“You’re leaving, leaving?” The disappointment was clear in my voice.
“That is what I said.”
I grabbed his arms, using my own Vampire strength to stop him. “You can’t leave” I tried to keep the panic I was feeling out of my voice.
Shaking my hand off Erik continued to move forward without a word.
“You’re not leaving!” I shouted, moving with magical speed to stand in front of him. Ignoring me still he tried to move around me. “NO!” I shouted again. “You are not leaving!”
“Get out of the way Carrie, or you are going to get hurt.”
