I strolled along the street eagerly as I looked round for signs of peril. The atmosphere felt extremely strange, and I sensed as if possibly something was going to burst out at me. I closed my eyes and focused on my senses.I should not have encountered so much difficulty. I was a Hunter and a formidable one at that. My family had a prestigious popularity for having the fiercest vampire killers ever, yet I rarely lived up to those principles.I turned my head quickly as I detected the sound, noises too subtle for a mere human to recognize. He loomed behind me. Rex. I had been chasing him for over two weeks now and he kept on escaping from me each time. Rex was a very deadly vampire. I'd tried to prove myself a worthy hunter by hunting and slaying vampires all by myself, even though I have not really succeeded once without the help of another hunter(which sucks, by the way). Still, I had to keep trying.I sensed his presence and turned around sharply to strike. Not this time, I thought
There was definitely no way I could endure seven hours of schooling while being so on edge as I presently am, I needed to go somewhere alone. I was an expert in sneaking away from school, and I took full advantage of the fact that invisibility was one of the most advantageous abilities you could have.I angrily shut my locker door behind me and when I made to leave, I noticed Jake right there. I stepped around him and went to the entrance."Wait, Rhea!" he yelled.I huffed and looked to him. "What do you want from me?" I asked irritably."No, I just...why are you so mad?" His voice was broken.It was unbelievable that he couldn't comprehend why I was infuriated. Men could be so clueless. "You just had to inform my mom about what happened last night," I barked."I was worried about you. You were pretty close to death, I thought she had to be aware of that," he replied."Because of you, I have to have a guardian now when I hunt, like a small kid," I complained.He made a face of underst
The next day happened to be a Saturday, thus I awoke later than usual and stayed at home. I occupied much of my time thinking out different techniques to get Travis. I had taken my mother's advice and gotten myself a nice that I had drenched in the strongest poison we had. I knew my school was quite tolerant; metal detectors were non existent, we never required identification cards, the amount of guards was quite scanty, the probability of anyone noticing my weapon was negligible. Later, in the evening I called Ethan and asked if he wanted to go with me hunting. He agreed which did not surprise me. We headed toward a new club, it was well known as a popular spot for vampires. Because of our ability to teleport, we can hunt any place on the planet we wish. I myself have taken single trips to Hollywood, Vegas, Paris, New York and some other great cities,xlthough I had only gone in search for these ungodly, blood-sipping vampires."Did you hear that?" Ethan asked me."Yes," I answered.
I walked down the street briskly as I listened for sounds that would confirm danger. The atmosphere felt too strange, it was as if something was about to jump out at me. I closed my eyes and concentrated on feeling.I shouldn't have been having so much trouble. I was a huntress and a powerful one at that. My family was renowned for having the fiercest vampire hunters in history, but I rarely ever lived up to those standards.I turned my head quickly as I heard the noise, footsteps to quiet for a human to even barely notice. He turned up behind me. Logan. I had been hunting him for two weeks now and he kept escaping me.Not this time, I thought as I looked at his eyes. Oops, bad move, I was entranced. Vampires had the luck of having eyes that could hypnotize anyone. Not that they really needed it, their looks were enough. They were gorgeous, there was something about the change from human to vampire that could make you look perfect, some always looked better than others of course, but
When I reached my locker I yanked it open, took the books out of my bag, and started shoving them in. I wouldn't need them today because I didn't plan on going to class. There was no way I could endure seven hours of school while I was so upset. I was the queen of skipping school, like I said invisibility was one of the most useful powers you could have.I slammed my locker shut and when I turned to leave I saw Ethan standing behind me. I stepped around him and headed for the door."Evy wait," he called.I kept walking, but then stopped when I realized that he was following me. Chances were he wouldn't stop until he caught me."What do you want?" I asked rudely."Why are you mad at me?" he asked in a hurt voice.I couldn't believe he didn't know. Men really were oblivious. "You told my mom about last night," I told him still rude."I was worried about you. Besides you were almost killed, I thought she should know," he said."Do you know what she did?" I asked. "She won't let me hunt b
I looked from Mrs. Firn to Ethan and then walked to my seat. I was instantly uncomfortable, and very aware of both Ethan and the vamp staring at me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, I would have felt better if Ethan was sitting closer, but he sat on the other side of the room. His last name was Bentley and mine was Sinclair, why teachers felt the need to seat us alphabetically I would never know."Okay we're continuing with conics today," Mrs. Firn said to the class. She waited as everyone groaned in unison and then announced, "But first, we have a new student in class today." She turned to the vamp and said, "Anthony if you need help with anything you can feel free to come after school when I do tutoring, or you can ask Evelyn, she's very good.""Okay thanks," he said to her and then he turned to me and smiled. The worst part about his smile was that it wasn't threatening, it wasn't arrogant, it wasn't even condescending. It was friendly?I glared at him. His smile grew wid
