Hunter and I followed her.
“When do you plan to leave?” I asked Hunter.
I wished that the answer would be in a week or two.
“In two days,” Hunter said, making my stomach twist painfully. “I have to go back. I already stayed longer than I planned.”
“Two days?” Fia asked, surprised.
Hunter looked at her and nodded.
“Yes, Angel,” he said. “We need to go back.”
Fia glanced at me. I smiled, trying not to show her how nervous I was.
We will see each other all the time.She mind-linked me.
I know.I said.I am just worried about the darkness. Would Hunter be able to help you?
She looked at Hunter.
I don’t know.She sighed.I feel better when I am around him. You need to show him how you do it.
Fia started making coffee. Hunter and I sat down at the table.
I am not even sure what to tell him, Fia.I sighed.
You can tell him about the heartbeat thing.She said.That always helps me.
I glanced at Hunter. He was staring at my sister with a small smile on his face.
Do you think that he will be able to remain calm?I asked her.
I hope so.She sighed.You know how important that is at that moment.
I did know that, but it took me years to learn how to remain calm in that situation. I still felt the need to freak the fuck out every time it happened, but I learned how to control it. I usually freaked out after.
‘Maybe we should just go with her and be there for a while,’Axel said.
I wanted that too, but I knew that would be impossible.
‘You know we can’t do that, Axel,’I sighed.
Alex grunted and retreated. He was scared. I understood him. I was scared too.
“Are you two done talking?” Hunter chuckled, looking from Fia to me.
“I am sorry,” Fia apologized immediately. “We were just talking about…”
“It’s okay, Sophia,” Hunter interrupted her. “I understand. It’s a twin thing, right?”
He looked at me and smiled.
“It is,” I said as I took the coffee mug out of Fia’s hand.
She handed one to Hunter and sat down opposite us.
“So, what is the most important thing I need to know if something like that happens to her again?” Hunter asked as he took a small sip of his coffee.
