I walked along the stone path that led to the luxurious log cabin and knocked on the door. When Natalie opened it, a smile spread across her face as she handed me a glass of blood.
"I'm sure you're famished." The Italian girl always had a way of making me feel taken care of.
I looked at her gratefully as I took the glass and drank its contents in one go. I hadn't had a drop of blood in my system since I left hunter territory. I couldn't bear the thought of killing the humans I had happened to come across during my journey to Natalie's safe house. I was indeed famished.
Natalie welcomed me into the cabin and asked me to make myself comfortable as she poured another glass of blood for me. As I waited for her, I recalled the first time I was able to get in touch with her a couple of days back.
"Derek? What is going on? Where are you? Do you have any idea how many people are looking for you right now?"
