“Ahhh! I love this song!” Izzie screamed to Jake, throwing back her fourth?... fifth?.. maybe eighth? shot. She grabbed Jake’s hand, dragging him through the throng of people to the centre of the neon, chequered dance floor. She ran her fingers out through her long brown hair, as her body began to sway to the beat. Bodies gyrated every which way as the squares on the floor below them lit up different shades of purple, bathing everyone periodically in its light and giving a sensual feel to the dance floor.
Izzie felt good as
What the fuck was he doing here?This was some pretty suspicious looking 'family business.'Izzie kept blinking to try focus in on what the hell he was doing, but her vision annoying kept swaying and blurring and she inwardly cursed herself for drinking so much. He was up
Izzie just sat there motionless as she stared into the dark fabric of Brad's suit jacket. "I'm here for Cassius Lockwood," his words spun around in her mind, refusing to sink in. If that was the case then that meant that her assignment had been passed on to Brad. Francis had stepped it up to Elite level, but why?
“Izzie?” Jake’s anxious voice breathed down the receiver when she didn’t respond. The gravity of the situation bearing down on her more and more as her brain worked overtime to process his words. This was a vamp party. How had she not seen all the classic signs?
Before Izzie knew it she was flung around, coming face to face with a strange male vamp. His deep red eyes raked hungrily over her, drinking her in as he held her still. He was only a little taller than her, though that didn’t give her any sort of advantage.“Looks like I found the diamond in the rough,” he chuckled darkly. This repugnant beast reminded her exactly why she was a slayer, and why she loved her job so much. Ridding the world of vile creatures like him and saving innocent humans from being hunted like this. Witho
Fiancee.The word cut like a hot knife through her chest, making her draw an involuntary breath. The nauseous feeling from earlier suddenly resurfaced ten-fold. A lump formed in her throat as her heart shattered inside of her. There was a heat forming behind her eyes and she wasn’t entirely sure if it was anger or sorrow. Jealousy gripped her as she looked Vanessa up and down, her gaze finally halting on her occupied ring finger. There it sat, a delicate gold band that housed an obnoxiously large diamond. It was quite obviously very expensive given the sheer size of it, but on her finger, it just looked tacky (but maybe that was the jealousy talking.) It twinkled in the dim club lights, almost taunting her with its presence. She’d hoped this was just a sick joke that Cassius was playing, but there it was, clear as day for all to see.Despite all odds, Izzie had begun to feel a connection with him and had finally been able to admit to herself that she did care about him. All the time t
"Does that thing ever shut up?" Brad groaned at Izzie's phone as it flashed up with another annoying ding for what seemed like the hundredth time since they sat down, "When did you become so popular?"Izzie shot him a pointed look, before turning her attention back to her strawberry milkshake. The three of them had stopped off at a late-night burger joint, Brad and Izzie had grabbed a booth while Jake was still stood outside animatedly arguing with the taxi firm over the phone. The restaurant was f
Everything seemed to happen within a split second. They never stood a chance.Jake was slammed back hard against a tree, rendering him unconscious and Brad was grabbed and hurled out of the trees before a hand closed around Izzie's throat.
She screamed loud and hard as pain exploded from her neck. She could feel his lips curl into a twisted smile at the sound and she felt hot trickles begin to run down her neck. She felt weak as he yanked her head sideways, driving his fangs deeper into her flesh. She had never felt so helpless in her entire life. At least when the wolf had bitten her she had passed out almost immediately. Not this time.
