Free The Vampire Hunter's Academy: The Darkness by Delizhia Jenkins Page A

sort of supernatural GPS on her, so let’s say if she did leave the campus tonight for any reason, she would not be safe. He would track her, and kill whoever was in her company. The great thing is he can’t turn her but, there are other ways you can be killed or worse, he can attempt to hold you hostage until you mature, and…there is just a whole lot he can do to you to promote his own agenda.”
    “So basically, this all boils down to sex?” Maya asked.
    “Maya!” Sanaya scolded, burying her face in her hands.
    Maya shrugged. “Well is it?”
    “Yes and no,” Eve responded calmly. “Sanaya, he is going to do everything in his power to seduce you out of The Academy. It is another tactic masters use on their prey. Once locked in your mind he is going to become the object of your sexual fantasies to the point of madness and you will do anything to break out of here and find him. He will become your beacon of relief and will remain so until he is exterminated.” Eve bit her lip nervously. “That is why I’m here. I know how to lessen the tie energetically, and to make sure that should he decide to call you,” Eve met Sanaya’s gaze. “You don’t run.”
    The silence that accompanied Maya’s gasp reiterated to Sanaya that her nerves were on edge, and she needed to be in motion. Pushing herself from the door frame, she swiftly slipped into the first bedroom, locking the door behind her. A moment was all she needed, at least that is what she told herself. Sinking to the floor, she folded her knees, wrapping her arms around them in a huddled position as she’d done when she first arrived to The Academy. People were going to die. She knew it. Guardians weren’t invincible. She was the one destined to hunt masters and all of the stronger levels of darkness, and yet here she was yet again in another position where she felt…helpless. Sucking in a deep breath, she allowed the anxiety to wash over her.
    What is wrong with me? She swallowed thickly and rested her head against the door. Why is this-
    “’Naya?”  Maya’s concerned voice interrupted Sanaya’s thoughts followed by a soft rap on the door.
    “Naya? Are you ok?”
    “Yeah,” Sanaya said pushing herself up off of the floor. “I just needed a moment to digest everything.”
    “Can I come in?”
    Sanaya slowly reached for the handle and opened the door.  Eve was still seated on the couch, but was heavily engaged on her cell, while Maya slipped in taking a seat on the edge of the queen sized bed in the center of the room.
    “You know they won’t allow that vampire to get to you, right?”
    Sanaya exhaled sharply. “That is not what I am worried about Maya. I’m the one that is supposed to kill him-“
    “But you’re not ready! We are not ready-“
    “People are going to die Maya!”
    Maya flinched at Sanaya’s panicked outburst. “They are Guardians ‘Naya. They have been doing this long before we were even born and have done so throughout the centuries when there wasn’t a slayer.”
    “But this time Maya,” Sanaya began as she paced the room. “This time I think things are different.”
    “How so?”
    “I don’t know…I just do. Something’s telling me that all of this just ain’t right.”
    Suddenly, the door swung open drawing both girls’ attention. Eve poked her head in with a warm smile.
    “Are you girls alright?”
    “Yeah, uh…we’re fine,” Sanaya said mentally pleading for Maya to remain quiet.
    “Just know that are you are safe Sanaya,” Eve assured her. “Things will be back to normal before you know it.”
    “As if any of this is normal,” Maya mumbled underneath her breath.
    “Well, I will be in the other room if you need me. Tia is on her way and…” Eve held Maya’s gaze. “If anything out of the ordinary happens, call me.” Eve closed the door behind her, leaving the two girls alone once more.
    “Sanaya what are we gonna do?” Maya asked, nervously picking her nails.
    “I don’t know…I