I knew I needed a plan, but my brain wasn't really cooperating. I decided to sleep on it and worry tomorrow. At least it would be Saturday, that was always guaranteed to brighten any teenager's outlook on life.I woke up the next morning and headed downstairs. My mom was home and she was staring at me curiously as I searched through the kitchen trying to find breakfast."You didn't go hunting last night?" she asked. I couldn't really blame her for being surprised, I always hunted on Fridays. I honestly couldn't remember the last time I had been home on a Friday night."I didn't feel like it," I answered.She frowned, "Evelyn, when I restricted your hunting privileges, it wasn't to stop you from hunting. And, I can't lift the restriction if you decide to boycott it.""I'm not boycotting anything, I just felt like staying home last night. I'm going hunting tonight. I'll call Ethan to see if he can go with me okay?" I reassured her.She pursed her lips and surveyed my face. I think she m
I ended up two blocks away from Ethan and the other vamp. Edmund, still holding me, was only disoriented for a second. But I made the most of that second. I managed to elbow him in the solar plexus and pull away from his grasp. He lunged at me and I dodged him. I grasped the handle of my knife and reached up to stab him. And then, blackness. I recalled something, someone, smash me onto the floor, hard. My head made contact with concrete and after that I have no idea what happened.I woke up groggy on a bed. I looked around, too out of it to register where I was, I couldn't even work up the energy to panic. I felt stiff and I had the worst migraine ever. My eyes were still heavy and it felt so good to collapse back onto the bed and relax, within seconds I fell back asleep.I woke up again, this time to voices, all of them male. I tried to listen to what they were saying, but my brain wouldn't let me focus, and sleep was inviting me to lie back down on the bed…"That was the rule, if yo
Days passed, and we still hadn't killed Lucas. I was beginning to wonder if we ever would. Whenever I asked anyone, they said that they were waiting for the perfect time. The day-to-day monotony that came from doing nothing was wearing on me. More than once, I'd considered sneaking out at night to hunt some vampires just to work off all of my pent up energy, but I knew it was a bad idea. If any hunters caught me, I'd be dead. Even if I ever did work up the nerve to sneak out, there was no way it would be possible.Emily, Ethan, and my sisters came to the beach house to visit me often. I was suspicious that all the sporadic, unannounced visits were to make sure that I was staying in the house, but I didn't bring it up to anyone. The last thing I wanted was to get into another fight about how they all didn't trust me.I refused to talk to Anthony. He didn't seem too interested in talking to me either because I got no word from since I told him I wanted to break up. The rational part of
Olivia and Emily looked from me to Anthony to me and took our unwavering attention from each other as their cue to leave the room. More of the same silence continued after they left. I wasn't sure where to start, so I was glad when he spoke first."How have you been?"I shrugged. "Oh, you know. I was lied to, and then I spent a few hours in a jail cell."He avoided my eyes when he spoke again. "I know you must be upset –""I really don't think you do," I interrupted. "You know, out of everyone, I expected you to be the one to always be honest with me.""I wanted to be. Things just got more complicated," he said softly."Complicated? I was so worried. I thought the Administratio was going to kill you! Not to mention Emily. And now I'm in hiding and we have to kill Lucas and everything is so messed up and –""It's not all about you, Evelyn," he yelled, cutting me off.I looked at him in shock. In all the time I'd known him, Anthony never raised his voice at me."Did you think about how
The fury built up inside of me, and everything I'd wanted to scream at her from the moment she brought Anthony and Emily to the house spilled out."You bitch! What the hell is your problem? You ruined everything. I bet you're happy seeing me here, aren't you? I don't care how many years I end up stuck in here, when I get out I am going to kill you!"I stopped ranting for a moment to try and breathe properly. It didn't help. I was panting like I'd just finished running a marathon. Olivia remained calm, staring at me through the bars of my cell like I was an interesting animal at the zoo.It made me angry, the way she just looked at me. I wanted her to say something back. I wanted her to be as upset as I was."You are just an awful person, you know that?" I continued when she remained silent. "You're an awful, disgusting, vile, despicable human being. I was trying to help Emily, but you just wouldn't let me because you're terrible. I never want to see you again. You messed everything up
The plan was this: I was supposed to convince Cheryl to help us kill Lucas, and then Nicole would come down and help me explain what we'd learned about my power and how we could use it to fight him. At no point did we ever discuss Olivia capturing Anthony and Emily and bringing them to the house."What are you doing?" Cheryl asked Olivia. I wanted to know the same thing, and it was good that Cheryl asked because I was too stunned to speak."I found them outside, near the house," Olivia said."What?" I asked, finally finding my voice. There was no way Anthony or Emily would come anywhere near my house."She's lying, Evelyn. We were at the house. She came out of nowhere and got us," Emily said. Her big, green eyes were pleading with me.I was so confused. None of this made sense. I looked at Olivia, waiting to hear what she had to say about this. She didn't explain anything. She just stared back at me, her lips curled into an arrogant smirk. Then it hit me."You lied to me!" I screamed.
