*Not all this material is mine folks*
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I hear an extremely obnoxious tapping on my window.
"Audra, let me in!"
I knew the voice too well. Jaguar. He still would not call me by my true name, for reasons he would not say.
"I'm sorry, I don't take through-the-window solicitors," I replied, mocking his extreme attempt to stay on the tree branch that conveniently came right to my 2nd story window.
" I have to see you, Audra."
"Audra, Audra, uh, nope, no Audras here!" I said, helping him through the window. "You do realize if Karen, or anyone else catches you in here you will die, right?"
"Which is why I'm not going to get caught now am I?"
"Now why would I do such a thing as to scream out that there's a vampire in a witch's house?"
"I don't know, but you better not!"
"Relax. I would never do that to you, or me for that matter."
"Are you saying you love me?"
"You aren't that lucky. Now get out the window before they sense you aura, or whatever shit these crazy people think that they know. I'll come see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Fine by me. Now that Jeshicka's gone, you can come anytime you want."
"Get out of this house right now, or I'll-"
"Or you'll what?" And with that he gave me a kiss and jumped out the window.
Wishing I had never taken Karen's offer to come live with her, I go back to my room of darkness. Karen, her mother, and triste, were all living under the same roof with me, a vampire hunter. After my ordeal with Jaguar and Jeschika, the two most powerful vampires in the area, who had rebuilt the ever so infamous vampire town of Midnight, Karen and her mother would not let me out of their sight. Even though I was the leader of the most powerful branch of Bruja vampire hunters, they still considered me a traitor for falling in love with a vampire. They watched me day and night, and my first night home, they wouldn't even let me sleep alone. I had to have Karen sleep in the pull out bed, next to me.
I was still debating whether or not to actually become a vampire. It would mean that I could be with Jaguar forever. And I would be very strong, according to Jaguar's view. Even though he would not change himself, I was sure I could get Nathaniel to do it for me, for money of course. It was very tempting.
"Jessica, dear. Are you awake?"
"Yes. I am."
"Okay. Just checking."
Well, getting two hours sleep would be very useless at this point, so I decided to try to add some chapters onto my next book, Black Crystals. While typing away at my laptop, I realize that I have way too many names. Audra, Turquoise, Jessica. Geez, this was getting confusing. For some reason all of this thinking tired me out, so I lay down in my bed, pulled the black sheets up to my next, and fell into, what seemed like, an endless oblivion of sleep.
