Hi!
Once more, does anybody want to guess how the chapter titles are related? For a virtual cookie of course :3
Anyway, reviews are appreciated!
Going to try and stick to 1-2 POVs per chapter
Just found out there's going to be a Morganville collection of short fiction released March 2016 :)
And last thing: I really, really, really dislike the character of Jesse, so can we imagine she does not exist in my fic? And Sam is alive. He never died. It was faked. (At least in my fic). Tell me what you think. I can always add Jesse if you really want...
Oh, and very last thing: I'm really tired today, so apologies for quality. And my A/N is probably confusing too... Meh.
Amelie's POV
I wondered what information the young vampire could possibly have? I was extremely interested actually, but tried to seem the opposite.
'What can you have to offer? We have the greatest scientist in the world, we have a working system, we have a sufficient town. We need no more.' I said, but with a hint of a question in there.
For some reason, he glanced at my wedding ring. Why on earth did he? Or was I over-thinking things? Of course, there was probably no reason behind it!
'You're a night-walker,' he told me.
Well I knew that! As I believe youths would say, "Duh!"
'Of course!'
'But would you not prefer to... Walk in the sun?'
What did he just say?
Myrnin, my friend and scientist had been working on that before the disease got to him. For centuries, he experimented and discovered... and failed. He tested the rare vampires who could walk in sunlight, but nothing came of it.
How had a vampire of barely 100 found a way to walk in the sun? I assumed it was just his companion who was immune to the sun's rays, but... Maybe daywalkers weren't so rare where they came from... Mystery Falls was it? Or maybe Mystic Falls.
'How?' I said shortly, 'Daywalkers are rare. There is one in a town nearby, but none here in Morganville. You are either re-born that way, or you're not.'
'Ah-ah-ah,' he started, as if to correct me. Correct me!
I raised one eyebrow, but he was not phased in the slightest. He just continued.
'Now, I could tell you how to get one of these,' he held up his hand, on which was a blue ring with a sort of crest.
'Or,' he took his hand down suddenly, 'I could let you burn...'
He put on a fake sympathetic look.
I growled. How dare he show me this little respect? How dare he talk to the Founder like this?
'Oh, but I also thought you might want to know of a danger to vampires. Just in case it followed us here,' he added, then leaned closer and whispered, 'It's worse than draug.'
I was startled by that news.
Claire's POV
The smell. The sight. The touch and taste of it trickling down my throat. I wanted more. I grabbed onto the container and sank my new teeth in.
Blood. Blood. Blood.
The scarlet liquid was divine. But I had had my fill after two blood bags.
I had never felt better in my life. My eyes felt fresh, and my vision was one-hundred-and-ten percent better. In fact, all my senses, feelings, they were heightened. It was great! I felt free and powerful.
I never wanted it to end.
And it probably wouldn't.
Tell me what you thought, pleasure to read :)
PS: I think the town was called Blacke? But I wasn't sure so I didn't put it in.
2PS: Do you still want song recommendations? Forgot to ask at the start of the book.
Have a nice day, night, sleep, whatever :)
