Chapter 35: Broken Vow

"Let me get you something to drink." Angelic leaves the bedroom.

I don't know if I will be able to keep anything down after everything I've learned. Jacques hovers near a window, but doesn't rush to my side, giving me room to process everything. It's still dark outside though I have no idea what time it is.

The bedroom is small but neat with a double bed and the blanket Angelic gave me. Two nightstands with a lamp and a few books and magazines. A dresser and chest lined up against the wall.

"How did you die?" I ask Jacques. "I mean I know it has to be a stake through the heart."

"And the sun." He smiles.

I see his fangs, now that we are in the light from the room, my heart starts hammering in my chest. My head bumps into the headboard when I move away.

His expression saddens and deep inside me, I long to apologize.

Instead, I continue asking him questions. "H-How did you become a vampire? Who killed you?"
