The Vampire’s Servant novel Chapter 22

[Gray]

I texted my brother with the license plate number of the car Echo got into. She rushed to get away from me fast, I was a little offended. The man she was with must be working for the vampires, so I got over it.

The most important thing was that I knew she was safe. With this information, I’d have her soon. Why was she at my school though?

I smiled at the idea of her attending and maybe being in some classes with me. That would be wonderful. I could definitely win her if she were with me all day.

Heading back to the school parking lot, I knew I had to find the girl she was hugging. If she had some information, her phone number, address, something, I could save my angel from the vampires.

She was already near the front doors by the time I got back to where the car had been parked. I pushed a little harder to get to her before she reached the doors. I needed to talk to her. She had to help me.

“Wait!” I called out to her and she turned, putting her phone away.

She looked like a warmer version of Echo. Her skin was tan, her hair dark brown instead of black, and her eyes were less green. It was shocking and I froze for a moment before shaking it off and moving forward. This must be why she looked so familiar, there was an almost Echo in my school.

Normally, we’d go to school on the pack lands, but there’d been an accident and the school needed major remodeling, so we’d started two years ago at the human school in town. Most of us elected to stay at the human school through the end of school. It was good practice for hiding ourselves.

“You’re Gray, right? Cam’s friend.” She smiled.

“Yeah. I don’t think I know your name, though.” I winced.

“We’ve had a couple classes together, but haven’t officially met, yet. I’m Harmony.”

Cam’s mate. This was good luck. The goddess must be smiling on me.

“It’s nice to officially meet you.” I grinned. “How do you know Echo?”

She looked nervous and a little upset. Harmony bit her lips together and I wondered if she’d say anything. I needed help.

‘Cam. Where are you?’ I linked him.

‘Changing. I have gym in the morning. You know that.’

‘I’m talking to your mate and I need help.’

‘What kind of help?’

‘She knows my mate and I don’t think she’s going to tell me how. Can you get out here? We’re in front of the school.’

‘I need a minute. I’ll be there soon.’ He replied.

“It’s cool if you don’t want to answer right now. How are your classes going?” I asked.

She took the change of subject with a breath of relief. I’d have that information before school got out, though. I would find my mate and free her. Then she could be mine forever.

We made small talk for a while as I tried to keep her there so Cam could help me get the information about Echo. He finally came trotting up and put his arm around her.

“Hey there, beautiful.” He said kissing her on the cheek. “I see you met Gray.”

“We’ve had classes together before, I just never really had a reason to talk to him.” She giggled.

She sounded so much like Echo. It made me wish she were there, being as sweet and loving as Harmony was with Cam. I’d save her and we would be together like they were. She wouldn’t run away from me anymore.

“So, did he tell you about the girl he likes then? He’s been going on about her ever since he met her.” Cam laughed.

“No, we were just chatting about school stuff.” Harmony replied.

“Well, I asked how you knew her…” I trailed off.

“Echo? You have a crush on Echo?” She asked wide eyed.

“Yeah. She’s been on my mind. You look a lot like her. Are you related? Cousins, maybe?” I asked.

Harmony looked like she was debating how to answer.

“No. We’re just friends.” She lied.

I glanced at Cam to see if he caught it and he did. He looked disappointed. Suddenly, Val came bursting out of the door and ran down to us.
