As I watched Derek speed away, my heart ached with disappointment. I wanted to hit myself over the head for being so stupid. We were at war. We could lose our lives any time and I was standing in the middle of that bedroom, feeling sorry for myself over missing a date with Derek.
"Sofia." Gavin laid a hand over my shoulder. "Ian, Kyle and I are trying to round up humans from The Catacombs – anyone willing to assist the vampires in defending The Shade. Are you coming with us?"
I was about to nod, but then I caught sight of Vivienne, Derek's twin sister, standing by my door, leaning on my doorpost. I was surprised to see her at a time like this.
Gavin shifted his eyes from me to Vivienne and then back. "I guess that's a no…" he said, before rushing out of the room.
