Stefan’s Diaries: The Craving Chapter 26

What atomic number 18 you doing here? I demanded.Lexi raised a brow at me. same thing you are. Looking forward to a long, painful eternity together.No, I mean why didnt you run? I asked, resisting the urge to take her by the shoulders and shake her.Of course I ran, you idiot she snapped. But I theory he expected I would. I never til now axiom him come after me. I could feel her shiver in the dark. He appeared out of nowhere. Her voice grew grim. I wonder if thats how humans feel when they image us. If we ever get out of this, I swear I am going to be nicer to them in the future. Humans, I mean. That vampire now him I want to kill.I put my hand on her forearm, softening. I nevertheless pray we get that chance.Come, lets get out of here. She turned and swung her leg, putting the leaper of her boot smack into the middle of the doors.There was a resounding thud, yet nothing budged.She delivered another roundhouse kick to the doors. And another. And another.Again, nothing happen ed.Together she insisted. On the calculate of three we both kicked.Maybe theres vervain in the st mavin ? I suggested. Lexi looked grim. Vervain doesnt make things indestructible. But there are other things that bum be done to lock something up. Permanently. What about the walls?For the next hour we ran our fingers everyplace the white walls, ceilings, and floors, our highly sensitive skin picking out even the most minute gaps. We ripped open sarcophagi, ransacked the corpses for tools.No knives, no baseball diamond crosses, no silver-plate Bibles, no pennies for Charon, no lucky stone, no nothing, I growled, throwing my hands up in frustration.This doesnt look good, was all Lexi said.Twenty-four hours ulterior there was a service in the chapel. We could hear it with our Powers. It was a monument to the Sutherlands, to the two brides who were killed, to the proud parents along with a biting invective against the unsalted men who did it, running off with the dowry money. Murde rers, thugs, con men, robbersThe only cathexis that didnt make the list was demon.But none of the insults stopped us from screaming. ease I yelled. In here Were in hereLexi added her voice to mine, skreak in different high-pitched tones that nearly blew out my eardrums. At one point I could hear a hollow-voiced Hilda whisper, Do you hear something? And our hopes were raised.And and then nothing. The service ended, people filed out, and once again we were completely, utterly alone.With sigh, Lexi gave me my ring back. legion(predicate) thanks for its loan, she said quietly, slipping it on my finger. But I dont deliberate it will do me or you much good now.I hugged her tight. Dont pass away up yet, I whispered in her ear.But the words echoed hollowly in spite of appearance the crypt, having nowhere else to go.
