…Anastasia…
I watch as horror consumes Sebastian's face; I have seen him terrified, but this is terrified beyond compare. What could have him so spooked, just a few hours he had left to attend a Council meeting, and now has returned looking as if death is staring him in the face?
I take him by the hand away from Lilith that is sitting with Stefan.
"Sebastian, what is the matter?"
"We need to find Edward at once."
"What seems to be the problem?"
"I shall discuss it with you in the car."
With that, we excuse ourselves from the room and head out into the freeze of the night. It takes a few moments for him to compose himself to tell me what has us speeding down towards the alley where Edward goes to feed.
"There has been a series of deaths; there seems to be a group of humans that are infecting Vampires with poison. A poison so strong that it eats you up from the inside."
