Miss me? No huh? Okay for all my reviewers I have cookies! Okay the plot begins to thicken at this point… so hold on we flying tonight.

Sighs sadly- I do not own the vampires or hunters (except Aaron) happy I admitted it, now kindly do not sue or maim me… on with my excellent story! (big ego huh?)

Jared watched as Ravyn left the bar, before returning to his companion's question. "What kind of bet?" I do not trust him…He is way to smug. "And what are the stakes?"

"Jared, Jared…You truly think I would try to cheat you after all this time? I'm hurt." Silver feigned sorrow while still smirking. "I think you still love the human. So bet simple, You have thirty days to make her admit she loves you. You win you can start trading here in Los Noches. I win, You're my slave for a century. Do we have a deal?"

Jared paused. He knew Ravyn like the back of his hand. He knew her fears, her weaknesses, and her strengths. Manipulating them would be insanely simple. As for the stakes, he could easily force his hand and win the girl and the chance to trade in New Mayhem was an enticing offer. What if he did lose? The idea of being Silvers slave was unappealing to say the least.

"All right. I'll take the bet, but if I win the girl is mine." Jared knew Silver had been eyeing her as a possible fledgling.

"Alright, I can handle that." The vampires shook hands then Jared disappeared to his room.

(HEHE! Now it gets interesting)

Silver smirked watching his companion leave before looking around the bar already bored. Over at the bar Rachel and Fala were having a heated debate. Jager was watching the growing confrontation in silence. Catching Silver's eye he made his way over to the seat Jared had recently vacated.

At Jager's prompting Silver replied "Just a small wager between friends."

"What kind of wager?"

About half an hour later Jager and Silver shook hands and Silver departed leaving Jager at the bar.

On the second floor Jared relaxed in his room thinking of what he how he would trick Ravyn into admitting her feelings for him. He knew they existed just as his feelings for her did. He wasn't sure though whether her new toy Gabriel knew of their association. Glancing at the clock on the far wall he let out a curse it was already nine in the morning. Although his kind could function in the daytime the stronger they were, the harder it was.

Closing his eyes he finally drifted to sleep.
