Chapitre 120: Ava: Vampire's Call

"If you ever need me, child, simply light a candle and call my name. I'll find you."

My eyes snap open in the middle of a deep sleep, and my heart races, a thunderous pounding in my chest that shakes my entire body.

The dream was too real, too close to memory. Selene's ears perk up as she lifts her head from the foot of the bed. What's wrong, Ava?

I shake my head, eyes darting to the door. Kellan's somewhere in the apartment, ever present, always listening. I think I know how to contact Sister Miriam. The maybe-vampire lady.

Selene's blue eyes widen. How? She sits up, her full attention on me.

When she visited me before the ceremony, she said if I needed her, I should light a candle and call her name. That she'd find me.

Tell me everything, Selene says, her voice gentle in my mind. Every detail.
