~*~ Alright, this chapter is a mix of Nada's pov and Jager's. I had the
sudden impulse to do this so here it is. The ** before an entry is Nada and
the ~~ is Jager's. If you have any trouble, email me! ~*~

Once again, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into until he actually did catch up with me. I didn't like dead things looking at me as I said before, but this was different. He didn't seem dead, or he didn't seem dead until you couldn't feel his breath on your face or his heart against your ear. Damn, what can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic. Well now I am. Personally I doubt that I will find any romance in this place, so it's hopeless right? "So, you were Adrian's newest pet were you?" That silky voice caught me off balance and I had to think for a moment to remember that he was talking to ME.
"Was," I responded finally. "But I won't ever be anyone's pet." The way I said it must have been funny because he chuckled. My heart skipped. Why weren't there any LIVING guys like this? Why am I thinking this? Kicking myself mentally I stopped and glared at him. "Something funny?"

"Maybe," I told her. This girl was so much like Jessica when she was human. Both were put in situations that were rather amusing yet both refuse to give up their simple minded mortal pride. Of course, that pride of Jessica's is what made her as strong as she is. If Jessica hadn't fought, she would be dead. Obviously.
Maybe this girl didn't realize that Jaguar was very skilled at breaking mortals into what he wanted them to be. He never really did it openly like that disgusting Daryl had, but he was always more successful than that now dead dirtball. "Well you know if you want to laugh at something and don't want to tell me about it, keep your mouth shut." Woah. Ms. Attitude Junior. Personally I was close to throttling her but I doubt that Jaguar would appreciate it.
"Is your hair naturally that color?" That question had been nagging me since she stumbled into the dining room less than 10 minutes ago. It looked somewhat red and purple, but her eyes and eyebrows didn't match and so it nagged me. If she was a vampire she could change those too.
"What do you think?" Boy......I'm personally not used to being talked back to by a 14 year old human girl. Jessica I was used to by now, even after she told me that she had a manuscript on me and I tried to take it. There was no way my life can compare to mister "Aubrey".
"I think your hair is supposed to be a dirt brown, like your eyes." Dirt brown is never a flattering color, I admit that. I'm glad that I don't have that color hair. Yuck. No wonder Nada colored it.
"Then why the Hell did you ask?" In a split second, I had her pinned to the wall. My patience and curiosity had snapped.

Oops? Oww? Both? I don't know. His icy cold hands were pinning my shoulders and I shivered. He certainly didn't look happy. Maybe I pushed him too hard? Maybe. But I answered like I always did. Did that offend him? Obviously. And now I felt even dumber. I had to look up at him. To my surprise I wondered how old he really was. He looked 18 but you never knew with this kind of thing. "Vampires in New Mayhem don't have slaves like Midnight, did you know that?" What was he trying to do? Quiz me? Or play "mess with the slave's already messed up mind"?
"Yeah. Turquoise told me." That seemed to be the right answer but he didn't loosen his grip. I wish he would. It was beginning to hurt. But I guess that he didn't care.
"Do you know that we vampires at New Mayhem would kill humans like you for looking at us wrong?" Explanation right there. He wasn't used to being sassed at. Poor Jager. Ok, that was me being sarcastic.
"Now I do. Now let go of me so I can go to my room. Some MORTALS have some sleep to get."
~~~
That struck me. I had just warned her about humans like her getting killed for less, and here she was still being like.....her. What was wrong with me? Why did I care? Humans rarely get under my skin.
Confused with myself, I let her go. How odd was it that the Silver line finds two humans that are so suitable for vampirism in a year? I didn't like it. She did seem surprised that I let her go. Good. Maybe she wouldn't realize how confused she made me. Oh shit. Didn't I catch Aubrey acting like this? And looked what happened there. Fala would kill me if I changed a 14 year old girl. But Aubrey and Jessica are different. She knew about our world and wanted to be part of it. Nada certainly didn't know and doesn't seem to want to be in this world.
"Thank you," she growled at me before walking away. This girl certainly didn't embody a perfect vampire like Jessica had. Confused, I was about to return to the dining room when Jessica appeared in front of me.
"Turquoise is looking for you." She smirked when she saw my look of confusion, no doubt knowing that look from Aubrey. I wanted to smack her but didn't. She could be worse than Fala sometimes, I swear. "Don't worry Jager; you can save her for later. Like when she can drive, or actually grow up." That comment made me glare daggers at her but she smiled innocently or as innocently as she could get. Growling, I left and went to go the meeting room.
