The Werewolf's Vampire Mate
Chapter 69: Progress.

Chapter 69: Progress.

Alanis.

Eligio closes the door to his room and I walk over to the bed, taking a seat on it. Rex sits down on the chair by his bedside table. He is not needed here but I wanted to leave Darrien alone with Jabi. I see something in his eyes every time he looks at the kid.

It is the same look I give Beau and if I have to be a matchmaker, then that is what I will do. I know he wanted that alone time and he can thank me later. Now all my focus is on Beau and finding him.

Eligio walks over to me and stops in front of me "This is the same process as last time. I want to get inside your head. See what you see, just let me touch you."

That is all he needs to invade my privacy. That is exactly what he is doing, crawling into my mind and seeing the things that should remain private. I don’t want to stop him because I need him and this power right now. If he can get into my head, then we can steal Beau’s memories. As long as we do this, we can find him.

"I’m going to start now." he places both hand on the temples on my face. His touch is soft, but his hands are cold. I close my eyes as I get weaker to his gift. His hands stay placed on my face and I wait. Wait for something to happen. Usually when he does this, I see whatever he is seeing.

"Think of him. What did you think of the last time you saw him?" he asks me, still holding me.

"I don’t know, I just saw his face in my head." I answer.

"Do that," he advices.

So, like the time in my car, I close my eyes and picture the man I love. I picture his smile, I picture all the remarkable features that I love so much about him and slowly he starts to show up in my head but unlike the last time, he is not alone. Cassius is with him, Beau is on his knees, he seems to be unconscious with Cassius looming over his head.

"What is he doing?" I can’t help but ask Eligio because I know he can see what I am seeing.

I literally just gave him my eyes.

"It seems like he is showing him something. I am trying to find a way into the memory."

I don’t know what he means but I wait. Cassius doesn’t speak, Beau doenst move. Slowly it feels like I am being transferred somewhere. It is a house, it is dark. I am in no control of where I go or what I see, all I see is the darkness.

"Where are we?" I ask El.

He sighs "I need you to be quiet." he warns me.

I oblige and wait, for whatever it is we are meant to see. Suddenly the room becomes brighter, so bright that all I see is red blood everywhere. There is blood on the walls, blood trails on the floor. This is the most gruesome sight I have ever seen and trust me I have seen a lot of shit in my life. I want to look away but no matter where I turn, the blood is everywhere. There are no bodies, I mean this is a murder scene but where are the bodies. Slowly the room shifts and I see a pile, a pile of people near a lit fire.

A man walks into the room, a very muscular man. He is dressed in only cotton shorts. No shirt, or shoes. He looks around until someone else comes beside him "Get them into the fire." he addresses the other person.

This person is clothed.

I have never seen this people before; I don’t know what the hell is happening. Why am I being forced to watch this?

What does this have to do with Beau and finding him?

’’Yes sir,’’ the other guy answers.

I watch him carry the man first and dump his body into the burning fire. His skin melts slowly. This shit is inhumane. This people were obviously murdered in cold blood by whoever these guys are and there is no remorse on their faces.

The toss all the bodies into the fire ’’One of them is missing,’’ the shirtless man points out.

’’I think he escaped. No one has been able to find him.’’

’’We can’t let him escape, you need to find him,’’ the man shouts so loud that it gives me whiplash. There is anger in his tone, anger in his eyes. This is just him telling the other man that they need to finish the last survivor. They want to kill whoever it is.

’’Yes sire,’’ he walks out of the room probably in search of the last person. The room starts to spin again and it looks like it is in rewind. Their bodies are out of the fire, this is before their deaths. We are in a room, it is dark. There are two beds with two figures sleeping soundly. I walk over to the bed and I see them closer. I recognise one of them, it is Cassius. He looks different in his sleep. He looks younger, happier.

A sound comes from outside and the other man jolts up with his eyes wide open. Cassius is still sleeping. The other boy runs over to the other bed and nudges him ’’Roger, wake up,’’ he whispers.

Roger?

So, his name is not even Cassius.

Who is this man?

