I told her with a wink. "Hmm, okay… we'll have to say bye to your friend first though," she suggested. Little did she know that I was already one step ahead of her. As vampires we could communicate with our minds so I had already informed him of my intentions. "That's covered," I told her as I helped her out of her seat and placed her arm in mine, "see here he comes," I said, as uncle Alberto could now be seen walking towards us. "Leaving so soon?!"

lived in the shadows, their bodies warped by the city’s static. ​"You shouldn't be here, Alpha," a voice rasped from a pile of discarded server racks. ​A man emerged, his skin covered in glowing, blue "Circuit-Tattoos" that flickered like dying embers. He was a "Glitcher", a shifter whose DNA had been partially overwritten by the city’s data-stream. ​"We’re looking for the 'Black-Aperture' hub," Leo said, his hand resting on his pulse-pistol.

Gloria’s phone has five-level encryption… and one of the strongest anonymizing firewalls I’ve ever seen. If she weren’t a crime boss, I’d recruit her into Silicon Valley.”

She reached out, tugged at him, and with her usual pleading expression, stared at him. "It's still early… Maybe she's not even up yet. Why don't you stay for a little bit longer?"

He saw a guy who looked like Rhaizen Gale, who stood up and shattered a sword in half with his own hands. /................................................................/ Nelanian had once again lost his footing.

The way he held himself like the world belonged to him. The other figure... My breath caught. Blonde hair. Slim frame. It looked exactly like the photos of Natalie Grey. They were arguing.
