Chapter 78
They left Oren in the graveyard and drove to the nearest town. Loren dropped Jorick and Katelina off at a fast food place, and then disappeared to "pick something up at the store". Jorick only shook his head sadly and refused to comment, though Katelina suspected the boy had gone to see Oren.
"What do we do if he doesn't come back?" she asked around a mouth full of French fries.
Jorick turned the plastic salt shaker in his hand. "He'll return. He won't leave us stranded here."
"If you say so." She trusted Loren as much as she trusted the rest of the vampires; which was not at all.
Silence fell between them and she thought about bringing up the letters she'd found. She could claim that she'd been looking through the books and come across them accidentally. Though, she wasn't sure how to explain the fact that she'd read them. Accidentally finding a packet of letters was one thing; being able to quote from them was something else entirely.
