Chapter 72

Isabella's POV

Andreas brought me to his cottage in the woods and carefully placed me on his bed. With a concerned expression, he tenderly brushed my hair from my face and then examined my injury.

I kept looking into his eyes, searching them to see if it was really my Andreas. I could have sworn that it was him, but the way he kept averting my gaze made me uncertain. His eyes were darker now so I believed that the vampire had taken over again. When did that happen?

"You're healing fine" He said reassuringly but without a smile. "The wound would have closed up by evening."

I nodded in silence, my certainty growing that it was the vampire doing the talking. His gaze eventually landed on my face, which left me feeling slightly uneasy. I was unsure of how to interact with him. While he was technically Andreas, I knew it was a far more complex situation.
