тАЬBetsy, dammit!тАЭ

тАЬтАФitтАЩs for your safety. Sinclair must know what Nostro tried to do. And what he could not do. This is
the chance to band together and defeat him once and for all. If you join Sinclair, Nostro will be
destroyed.тАЭ

тАЬI hate that creep.тАЭ

тАЬWhich one?тАЭ

тАЬBoth, frankly, but especially that snooty jerkoff, Sink Lair.тАЭ

тАЬWell.тАЭ I had the sense Tina was choosing her words carefully. тАЬIf you help us defeat Nostro, you will
be the reigning queen. You could order the jerkoff to leave town.тАЭ
 тАЬNow thatтАЩs a little more like it. Although I have no queen qualifications.тАЭ

тАЬUntrue,тАЭ she said quietly. тАЬI saw. You were foretold.тАЭ

We were driving steadily south. Some fool had left his keys in a handy unlocked Lexus, so we climbed
in and off we went. I didnтАЩt feel terribly badтАФserved him right for living in a vampire neighborhood,
anyway. Probablywas a vampire. Besides, IтАЩd leave the car in a safe place, and have Marc or Jessica
call the owner. After what IтАЩd been through this week, it was tough to break a sweat over a little grand
theft auto.

тАЬForetold,тАЭ I said, clutching the armrest as Tina took the turn nearly on two wheels. тАЬYou said that
before.тАЭ

тАЬThereтАЩs a book. WeтАФvampiresтАФcall it theTabla Morto . The book of the dead. A thousand years
ago, vampires knew you were coming. тАШA Queen shall ryse, who has powyer beyond that of the
vampyre. The thyrst shall not consume her, and the cross never will harm her, and the beasts will
befryend her, and she will rule the dead.тАЩтАЭ Tina nodded in satisfaction.

тАЬMy!тАЭ I coughed. That bit about the beastsтАжit explained the dogs. During the short walk to the car,
every dog in the neighborhood had broken free and come to see me. Tina was wide-eyed while I swore
and scolded and tried to gently boot them away. When we drove off they were barking enthusiastically at
our taillights. Real subtle getaway. тАЬWhat a lovely story.тАЭ

Tina didnтАЩt crack a smile. тАЬThatтАЩs you, Majesty. YouтАЩre the first vampire in a thousand years who could
hold a cross without screaming or throwing up or being burned. Nostro threw holy water in your face
and you laughed. You laughed.тАЭ She said this in a tone of complete admiration. тАЬThe dogs do your
willтАФтАЭ

тАЬThe hell they do. They never leave when I tell them to. Just lick my ankles and slobber on my shoes.
My shoes!тАЭ

She quirked a little curl of a smile at me. тАЬThey donтАЩt leave because they know youтАЩre not truly angry
with them. They just want to be near you. Best get used to it.тАЭ

тАЬSuper.тАЭ And here I figured IтАЩd had a lot to think about in the pit! Tonight was blowing all my circuits.
