled the vampire. She had felt Paul getting closer somehow. Did he also feel her? He hadn't looked around, at least Kathrine hadn't seen him do it, maybe it was just her.

Once in the bathroom, Hailey sighed with relief as she leaned against the sink.

"I didn't think he would be here so soon." Hailey looked like she was sweating buckets. Maybe she was telling the truth about her brother. This reaction would be hard to fake.

"So, that is Elyon?" Kathrine asked.

"Yes, and he's not a vampire." Hailey looked worried, and for the first time in days, she looked Kathrine in the eyes. "He's Versi."

"Yes, I knew that," Kathrine said to herself as much as to Hailey.
