.We’ve learned to compromise along the way, but that doesn’t eliminate the characteristics.We’re lucky that we built a solid foundation throughout my transformation.Had we not created that stability of love and trust, we wouldn’t still be together, especially given all I did and questioned with Kai.“Very analytical,” he stated with a chuckle.“Ugh! Stay out of my head!” I went from three to five and now six people can read my thoughts.Unbelievably irritating! I can’t read not one of theirs…“Sorry baby,” he kissed my hand that was wrapped in his.“Uh huh.I doubt that.” He kept smiling, unfazed by my doubt.Kalel answered the door.I didn’t want to barge in despite having a key.“Teach me.I need you to teach me to fight them,” I blurted before I was officially through the door.“Is she serious?” he asked Kellan.They shared a few looks.“Um, hello?! I can speak for myself.And yes I’m serious.” I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a drink.B Positive had quickly been becoming my drink of choice.Kai was right about time and taste.Back in the living room a rumble had erupted.Kai and Gabi had joined and they all seemed to be in a heated discussion verging argument over my choice.“I think it’s great.We need to show these pendejos that we won’t go down without a fight.And even if we lose; they will lose something,” Gabi fired at the men.“I agree.Leka shouldn’t sit idle.We should fight with her.They are after one of our own, not a stranger,” Kai added.“Think about it.What vamp has ever hunted their assassin? Well, assassins in my case.We could gain the element of surprise.That’s got to be better than waiting for a hit,” I jumped in.By now the sides were obvious.It was Gabi, Kai and me against Kellan, Kalel and the last to join, Rafi.“It’s too dangerous.They could catch on and lead us straight into a trap.We don’t know how many are working together,” Rafi argued.“I agree.It would lead us off our home turf into the unknown.We would be fighting blind,” Kalel continued.“Not necessarily.They’re watching me.They’re already on our land.We just have to make sure to fight them here,” I offered.I chugged the remainder of my blood and set the empty bottle on the coffee table.I’m proud to say that most vamps recycle, partially because we will get to see what the items are remade into.“Are you adamant?” Kellan asked shifting to look at me directly.“Yes.I really want this done and over with.” I was half pleading, half stating my answer.I hate the whole cat and mouse chase thing; I didn’t even like Tom & Jerry growing up.(I’m indifferent now.)“You are such a stubborn, impulsive girl but I adore your gumption.” Kellan projected the thought into my mind.I stopped fidgeting and smiled up at him.Everyone had quit chatting to stare at us.“What?!” I snapped.Kai cut his eyes at me.He wasn’t happy with my choice of man, but he cared about me too much to abandon me.That’s what he said to me on one visit during my dark days, as I’m now referring to them as.“Clearly it’s four against two now.Kellan, do you know how to fight vamp style?” Kalel took charge.“Of course.”“Fine.Let’s divide and conquer.Rafi pull the area maps.Kai, you and Leka collect the weapons.Gabi, meet with the officers and high circles.We will need back up everywhere.Show them a picture of Leka and Kellan so there are no mishaps.Kellan, come with me so we can get clothes and gear.” We all dispersed according to Kalel’s orders.“Before we go in there, I have to know.What is up with Ralph? There is something very off with him…” I figured now was as good a time as any to get the four-one-one.“So I’m not the only one who thinks he’s a slimey bastard?” he checked.“Nope.I get a very weird vibe from him…”“I don’t trust him.We’ve had words before.I’m the only one who has a problem with him though.The others think he’s great.I’ll admit the man’s brilliant which is why I put up with him, but I question his loyalty.” It clearly was an issue that sat in his mind regularly; and it didn’t sit well from the sounds of it.“Come along.Erase your thoughts.He has a few psychic powers,” Kai warned before we entered the warehouse.We gathered what felt like a little of everything.Ralph approached us of course.“Why hello again Leka,” he greeted.A chill ran through me.“Hi Ralph,” I waved lopsided since Kai was loading me up.“To what do I owe the great pleasure of seeing you again?” He was smiling.It was a bit creepy.It’s like the movies where you know he’s the crooked guy in the good bunch but can’t prove it yet [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
