บท 288: Blood of the Hybrid (1)

Aila stayed in her quarters until she felt better, entertained by Harry, which kept her spiralling thoughts at bay. She knew Cassius would find her and work out if Damon really was nearby, and if the vampire did figure it out, then she needed to know if he was going to hurt him or not. She could only hope that the group would be gone because if she saw Cassius attempting anything, then all of her hard work would have been for nothing.

But Aila couldn't sit around waiting for an impending doom that could or could not happen. The worry at the back of her mind was making her stomach tie in knots, and she knew now that this was what Cassius' real aim was. To make her wait. If there was nothing to hide, then there would be no signs that she was worrying the entire time.
