They were all on another vampire hunt. She at the front, with Danny carrying her, because he had the only jetpack. And Mac, Flack and Hawkes followed, not too far behind. She didn't want to be at the front, but Stella was sick and she was the only one light enough to carry. And they always had to stay in groups of two or three, because the vampires could surprise and kill them. The vampire they were chasing now was one of the dangerous ones, he lived for more than two hundred years now, and most vampires started to lose control and becoming dangerous after one hundred and fifty years. Sure enough, some vampires didn't lose control, but only because they lived far away from humans and didn't have to live so close to the smell of blood, which could make them insane and go hunting. And you had vampires who had a goal in their lives, so they could focus their minds on that instead of on hunting. But that was rare. She got out of her thoughts by Danny almost dropping her, because they flew over them. She heard Danny curse and he contacted Mac. Then she heard him shout something about shooting and remembered the weapons hanging from her belt. There was a risk if she used them. But if she didn't, the others would start asking questions she had no right answers for. She grabbed one at random and then she realized she grabbed the garlic shooter, the most dangerous one that couldn't kill. And it backfired half the time. It was old, and they couldn't really buy new stuff, because it had to be handmade in a far away country and it was expensive too. But she had to shoot and she tried her luck. She shot at the vampire, and luckily it didn't backfire. She even hit him. Danny followed him down and landed after safely dropping her to the ground. Now, time was of the essence, because the garlic wouldn't work long and Mac was the only one with the lethal weapons. Anyone with the knowledge how to could kill vampires, but they made a pact that only Mac would do it, to avoid the risk of going all to prison. She got out of her thoughts when the vampire spoke up. "So, you are going to kill me, huh?" She just hoped he would see the smell as a result of hanging around vampires too much.
"That is none of your business." she countered back. Of course they were going to kill him, of course that was his business, but she didn't felt well. She just wanted this hunt to finish, to be over without something disastrous. Just then the vampire spoke again, a smile on his face. "You are pathetic. Keeping your little secret, hoping for everything to end right. But I have a message for you: it never will. You are stupid for thinking otherwise, Bloodtraitor."
Suddenly, everything went black
In the meantime, Danny had kept an eye on her while looking out for the others. He had heard the short fight, which ended with a word Aiden got mad over. And then the vampire flew back into the air, and to his surprise, Aiden followed him. He blinked while dropping the jetpack. Then he saw the rest coming and he quickly kicked the jetpack away, so they wouldn't see it. "What does she think she's doing!?" he heard Mac shout from the start of the alley. He said she took the jetpack and wanted to try and kill the vampire on her own. Soon the two flying people were only dots in the nightly sky and the hunters on the ground were heading home. "Danny, are you coming?" Hawkes asked.
"You go, I'll stay here for a min to see if she comes back." he replied. He saw the others go and after an hour of waiting he took the backpack and headed home. He was fairly sure he knew what his girlfriend was. And he couldn't blame her for keeping it a secret. But deep inside he hoped he was wrong
Because, if he was right, he had to kill her.
