Dante fell asleep almost right away after getting under the covers. I stayed next to him for a long time, just watching over him, making sure nothing could disturb his sleep. I also made sure he wasn't injured. A fall like that... Thinking about it still sent shivers down my spine. I was glad to see he was able to heal from such massive injuries so fast. Normal werewolves wouldn't be up and running in his shoes, but it seemed like Rassawolves were more special than that.
"He is special, all right," Roe muttered before appearing next to the bed.
"Is it done?" I asked quietly.
"That vampire noble had an exquisite taste. Her treasure is a fine addition in my collection," he said with a cheerful voice.
"As long as no one knows where you got it," I muttered, looking at the lightly snoring Dante. "He doesn't seem like he remembers what he did."
"Trust me, if he remembered that beautiful display of internal organs splattered across the cave, we would definitely know," Roe chuckled. "We have a true artist in our hands."
"Very funny," I said, but I had to admit, seeing what had happened to Gus warmed my soul. "I'm just sad he got to that weasel first."
"I'm assuming we're keeping this to ourselves," Roe said.
"Truth would only make things complicated with the others," I sighed. "I doubt anyone will miss that bastard enough to start looking for him. He left, that's all they need to know."
"Agreed," Roe breathed out. "Humans with their morals..."
I chuckled at his remark. "You used to be a human too."
"Don't you dare call me one of them. I was fine with killing people. Just like you."
"This is why warlocks are the villains in movies," I noted, turning to look at Dante. "But he's not a villain. He's a victim, and he doesn't need to know."
Our grim conversation was brought to an end when we could suddenly feel a portal being opened outside, and we heard a car driving up to the house. I got up to look through the window just when Ben's van stopped by the house, and the engine was turned off.
"Can we now focus on finding the cure?" Roe asked me.
"Yes. No more side missions," I promised him.
"Good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go do something that is actually useful."
"Thanks, Roe. Again," I said while he vanished without giving me a reply.
I sighed and looked at Dante. He was so fast asleep I doubted he'd wake up even if the house blew up. I wanted to stay with him, but Roe was right. We had to continue with our real task. I got up and looked out the window just in time to see Frank's car emerging out of the portal. I stood there and watched as my teacher got out of the car to close it.
