Macarena

Vincent comes over, “Eva!”

I bite my lip, “You heard?”

He nods, “I did. I'm not mad. She had it coming.” 

Eric stood in front of that vampiress. “Get Veronica out of here. She's had too much. To my office, both of you, please,” he said.  So the chick who thought I was food is named Veronica. I will remember that. We walked into his office. It is very nice. He pours us a drink. I giggle because it looks like I drive these guys to drink.  Eric shakes his head, “It's scotch; we are going to need this!”

I go on the defensive, “She provoked me and tried to grab me!”

He sighs, “We know.”

I look at Eric, more confused than ever, “You mean Vincent told you?” They look at each other and then at me, “Don't even think … nor suggest! Not happening!”

Eric smirks, “Prove me wrong.” I think, 'f*ck you'.

They both answer out loud. Vincent says, “I’d love to, when you're ready.” Eric says, “Is that an invitation?”

I huff as I throw my hands up, “For fucksake! Can't you just unlike me!”

Eric chuckles, “There's no unfriend button, Eva.”

I look at him, “Well, I'm going to make one. I was single earlier today. Is this why we are here, Vincent?”

He nods, “One reason, yes. I thought you might be Eric’s mate, and I knew that you had to see it for yourself.”

I roll my eyes, “So what's the other?”

He says, “I want to test the limits of your mind, and I need to know that you'd be safe as I do so. I trust Eric, and more so, now that I know he's a mate. I'm going across town. Give me 15 minutes and try to talk to me. Don't look for a trace as you did for the wolf.”

I agree, and he leaves me with Eric while he conducts his experiment. Eric and I use this time to talk. “Vincent told me that you can control the elements,” he says.

“Maybe, it just kinda happened. We don't know what caused it,” I reply.

“He said your blood is like none other, as well,” Eric mentioned.

I nod, “Yeah, but I don't know what he's comparing it to.”

Telepathically, Vincent said that he compared my blood to that of all non-extinct immortals, humans, and many animals. That shocked me because it scared me. 

“Eva, your eyes are glowing,” he worriedly says.

“Crap, that happened before the tornado formed around us,” I reply, as I try to hide my face.

He puts his hand on mine, “Well, we are inside, so that probably won't happen. He didn't say what you were doing when your powers emerged.” I look away. He inquired, “You weren't, were you?”

I shake my head, “No, just a kiss.”

He huffs, “Why are you in my head?”

“I'm trying not to be,” I say. I'm so nervous. I can't control anything, and fighting the bond isn't helping either.

He sighs, “Please stop singing Macarena.”

I look down, “Sorry, it's a reflex.”

Then we hear Vincent in our minds, “For the love of God!” I laugh at him and Eric. Eric shares his thoughts, “We need to find a linked couple to talk with. There are a few who frequent here. Not many exist like they used to. I will have my men see if any are here tonight.”

I go back to talking out loud. Silent conversations just feel alien to me, “Eric, all of this is so far-fetched. Yet I can't discredit it.”
