Rosita shivered as Yoanna and Sinn entered the room. Their combined power was electric, more so even than when she had arrived at the mansion. She wasn’t sure if it was simply because they had been holding it back and had now relaxed their control or if it was because they had grown into it even more since she had seen Sinn last.In the confined space of the security office though it was like being trapped with a dangerous big cat created from it as their power filled the room and prowled around. Going by Ella and Marcus’ shivers, Rosita knew they felt it too. She could feel it calling to them, drawing their power into the mix until Rosita wasn’t sure if she wanted to run or just surrender and let their powers eat her alive.Concerned by the expression of Rosita’s face and the sweat beading across her brow, Ella reached out and touched her gently on the shoulder. “Rosita, are you okay?” The Psychic flinched under her touch and gave a

“Are you sure you wouldn’t rather stay until the morning?”The offer was gracious and very tempting but Rosita could tell that, despite her offer, Sinn still wasn’t really sure that she wanted her around. She had helped, and apologised for that time she had read the young Hunter, but Rosita had unlocked so many horrors in her at once she could understand the lingering hesitation. “Sinn, given even half a chance, despite everything, I would willingly stay here forever. After what I saw in Jade’s head though, we both know who that was with Heather. I believe I will be doing the most good by finding him as quickly as possible so you all can relax for a day at least.”“I know. You really don’t have to do anything though. Attracting his attention is never good for your health.”“I know why you think you can’t tell them… I understand your reasons, I really do. But I fear for you, trying to

Mel sighed softly as Grace closed the morgue drawer on Heather’s body. She wasn’t quite sure what to think of everything that was going on. She knew that Heather had killed Jade in cold blood but she couldn’t help the twinge of sorrow for the other woman for how it had ended for her. Mel had heard Eric and some of the other guards say that Heather had deserved what had happened. If they knew her feelings, Mel knew that they would say that her empathy for her was a ‘woman’ thing but Mel preferred to think of it as just being human.Jade hadn’t deserved what happened to him and while Heather had deserved punishment, maybe even death. What they all seemed to forget was that how she had died meant that there was someone even more ruthless out there.From what Grace had been able to tell from a quick examination of Heather’s remains, she had been killed not long after Jade and going by the ragged wounds, her head had been removed wh

Looking around the quite packed room, Ella couldn’t help but notice that one person, in particular, was absent from their gathering. Especially as Sinn was more often than not at Yoanna’s side or close to her. Giving Mel’s hand a squeeze, Ella excused herself and moved around the room looking for her missing friend.She was worried about her. There had been a sadness about her that had grown over the past couple of days that had boiled over into fury a couple of times in the gym. Luckily though, Sinn had reserved her anger for the machines and the punching bags and had broken them and not bones.Glancing out onto the patio, Ella finally spotted Sinn’s body outlined by the rising moon and the lit candle on the table at her side. Opening the French doors, Ella slipped outside and closed them behind her. She knew she must have been heard. No matter how quiet she was, the rise of noise as the doors opened would have given her away but Sinn didn&rsqu

Sinn watched without even really seeing as the numbers ticked by on the petrol pump as her bike was being refuelled by the thin-faced, thoroughly bored looking teenage attendant that was nodding along to music blasting into his ears. She had told him to fill it up just because that was what she always said but she couldn’t help but think that it would be a waste of money as she was finally down to the last address on her list. Rather than correcting her mistake though she just went inside and handed over her money.The sun had gone down hours before, she had felt the very moment it had lost its sway over the Vampires in the area like a switch had clicked inside of her. And even with all the miles now between them, she knew that if she just lowered her protection for just a moment she would find Yoanna. Just the thought of it made the ache in Sinn’s heart grow even stronger and had familiar tears welling up again from the pit of her soul to choke the back of her th