Slowly Cassius opens his eyes groggily. His hair is matted over the pillow and confusion etches on his face ’’Gyles, what is wrong?’’ he questions.

Gyles pulls him off the bed gently ’’Someone is in the house, I need you to go out through the window, until I am sure everything is okay.’’

So, from what I can gather, this is Cassius memory and we are feeding them off from Beau. Somehow, I am no longer in Beaus’ head. I am in Cassius’s head and this is a painful memory. I can feel it, almost like his emotions are being shared with the memory.

’’I won’t go without you,’’ he cries trembling feverously.

The other man grabs him by both shoulders, he looks at him directly with a serious expression plastered on his face. Cassius seems to be the weak one in the pair, even though he is bigger in built. ’’You need to listen to me; your protection is my priority. I have to keep you safe.’’

Cassius shakes his head; he parts his lips but is interrupted by a loud crash from outside. I hear the cries of a woman. ’’I need you to leave, I need you to leave right now.’’ Gyles grabs him by his arm and pulls him to the window. The sound of footsteps come closer.

’’What if I never see you again,’’ Cassius cries.

Gyles smiles sadly ’’I will always be right here,’’ he places his palm on his chest. Cassius closes his eyes. Tears fight their way out of them and he tries to stop them from falling ’’Look at me,’’ Gyles urges.

Cassius opens his eyes ’’The years we have spent together has been the best years of my life. I will forever treasure my time with you. No matter what,’’ he leans forward and plants a kiss on his lips. The kiss is rough, it seems like they both know this will be the last kiss they share together. There is a certain desperation as their lips press together.

I want to say I don’t care about this, but this is the most heart-breaking sight ever.

’’Go with me,’’ Cassius pleads.

He shakes his head ’’I swore an oath, I have to make sure they are safe. I am bound for life.’’

I don’t understand what he means but I know he is walking to his death. He is walking into a losing battle and they both know it. ’’Go now, keep running, and don’t stop until you are far away from here, just like I taught you.’’

He gives him one last smile. Cassius climbs out of the window under the night sky and I follow him until he is out of the house and in the woods, running for his life. He runs until he cannot run anymore, he runs until he is far away from the house. Far away from the screams, he knows what is going to happen. We all know.

Without any notice, the memory is cut and I am looking at beau bit this time he is awake. With a dazed expression on his face. He is seated on the floor, still the same way he was when I left him.

’’That’s all for today,’’ Cassius informs him with a drag.

Beau shakes his head ’’This doesn’t change anything,’’ I don’t know what they are talking about but my Link is shaking. Whatever he just saw is affecting him a lot more than it did me.

’’I actually don’t expect it to, I just need you to see things from my eyes. Understand why i chose this path.’’

Beau stands up, he uses all his strength to get him off the floor. He is losing weight. In just two weeks he has lots so much weight. He needs meat and it doesn’t seem like he is getting any here.

’’You don’t have to do this. I know how it feels to lose someone you love. You don’t have to be this evil to avenge Gyles.’’

Cassius frowns ’’Don’t ever say his name,’’ he warns him and walks out of the room. I expect to be in the room with Beau, since I am in his head but my eyes follow Cassius out.

’’We are in,’’ Eligio blurts and I remember that he is here with me.

Okay, we are in his head, I need to find something. Anything that can lead me to Beau.

’’Keep an eye on him,’’ Cassius tells the guard by the door. The man nods his head as we walk out the halls and up the stairs. we follow him through the halls until he is out of the house. There we see him show a little bit of weakness, with his hands on his knees he takes a deep breath.

’’They will never understand,’’ he breathes out to the sky. I look around because I don’t care about him. Thee house looks familiar. This is the same house from the memory. This is the house he had to run out of. With my eyes roaming, all I see the is the trees and grass. The house is in the middle of a forest.

’’There is nothing here El,’’ I call out my brother’s name.

I feel his breathing. It is soft, I know he is focused. He is not as impatient as I am. ’’Look over the fence,’’ he tells me.

I look at the direction he is talking about and I see what he saw. A billboard, it is almost hidden by the trees but I read the words out loud and a smile forms on my face.

I know where he is.
