Chapter 21: Decision, Part 3

"What are you doing tonight?" I asked, but from the look on his face, he thought I wanted to get together and do something."Not much, homework mainly. What about you?"I decided that telling him at least some of the truth was best. And I wanted to tell him the truth. Something about Zac made me not want to keep secrets from him. I sighed, and then replied, "Going to the city with my father." I didn't add that Annie was going, too. "Oh," Zac replied, looking at the circles he was drawing on the top of my hand. "Do you need a ride home this afternoon?" I smiled to myself, thinking. "Yes," I replied. "That would be nice." I would get hold of Annie this afternoon and have her meet us at the house. I paused by the door outside our English Lit. class, leaning against the wall. Saying nothing, Zac looked me directly in the eye. Funny how he felt no aversion to me whatsoever. Like I said, usually humans kept their distance. I'd been a lone wolf for a while now and it felt good to have

Chapter 22: Decision, Part 4

He simply smiled his sexy half smile, and held up a hand, watching me as I walked away. Away from him, I took deep breaths to clear my head. Being near him was a heady experience, intoxicating. I ran down the hall—perhaps a bit faster than human speed—to the gym. I needed to run, to exercise, to clear my head. I needed time to think. Inside the gym, I ran down the stairs and into the girl's locker room, my head still filled with Zac. What was I doing? I thought as other girls ran around the locker room in various stages of undress, preparing for gym class. Ignoring them, I quickly ripped open my backpack and pulled a gray T-shirt and navy shorts from it—not as sexy as I like, but typical gym attire—as thoughts of Zac assaulted my mind. How could I let Zac have this effect on me? I sighed, leaning my head back against a locker door, not sure I had a choice anymore. "Hi!" a familiar, perky voice said. Sandra. "You have gym now?" she asked, clearly excited, already dressed and ready to

Chapter 23: Decision, Part 5

Coach Sullivan suddenly blew the whistle. "Fowl!" he called as I helped Sandra up off the floor. "That's okay," Alicia said sarcastically. "She won't make it, anyway." "Since when did you become such a bitch?" I asked her, point blank. "Since when did you even give a damn?" she countered, ready this time. Good question."Since I met Zac," I answered and watched as her face contorted into a scowl. I smiled sweetly. Sandra made both her free throws. I cheered and Alicia sneered. Sandra was a bit apprehensive toward Alicia, until I told her low so no one could hear, "Like I said: I have your back. Go for it!" Sandra smiled. I took the ball out, then passed it to Sandra and guarded her so she could go toward the basket. Foreseeing her next move, I blocked Alicia, sneering at her, until she was unable to get around me. Sandra came down the court and I let Alicia go. Suddenly, Sandra stopped dead in her tracks, sending Alicia to the ground. Sandra had the ball and Alicia was the one wh

Chapter 24: The Mirage, Part 1

"Okay," I said to Rick-who had his arms crossed, wearing a smirk-as I walked into the door. "Go ahead. Say what you must."Rick said nothing, but just stood in the hallway, eyeing me. "Okay," I said in reply. "Don't say it." Rick burst into laughter. "Go ahead," I replied, placing my backpack on the small wooden bench Rick must have placed in the foyer this afternoon. "Have your fun.""The great Star!" Rick said, laughing as he backed out of my way. I stormed past him to the kitchen, knowing he would follow. "Falling in love! And with an assignment, no doubt!" I pulled a Mountain Dew out of the fridge and opened the top, sighing as I took a swig. "I know. I know!" I said, walking around the counter. "What was I thinking?" Then Rick's expression changed to one of concern. "You really do have feelings for him?" "Yes, damn it!" I replied, unable to believe what was happening. "I don't want to risk the mission and I sure as hell can't lose focus! Not now with Zac's life on th

"You need any weapons, Annie?" I called down the stairs. "No," she replied. "I'm all geared up!" "Good," I replied, darting at vamp speed down the stairs. "You never know what we might need."Rick rolled his eyes, familiar with my passion for toys. "Let's go, ladies!" he bellowed as he darted out the door, and we followed. "Now, who did you say was good?" Annie asked mischievously, getting into the back seat of Rick's vehicle, as I slipped into the front passenger's seat. Rick rolled his eyes again. "Never mind ..."I laughed, clearly enjoying Rick's discomfort. "Rick, here, was just telling me what a great agent I am!""Oh?" Annie asked, her eyebrows lifting, eying Rick. Rick gave me a look that said to watch it. "You're going to pay for this," Rick said, looking at me. Between Annie and me, he didn't stand a chance. "Sorry, Rick," I said, laughing. "I just couldn't help myself."Then, Rick gave me a look that said he was happy to see me laughing again. The three of us

