back the blood like a dog sucked down water on a hot day. Marc screamed.

I did a little screaming of my own. тАЬStop it!тАЭ I was reeling from the suddenness of the confrontation. A
minute earlier we were just stepping outside, for GodтАЩs sake. Even the cemetery meeting hadnтАЩt been this
alarming. тАЬWhat do you want?тАЭ

She stopped drinking. тАЬYou, of course. Your presence is requested by my master.тАЭ

тАЬNosehair?тАЭ

Her nostrils flared. Blood gleamed on her chin. I actually wanted to lick it off, howтАЩs that for sick and
disgusting? I could feel my teeth growing, seeming to fill my mouth. I was so embarrassed I couldnтАЩt look
at Marc. тАЬIs that supposed to be a joke?тАЭ

тАЬNo! IтАЩm jutht really bad at nameth.тАЭ
 тАЬWhatтАЩs wrong with your voice?тАЭ

тАЬNever mind. You were thaying about your mathterтАж?тАЭ

тАЬNostro desires your company. He told me to use any means to persuade you. Now, I willтАжтАЭ

тАЬOkay.тАЭ

She faltered a bit. тАЬWhat?тАЭ

тАЬOkay, IтАЩll go with you. We can go right now.тАЭ

тАЬOh.тАЭ She considered for a long moment. Obviously sheтАЩd expected more resistance. She released
Marc, who just about broke something scrambling away from her. He went immediately to Jessica, knelt,
and fumbled at her neck for a pulse. тАЬVery well. Come with me now.тАЭ

тАЬMarc.тАЭ My fangs were retractingтАжthank God. тАЬYou find a pulse?тАЭ

He looked up at me, shivering from the adrenaline rush. тАЬYes, I think sheтАЩs all rightтАФjust knocked out.тАЭ

Congratulations, Short Stuff, maybe youтАЩll live through the next hour. тАЬOkay. Take her to the ER. Get
her looked at, and have somebody take a look at your neck. IтАЩm sorry.тАЭ

тАЬItтАЩs not your fault. IтАЩll make up something good. IтАЩll tell the attending we were mugged, or something.тАЭ

тАЬIтАЩm sorry.тАЭ I started walking out of the alley. Shorty watched, a look of amused scorn on her nasty
little face. тАЬIтАЩll be back later.тАЭ

тАЬNot necessarily,тАЭ Short Stuff tittered.

тАЬShut the fuck up, you cunt.тАЭ IтАЩd never used the C word before tonight, but she seemed an ideal
representation of it. And the shocked look on her faceтАФas if IтАЩd slapped her, which I sort of had, only
with a word instead of my handтАФwas almost worth how awful I felt about what she had done to my
friends. And oh, sweetie, you want to watch out if I catch you with your guard downтАж
