Thank you so much to everyone reading. I've gotten a better response to this one than I thought I would. Hope you continue to enjoy. On to chapter 10
Ally POV
I slept through the entire flight, only waking up when we landed to refuel. By the time we made it to Atlanta, I was fully awake, alert and ready to fight. I really needed a good distraction.
Unfortunately, I didn't get one.
The vampire army we were sent to eliminate turned out to be only two guys. The army managed to kill itself out by the time we arrived. We took out the remaining newborns and burned all the pre-torn pieces. It took a total of 15 minutes. The whole event was really depressing. I didn't even get to phase.
"Well, that was seriously anticlimactic." Felix bitched, leaning against a nearby tree as he watched the purple smoke rise. "It wasn't even fun."
I was laying on the ground, with my eyes closed and my hands resting over my stomach, deep in thought. I stayed like that for what could have been hours, but I'm sure was only a matter for 15-20 minutes. I remained perfectly still until I felt someone start tapping my forehead very lightly with a fingertip.
"You gonna lay there all night, or do you want to do something?"
I opened my eyes to see Alec standing over me, his face upside down and only an inch away from mine. He continued to tap my forehead.
I sighed, swatting his hand away, proceeding to lift myself off the ground and brushing myself off. "And what would you like to do, my dear Alec?"
Jane stepped into view and stood next to her brother.
"Well, Demetri and Felix have already gone back to the plane, so we decided we wanted to go catch a quick snack at one of the local clubs. Interested?"
"Gee, let me think, go wait in the plane with Dem and Felix or go to a club with you." I made a face like I was actually considering my options. "Of course I'll go with you two. I'll help you run your game and I can get a drink. Maybe if I drink fast enough I can catch a buzz and stop thinking for a few minutes."
Jane was almost bouncing with excitement. "It's been so long since we hunted in a club. This is going to be so much fun!"
An hour later we found ourselves in the loud music and dim lights of a local club. We picked a table by the side exit, so we could see everyone and make a quick exit if needed. I sat facing away from the dance floor, sipping some fruity concoction Jane had gotten for me. She liked to order me strange drinks. I think she must have been trying to enjoy them vicariously through me. I closed my eyes and allowed the loud music and sharp smells to distract me. I could hear both Alec and Jane sitting quietly at the table with me. They were scouting the humans, looking for the right targets. It was kinda fun watching the siblings hunt. They really were masters at their craft.
"Well, this night just got a whole lot more interesting." Jane commented, grabbing my wrist tightly to get my attention. "Don't look behind you, but I think some of your relatives just walked in."
My eyes flew open and it took a colossal effort not to swing around completely. I checked to make sure my tinted glasses were covering my eyes and subtly turned just a fraction, enough to see the doorway to the club. Sure enough, standing in the doorway was Emmett and Rosalie. I whipped back around.
"Fuck. What in the hell are they doing here?" I hissed under my breath. I gave Jane a fierce look. "We need to leave, now. I'm not ready to deal with this. I don't know if I smell the same as I use to, but I don't want to stick around to find out." We all stood and made a break for the side door. It was locked, but that didn't even slow us down. I turned to look again. This was a mistake. Just as I was looking at Emmett, he looked up at me. We slipped out before I could confirm if he recognized me or not...
