Chapter One
H
er long raven black hair blended into the shadow she hid in. Eyes the colour of sea blue that could seduce anyone into her grasp. Mary was her name human name before they changed her. But as they put it, it was faith that brought her to them.
Faith... She frowned. That's my name now.
Faith was different from everyone in her kind. She had other blood running through her. And it was because of this blood that led her to where she was now.
Faith smiled slightly as her victim appeared before her. Come to the alleyway. Her voice echoed into the victim's mind. Come to me.
Her victim had a blank stare on his face as he went to her.
Sleep. She whispered as the victim approached her.
He closed his eyes and collapsed in her arms. Faith brought her mouth to his throat and began to feed.
The rich blood filled her mouth. Faith soon pulled away and dropped the man onto the ground, scarcely breathing, but still enough blood in him to live.
Faith reached into his mind and erased the memory of how he got there away then placed false reasons why.
"You got mugged." Faith muttered into his ear, then pulled out his wallet from his back pocket. Faith took all of the cash and threw the wallet in his lap, then left.
Kris paced in his room at the local bar, Los Noaches. Where is she? Kris frowned.
Just as he was calling her, Faith appeared in the room.
"Where have you been?" Kris sighed with frustration.
"Feeding." Faith casually said, then sat down on his bed.
"Stand up Faith. Aubrey is coming." Kris glared at Faith.
"Let him come. Aubrey is not the master of me." Faith laughed slightly.
"Says who?" Aubrey appeared behind Kris.
Kris moved away as fast as he could.
"Say I." Faith stood up, "I'm sick of living in your shadow Aubrey. You may have changed me, but you can't command me."
Aubrey snickered, "Very lippy aren't we?" He moved toward Faith, but she stood her ground. Aubrey caught her chin with his hand and pulled her head to face him, "Listen you wretch. You may have witch blood in you, but I do own you, unless you want to face the world disowned and have your ex-clan kill you. Do you want that?"
Faith, now staring wide-eyed at Aubrey shook her head, "No Aubrey." She sneered.
Aubrey smiled and pulled out his silver knife and slowly cut Faith's shoulder bone. Faith screamed out in pain.
Aubrey pulled away and replaced the knife in his leather jacket, "Now don't you ever lip of to me again. Got it Faith?"
Faith glared at Aubrey, and he left the room. She collapsed on the bed and held her hand to her wound. Kris came running over to her.
"Let me see it." Kris muttered and pulled away Faith's hand, "Damn it Faith, you had to lip off to him. Didn't you? I'm calling for Jesika."
"Don't Kris. Aubrey's right. I can leave if I want to and I am going too." Faith stood up and went to the only dresser in the room.
"You can't go out there alone Fay. I won't let you. I'm going to come with you." Kris looked at Faith.
She made a small smile. Thanks Kris.
The two began to pack what little they had in the schoolbook bags they owned.
