Chapter 60 The Enveloping Darkness

• Elena
• It's as clear as day. We were nearing the villa, just turning the bend with nothing around us but forest. I put my cell phone back in my hand bag after texting Isaac and something to the left caught my attention. I screamed for Simon to move out of the way and luckily he heard me, but it wasn't enough. When the other car hit us, I saw him. Francis, one of our drivers.
• The anger bristles from Sebastian as I tell him the story. "Are you certain, Elena?" He asks, and I nod. "The scar, I remember the scar." Francis' scar has always unnerved me; it started at his temple and snaked all the way down to his throat. Sebastian takes his cell phone out. “We have a lead. Get down to the hospital room as soon as you're able to.” Then he kills the call. He sits down and cups my cheek in his hand. "My Elena, finally you've returned to me," he says as a solitary tear falls down his cheek. "I have missed you so much, Elena. These past few weeks without you have been Hell in itself." He says, planting a kiss on my forehead and I feel it travel all the way down to my toes. I smile at him and look down at my battered body; I guess it will force me to take time off now. I 'm sure Isaac will be happy about that.
