OK, heres the 4th chapter! I've got no reviews for my last chapter :( sniffle

His eyes were the vampiric white and filled with no emotion, just hunger. To be honest, I was a bit frightened of him. He looked like he wanted to tear someone to pieces and devour them. He paused for only a few seconds to choose his prey. His eyes fell on Beth who was huddled against the wall eyes wide, easy prey.

The feral vampire lunged at Beth. Mick intercepted him with inhuman speed. They fell to the ground rolling over each other into the bedroom. I ran to help. When I entered the room Mick was thrown against a wall hard. I leaped onto the vampire and knocked him down. He quickly got up and jumped towards me aiming for my neck with his mouth open. I stepped to the side and something crunched under my feet. I looked down quickly to see large pieces of glass scattered on the floor. Perfect. I grabbed an especially large and sharp piece and held it like a knife facing the other vamp. As soon as I turned around he charged at me, I quickly side-stepped, got behind him, grabbed him and sliced his head clean off. The head rolled away. His body stayed standing for a moment then fell to the ground, which kinda creeped me out.

Mick got up from the floor,"Nice."was all he said then went to check on Beth.

I followed him out of the room. Beth was sitting against the wall holding her left arm.

"Are you OK?" Mick asked, clearly concerned.

She started to nod her, but quickly shook it instead,"My arm...I think it's broken."

"C'mon, We'll get you to the doctor." Mick said helping her up, being careful of her arm.

After Mick called the Cleaner they left for the doctor. Once the doctor had put a cast on it he said,"Your arm is broken in 3 places Miss Turner, how did you say this happened?"

"I tripped on a curb and fell..."she lied.

I smiled at the doctor,"Yeah, she's very clumsy, we probably need to go ahead and put her in a wheel chair,"I teased. Beth turned to glare at me and I just smiled innocently.

We arrived back at Mick's apartment exhausted from our long day.

"Drinks?"Mick asked us.We nodded. He poured two glasses of blood and a glass of water.

I finally let out a long sigh I'd been holding in awhile now,"I'm glad that's over."

"What? I thought you've always wanted to be a private investigator?" Mick said smirking.

I glared at him,"I didn't say it wasn't fun." I answered grinning.

He smiled and turned to Beth who had been sitting quietly lost in her own thoughts,"Beth, how's your arm?" he asked attempting to bring her into the conversation.

She looked up at him and smiled,"It could be worse."

We all laughed a little. Suddenly I heard the door unlocking. Seconds later in walked a vampire with light-colored hair and wearing an expensive business suit. We all stared at him, and he stopped in his tracks, staring back.

"What? Having a party without me, Mick?"he said sarcastically.

Mick just turned to me and said,"Kate this is Josef, Josef meet my assistant Kate."

"Nice to meet you,"he said and added,"You're very pretty."

I extended my fangs and growled at him

"Feisty."commented Josef smirking.

I rolled my eyes,"Is there a reason you're here?" I asked.

"I can't come over to my best friends place just to hang out?"he asked innocently.

"What do you want Josef?"Mick demanded.

"I just wanted to know if you knew anything about all the deaths caused by vampires lately." He replied.

"That was partly the case we just closed, they were caused by a feral vamp named Jack Garland. Thanks to her,"he said pointing at me,"he's dead now."

"Pretty and a good fighter, Mick she's a keeper." Josef said grinning. He walked over to Mick's kitchen and poured himself a glass of blood and came over to sit next to Mick on the couch.

I looked over at Beth wondering why she wasn't talking, she was asleep. She must have been more tired than I thought. I nudged her. Her eyes opened quickly and she sat up and yawned, noticing Josef.

"Hey...when'd you get here?" she asked sleepily.

Josef checked his watch,"5 minutes ago."

"I think I'll go guys, I'm tired." she said,"Bye."

She got up and left after everyone said their good-byes and I was left alone with Mick and Josef. We talked for a long time about random things. Finally Josef left to go back home after getting a call about something to do with work and Mick and I were the only two left. I remembered I was going to ask him something.

"Mick,"I said shortly after Josef left,"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what is it?" he asked.

"How come you hired me as your assistant even though you just met me?" I asked curiously.

He thought for a moment and began speaking,"Well, when I bumped into to you I noticed someone standing farther off down the hall watching you. He had been following you I'm sure. He was a vampire, and older vampire. he looked like he intended to kill you, or capture you. You can't fight him and win, not alone atleast, so I decided to make you my assistant so I could look after you."

I took this all in slowly. A vampire? Following me? Why? And why hadn't I noticed him? What did I do to make myself a target of someone else? A million questions ran through my head,"But you dont even know me." I said.

"So? Are you saying I should have let that vampire have you just because I don't know you?" He asked

"Well...Why didn't you tell me, Mick?" I demanded.

"I didn't want to make you turn around and confront him, and possibly provoke him to attack you."he replied.

I nodded in understanding. Thats probably exactly what would happen. Through the window I saw the sun peaking barely over the buildings,"I better go. Call me when you get a new case Mick,"I said, gave him my number and walked out of his apartment.

I decided I'd walk home. Mick actually didn't live too far away from me. I put on my sunglasses as the rays of the sun started to light the sky. I looked over my shoulder multiple times. Now that I had the knowledge of a stalker, I became more cautious. Suddenly the feeling of being watched swept over me. A minute later I was grabbed by a very strong hand and thrown down. No one was on the streets yet, so nobody witnessed the attack. I got up quickly and whirled around to face a very imposing vampire standing a few yards away from me.

OK, it's short again sorry, but heres the deal. If you want the chapters to be longer that means slower updates. So review and tell me if you want longer chapters & slower updates or shorter chapters & faster updates.

Thanks for reading! please review!
