He paused, skimming the index
with one pudgy finger. “I think the first thing we need to do is teach her to
fly. That way, she can escape if she needs to.”
“I canst not fly! I told you that.”
Shauna patiently explained. “You’re
a vampire. According to legend, vampires can fly.”
“Well, the mean guy doesn’t
really fly. He just kind of dissolves,” Earl pointed out.
“Actually, she’s not a vampire,”
Benny said, scanning a page. “She’s a dhampir—half vampire, half human.”
“Dhampir. Vampire. What’s the
difference?”
“I haven’t read that far yet.”
“P’raps if I be not a vampire, I
canst not fly,” Chloe interjected, hoping to put an end to the absurd discussion.
“Let’s see.” Benny read on. “No…no,
even half-vamp, you still have powers.” His brows lifted. “Don’t you remember?”
“About what?”
“You know… Twice, when you got pissed, your eyes glowed
red and your nails got long and creepy. We all saw it!”
Shauna and Earl nodded, affirming
his statement.
Pain pounded at her temples. Frustrated
and dismayed, Chloe strode to the window, looking out over the sea of lights. Though
late, the city was alive with night revelers, frolicking without care, unaware
that Jochad’s minions lurked in the dark corners, feeding on the unwary. Her
stomach cramped. It was a while since she’d fed as well, but unless Earl had
found sustenance, she would have to wait.
