"You didn't tell me that you fell," Alyssa spoke up, giving him a confused look.
"I didn't want to worry you. I didn't think that it was important at the time," Elias replied. Maybe he had been wrong about that. He should've said something earlier, but they still wouldn't have thought anything of it.
Melina suddenly grabbed Elias' arm and turned him around. She grabbed the back of the neck of his shirt and tugged it down.
"You were marked," she said.
"What is it?" Elias asked, not knowing what she was seeing.
Melina grabbed her phone and took a picture of the lower section of the back of his neck. She handed him her phone with a grave look on her face.
Elias looked at the picture, seeing a black line down the middle of his neck. Chills erupted over his skin as he stared at the mark. He had no idea that was what happened when he felt his neck sting. He thought a bug had bit him or something.
"What does that mean?" he asked her.
