Stolen Sun (The Juliana Lucio Series) Read Online Free PDF Page B

I physically felt the pain in your heart because you knew you were losing them --”
    “Stop.” I croaked out, I couldn’t take this.
    “I was in awe at the love coming from you, and it distracted me enough that I stopped taking your blood.”
    “Please, stop. I don’t want to hear this anymore.”
    “I need to finish this Juliana, let me finish this. It’s what you’ve wanted to know isn’t it!”
    She came around to stand in front of me and lightly brushed away the tears silently falling down my cheeks.
    “When I looked down at you and saw what I had done, I felt your loss. I couldn’t be the cause of that, the reason for that love to be taken from this world. So I did the only thing I could think to do . Y our heart was slowing so much that I wasn’t sure the next beat was going to come. I opened my v ein and pressed it to your lips. I forced you to swallow my blood, as much I could get down you. As soon as I knew it was going to stay down, and I heard your heart begin to beat again, I put you in the back of your car and brought you here. William helped me clean you up and we put you in the basement where you would be safe. I watched you for two days, not leaving your side once ; just waiting to see if it worked, if you were going to wake up.”
    “Why didn’t you know if it would work?” My voice was cracking from my tears.
    “I am 126 years old Juliana , and you are the only person I have ever turned.”
    This in itself seemed to be a confession all on its own. She had never turned anyone before, until me. I wasn’t sure how I should feel about this.
    “What about the park ? Y ou said you would stop me, keep me from killing that man. Instead I found myself standing over a dead body with a stranger to take care of me! I don’t know William, hell I don’t even know you, but I trusted that you would watch my back, and you just left me with a stranger? What kind of person does that?” 
    My anguish over what I had done was replaced by anger over Ana abandoning me. If she hadn’t left me I probably wouldn’t have killed that man, not to mention her leaving me with a man I had never seen before.
    Both of our emotions were beginning to cloud together and making me feel over-emotional. William had explained what happened, that she was overcome with bloodlust at seeing me like that as well as the combination of feeling the emotions in me, which she isn’t used to, proved to be too much for her to handle. She froze-up. When William found us he tried to stop me from killing the man . A fter Ana realized the man was dead , she fled from the guilt and anger she knew I would have toward her.
    “That man is the one person I trust with my life ; I trust him with yours as well. Seeing as you’re here and unharmed , stop acting like it was a burden to have him there with you, besides I did come back that night. I know how hard it must have been for you to be all alone with him . Y ou were probably thankful I was gone!”
    I could feel the jealousy and anger pouring from her now, and I had a sinking feeling. Her eyes were starting to ring themselves in black.
    “What are you talking about?” I asked shakily.
    “I came home that night and I could feel the desire coming from you two from the driveway. What were you two ‘strangers’ doing that night to cause such strong want from you anyway?”
    “Ana stop it, ” William said firmly.
    I had felt a slight prickling at the back of my n eck as Ana was speaking earlier. I thought it might have been him but didn’t want to say anything.
    “I told you earlier nothing happened between the two of us, so curb the jealous lover act and leave Juliana alone.” William was reprimanding Ana further.
    I was incredibly embarrassed now . N ot only had William told Ana about what he did to me that night, but also she just confirmed for him that I really had wanted him -- as if he hadn’t already figure that out on his own. I needed to get out of there before I embarrassed