After he ran the card and I signed the paperwork, the car was mine. When he ran the card, it went through with no problem. "Here you are, Miss," Cheap Suit said, handing me the keys to my new car. "And if there is anything else we can do for you ..." "Yeah, yeah," I said, taking the keys and slipping them into my pocket. "Just don't be so quick to judge a book by its cover next time, bud." The man nodded sheepishly, realizing again the sale his assumption almost cost him. "Also, we're going out for a bit. I'm leaving the car here and we'll pick it up later. Okay?""No problem, Miss." He was very accommodating now. "It will be here for you when you're ready." I nodded, and then Rick, Annie, and I climbed back into Rick's SUV."Can you believe that guy?" I asked rhetorically, out of Cheap Suit's earshot, as we headed back to New York City. "Hey," Annie said from the back seat. "Take it as a compliment! You look like a teenager! Enjoy it!""Yeah, a two-hundred-and-thirty-year-o

I looked up at him, smiling sweetly in a voice too low for the humans to hear. "I was born in the year of our Lord, 1758. I think I'm old enough to enter." Of course, I could have shown him a fake ID, too, but vamps knew you could fake anything you wanted-if you had the money. Then, I smiled menacingly as my eyes flared. "Sorry, Miss," Burly said, touching my shoulder. "It's just protocol. Go on in." Body print. He didn't know what he just did when he touched me. But, then again, I'm sure he hadn't run into anyone quite like me, either. "Same as her, handsome," Annie said with a sexy smile, running a hand over his muscular arm as she walked by, checking him out. She wasn't a shape shifter. She just liked men, sexy men. Rick rolled his eyes, "Behave yourself, Annie," he said, letting us go in front of him. "This isn't a pleasure trip." "So you say!" Annie replied. To Annie, everything was an opportunity for fun. But immediately her demeanor changed as we entered the dark club;

Chapter 28: The Mirage, Part 5

"Let's go!" Annie yelled as we pushed other vamps aside at vamp speed, heading toward the back door with Boy Blue and Big Bird. Suddenly, a vamp lunged at Annie with a heavy wooden board, swinging it at her, but she blocked it, shattering it to pieces with a Jujitsu move. Then, Annie kicked him with both feet square in the chest, sending him flying across the bar. Annie landed gracefully on her feet, poised and ready for more. Then, she took out another vamp, literally picking him up and throwing him into three other vamps as I used Boy Blue to push through the back door. Out the back we moved at vamp speed to the Mercedes, where it set, unharmed. Rick threw a wad of hundreds at the punks watching the van in the back of the club, who weren't asking questions as we escorted Boy Blue and Big Bird to the van. "Thanks, man!" the punk said, his eyes growing wide seeing the bills. "And you saw nothing," Rick said over his shoulder, speaking of the exchange. Big Bird was putting up a fi

"Okay, okay! Don't do it, man! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything I know!" Boy Blue sang like a canary. "I don't know the guy's name, but he came into the club last week and said he would pay a million dollars to anyone who found him! He said to bring the kid to the club and "V" would know what to do!" The guy was rambling. Funny how men decided to sing when faced with death. I looked at Rick, questioning, but he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. I yanked Boy Blue's head back further, shoving the Ballistics knife closer to his throat. "Who's 'V'?" Boy Blue's eyes went blank. "You know who 'V' is, Steve! You see him every day!" "Who's 'V'?" I demanded, shoving the knife closer as blood trickled down his throat. Then understanding dawned in his eyes. "You're not Steve." Without loosening my grip, my body quivered and shook, my features changing and morphing until I looked like myself, a teenage female vamp with long wavy brown hair stretching down my back, with blac

Chapter 30: Heart, Part 1

At the same time, Annie unloaded her clip into Big Bird's forehead, and watched as his brains covered his friend and the ground. "Hurry," Rick said, looking around. We hadn't been interrupted yet, but we might have company soon after hearing the gun shots. We'd been lucky so far. Gun shots in New York City were pretty common place, but our luck couldn't hold out for long. Together, Annie and I gathered the pieces of the bodies. Then, Annie pulled a lighter out of her pocket, lit it, and threw it onto the pile. Suddenly, a flash fire rose up brightly illuminating the night as the flames consumed the bodies of Big Bird and Boy Blue. Well, at least they died together. And just as suddenly, the flames died out-except for the flames burning the surrounding grass-leaving a pile of hot gray ash behind. "Amazing," Annie said, shaking her head. "Yeah," I replied, looking at the pile of ash. "It never ceases to amaze me how quickly we burn.""Well, at least it's quick," Annie retorted.
