C.I.A. Vampires Chapter 49: Confrontation, Part 3
"What's wrong?" Zac asked, noticing the change in my demeanor."I just can't believe that Abbot didn't protect you while you were visiting," I began, trying to calm myself. "And vamps met him at his home with you there. Very irresponsible of him." Zac shrugged. "I never knew this world existed. He never told me anything about it." We drove through a series of underground tunnels until we finally came to a secluded underground parking garage, dark and lined with gray steel beams, then came to a security guard. I flashed him my ID and he waved me through, getting a good look at Zac, but didn't recognize him. I laughed and shook my head as I found a parking spot near the elevator. "What?" Zac asked, not smiling, unable to see the humor. "Your father's really going to be surprised when he sees you here!" I replied, then looked directly into his eyes, as I turned the ignition off and gave Zac back the keys. With the engine off, the silence was deafening, but I broke the silence w

"That's why I sent Star and Rick," Abbott interjected, then asked, "Is your mother safe?""Yes," Zac said, then added before I could stop him. "Rick and Annie are protecting her.""Annie?" Abbott's demeanor suddenly changed, and his eyes narrowed. "Who's Annie?""Acantha," I replied. "You remember, Acantha. She is now called Annie." "Annie?" Sam Abbott's voice raised several octaves. "Acantha Bree?""Yeah," I replied, my eyebrows pulling together. I knew Annie left the agency years ago, but I didn't understand why Abbott was having a heart attack about it now. If not anything else, you would think he would be happy for the extra protection for his son. "What of it?" "Ms. Starland," Abbott retorted, using the tone I hated. "Abigail, please," I said, smiling sweetly, not letting Sam get to me. "Star," Abbott continued, ignoring my request. "Did you know that she left the agency?"Yes, of course," I responded, my eyebrows pulling together. "But there's no crime in leaving the

"Follow me, Zac!" I ran with him down the hallway, still clutching his hand, to the stairwell. I pushed it open, and looked down, but agents, human and vamp, were on their way up."Not that way!" Zac yelled, as we quickly shut the door. It was too high to jump out the window. I could do it alone. It'd be a piece of cake, but too risky with Zac. Then I had a thought. "Come on!"We ran into a vacant room, then locked and bolted the door. It was an interrogation room with thick steel walls and a thick metal door. The room would buy us at least a minute or two. At the ceiling was an air vent. I abruptly jumped into the air, grabbing the grate covering it, then pulled it down, exposing the air ducts. Zac watched, saying nothing. Holding onto the edge of the hole, I expertly swung my legs up like a trapeze artist until I was safely inside, when agents pounded roughly on the heavy metal door, yelling for us to open up. Hooking my legs into the vent, I reached down and grabbed Zac's exte

Zac nodded, listening. I noticed that everyone must be upstairs because it was settling down in the parking garage. "Come on, let's go," I said, standing up. "But we're going to have to run for it, in case." Then, I helped Zac get to his feet, but he wobbled a bit. "Do you think you can make it?" I asked, knowing he'd been through a lot for one day. "Yeah, of course," Zac replied, stretching a bit. "Sorry, I just needed a minute." I looked him straight in the eye, thinking of his father. "You've been through a lot today." "Let's go," Zac replied, clearly unwilling to talk about it. "Ready?" I asked as he nodded, then I quietly took the vent off and looked around. Suddenly a guard hurried by, so I held the vent cover up again, undetected, until he passed by. "Come on, let's go!" We made a run for Zac's black Hemi Charger RT and quickly slid into the seats. Zac immediately threw it into reverse and we sped toward the exit. Security guards stepped in front of the car with thei

I rocked Zac back and forth in my arms, thinking of the choice I had to make as tears slid slowly down my cheeks and fell onto his lovely face. Then, I remembered the words his father told me not yet a week before, to use any means at my disposal to save his life, if it was necessary. And that's what helped me to quickly make my decision. The words 'if it was necessary'. I knew I had to try anything else first. I just couldn't condemn him to a life of constant thirst unless it was necessary. I pulled the shirt from his glorious body, slid my Ballistics knife from the sheath tied tightly around my ankle, and slit my wrist.Blood quickly coursed from the wound. At once, I held my wrist to his lips, letting my thick, crimson blood drip into his mouth. "Drink, Zac!" I yelled into his ear through my tears. "You have to drink, Zac!" My blood has healing powers for humans and I knew that if I could get him to drink it, maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't have to turn him into a vampire. With his

"Abbey," he said, then looked me square in the eyes. "My mom is there." I nodded, understanding. "Let me get you some place safe, and then I'll check on her." "Abbey, no. There's no time," he replied, then placed his arm across his forehead and closed his eyes. I sighed, finding it hard to refuse him. "Let's get out of here first. We'll talk about it later." Zac nodded, and a moment later, he was fast asleep. The day had definitely taken its toll on him, but rest was the best medicine. It would give the blood I gave him a chance to work. I looked around and saw nothing but an occasional passing car as I started the engine and it roared to life. Soon, I was on I-83 headed toward Cooperstown. I had no intention of taking Zac there, but he needed to be close. I drove for a while, listening to the steady rhythm of Zac's heartbeats, but he never regained consciousness. I knew I had to get him to a safe place ... safe house. And I knew just the place. I took the next exit, and pu

