Chapter nine
Sarah's POV
I wonder how long I'll keep having the nightmare for. It's already tiring me out as it is.
It's putting more stress on me and I don't need that.
It's the same dream over and over again.
When I woke up panting, Blade, Sabe and Kathrine surrounded me.
"What the hell? Are you okay?" Kathrine asks me.
"Yeah, just a nightmare. No need to worry about it."
Blade stared at me awkwardly, Sabe looked concerned and Kathrine seems worried.
"Really guys, I'm fine."
"Well you don't seem like it. You were talking in your sleep then woke up feeling where you were stabbed," Blade replies.
"What was I saying?"
"We don't know, you were mumbling," Sabe replies. They knew something was up but wouldn't tell me. I know Sabe. I can tell when he's lying or not.
I nod and sigh. "Well I'm going back to sleep."
I curl into the blankets. "Alright, night."
"Night," I hear three voices say in unison.
I tried going back sleep when in reality I knew I couldn't. The nightmare replayed in my mind.

When I woke up, Kathrine laid on the bed watching tv.
I'm surprised I feel asleep when I couldn't remember when I did.
"Morning sleeping beauty."
"Morning," my voice came out rusty from the dryness in my mouth. I sit up to stretch.
"Where's Sabe?"
"Out with the others."
"Oh shit, I forgot."
Kathrine chuckles. "Don't worry it's still a bit early."
I skittle out of bed picking up my things and running to the bathroom. "Sarah it's fine. You're not late. The people here are in church right now so you still have time."
"Still."
Tiring my hair in a ponytail, I walk out packing my things up.
"You go an fill pack."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm a fast packer and I've already packed my things. So go!"
I ran out of the room into the hallway, booking it outside. Dean jumps from the back of the truck with notebooks and pens.
"Morning Harper."
"Morning Kon. Where's everyone?"
"The three vamps went out of the area to drink their blood. They're just outside these walls. Will is in our room packing up."
"So I'm not late, then."
"No. Didn't Kathrine tell you?"
"Yeah, but I thought she was only saying that to calm me down."
He shook his head handing me a notebook and a pen. "I'll tell you the instructions when the others come."
As if on cue, Kathrine comes out with two bags.
"I told her but she's so stubborn sometimes."
"No wonder you didn't want me to kill your vamp friends."
Setting the notebook and pen down, I took the bags from Kathrine and place them in the shelves. The three vamps finally come back with empty bottles. Will finally came out with his bag.
His was the last one.
"Alright, glad everyone is here." I sit in the truck, Blade stands beside me on my right and Keir on my left. Sabe and Kathrine stood across from me while Will stood by Dean.
"When they are finished with church, then the pope will show us the body. I will examine the body while the rest of you integrate the people."
Blade raises his hand slightly. "We've never done this before, so what type of questions do you want us to ask?"
"You know, 'where were you at this time,' or can you tell me anything,' or 'did you see anything?' Those types of questions."
He nodded.
I inhale a scent that I'm familiar with. Cologne. Will and Dean are farthest from me so it wasn't them. I then realize it's a ties between Blade and Keir. Blade's the closest so it probably then.
When Dean finished his little speech, small talk broke out. I nudge Blade in the leg and he glances at me, concerned. I tug his sleeve down signalling to crouch.
"Are you wearing cologne?" I whisper into his ear. He turn his face, inches from mine, then leaned down to whisper in my ear.
"I always have."
His hot breath sent goosebumps on my skin. I shiver from the close contact. He smirked at his achievement.
"Yo, stop flirting you two," Keir interrupted.
"We're not," we say in unison.
"Uh huh, sure," Sabe replies. I glare at him. The people poured out of the church as we waited.
The pope trailed out after everyone piled out and started milling about.
He came up to us. "Come with me to see the body."
Dean followed and that was our cue to get information.
We split different ways. I wake up to a couple with a newborn in their arms.
"Hey, excuse me," I politely get their attention. They turn my way and smile. "Hey, so I would like to ask you a few questions. Is that okay?"
"Yes," the male replied.
"Where were you on the night of the murder?"
"My wife and I were in our rooms taking care of our son. Neither one of us left the room until we heard a scream."
I wrote down what he said. "Mind if I get your names?"
He told me their names and I wrote them down. I continue asking questions and the answered I received didn't seem suspicious at all.
Several hours later, we've got some sort of information. When Dean told us about the body, it's just like the murder.
While we were investigating these guys, Dean received a call from Mohawk New York.
"Alright. We'll be eating breakfast in the next town. Then we will be heading to Mohawk. Luckily it's a town."
We thanked the Pope before getting into the truck. Dean drove out of the little hamlet while we sat dont he back comparing what we have.
"None of the confessions I got seemed suspicious," Blade replies.
"Same," I say.
"I did get one thing. This person said he has blonde hair. He couldn't see very well since it's hood was pulled over. He hid before running for his life," Keir replies. I write it down the circle it.
"That's great great Keir. We need that," Dean replies.
"How long until the next town?" Will asks.
"Fifteen minutes."
-
We enter a diner and take a window seat. I sit by the window with Kathrine beside me and Sabe across from me. Blade sits beside him and Will beside Kathrine. Keir sits beside Bade and Dean at the head of the table.
The three of us mortal took a look at the menu. Our waitress, young as early to mid twenties, curly light brunette hair, average height with a white blouse, black pants and a green apron.
We ordered the she left.
"Alright, so I'm mapping out when we'll get there. It will be the same as Jordanville. I talked to one of the cops whom called me. They say it's a mysterious murder and this person is heading north to Canada, I assume."
We nodded.
"Once we finish we'll be on the road immediately. We'll catch him and he will pay for the lives of innocent souls."
