Chapter 10

Vicki's P.O.V.

As Saturday rolled around, I was becoming anxious. I was furious that Henry wouldn't let me go to Crave. Yes he was right about me being in danger, but that didn't mean that I couldn't be in the area right? Well regardless of what Henry said, I was going to make sure I saw everything that goes on inside that club. I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. If I was going to do this, I would need Mike's help.

"Now what do you need my surveillance cameras for again?" Mike asked as we walked down the hallway of the police station.

"I need to see what goes on at Crave tonight. But if I get anywhere near the club, the vampires would sense my powers, and the whole plan would be ruined. So I need a way to be there without actually being there." I explained.

Mike raised an eyebrow.

"Keeping an eye on Henry huh?"

I rolled my eyes in response.

"Just asking." He replied, as we stopped at the supply room and he opened the door.

"So do you think you can put the hidden camera's in before tonight?" I asked.

"It should be easy enough. I'll go back and get the camera tomorrow and bring it by your house so you can watch the action." He answered, pulling out some equipment.

"Excellent."

Dawn's P.O.V.

As I drove to Henry's house, I could see the sun was already going down. I was nervous, but yet excited. This would be a big break in the case if we could get Valium to talk. Something told me I'd have to be the one to 'persuade' Vallium to talk.

Finally I reached Henry's house. The sun had long set, and I hoped he'd be up by now. I rang the doorbell and waited. The door soon opened, and there stood Henry…shirtless with light blue jeans on and barefoot.

"Hey." I said, trying to hide the blush creeping up my face.

"I just finished showering." He replied with a smile.

"Yes, I can see that." I answered, my eyes scanning his pale sculpted chest.

"Come in, we've got a lot to do." He said, leading my inside.

"Ok, so what's the first order of business?" I asked as we walked upstairs.

"Well since you're going as my human pet," Henry said, pausing to put on a black T-shirt, "we're going to have to act like you've been my pet for some time." He explained.

"Meaning?"

"I'm going to be touching you, and you can't show any signs of fear or nervousness."

"So I have to like it?" I asked.

"Yes."

This might be a little more than I bargained for.

"So…how exactly would you be touching me? I need to be prepared." I asked, slightly nervous.

"Let's do a test run. While we're in the club, I may do something like this…" Henry whispered, suddenly behind me. He put his hands on my wais and I felt his fangs graze my neck.

My pulse skyrocketed.

"See, that's what I mean. The way your pulse increased would excite any vampire in the room." Henry said, still close behind me.

'Does that include you?' I thought, not trusting my voice just yet.

"I've learned to control myself Dawn. I need you to trust me." He said, his lips on my skin.

"Ok." I replied, taking a deep breath.

He gently kissed my neck, and his hands slid around my waist and went up my shirt, stopping at my stomach. I leaned my head back into him, and as his hand rested on my belt buckle, it took all I had not to moan.

"That was good. Just remain relaxed and everything will go as planned." He said, pulling away from me.

"Now the next think I need to teach you is how to block your thoughts from other vampires." Henry said.

"What do I have to do?"

"You will know when someone is trying to read your mind because there will be slight pressure in your head. What you want to do is fight against that pressure and push it back. Let's try it." Henry said.

He began staring at me and just like he said, I felt a slight pressure in my head.

"Do you feel it?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Fight it." He instructed.

At first I didn't know how, but I just imagined a wall in my mind and it seemed to be working because the pain was going away.

"Excellent. You blocked your thoughts completely. Now you have to be aware of that pressure all the time. You never know when someone may be watching you." Henry replied.

I nodded.

"Well, its 8 o'clock now." I said, glancing at the clock.

"I guess we should get ready then." Henry replied.

Henry's P.O.V.

As Dawn went into the bathroom to get ready, I put on a black silk buttoned-down shirt with the top two buttons undone, and dark blue denim jeans. Once that was done, I lounged on my bed and watched TV. At 8:17 Dawn finally emerged.

I was shocked.

Her normally straight hair was curly and not thin at all. Her greenish-grey eyes stood out with her smokey eyeshadow and her lips looked positively delicious with blood red glossy lipstick. She had on the outfit that we picked, but added one of her own arm bracelets. Her slender legs were smooth, and that perfume! It was intoxicatingly sweet.

I wanted to ravish her right then and there.

"Amazing…" I said, walking over to her.

"You don't look too bad yourself." She said smiling.

"Thank you." I answered, smiling back.

"Well I guess we should get going, huh?"

"Yes, let's go." I replied as we grabbed our coats and left.


Broken: Sorry for the wait you guys!

Dawn: Took you long enough!

Henry: What do you expect? She's on punishment!

Vicki: You should be greatful she's sneaking on now.

Dawn: Ok, Ok! Sheesh, one sarcastic comment and everyone wants to bite my head off.

Broken: Review Please!
