CHAPTER 71

  Kara

  I woke up restless. I sat up quickly in bed and turned on the light. I had always feared the dark, but my fear didn't stem from the darkness itself. It came from the sensation in the middle of my chest. My heart wouldn't stop racing. The dream left my mouth dry.

  I took the glass of water Scott left by the bedside. I heard a phone ringing. It wasn't mine; my phone died in the accident. The phone was Scott's. He let it ring and didn't answer. I knew it was Stefan calling. He was still looking for me and wouldn't stop until he found me.

  I recalled the dream. The sensation I had was the same as with Derek. I knew Stefan was in danger. But not just him. Me too. The dream I had was premonitory. Every time Sara interfered in my life to take power from Stefan. She claimed to love him, but she was betraying him.
