Part 10
Cayla slammed her bedroom door shut. Ugh, these stupid Daybreakers were so *annoying!* They were trying to be helpful, but they were really starting to piss her off. She tossed a hard backed book against the wall.
She was too frustrated to start thinking about how hard this was going to be. She'd trusted Shania and the bitch had gone blabbing. How the hell was she supposed to get anything done with Poppy, Thea and Maggie watching her every move.
She couldn't stay here, it was too much.
She stormed out of the room, managing to avoid people as she looked for an exit that wasn't obvious like the front or back door.
"Oh, Cayla, there you are, wait a sec."
Cayla gritted her teeth, hearing Lady Hannah's voice. "What?"
"There's someone I want you to meet."
Cayla wasn't in the mood to meet new people. She turned around to find herself facing a girl who wasn't all that different from her. The girl was average height, thin, with long wavy hair a shiny blue-black. Her skin was camellia pale, her eyes large and dark.
"This is Ocean Geller. She's had some issues with Ardon Redfern as well."
"Uh-huh." Cayla glared at the girl, folding her arms.
Lady Hannah waited a moment, looking from one to the other. "Okay," she said after a few moments of tense silence. "I'll leave you guys alone." She hurried off down the corridor.
"Whatever went on I don't want to know," Cayla said bluntly. "Your issues are your problem."
"Issues being I think he's a cold hearted bastard who gets what he deserves. And something needs to be done about that bitch of a girlfriend of his,"
Diamond blinked. She hadn't been prepared for that. "Okay, starting to be more interested."
Ocean shrugged. "I was something quick and easy - until he found out I was a werewolf," she said bitterly.
Cayla was surprised. "You're a werewolf too?"
Ocean grimaced and nodded. "It's so pathetic the way snooty upper class vampires automatically dismiss us."
Cayla nodded, wondering how Hannah had managed to find someone with the same feelings as she had. "How'd you get here, anyway?"
Ocean waved dismissively. "Not important. You want to make Astara Blackthorn suffer. Ardon deserves whatever he gets. I want to help."
Cayla hadn't been prepared for anyone wanting to help. She hadn't thought there'd be anyone who understood. Her anger had evaporated, her mood vastly improving.
Ocean's lips were curved in a mean smile. "I have a few ideas."
Cayla chuckled. "Me too. I'm sure we can work something out."