"Really?" I was intrigued about what they could have could have come up with since the Administratio was stumped."Hurry up and bring Ethan," Olivia told me impatiently.I hesitated. "You'll be nice to him? All of you? He's in a bad enough mood as it is so if you guys are just going bring him down more…""Evelyn, we have bigger problems than your vampire ex-boyfriend's feelings," Olivia said."He's not my ex-boyfriend," I protested, making sure to avoid looking at Anthony. I realized I would eventually have to tell him about Ethan almost kissing me, but that was a problem for another time."Just go get him, Evelyn," Nicole said."Fine, but if anybody does something I don't like, I'm leaving again." The words sounded bratty to my ears. I didn't want to come off as a child throwing a tantrum, but I needed to get my point across. I could never live with myself if Ethan died…again.I teleported back to the motel to get Ethan. I didn't say anything to him, just grabbed the sleeve of his sh
His lips were less than an inch away from mine. I was not going to let this happen."Ethan, no," I said pushing him away.His nostrils flared. "Why not?""Well, besides my boyfriend, you're covered in blood, so right now the idea of kissing you is kind of gross. No offense," I added.Ethan looked down at his messy clothing and sighed. "I guess you have a point. So you're still gonna stay with the boyfriend even though he wants me dead huh?"Oh no. I was not about to let him make me feel guilty. "Olivia and Nicole want you dead too. Should I disown them?"Ethan grinned playfully, all intensity forgotten. "I'd be very flattered if you did."I smiled back at him. "I'm going to going to get you some clean clothes. Will you promise me that you'll stay here while I'm gone? You could take a shower and try to wash off all the blood from your skin.""Sure thing, boss," he said.I frowned at how well he was cooperating with me. After all, just a few minutes ago he'd been set on having me kill h
"You turned him?" I shrieked, horrified and more confused than I'd ever been in my life."Really, Evelyn, your ability to put two and two together is quite mind blowing," Lucas taunted."That's n-not possible," I stammered, trying to wrap my head around what was clearly right in front of me.Lucas just stared back at me, amusement dancing in his eyes. I could tell he was enjoying everyone's confusion."We buried Ethan's body," Nicole murmured.That was exactly what I was thinking. Ethan was dead. I'd held his lifeless body myself. There'd been tons of people at his funeral. They'd all seen him get buried. It wasn't possible to change someone into a vampire after they died."What did you do, Lucas?" Anthony asked."I can't believe you're being so cold to me, Anthony. And all because of one little huntress," Lucas said. "Do you really think you can trust her? Think about it, she's already gotten you to invite two of her vampire-hating sisters into your home with open arms. It won't be l
"Sister, " Halimat called Rofiat who was situated on the bed missing mindedly. "Sister," she called once more, contacting Rofiat by the shoulder and yanking her off to the real world."Indeed," Rofiat went to reply."What's wrong? Since you returned, you've been looking so upset." Halimat said."Nothing dear," Rofiat turned around. Hadijat was currently remaining before her, on the side of Halimat's inquiry."Yet, you've not been adding to whatever we've been saying since," Hadijat participated in the discussion."Nothing," Rofiat attempted to counterfeit a grin."That is clearly false, it's all around your face that something is off-base" Hadijat demanded. "Accomplished something happen where you all went to?""Nothing occurred," she addressed forcefully. "We didn't actually get to meet those we went for.""Then, at that point, what's wrong?" Halimat sat adjacent to her and set her hands around her shoulder. "Coincidentally, I didn't see Host, Delicate or Slimmy get back with you ind
Screw strolled into the parlor through another entry looking displeased, a thin woman putting on a scanty outfit followed behind him holding with her a medical caretaker units sack."Wetin una talk say occur" Screw asked as Kemi started treating Little's shot injury. No one answered his inquiry on the grounds that at that point they felt Screw was simply involving them as pawns in the round of chess, they were completely captivated at how quickly the Chief heavenly messenger's main man came crashing on the scene just to save three of his men yet while their very own large number men were biting the dust, their own chief was having intercourse."Una no hear me nii" Screw shouted as he was goaded for not getting an answer."We were counter gone after" Oj answered casually."How man of our men are down""I didn't count, I was unable to count however they are bounty, very bounty" Oj actually utilizing the casual tone."In the event that they know that a large portion of our men are down,
