Werm

Jack had taken the number from me, but I already had it memorized. I didn't pay any kind of attention to my enviornment after Jack dropped me back off.

That's probably why I got my ass kicked into last week by that crazy looking dude they called Jager.

I walked behind the bar to snag myself a drink and when I stood up there was suddenly a fist in my face.

Due to the harm I fear it will cause to my mind and the memories it will bring back, I won't give details, but I will say this: It was bloody, it was painful, and it was extremely one sided.

When it was all over I was sure I was dead. Then when I realized I was alive I thought I would die of mortification. I had never, even as a human gotten my ass kicked that badly.

Jager looked down on my painfully and uncontrolably shaking body and smiled.

"Aubrey saus hello, and to stay far away from Andros. She belongs to him. Literally. This was just a warning. If he catches her around you again, I'll be back and I won't hold back then. Bye-bye!" With that he vanished.

It took me, like, five minutes, but I managed to get up so I could clean the blood off the floor. Then I grabbed a bag of cold blood and went down the stairs to my room. I was gonna be hell of sore in the evening.

Andros

After being brought to the building that had the most power surrounding it, and telling Aubrey off mentally for showing up too soon, I went back to the little house I had just finished constructing in a nearby wood to change into something a bit easier for me to look at myself in. Sure it was skimpier, but it had a sense of danger that a short black dress and stilettos just didn't have. At least I could hide more weapons in this outfit.

I was just moving my shortdagger from my dress to my shirt when I realized... My favorite blade was missing!

I did a quick recap of the car ride and realized the boy must have taken it.

So he wanted to play a game. I wouold show him a game he would never forget.

I scrawled my number on a piece of paper and went back to the house where Aubrey (curse his very body) was still intimidating the feeders.

I looked Aubrey in the eyes,

The point of us comming here was to find the alter, not get ourselves exposed or killed.

I doubt they could kill us. He answered.

They can't but the goddess girl here can. I retorted.

"Play nicely. I seem to have-" I paused at Aubrey's furious looka s he saw what I was going to say.

Oh get over it. I told him.

"To have... misplaced my blade. And besides,I'm hungry. We can continue this conversation later." I looked meaningly at Jager, who I know would be keeping an eye on the two main feeders.

No intefering. We don't want to make this any worse than it is.

No Problem. He looked like he wanted to roll his eyes. I would speak to him later.

"Say, at the Portal in three hours?" I continued.

The young one- I couldn't remember his name- mentioned their aversion to the sun.

I cahnged the plan to sundown that night and flicked the paper with my number to the boy. He caught it with an amazed look on his face.

We all went back to the house to decide where to hunt... or so I thought. As soon as I was physically whole again, Aubrey rabbed me by the throat and shoved me against the wall, shattering my windpipe.

I looked at him furiously through the pan.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, giving him your number? Are you stupid? Did you forget that this body is mine?" Even in anger his beauty was magnificent. Unfortunately- for him- it no longer served to get him out of trouble with me.

"It's called a front." I answered when my windpipe had fixed itself back to its normal shape. "If at least one of us sees nice they just might help us. It's a strategy dumb ass. If you weren't such a mud for brains you wouldn't have made them suspicious. It's bad enough I had to bust their bubble on the whole 'more than one vamp' thing." I walked into my room. I knew he was behind me. There was never a time he wasn't.

"Next time, run it by me." He said.

"No. You should have seen it. Now, I'm going to Holly wood to hunt. Are you going with me or are you going to further fuck up our mission?"

He didn't answer me, so I vanished.

It was eleven thirty in Hollywood, so a lot of the younger kids were out and about for the evening. I never caught up with Aubrey, and he was in bed before me- I got home at about seven eastern time. I wordlessly climbed in bed next to him and fell into the oblivion Lunar vampires call sleep.
