A/N: hope you like this chapter, I do not own Maximum Ride, or anything you recognize, but I do own Saber. ;)

3.

"So, we all clear on the plan?" I asked Saber when we reached a club.

"No," he said making things difficult.

"I'll distract the guards, and you sneak in and lure someone out with your charmingness," I told him.

"Okey dokey," he said giving me thumbs up.

I shook my head and started to walk toward the entrance. The guard was big and bulky, and threatening. Causally, I walked over to him. "Hi," I said in the most flirtatious voice I could muster, "so, how's the party in there?"

He pulled down his black shades a tad to see my face better. "What do you want little girl?" he asked clearly in a no bull mood.

I cut the flirting act off and tried another tactic. "I'm looking for a club, and I was wondering if you could tell me why I should come to this one, I want a really good one, one where I'll actually have a good time."

The guard was flustered by my request, but tried to cover it up. "Well…uh…there's the best music, and a good crowd, and," Saber was sneaking behind the guard now, "the drinks are the third best in town."

"Only third best?" I asked unimpressed. The guard was about to say something when Saber turned around right at the entrance and gave me a thumbs up. I was holding the guards eyes, but then I a stupid random girl decided to sneak in with Saber and ended up hitting the chain that closed in the entrance just as Sabe was walking over it. The guard turned his head.

"You get out of there," the guard said taking Sabe by the collar.

When the guard released him, Sabe ran to my side. "So, that's what all this talk is about, you're trying to let him sneak in so you guys can have free liquor."

"No, actually, I was trying to get him in there so we could get free blood, but they're both drinks," I told him, of course he didn't believe me.

"Scram, both of you," he said with a shooing motion of his hands like we were dogs. I was not a dog.

Looking into his eyes through his dark glasses, I commanded, "You are going to let us in, and you won't remember any of what just happened. There will be no arguing, and you won't say anything if we come out with someone, understand?" I could see my eyes reflected in his glasses; they were filled with swirling skulls.

"Alright, go on in," he said, a slight bit confused.

I smiled at him and grabbed Sabe's arm leading him inside. "You go that way, and I'll go over here, if you find someone, catch my eye, and I'll do the same, got it?"

Saber nodded and went off into the crowd, I walked to the bar.

"What can I get for you little lady?" the bar tender asked looking at my hand. I noticed that some of the clubbers had red X's on their hands. Oops, guess I forgot about the legal drinking age. Luckily, I could pass for a very young looking twenty-one year old. "Just a red wine please."

The bar tender winked at me and said, "Coming right up."

A stool beside me squeaked as a person took seat on it. "I like a girl who's not too fancy," the occupant of the chair said.

I turned to look at them. The person was a guy in his young twenties, with bleached blonde hair spiked up everywhere. He had a long black drench coat and black slacks with converses, red ones. I smiled.

"Yeah, I'm a simple girl, not to picky," I said starting up the flirting act.

"Not too picky, aye, what about men?" He asked looking me up and down.

I felt so dirty doing this, but the bloodlust was getting hard to control with all these people around me. Pickers can't be choosers. "I take what I can get," and I looked him over as if I wanted him for something more than food.

The bar tender came back with my drink, but I didn't take it. The guy beside me had a mug of beer beside him, and guzzled half of it down in one gulp. So, he was buzzed already. "Another drink for this guy," I said handing the bar tender a hundred. He happily took it and got the guy another beer.

After about the third drink I'd bought him, the guy's voice started to slur. I guessed it was about time to find Sabe. I looked around and found him talking to a bunch of girls. Catching his eye, I cocked my head toward the back exit. He nodded and excused himself from the pack of girls who were practically drooling all over him.

"You want to go out back?" the guy asked.

Uck, what a sleaze ball. "Exactly what I was thinking." I wouldn't feel bad about taking this guys blood.

We walked out into the alley, and immediately, the sleaze ball pinned me against the nasty back wall of the club. At first I let him do as he liked, kissing my neck, but not my mouth, but then he started touching me. I'm not a slut, and I don't like to be made to feel like one, so immediately, I started to struggle wondering where Saber was.

"What wrong babe, I thought this is what you wanted," he said, his words slurring, the British accent becoming weak.

"Get off me," I said kicking him in the groin. He fell like a sack to the floor.

"You little (insert word of choice), what was that for?" he asked a little more sober.

"For thinking I brought you out here for that," and to make the moment better, Sabe barged through the door right then.

I pointed to the guy, and in seconds Sabe and I had pinned his arms and legs down, slowly moving our mouths to is throat. As soon as my fangs pierced his skin, I felt the flow of blood seep into my mouth, warm and salty. The guy twitched and started to whimper pathetically in pain, so I injected him with the valium implanted in a gland that went through our fangs to calm him down. He started to laugh, and I rolled my eyes.

When Saber and I were done, the guy immediately passed out from either loss of blood, or from being drunk I'm not sure, but Sabe and I got our butts out of there as fast as we could after that.
