All Chapters of Reapers: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“Get your filthy hands off her,” Sam growled from somewhere to the right of me. Hunter was thrown off me to somewhere on the other side of my room.“He’s a Delazar,” Sam swore, closing the distance between himself and Hunter.“I told you this wasn’t a good idea.” Mrs. Cannon ran into the room, “With all the commotion lately with the Delazar’s they need a bodyguard, Sam.”“What are you doing in my house?” Sam watched Hunter with a deathly glare as if one wrong move and he would break his neck.“Sam.” I ran across the room to try and put myself between him and Hunter, but he wouldn’t let me, he wrapped one arm around my waist and angled himself between me and Hunter, “What are you doing? Let him go! He was not hurting me!”“He had you engulfed in flames, Jamie.” Sam held firm to his position.“Where’s Callie?” I looked around, but she was nowhere to be seen.”“I had Leah deal with her for now.” Mrs. Cannon shrugged in the doorway, she appeared to have just gotten off a phone call and

We reached the dining hall about fifteen minutes later. It was empty except for a few people behind the bar putting fresh food out. It reminded me of the lunch setup we had at my school.“Help yourselves to food,” Sam told us, pointing at the bar, “I will go find you your rooms.”“We can share a room.” Callie shrugged, “would that help your search?”“You don’t mind sharing?” This is the most relieved I have seen Sam since before he left the apartment the first time. I shook my head, and he ran off. I felt relieved to hear Cal say she wants to share a room. I would feel a whole lot more comfortable together than splitting up.“Let’s dig in.” Callie was already wandering over to get plates, “I’m starving.”“Me too.” I didn’t notice how true that was until I smelled it. Fresh pancakes stacked high, unlimited bacon, sausage, hash browns, and eggs beside that, some oatmeal, and weird-looking porridge stuff I couldn’t figure out what it was.“Haven’t you ever seen grits, my dear?” A sweet-l

I didn’t see Callie until I woke up the next morning, she was still sleeping. I rolled over onto my back and stared at the ceiling for a while. I thought about Hunter I wanted to see him again. Every time I tried to think of something else, I saw his image pop into my head, and it brought me right back around to thinking of him. He had gone through so much to just get medicine for his brother, why didn’t Sam just give it to him? I wanted more answers. I wanted a lot of things. But there was one thing I wanted more than all of it. I thought back to the tunnels when I was able to penetrate Hunter’s thoughts and speak to him through our minds. I tried to concentrate hard on him. I thought of his name over and over again. Closing my eyes, I blew out a steady breath and tried again.“What are you doing?” Callie giggled. I jumped and looked over at her. She was propped up on her elbow staring at me like I was crazy.“What do you mean?” I rolled out of bed and shuffled through a box marked ‘

A few minutes, a right turn, and I was to his room. I knocked but there wasn’t an answer. I twisted the knob and since it was unlocked, I let myself in. I looked around but he wasn’t there. I walked to his bed and sat down, looking up at the vent we saw him in when we were searching for Hunter.Then I remembered he was looking at a photo. I looked over at the nightstand, but it was empty, besides a small lamp. There were three drawers on the stand, I looked back at the door before I decided to pursue further. I opened the bottom drawer and found old papers, letters it looked like. I didn’t bother reading them since I was already crossing so many boundaries opening his drawers. I opened the second and found pencils and drafting paper. And finally, I opened the top drawer and found something that looked like a journal. I picked it up and flipped it around. I saw something sticking out the top. I took the pages in my fingers and flipped to the marked page. There was a photo. I took it wi

The time at the shopping center flew by quickly. We found a mattress but told Sam to keep looking just in case. The day was great considering Jake decided to tag along. He hasn’t said anything weird to me since yesterday in the hallway, I had reason to believe that was because Sam was here too. It was growing close to five-thirty, and we were just a few blocks away from the meeting place.“Do you mind if Callie and I go girl shopping in the outlet stores?” I asked, pointing ahead of us to a very lit, very pink shop that screamed girls only.“Yeah sure,” Sam said, Jake looked unhappy about the idea of going into a hot pink store.“Sam, why don’t we let the girls go and we go there?” Jake pointed to the guns and hunting supplies store next to the pink one.“Well…” Sam looked like he was on the edge of considering it.“We will be just next door, what could happen?” Callie said, tipping him over to persuasion.“Okay if it’s only next door… “ Sam said hesitantly.“Great come on Cal.” I gra
