Chapter 45: Panic and Pain

Emily

I woke up and could hear Tristan talking to someone in the living room. He sounded angry and frustrated. I got out of bed, walked towards the door, and peered out. He stood by the front door on a cellphone. I looked over to the nightstand on his side and saw his phone sitting there and then I looked back at him.

“No,” he said, almost shouting. “You’re a f*cking liar. No matter what happens, you’ll never disappear from my life. Giving you the spear won’t matter because you’ll still be out there terrorizing human civilization.”

There was a pause, and I could hear someone speaking on the other end and watched as Tristan shook with anger.

“F*ck you!” he said.

Then after another, quicker pause, Tristan let his hands drop and he gazed at the phone.
