Chapter 40: Vampire Magnet

I can't believe we're leaving Jacques behind and outnumbered. My heart feels like its ripping from my chest. If I have magic, like everyone at the Academy and even Gwen here thinks, then I have to be able to do something. Save him.

"Stop." I jerk against her hold.

"Oh no you don't." She tightens her grip. "No more side missions for you to call more ghost lovers. We are getting out of here now."

"But we can't leave him. We're witches, there has to be something we can do to help."

"Save that for the portal." She huffs. "We still have to get through more vamps I'm sure. You seem to attract them like an open vein."

"Thanks." I glare at her. "But what about Jacques?"

She shrugs a shoulder. "He's a vamp ghost. Either he will take care of himself or not. Really wouldn't worry about him when it's our asses on the line. He's already died twice before."

"You know you really are a freaking bitch."

Something flashes behind her eyes, but it's so fast, I can't tell what emotion it is.
