Excerpt
Then the long-anticipated and dreaded appearance of Stefan’s face, as he bent over from on top of the carriage and displayed his grotesquely twisted face of anger in the window of the carriage, bearing his long incisor’s as he hissed at us with rage.
We exited the carriage as we turned to witness Stefan attacking the coachman as he cried out for help. We made our escape by air, arriving at our apartments in mere seconds, with no trace of Stefan; luckily for us—he had become distracted by taking the life of the coachman, which provided our opportunity to escape.
Entering inside, I could tell that Fabien was as visibly shaken by this incident, as was I.
“He is coming for me— I feel it in the depths of my soul!” Fabien said, his eyes wide with terror.
“Fabien, if he wanted to attack us, — why would he have stayed behind feasting on the coachman?” I asked.
“Stefan is ruthless, to him— it’s all a game, he enjoys instilling terror—he will stop at nothing until he has destroyed me, avenging himself for my disobeying his command to never make another vampire.”
“I will protect you Fabien,” I said, trying desperately to comfort him with no success— as Fabien walked over to the window. The weather had once again turned violent— as the sound of thunder echoed in the distance, becoming louder and louder as the lightning lit up the sky.
“This cannot be!” Fabien shouted after another flash of lightning. “My God “It’s him! — It’s Stefan, he has followed us here! Quick, you must hide! —he must not find you here!”
Instantly, Stefan was seen hovering outside our window.
