Seeing Abi's expectant look, Alicia could only look down.
"I'm sorry, Abigail. The crystal ball doesn't work that way on vampires," she told her, causing Abi to frown with confusion. "Vampires cannot see anything in the crystal balls."
"B-but I could look into it and see things and I'm not a witch."
"Humans seem to be able to see in them, Abigail, but vampires can't."
Her statement made Abi's heart sink. She thought she had finally figured out a way to bring Alex's memories back only to be disappointed. It seemed she had no choice but to tell him the truth. But will it even trigger anything? She didn't know but she would at least try and hope for the best.
Before Abi could turn to look at Alex, he was already behind her. He held her hips and pulled her closer towards him.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at her. "What did you mean by that, huh, Abigail? What do you want me to remember?" he asked, eyes intense and prying.
