Sphinx CHAPTER XLIX
John opens the door and barely sees Rachael's frame behind Gabriel. The sphinx turns his eyes to the vampire and pulls away from Rachael. “Rachael, come on girl. Get dressed so we can leave,” John says. “Let’s give her some space,” he says. The two immortals exit the room. They walk side by side; “Let her be, Gabe”, John says to Gabriel. “I can’t do that John. I’m in love with her,” Gabriel says. “No, that’s not you. Let her be, man. She isn’t built for our world,” “Neither were you,”. Roosevelt Auto Wrecking, Queens, New York. The Tremblays arrived thirty minutes earlier than agreed. Being a hunter of the supernatural; it has never been wise to leave their fate in the hands of the monsters. Kate and Lucas Tremblay stand outside the shop while they chat.

John, Elena and Gabriel have a laugh as John makes a joke about Elma. Elena wasn’t comfortable when she first came here but being with this group of immortals has changed her perception of vampires. Before now, she and her family only ever tortured creatures of the supernatural for information that would lead to another hunt. She saw them as monsters who only thought of draining the lives of mortals. She never thought they had real social lives that did not involve death. But to see them laugh and talk makes her see them in a different light. “Hey,” Elma offers to pour her a drink as her glass is empty. She nods as the vampire fills her cup with liquor. “So, who is oldest amongst you guys?” Elena asks. She throws her hair backwards. “I am,” Gabriel says. Elena eyes his tight shirt as it grips his body. “How old are you?” “I am 500 years old,” he says. Elena is shocked and she almost chokes on her drink. “Take it easy, love” Elma pats her on the back. “500 years? You have
