Millwood Academy - First Term by Dawson, Tanya (find a book to read .txt) 📗

“Who are they?” Clark asks, keeping his hand on me as if to claim me from them.

Arthur shrugs, “More people that know her secret now.”

“We need to get her back to our den.” Finley moves forward to grab my arm, but Clark stands in his way.

“No, she’s not going anywhere near vampire blood again.” Clark's fists tighten, and the seams on his jacket look like they might pop, having turned partially within seconds.

“We are all on the same side.” Ivor steps forward now and gives Finley a soft tap on his shoulder as a signal to back off. “You’re welcome to come, Clark.”

Clark’s body loosens. He rubs his chin, unsure of what to do.

“We will all go to the den,” I say, and Clark shoots me a look as if I am crazy. “At least for tonight so I can recover from this.”

“Agreed,” Ivor says as he looks to Clark for his approval.

“Agreed,” Clark says, then checks my bag of blood.

My own bag of blood is empty, and the vampire blood is full again. He gently pulls both needles out and places a bandage over each. “I can’t protect you there.”

“You’re sick.” I reach up and run the back of my fingers on his face, “What’s wrong?”

Clark pulls back from my touch as if I had stung him. “Can you get up?”

I swing my feet over the side of the table, and he uses his body to hold me as I move my feet to the ground.

“Thank you.” I keep my arm around his neck, as I’m not quite strong enough to walk on my own – or at least I pretend.

“I’m well enough to protect you. That’s all you need to know for now.” He turns me away from the Stanton boys, so our backs are to them. He leans in, and his lips touch mine for a soft, sweet kiss. There’s something pure and innocent about the kiss, so unlike our romp.

“Let’s go,” Ivor calls out, his voice angrier than he had hoped to show.

As we leave the room, I feel the envelope in my back pocket grow warm – and I know I’ve finally received my mission.
