Chapter 588: The search for the graveyard

Rex

"Her grave?’’ I ask Darrien.

He nods his head immediately. I was present through the whole conversation and I saw it all but there are still so many questions that I have that seem unanswered to me.

Who was that girl?

How does Darrien know her?

It seems to me like there was something between them, I just can’t pinpoint what it is. They have a history that I am sure Jabi doesn’t know about. The fact that he brought her with me here just shows me that he has nothing to hide. I see Darrien and he is trying it help us. That says a lot for the kind of person I have known him to be.

"Yes, we need to find it. Her real body is there, the one that she is protecting. It makes so much sense and so little sense at the same time to me."

"Where are we going to find it?’’ I ask him.

He shrugs but I watch him as he laces up his boots and walks over to the door "There has to be a graveyard here. We need to find her grave and then we need to kill her. I don’t know how we are going to do this but I know that once we do, it will all be over and we can all go home."

He makes it sound so easy and the determination in his voice is intriguing. I wish I was like him sometimes. Darrien is the definition of brave. I have never sensed fear in him. He always goes into things with his head first. We walk out of the shed and the cold air hits me instantly.

The sky is dark. I have never been one to be afraid of the dark but the sounds of nature make me terrified. I am a fucking wolf and I am scared of nature. Does it even make sense?

You need to get a grip on yourself.

My wolf pushes me. I can sense the frustration inside me. It is one thing to be frustrated about everything that is happening but it is another to be frustrated with yourself. I am tired of being afraid. I am tired of being a coward.

I take a deep breath as Darrien walks further into the woods without even batting an eye. I follow him immediately "So where do you think it could be?’’ he asks me.

I look ahead of me as we walk, unsure of how to answer him. I don’t know anything about this coven but I know that it will be close to the main house. Blue and Analise’s property. We have to go back to the main estate.

"We should check by the house. There is a field behind it. I saw it once from Blue’s room. It might be there."

He agrees with me instantly and we turn to the other direction. I know the way out of the woods. I am good with directions, so I lead him until we see clear trees and the streets. "So you lead the way as I have no clue where we are,’’ he smiles and I return his smile.

Once we get to the house, I lead him to the backyard, the way that we used to enter the house through the kitchen. There is a high fence on the opposite side of the house. It seems like the other side of the fence might just be what we are looking for.

This is not what I signed up for.

I am now in search of a grave.

If you had told me that I would be grave digging by coming to the coven, I don’t know if I would have agreed to come here. Maybe I would have done a little bit of convincing. I was solely in support of Gyles coming back here. I wanted him to because I knew that he would never be fully free if he didn’t set those ghosts free. I didn’t want him to be hunted for the rest of his life but now it seems like the memories of this place are all going to haunt me for the rest of my life.

"You didn’t ask any questions about Amber,’’ Darrien speaks up suddenly. I turn to him immediately and his eyes are on me.

I know what this is. He is feeling guilty.

He doesn’t want me to get the wrong idea. I can understand why he would want me to know, he would want to explain, so I don’t go and tell Jabi anything. I am not going to tell Jabi anything because from what I have seen. I don’t think he has done anything wrong.

"Is there anything you think I should know?" I ask him.

He chuckles just as we stop in front of the fence. I look around for an opening, something that could lead us to the other side.

"She is my ex.’’

I already knew that.

"Okay.’’

He turns back to the fence and I watch him as he finds an opening. He pushes it open and we both peer in. I see a field of grass, one so vast. It will take us a while to find what we are looking for. The land is empty, the night is dark.

"She’s a witch, we had this thrilling relationship years ago. Before Jabi, before any of this." He explains. I don’t need all this information but I like that he trusts me enough to talk about this with me—maybe I am just the only one here.

"We should look for the cemetery, see that over there,’’ he points to a gate in a far end of the field. "I am sure that is what we are looking for,’’ he pushes the plank open completely and I follow him as he goes through it.

"I might be opening Pandora’s Box with involving Amber yet again, but I hope not. I hope this doesn’t become the one thing that I am avoiding."

"What is that?’’ I ask him curiously.

He takes a deep breath as we walk over the grass and to the direction of the gates "Her anger. No one can handle an angry Amber. I never could.’’