Quickly, I darted to the kitchen, flung open the closet door, and lifted the chest freezer door, set to cool instead of freeze. I stared at Rick's blood bags laying inside, warring with myself. Besides the little bit of Zac's blood I had the other night, it had been years since I had fed on human blood. But at this point, I knew I had no choice. Like Rick said, at least no one died for it. Swiftly, I pulled a blood bag from the freezer, shoved a hard plastic straw into its side, and drained it dry, letting the luscious crimson liquid fill my veins and restore my strength. Immediately, I threw the drained bag into the trash can, pulled another blood bag from the drawer, and drained it dry, too. The delicious liquid slid down my throat, filling my body. And it was probably a good thing I was doing human, as I needed all the strength I could get for what was coming. With human blood filling my veins, my body would metabolize it faster, making me much stronger and faster, giving me an edge

"She'll come," a distinctly male voice said, eagerly pacing. "I hope you're right or else all this was in vain," another male voice replied. "But we can always collect on the million dollar price tag on the kid's head," the first male said. "Leave my son out of this!" a female voice yelled frantically. It had to be his mother. Suddenly, a loud thud hit against flesh as Zac's mother gasped. "How dare you!" his mother yelled through gritted teeth. "When my husband finds out about this …" The second male, obviously vamp, laughed. "You mean your ex-husband," he said, then added, "Besides, how do you know he still gives a damn?""Go to hell!" Zac's mother spat at the vamp. I suddenly realized where Zac got his strength and courage. "Shut up, bitch!" the first vamp yelled, when I stepped around the corner. The vamp had his hand drawn back and was ready to hit his mother again. She was strapped to a heavy wooden chair and her eyes were shooting daggers at the vamp. "And what do we hav

"Come on, everyone!" Rick announced, heading toward the door. "Let's not keep Abbott waiting." He looked at Zac, and added, "Uh ... sorry ... your father." "Hey, don't change anything on my account!" Zac replied with a shrug then took my hand as we walked out the door and climbed into the back of the van along with John. Rick and Annie took the front.Soon, we were on NY-28 S headed toward Washington D.C. when Annie announced, "Hey, maybe we can go shopping in D.C. after we see Abbott." Rick laughed, rolling his eyes and smiling. But this time, I couldn't argue with her. "Sounds good," I replied, as Zac laughed, watching Rick as he moaned and shook his head, rolling his eyes again. "I need some clothes badly." "Oh, goodie!" Annie replied, joyously clapping her hands and bouncing up and down in her seat as I laughed. "Annie, you'll never change," I replied, secretly glad of it. I'd really missed her over the last few years and was glad we were all together again. "But you w

When I finally opened my eyes, the sun was shining brightly through the windows, glistening off the contours of Zac's smooth, beautiful skin. I turned over, draping my arm over him and smiled, closing my eyes. "Good morning, sleepyhead," Zac said with a smile, and then kissed me gently on the cheek. I yawned, stretching before sitting up. It really felt good to relax and rejuvenate my body, especially since Zac was safe and our case was over. "Did you sleep?" I asked, not wanting the moment to end. "No," Zac replied, trailing a finger along my cheek, "but I enjoyed watching you sleep." I rolled my eyes and turned over."Here," Zac said, pulling me to a sitting position. "Time to get up, sleepyhead." "Why?" I asked in protest, then turned over with a smile and curled up on the pillow, shoving it under my head. Zac tried to pull it from me, but we ended up tearing it in half as feathers flew over the bed and I tackled him, laughing, then pushed him back onto the bed with a sm
C.I.A. Vampires Chapter 83: Home, Part 5
Abbott took a seat, knowing what was coming, but said nothing. Zac took his mother's hands into his own, then said, "Mom, I can't stay here. At least, not for a while." Jennifer nodded, taking the news reasonably well. "You know what I am now, Mom," Zac continued, his eyebrows pulling together in concern. "I'm sure Dad told you." She nodded, looking at the table, listening. "Mom, do you understand why I can't live here with you?" Zac asked, worried. "Yes, I understand," Jennifer responded, putting on a brave face. Then, she looked her son directly in the eye. "Son, I know you won't hurt me." "I won't, Mom. You know that," Zac answered, then continued. "But I don't know that. I need a bit of time. I'm new, brand new, so I have a few things to learn first." Zac's mother nodded, as Abbott took her other hand. "Where will you stay, Zac? Where will you live?" Zac looked at me as I nodded, then took a deep breath. "I'm going to stay with Abigail and her family." "But you'
C.I.A. Vampires Chapter 82: Home, Part 4
A moment later, Zac and I pulled out of the narrow driveway and made a left, heading toward town and Annie's house. We said nothing as I pulled in front of the house, hoping no one would notice the bullet holes decorating the side of the car. Regardless, we had tonight and I didn't want anything to spoil it. The house was dark when we pulled up. At vamp speed, Zac came around the car and opened my car door, then scooped me with ease into his arms. His super-human strength was going to come in handy. I wrapped my arms around his neck, letting him carry me to the door. "What's this all about?" I asked as a corner of my lips lifted into a mischievous grin. "What does it look like?" he answered, returning my smile. "I'm practicing carrying you over the threshold." "Practicing, huh?" I asked with a smile. "You still want to marry me after all this?""Marry you? Nah ..." Zac said, smiling, as my face fell slightly. Then, he placed a gentle finger under my chin to lift my eyes to his.

