In a split second, a month and a half had flown by since Lauren's startling revelations to Vicente's team.
The rest of the group had learned the things she knew about vampires and the leaders of the Congregation of Revelations, with Layla obviously feeling outraged, doubting Lauren.
Layla was more determined than ever to seek the truth and show her companions that her old religion wasn't as dirty as they thought. She wouldn't be part of the Congregation of Revelations in the future because of her relationship with Vicente, but she still wanted to clean up the image of her faith in front of her group.
The others were skeptical about Lauren's words. However, even though she had reasons to turn them against the Congregation of Revelations, they couldn't help but believe her after everything that had happened.
Like it or not, Lauren's words matched the reality they all knew!
