"What?", I stuttered after a moment of being tongue tied."I believe you aren't hard of hearing", Jacob drawled, his words dripping in a hard tone and undiluted sarcasm.My eyes narrowed into slits as my desire turned into hot anger, "You have an army of men at your disposal. What do you need me for?""The dry company", Jacob mumbled in a dry tone."What?", I asked. "I resigned", I enunciated, "in case you've forgotten"."Or do you need me to help you look up the word, 'resignation'?""You can't lie and your jokes are stale", Jacob countered, his eyes lighting up as he smirked. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes widened. I felt like I was talking to Vanir or Vanir was talking to me.Anyway, Jacob had shown a bit of him. Or I was just imagining things again."If you have no other thing to say to me, please unlock the door and let me out", I said calmly, clenching my hands by the sides of my legs."I have plenty to say to you", Jacob responded, his velvet voice reaching out huskily t
We stayed silent for a while as we wound down the streets of Moon City, the night life shown in the bar lights streaming through the skies."What is the blade that he was talking about?", I asked after a while of silence. "The blade is an ancient weapon that can be used to kill young vampires", Jacob responded, his eyes focused on the road, his hands relaxed on the steering wheel."Young vampires?", I pondered. Did he mean people like Kane?"Do you mean newly turned?", I asked. "The ones that just underwent the change?""Yes", Jacob answered briskly. "The blade is formed from the tiger's eye and the red jasper"What now? I stared at him, my eyes narrowed in confusion.Feeling my eyes on him, Jacob turned to me, "The tiger's eye and red jasper are stones. Dangerous stones in the right mix can kill an average vampire, not to mention a youngin"."The bullet", I recalled from the auction, the auction of the bots. "That's what they meant by they want to make a killing bullet"."Yes, with
I watched the time tick by, anxiously waiting for my shift to end so I could prepare to meet my father. First I was going to drill him with questions. One question had been pounding through my head since I had called him this morning. The why.Then I was going to ask him to hand me the money back, at least the hundred thousand dollars that he had ran away with.What if he didn't hand me the money back? He obviously wasn't going to.What was I going to do then? I needed some kind of leverage over himA recording? I thought, pondering over it as I chewed on my lip, staring into space. The bar was empty, so I had all the time to muse over my own thoughts and not get fired.A recording could work but that meant I had to ask self incriminating questions that could be used as evidence."Hey pretty girl", a voice called, snapping me out of my head.I looked up, finding gleaming brown eyes boring into mine. Michael?"A penny for your thoughts?", He asked, smiling shyly and I rolled my eye
I stood with excruciating pain, my bones groaning as I righted myself, mentally searching my body for any signs of bruises. Grunting in pain as I flexed my hips, trying to hold back my tears as I moved one leg in front of the other testily. I walked on, the empty streets and chill late October air as my only company. I spotted the food mart, its billboard light shining out like a beacon as I noted that I was on my street. He had thrown me out on my street. I braced myself, putting one foot in front of the other, willing my body to move and trying not to assess what had just happened until I was in the comfort of my home and my bed.But my thoughts got the better of meI was done for, I was totally done for. Jacob won. My dad won. I was now Jacob's to deal with as he pleases and I knew the disaster brimming at the end would be far greater than I was encompassing right now.I had no other way out.In all context, I was the one that had stolen the money, with all the documents sign
Conan, Conan Where did I know that name? I chewed on my lips as I felt Sacha's eyes brand my skin as I paced.I glanced up at her to find her frowning at me."What?", I asked a bit harshly. In my defense, I was allowed to be a bit harsh, I was going through a crisis here and it wasn't the what to wear to the party tomorrow kind. It was the I had been aiding and abetting a criminal and the police had found out kind of crisis.Fuck, I was so stupid and now I was reaping the results of being naive.I mean how could one be naive and stupid at the same time."You know you're going to have to go", Sacha bit off, still frowning at me. In her eyes, she was saying, this is what happens when you do things on your own.Classic Sacha, I thought bitterly, guilt tripping me about something I couldn't trust anyone with.Or maybe it was just all in my head.The police had called, and I was to make my way to the station tomorrow for questioning. Apparently they had found my phone and purse in the
Sydney's killer body clad in all black leather garb and a black faux coat, leaned into the desk where Conan was seated behind, a perplexed look on his face."The case has been transferred to the vampire force", Sydney said slowly and I watched, transfixed as Conan nodded after her, my eyes going wide and in awe of the power a vampire holds."Good, we're clear", Sydney said chirpily, standing up straight as she beamed down at me, her silver eyes gleaming with mischief."Woah", Sacha exclaimed, her words somehow snapping me out of my reverie as I realized that she was still there with me and that I was still holding her hand."And who's this?", Sydney smiled, perching atop Conan's desk. My eyes went to his before returning back to hers, my eyebrows scrunched up in confusion."He can't see me", Sydney explained. "He can't see us", she corrected, raising her hand and grabbing at something in the air. My eyes widened as her hand came up to my face, clutching something. She opened up her
Relaxing his hand on my throat, Jacob's tongue sneaked into my mouth, coaxing and cajoling as my body grew lax, submitting to the sweet torment of his mouth, forgetting everything and everyone around me as I rose up to meet the clash of tongues, moaning softly as Jacob's lips left mine. I opened my eyes, finding Jacob's violet eyes glittering with hazy fire as he smiled, licking his lips as his thumb grazed mine and I was entranced, unable to stop looking at him as every nerve ending in my body tingled with sexually suppressed desire."Woah", A voice exclaimed and broke the little spell that I had been cocooned in.I turned, my eyes wide as I met Sacha's round with surprise eyes, Sydney's eyes filled with mirth and then Michael, who was glaring at his tray on the table."Scoot over", Jacob commanded softly, nudging me with as he slid in."Hey, I'm Vanir", he said softly, meeting Michael's eyes.Michael nodded and Sydney looked like she was about to bawl from laughter.Everything sudd
I chewed on my lip as I worked all afternoon, thinking about the text message that I had gotten this morning, wondering what it meant.Secret information on the bots? Who was Angie?What did she know?And was I really thinking of going?I couldn't believe I was actually thinking of going.I took out my phone again, opening up the text again'I have secret information on the bots. Meet me at the amusement park by 8~Angie'.I stared at the phone, trying to decipher who Angie was, and how had she gotten my number?How had she known of my relation with the bots?I was most definitely going to find out all these things, I sealed the thought in my head as I slid my phone back into my apron pocket and attended to a customer that had just walked in.I hoped I could drag Sacha with me. Sacha didn't know anything about the bots. Lanie did, I was going to call her after my shift.I threw myself into work, mixing drinks, wiping down tables and glasses, taking tips and smiling flirtatiously with t