Zac's perfectly-shaped eyebrows pulled together in confusion. "What are you saying? Even my father?"I nodded, smiling. "That son of a ..." Zac yelled, his grief suddenly turning to rage. "Zac, now wait a minute," I replied, cutting him off. "V said your father tried to call you, but we were already on the road and he couldn't get hold of us." Then, I thought for a moment and added, "The cell phones are in the glove box. We'll have to ditch them soon, but go ahead and call them. I'm sure they'll answer." "But what about other shape shifters?" Zac asked, looking at the black cell phone he'd just pulled from the glove box. "Zac, Drake's dead," I replied, then smiled. "We're the only ones left. Just you and I." Zac nodded, and then looked at the cell one more time. "No, I'll call them tomorrow." Then, a thought appeared within his mind. "Do you think it's safe to go back to Cooperstown now?" "Well, Drake's dead and I'm sure word will get around that who was going to pay is de
C.I.A. Vampires Chapter 80: Home, Part 2
Slamming the car door, I expertly wheeled the Challenger around, running over another rogue vamp in the process. I stopped the car on the corner where Rick, Annie, and John were waiting, taking down rogue vamps as shots of gunfire resonated throughout the neighborhood. It wouldn't be long, and the humans would respond. The men in blue would be crawling all over us in the matter of minutes. Quickly, I slung open the trunk and Rick and Annie were beside me in an instant, ripping open the cases. "Yes! A Gatlin gun!" Rick yelled, taking it from the case. "Good girl!" he yelled as he quickly loaded the bullet belt into it, then pulled it into his arms with ease, slinging the bullet belt over his shoulder. Annie, Zac, and John pulled weapons from the black leather cases, loading up, then quickly turned to stave off the rogue vamps coming toward us. Quickly, I flung open a case, finding what I was looking for, a grenade launcher. Pulling it from the case, I quickly loaded it with a case o

Feeling was slowly returning to my body, allowing me to sit up. I looked over at Zac and relief filled his eyes. I smiled, knowing he would be fine. "Well, aren't you worried about me at all?" another voice came from the landing; a voice I would always know, pulling my attention momentarily away from Zac. "Rick! You're alive!" I exclaimed, turning to face him. And John was on his heels, smiling. "Of course! What did you think? That I was going to die and let you have all the fun?" Rick asked, sitting on the ground beside me. "John came back for us. Once we dug out the bullets, Verus and I healed pretty quickly." Then, he ripped open his shirt. "You wanna see?""Please, Rick!" I exclaimed, shielding my eyes. "Too much info!" Rick laughed, until he saw Annie lying lifeless upon the floor. "Annie!" he exclaimed as he ran to her side. Slowly, I got to my feet and followed. Rick knelt beside her and I knelt on her other side as tears filled my eyes. For here was Annie-my friend Aca

"You'll never be the one to break me, Clark," I replied, my eyes narrowing. "We shall see," he replied with a sneer lighting his lips, clearly amused. "You see? My experiment was a success," Drake said, looking over at Zac. "And now that I have him, what do I need with you?" He then knelt over my body, with a knee on either side. He looked closely at the knife's long blade, then into my eyes. "Now that I know all I need is your blood, or his, what do I need you for?" Then a sneer lifted the corner of his lips. "After all, he's filled with your blood." "Get it over with, Drake," I taunted, my eyes flaring. "Go ahead and kill me. You always were a coward." Drake's eyes narrowed. "Coward? I am no coward!" So, I'd struck a nerve. "Years ago, my father invited you into our house to talk rationally, but you were too much of a coward to comply. Obviously, you were too scared to come into the house because you didn't know if you were outnumbered or not." I took a breath, feeling it go
C.I.A. Vampires Chapter 77: Time to Die, Part 3
I looked at Zac, and then at Annie. "Let's do it," I replied. Together, we fired our Uzis at every vampire in the room. "I want Star and the boy alive! Kill the blonde!" Drake yelled over the gunfire suddenly exploding within the room. Within a second, the vamps rushed us, and we took them all down. Zac ripped the heads off some, then shot another, placing the pistol right between the guy's eyes. Annie's karate and jujitsu moves were unsurpassed as she moved with lightning speed, ripping apart the vamps in her wake. As for me, I ripped apart every vamp in my way, blowing the heads off any who got in my way as I made my way purposefully across the room, my eyes never leaving Drake. Suddenly, Annie was shot in the chest, throwing her to the ground face down, but my eyes never left Drake. Venom filled my mouth in anticipation of the kill. I took my time, killing any vamps who got in my way, as I walked purposefully toward Drake. The corner of my lips curled into a menacing smile, as f
