All Chapters of Leesa's Advent: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Shortly before ten o’clock, Leesa left Cali’s room and headed back upstairs. Dominic was coming by at ten and they were going on another road trip. The timing was perfect—she would have plenty of time to talk to him about her vision during the drive.The weather had been unusually warm recently, but today’s forecast called for increasing clouds and colder temperatures arriving later in the day. Leesa donned a red Weston sweatshirt—all she thought she would need for the drive and maybe even outside during midday. She grabbed her parka for later when the temperature dropped and headed out the door. She didn’t know how late they would be gone and it was certain to be cold when the sun began to set.The elevator chimed as she was closing her door. Sandee, one of her neighbors from the far end of the hall stepped out and greeted her with a smile and a hello. Leesa returned the greeting and limped into the elevator. More often than not she

They crisscrossed the countryside north of Middletown and Meriden, moving at vampire speed when they knew they would be invisible to human eyes and slowing when traversing more populated areas. By midnight they had covered many square miles, with nothing to show for it so far. Stefan almost hoped the visiting vampires would feed one more time so he would be able to sense their location from a distance. Still, he was not worried. Vampires were a patient species, for what did time matter to those who had eternity? If they did not find their quarry tonight, they would simply resume their hunt again tomorrow night. Eventually, the new vampires would feed, and he would find them.Finally, in an area of woods filled with thick, bare trees, Stefan detected the faint trace of vampire presence. He motioned his companions to a halt. They each raised their chins, listening and sniffing the air.“I sense it as well,” Genevieve said, “but it feels wrong some-how.&

She limped over to her mini fridge and pulled out a can of Red Bull, the other item she had apparently moved back before she even knew what was happening. Taking it to her desk, she balanced it on the edge, half on and half off.When she tried to move it, nothing happened. She tried again, focusing as hard as she could, but the can stubbornly remained in place. Dejected, she picked up the can and moved it away from the edge. While she pondered what was wrong, she didn’t want it falling of its own accord and giving her the visual she was trying to avoid.Two possibilities came to her. First, unlike the basket, which she had clearly seen flying across the room a few months before, she had never actually seen the can move. She thought she might have somehow caused it to move a few inches one night when she was studying for midterms, but she had never been sure. Indeed, until she met Dominic, she had never been absolutely sure she had moved the basket without actuall

Stefan kissed her hand one more time and then spun around and left the room.Cali stared down at the back of her hand as Stefan disappeared out the door. Kissed by a vampire two more times, she thought. She didn’t know if the Peas were right about how good her night was going to be, but it had certainly turned into one damn fine afternoon. She sat down at her desk and began writing the note. Maybe she’d get to hear about some more cool stuff once Leesa talked to Stefan.Leesa saw the folded yellow note taped to her door as soon as she stepped out the elevator. She pulled it off the door before inserting her key into the lock but didn’t open it until she was inside her room.Stefan stopped by this afternoon. Said he needs to talk to you (and Rave!). Very important. He said he’d be back and hopes you’ll wait in your room for him. P.S. He kissed my hand TWO MORE times!Leesa rolled her eyeballs. Cali really was incorrigible.

Rave arrived at Leesa’s room shortly before eleven o’clock. Leesa had decided she would give him until midnight, so she was wide awake and fully dressed when he walked in through her open door. She bounded up from her desk and gave him a big hug.“You made it,” she said happily. “I’m so glad you got my message.”“I told you Max would come in handy one of these days,” Rave said.“I think it was plenty handy I could use him to tell you I love you,” Leesa said. She stepped back from his embrace. “But this is even better.”“I’m glad you added it wasn’t urgent.” Rave took Leesa’s hands in his and kissed the top of her head. “Otherwise, I would have been worried. So, what is it? I’m more than just a little curious.”Leesa sat down on her bed and pulled Rave down next to her. “It’s a little bit strange and a little bit
