"Caryn Smoke!" I yelled at the SingleEarth building, knowing I could not go any closer to it than I was now. I would be violating the boundaries that have been forced upon me. And I do not want to piss off any more witches.
I saw someone come out of SingleEarth, and I was embarrased when I saw who it was. I could never forget that face, the taste of her blood on my lips. "What do you want vampire?" Devika snapped at me angrily. I drew back as if I had been struck. She had been so kind to me, but I suppose I have changed.
"I thought this was supposed to be a place of peace," I replied as if the comment did not hurt. She knew my name perfectly well. And yet she had called me a vampire as if I was a stranger.
"It is," she answered, "But you're not in here are you?" Before I could respond, she added, "You betrayed your own morals. You gave in to the death. I cannot forgive you for that." That hit home. As most vampires did, I made my face emotionless. I was a heartless vampire to her now, and I always will.
"Where is Caryn?" I asked coldly, leaving no space for the kindess we once shared. Even from back here, 200 yards from her, I could see her hawk eyes glare daggers at me. She and Caryn were friends, and I could only assume she was suspicious of my motives. "I fed before I came here, if that is what your thinking."
"She's not here."
"Don't lie," I growled, my patience coming to an end. "I can sense her aura all the way back here. Don't try to lie to a vampire, shifter."
"Fine," she snapped in reply. "I'll go and get her for you." And with that, Devika spun around and stomped into the SingleEarth.
"Isn't this place supposed to promote peace between species?" I muttered to myself as I took a few steps forward.
"I'd step back if I were you Kairbre." I smirked and looked straight at Caryn. Reluctantly, I did step back. "Good, now what do you want?"
"Well," I began with a smirk, "I heard you were looking for a vampire spy for a certain Sarah Vida." I paused to see her reaction. I saw surprise and anger at the same time. "And I was considering taking the proposition."
"Oh, really?" I heard her voice laced with skeptisism and doubt.
"I haven't gone from kind and caring to completely heartless you know." I saw her pull back at the sound of my pained voice. "A year ago you would be too scared for my own being to even step near a Vida and here I am with this huge scar because of one." I pointed to my scar, which I have been able to heal to a pearly white line across my eye; from the corner of my forehead to my nose in a perfect straight line.
"That makes you look tough," she joked with me as she sat down on the steps. What was this? A Smoke flirting with a vampire? Rather amusing thought, though doubtful.
"Well thank you," I replied with a bow, which resulted with Caryn smiling. I had never understood her. One minute she hates me and the next she is joking with me. "Well, what do you say? You letting me take the job?"
"What do you want in return?" That stunned me. I had not really thought about a pay. But now that she had brought it up.....
"I'll think about that," I finally answered after a few minutes of silence.
"You looked rather pensive right there," Caryn told me. I sat down right where I had been standing, which was the in the parking lot.
"Is that a yes or a no?" I asked, suddenly back to my emotionless state.
"I suppose that is a yes," she replied as she stood up. "I have things to do." That was easy to decipher. Get away from here vampire, our business is done. That was what it meant, or at least in my ears.
"When does my job start?"
"A few days," she answered. I wondered if that was before or after Christopher and Nissa's bash, but Caryn had left before I had gotten a chance to ask.
"Well, I have some personal things myself," I muttered before I brought myself to my hometown.
There was something at the back of my mind that kept on nagging me, I couldn't get rid of it. And the only way of getting rid of it was to go and find out about my family after my death.
