What deal is she talking about? I wondered. Seb glanced over at me but his eyes looked sad. What's bothering him? I hope he's not being all moody again. Seb took a huge gulp of that drink
"How are you feeling?" Helia asked slowly. Seb looked okay but then everything changed. His face paled and the cup slipped from his grasp. A look of pain crossed his face as he clutched his chest. I zipped over to him as fast as I could. He started to fall down but I caught him
"What wrong with him?!" I screamed. Jace came up on the other side of Seb as we laid him on the kitchen floor. He began to shake and a sheen of sweat coated his face. Helia was going through the fridge mixing some other ingredients together.
"Grandmother what did you do?" Jace questioned
"I only gave him a little wolfsbane. I had to test a theory?" She replied taking a leaf stem to stir the milky looking drink.
Wolfsbane? I thought. Isn't that a plant or something why would that cause him to react like this? I placed my hand on his chest to soothe him and was shocked by what I felt
"Is his chest rumbling?" I asked confused but then I listened closer "He's growling? Why is he growling?!" I yelled getting more scared for his health.
Seb snapped opened his eyes. Staring at me was glowing yellow eyes. I was so startled I jumped back along with Jace. Helia shuffled in between us and poured the white drink down his throat.
"There. He will be fine now" She said standing back up. I glanced cautiously back to Seb. He was no longer shaking and I couldn't hear the growls anymore. His eyes had also returned to normal color. What the heck just happened?
"What did you do?!" I accused Helia again. She just regarded me coolly
"I simply tested a theory. One young Sebastian passed with flying colors" Helia said proudly
"What theory? And why were his eyes glowing like that?" I demanded to know. Helia gave me a once over before turning her back to me.
"Jace dear I think it's time for you kids to leave. It's getting late" Helia said not turning back around.
Well I'll be damned if I let her brush me off like that. She will tell me what she gave Seb and why he reacted that way. I took a step in her direction but Jace stopped me
"Ana don't, she's done talking you won't get anything from her when she's like this" Jace told me. I narrowed my eyes at Helia's back. How dare she shut me out like this?
"He's right. Let's just go" Seb said slowly getting up from the floor. I go over to help him but he pushes me away. I was a little hurt he wouldn't let me help but I tried to hide it.
"I'll be back Helia" I said to the old woman. She never replied but I knew she heard me. I also knew she understood I meant what I said. Helia will tell what she did to Seb. Nobody hurts Seb and gets away with it. Not even the crone of witches
****************
A few minutes later the three of us were back in the truck on our way to my crappy motel. This night hasn't gone even close to how I imagined it would.
I found out my fake mother's story was true, my real mother died a thousand years ago to protect me. The man she died to protect me from is coming back to kill me, unless I kill his descendants before they give him blood and awaken him. Oh and his descendants are the king, prince and princess of vampires. So they are powerful, well protected and greatly feared.
