He hadn't said a word since they’d left Night Light, not quite trusting his voice or emotions. The silence between them was deafening but Alicia didn’t have the courage to break it. When she felt his hand on her back, pushing her ahead of him into the living room, she got a clue as to how angry he truly was. Quickly turning around to keep him in sight, she silently watched as he jerked off his coat and tossed it clear across the room. The trench coat landed on the back of the sofa but Damon had already forgotten about it, choosing instead to stalk his escape artist of a mate. “Damon, wait,” Alicia felt the need to beg as she backed up. “Wait for what?” Damon a

Chapter 3 “We need to wait until dusk,” Tiara said, as she looked out the window unable to face Guy’s angry disappointment or Zachary’s authority over her. She was nervous enough as it was. “Why wait?” Jason asked, not liking the idea of going out in the dark after demons or ghosts or whatever it was this girl wanted to go after. “Good question,” Trevor said. “I’m all for going out after these things but going when it starts to get dark is like walking around carrying a big neon sign that says ‘Free Dinner’.” “Because that is when the dead begin to wake,” Tiara answered. “They are at their weakest because of the sunlight counteracting their darkness. That weakness has not faded… much like how weak you feel when you first awaken for the day. It is the same for them except they are nocturnal.” Trevor smirked, thinking of his mornings with Envy. “I’m not weak in the mornings. Whoever told you that has their information backwards.” “What’s wrong, are your x-girlfrie

Chapter 5 “Storm,” Tiara acknowledged, then smiled warmly at him when he walked over and sat down on the bed beside her. Storm looked over at Guy with an unreadable expression on his face. He’d seen Guy carrying Tiara up the stairs with the same care he had shown his sister. “Did I miss something?” Guy refused to fidget as Storm looked directly at him. He’d seen the time walker grab a man once in a fit of anger and the man had simply disappeared never to be seen again. Considering what Storm was, Guy sure as hell did not want to end up in the Stone Age. “I will protect Tiara as a permanent member of her group,” Guy informed the time walker stoically. “So I did miss something,” Storm mused. This was new to him and he was getting a kick out of finding out things the old fashioned way. Looking over at Zachary, Storm noticed the not-so-happy expression on the other man’s face and sighed inwardly. “Zachary, care to fill me in?” Tiara’s lips had parted to defend Guy b

Chapter 7 Tiara sat curled up in her chair in front of her desk memorizing the addresses of all the cemeteries in Los Angeles. She’d been at it for a few hours now and her eyes were starting to burn. This job was very important to her and she’d vowed to be just as good at it as Myra had been. She loved her mom but the one thing she didn’t want was to stand in Myra’s shadow. She had a different plan in mind. In order to use her necromancy night after night, she would have to pick a lover and eventually a mate. She smiled remembering all the times she’d used her mother’s log in to access the PIT database. She’d had a habit of waiting until her mother was out for the night before borrowing her laptop with the excuse that she was bored and wanted to watch a movie on it. The first thing she’d always done was scour the database for any mention of Zachary… the only PIT member that knew her mom’s secret. Any new information on him and his whereabouts were few and far between bu

Chapter 9 Tiara moved away from the protective circle and stepped past Storm, wanting to head towards the middle of the graveyard. She let her fingers graze over headstones and statues as she passed them, ignoring the things she felt watching her… things hiding but curious at the same time. She wasn’t here to hurt them… they were the victims here. As she approached one of the cherub statues, she stared impassively as its baby sweet face began to twist and its mouth stretched showing a row of sharp ghostly teeth. As soon as she touched it, the statue returned to normal. They did not want the living here… this was their home now. Jason walked a bit behind Zachary and Guy, dragging his feet and kicking up leaves occasionally. He really didn’t want to be here. He’d never been fond of graveyards during the daylight… much less the darkness. Why in the hell he had to go out and get himself marked by some crazy demon, which in turn got him mixed up with the Ghostbusters on steroids
