Part 20

Again. She was at it again? Did that stupid bitch never learn? Someone had been smart enough to put two and two together and finally figure out what had happened.

Another innocent human as well. Who had guessed too late what Scarlet Blackthorn and her stupid friends really were.

Tatania shook her head with disgust. This little human girl Erica probably had no idea what she was really dealing with. According to the Circle Daybreak agent that had called from the high school, a soulmate connection had been discovered between Scarlet and the girl.

Scarlet was in denial, and the human didn't know if she was coming or going.

The human needed her head screwing on straight. Once she learned who her monstrous *soulmate* really was...

Scarlet had probably done a good job of convincing her friends that Tatania was the bad guy. If she'd talked at all, that was, Tatania thought with a smirk.

She couldn't wait to see the look on Scarlet's face when she found out Tatania was back in town. She'd never forgotten the reason why she despised Scarlet so much.

All her little sister had wanted was to be popular, like so many kids, she'd wanted to be part of the 'in crowd', hang out with the gorgeous, exciting rich kids.

She refused to hang out with big sister Tania's group, no way. Tatania shook her head sadly, never forgetting the bitterness and anger she'd felt coming home that afternoon...police swarming the house...Sophia's naked, blood covered body sprawled on the couch like a broken doll...

Scarlet and her bitch friends *laughing* the following day...

The memory was still as fresh as an open wound in Scarlet's mind. Scarlet would *pay* for what she had done.

Revenge was all that had mattered to her. The kidnapping and torture hadn't been as hard as she'd expected, it had been surprisingly enjoyable, and easy - everyone knew what hurt vampires.

Tatania didn't know who else was involved in the actual *murder* but knew Scarlet was the reason why it had happened. Once Scarlet had been satisfactorily humiliated, Tatania had let her go, leaving the bitch bleeding and broken, while she escaped.

From that moment on Tatania had given up on her Daybreak principles, refusing to accept the idea that vampires could be *good.* She had ended up as a self-made assassin, vampire hunter extraordinaire.

And if someone, eve if they were from Circle Daybreak wanted her help in once again, dealing with Scarlet fucking Blackthorn and friends, then Tatania was more than willing to agree.


She cruised around the town, evening, just setting in. The vampires would be coming out soon.

She parked a few yards down from Scarlet's mansion, debating on just going in and staking her, when a sleek red soft-topped car with a gorgeous guy drove in through the gates of the mansion.

Scarlet's new boyfriend? Hmmm...
