"Of course ill You don’t even have to ask but one question: e feed thery in the next few hours and their only source of nourishlad we have someone with some type of motherly instinct to care for the babies because that wouldn’t have crossed my mind until they awakened ready to eat

Curry stands with his hands on his hips for a uess we don’t have a choice They’ll have to take formula"

"They’re half-vampire," Lairah says "What if that’s not what their bodies need?"

I see the tor to tend to the health of his babies and leaving theo after their mother This is where I coh this crisis "The best thing for the babies is to find Chansey and bring her hoht to come out and examine them She’s their physician Let her make the call on what kind of nourish Chansey back"

"You’re right," he says "Getting Chansey hoht have with nutrition so that’s what I must concentrate on"

Anna Grace frets in her sleep and Gia places her hand against her back She rubs it in a circular motion to sooth her "Don’t worry Lairah and I will take wonderful care of your babies and Dr Knight will figure out what to feed the pat on the shoulder "Your kids will be fine Leave theether"

My best friend reaches out and places his finger inside Jaer in his sleep and sighs "I’ your mother home to you, son I swear I will"

He pulls his finger gently frorasp and walks toward the door "And after I getto kill him"

I don’t think so "Only one problem with that plan, my friend You’ll have to beat me to it"

The five of us–Curry, Sebastian, Sully, Thatcher, andto say I know the two of you aren’t going to like it but I think we should stake Vincent’s place out before we strike We need to knoe’re going up against"

Curry and I reply at the saápes staying a ht," Thatcher says "It’s the wisest thing to do And the safest for your et the into"

I’m sure my brother’s attitude would be much different if he was in my shoes "Your beloved is here with you–safe and sound Talk to me about patience when a lunatic like Vincent comes in and takes Gia fro his affection for her "I suppose I wouldn’t be patient about getting her back but I’d like to think I’d have the good sense toree with Thatcher "We understand your anxiousness but you can’t save Avery and Chansey if you’re dead"

"No one is going in and getting killed tonight," Curry tells his brother "I don’t think they’ve figured out we have the advantage of walking in daylight so they won’t be expecting it I think a little past dawn is the best tiht, Vincent and whoever is with hi a blood jewel in their possession again We’ll go in and take Chansey and Avery while Vincent and his coven are passed out for the day"

He’s basing his plan on my ability to day walk and I haven’t had tiápe "I haven’t been in sunlight yet"

"You haven’t slept during the day in months Trust me You’re a day walker even if you haven’t confiruess ould find out in the ht after the sun comes up?"

"Hell, yeah!" He pounds his fist into his open paler than I have to You with me?"

"All the way"

Chapter Eleven

Curry and I are sitting in a parked car on the side of the road waiting for the sun to make its appearance We’re armed ooden stakes but it’s my bare hands I plan to use when I kill Vincent I haveto be the one to do the honors I want that monster to pay for all the ways he has hurther parents Draining her al her blood out so anyone addicted to it is a threat to her safety The list goes on and on But I couldn’t be sorry for the way things have played out In a way, Vincent has played a part in bringing ether

I need to think about sos Vincent has done or I won’t be able to sit here and patiently wait for the sun to rise "I spoke with Avery about the potential pregnancy She was happy about the possibility"
