When Vince woke up the next morning and he knew at once that Gwen had not slept besides him and he also knew that a big quarrel is going to happen very soon on the issue because he refuse to not do anything about the killings and he wasn't sure that he has the strength or power for it.
He went around his home looking at different rooms to check for his wife and he didn't see her. Just as he was about to start panicking, he saw her curled up on her favorite couch in the sitting room and there was dried tears tracks on her face. He mentally kicked himself for hurting his mate and as much as a part of him wanted to give in and do whatever Gwen want him to so as to remove that sad look from his face. That was how a greater part of his is angered by the whole situation and cannot wait to get his hands in those who are responsible so that he would kill them after making them suffer for making his mate unhappy. He wanted to be done with everything so that he could get to enjoy eternity with Gwen. He knew that with her by his side he would never be bored or grow cold and emotionless ever again.
* you won't have her by your side if you keep making her cry. * his subconscious whispered to him. He knew that his subconscious was right but he didn't want to think towards that yet. He would go insane if she ever left him.
He signed as he bent to her level on the couch. He seems to be doing a lot if that these days. He kissed her hair as he tapped her to wake her up. His mate will not be happy with him and as much as he would like to shift the inevitable, he didn't have time to escape. If he left the house without her knowledge, he knew that there will be hell waiting for him when he returns.
" Love, wake up. " Vince said as he tapped her again. Normally he would smile at her sleepy morning behavior. She always tried to make him come back to bed and he knew that any second from now she would try to entice him.
" no come back to bed. " Gwen mumbled as she tried to draw Vince to her but he was having none of that.
" I mean it dear, wake up"
Gwen slowly woke as she sat up and sulks, her mind cleared when she took in Vincent appearance and remembered the conversation the night before.
" Vince don't do this. " Gwen started.
" I got to go Gwen, I promise I will be careful. " Vince said hoping that she will just accept his word on the subject and leave it be.
When she started to shook her head he knew that his hoping was in vain. " please don't go. "
" you know that I cannot sit still and not go. " Vince said softly.
" at least have somebody to watch your back. " Gwen argues with Vince who shook his head.
" the person will just slow me down and besides all I am doing is finding clues not something big. "
" so if you come across something, would you wait for others to arrive before you go in. " Gwen asked and when Vince didn't replied, tears started falling more from her eyes. " please I am begging you. You can go with your sister. I will be fine alone just please... "
" I will be fine. " Vince argues.
" for my peace of mind still carry someone along. " Gwen said and when Vince started to shake his head her face grew cold.
" so you want me to worry myself to death. " Gwen said and Vince paused.
He bits his lip as he tried to conVince his mate otherwise. " I am going... "
" I don't want to hear it. " Gwen said cutting him short. " you don't need to see me before you leave. You can do whatever you want. "
" Gwen " Vince started but she just stood up and started to leave the room.
" what about your feeding from me. " Vince asks unsettled by the quietness she was displaying.
" I wouldn't be able to keep it down so there is no need. " Gwen said as she left the room when she left his presence disappear. She held on to the wall to keep her upright before she slid down it, all the while silent tears left her eyes.
****
Through out that day, Gwen had been a shadow of herself. Apparently she was right when she said that she couldn't keep his blood in her. Any blood she took, she vomitted it. Jessica was so worried about that she kept an eye on Gwen always throughout that day.
Gwen spent the entire day in one position with tears coming out of her eyes as she tried to make remove her mind from Vince. Apparently that didn't work as she just cried more.
" I don't understand you Gwen. He is alright. " Jessica exploded unable to keep it in anymore.
" and how are you so sure of it. What is he is captured right now, we don't know anything. " Gwen said as she cries more.
" he is fine. He is the strongest among us, I am sure that he is okay. " Jessica said.
" can you swear it on your life. " Gwen asked Jessica in all seriousness and when Jessica kept quiet she said. " I thought so. "
" Gwen. " Jessica said in a soft tone as she reached for Gwen but Gwen stood up.
" If anything happen to him. I will spend the rest of eternity alone and that is for I don't kill myself first. " Gwen said pacing.
" what can I do to help. "Jessica asks as Gwen shook her head.
" that is just the thing. " she replied bitterly as she continued. " the only person who can do anything about this situation is Vince and he is not going to do anything about it. " Gwen moved to the bathroom as she dry heaved again. Her stomach is not settled because she is worried and even though nothing is in her stomach, she continued to vomit.
She heard a knock on the door of the bathroom. " Gwen, come out when you are done . " Vince said from the other side of the door and she knew that he was going to give her grief for not taking care of herself and suddenly she became bone weary. She cannot do this again. If she does she knew that she would go mad with worry.
She came out of the bathroom to see Vince pacing up and down and when he saw her, he stopped and used his eyes to check her over.
" we need to talk. " Gwen told him.
