Part 2

Kol was amused as he observed the girl who was sitting opposite him at the table. They were in a sleazy diner; she had ordered pretty much everything on the menu. Her eyes were closed as she kept taking bites out of everything. He had settled for a cup of coffee, he didn't normally go to places like this.

"So good…" she murmured.

"Yes, I can see you have a healthy appetite."

She opened her eyes and scooped a spoon full of ice cream.

"Yeah. Last meal, you know."

He frowned.

"Why did you want to have it here?"

She shrugged.

"Why not?"

"There are many nicer places. Speaking of which, I thought you said you have no money."

"I don't," she replied and concentrated on her fries.

He raised an eyebrow.

"How are you planning to pay for your food then?"

"I'm not." She looked up and grinned. "I hope you can run fast."

He snorted and took a sip out of his cup.

"That won't be necessary. I'll pay."

"Why thank you, that's sweet." She paused and gave him a sweet smile. "And who says chivalry is dead?"

"Hmm, don't mistake me for a knight in shining armor, darling."

She took a bite out of her grilled cheese sandwich.

"I doubt that knights in shining armor usually have homicidal tendencies, but other than that, you seem like a nice guy. Yam, milkshake!"

Kol couldn't deny that she amused him; he kept observing her as she continued eating.

"I doubt that many people would call me a nice guy," he stated.

She was eating three different kinds of pies now.

"Yeah, I suppose nice guys don't usually kill people." She paused and took a long gulp out her glass. She had ordered four different kinds of sodas. "So, what's your method?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"Are you a strangler, a stabber or what?"

"Vampire," he replied.

He wasn't really sure why he had told her that, perhaps he was curious to see her reaction. She stopped eating and looked at him.

"That's a joke, right?"

He shook his head as the blank veins appeared under his eyes.

"No."

She looked at him for a moment, shrugged and continued eating.

"Well I'll be damned… Vampires actually exist."

He expected her to add something, maybe ask some questions, but she didn't. She seemed to be concentrated on her coke. Again he was amused; she certainly was a strange human.

"So," she said after a long silence. "Twilight or Dracula?"

He frowned.

"What?"

"Which one is more accurate?"

"You can't be serious," he snorted. "Do you honestly think that vampires sparkle?"

She shrugged.

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking. I take it that you don't sparkle?"

"No, I don't."

"Okay."

He looked at her for a moment before continuing.

"You don't have anything else to say?"

"Not really. I guess you'll be sucking my blood then. There are worse ways to go."

He smiled.

"You're a strange girl, darling. What's your name?"

"That's really not important, but if you insist, you can call me Jinx."

"Jinx?" he repeated.

"Yeah."

She emptied one of her glasses and sighed in content.

"Now that was an excellent last meal. Could you leave some tip for the chef?"

He rolled his eyes and motioned the waitress to bring the check.

"Thank you very much," Jinx said to the waitress.

"You're welcome, miss. Have a nice evening."

"I'm sure I will."

Kol followed her as she marched outside.

"So, what now?" he asked.

She didn't reply, she hummed while slowly walking across the street.

"Where are you going?" Kol asked after following her became annoying.

"I need to find something," she replied.

"What?"

She continued walking and finally stopped in front of a convenience store.

"Okay, wait here, I'll be right back," she said and marched in.

"What…"

Kol huffed in annoyance; he was becoming bored with this game. He should just drain her and get it over with. Obviously she was a nutcase. He waited for a moment and was just about to go in when she came back with a baseball bat.

"You stole this?" he snorted.

She shook her head.

"No. The cashier gave this to me. They usually have one of these behind the counter."

"Right. And he just gave this to you?"

She smiled.

"No, I showed him my boobs first. Let's go."

Kol stared at her as she waved her hand in order to get them a cab. She really was a nutcase. He had no problem with that, he liked crazy girls.

"Are you coming, Dracula?" she asked when a cab stopped next to them.

"Where are we going?"

"I have some errands to run," she replied and got into the backseat. "Hello," she greeted the driver.

Kol followed her; she was just giving the driver some address.

"Is that your home?" Kol asked after a moment of silence.

"No."

She didn't say anything else and he didn't ask. She had that weird smile on her face again; her fingers were stroking the bat. He had to admit that he was somehow curious to see what would happen next. The area where they were going seemed to be a suburb. Kol frowned as the cab stopped in front of a nice looking house. Jinx glanced at him and smiled sweetly.

"I'll be right back."

He didn't have a chance to say anything when she was already outside.

"How long is this going to take?" the driver asked.

"I don't…" Kol started when he suddenly heard the sound of a shattering glass.

"Shit!" the driver shouted.

There was a very expensive looking car parked in front of the house, Jinx was smacking it with the bat. She laughed joyfully; she didn't seem to even notice the car alarm going off. Kol got out of the cab that drove away immediately.

"Wow!" Jinx giggled. "This is great! Come and try!"

"I know how much fun baseball bats can be, darling," he replied. "Believe me."

She was still giggling as the front door of the house opened and a man stormed out with a gun.

"Hey!" he shouted furiously. "What the hell!"

Jinx sent him a flying kiss and dropped the bat on the ground before running. Judging by the approaching sirens, someone had already called the police. Kol rolled his eyes. Really?

"Run, Dracula, run!"
