CHAPTER 73

  Elena's POV

  Barbara rested a hand on her chest and began staring at us in shock. I guess the myth of the vampire was finally convincing enough to her. How I would kill to know what was running through her head.

  "Calm yourself, Amanda." I tried to compel her since I sired her but she broke out of it since she was on vervain.

  "Fuck you!" She threw several punches at me till I coughed and bled blood. My monster from within was begging to be unleashed and eventually, I caved in in anger and yanked her head back, punching her in the jaw. I could hear the shattering of her teeth for a while and the trail of blood from the side of her mouth confirmed it. She headbutted me and sent me slamming into the wall next to the kitchen. I stood up and jumped up the stairs in a swift motion.

  "Are you going to throw the next punch?" I snarled at her with my fangs protruding out of my mouth.
