Alec's POV
Maureen's laughter rang through his ears the laugh was of pure joy and domination. Never had I heard this laugh from a downworlder when they knew I was listening.
"You…killed Camille?" I choked
"Why of course silly. That's what I just said" she replied, a look of annoyance crossing her face. Before I could react she had closed the distance between us. In one swift motion she dug her high heel into my foot, breaking several bones in an instant. Then she spun me around while her heel was still crushing my foot, affectively breaking my ankle, and pushed my arm behind my back until it was both dislocated and broken.
"You need to learn how to pay attention, Alec" Maureen said, the sweetness returning to her voice.
"You should take some anger management classes, Maureen" I tried to smile sarcastically, but all I could manage was a grimace.
Maureen's face shadowed. "Should I keep you around for my snack? You can be really annoying."
At that moment Maureen dropped me like a soccer ball and kicked me. I passed out before I hit the wall, but all I could think about was…Magnus.
Maureen's POV
Alec lay in a bloody heap near the wall. You could see his chest just barely rising and falling in rhythm with his shallow breathing.
"Time to begin", I said to no one in particular
I used my, now sharp as steel nail, to slice a thin line down my unmarked arm. I walked over to Alec and let a few drops of my blood fall into his open mouth. He moaned softly. My arm continued draining into his mouth until he was choking on it. I knew he had swallowed.
And now for my favorite part, I thought. I pushed his head to expose his bare neck. I saw the light vibration in his throat. My mouth began to water. I smiled just the tiniest bit as my fangs brushed my bottom lip. In less than a second I had grabbed him off the floor and sunk my teeth into his neck.
