up. 80s girl began to stroke
Aiden’s arm while the other girl, who had been quiet, began to rub
my leg.
“Why don’t you ask him what he
wants?”
Aiden looked at me and then helped me
off his lap. He gave me one last kiss before turning his attention
back to the trollop twins. They smiled at him and licked their lips
while I stared, dumbfounded. I didn’t know what Aiden was going to
do, but if he so much as touched one of them, I’d zap his
ass.
He moved so quickly that all I saw was
a blur of motion and then the limp bodies of the two girls, their
necks in an awkward position.
“You killed them?”
“I had to, Gwen; they saw what we
looked like. If I let them live, it would put you at risk and I’m
not going to let that happen,” he said, his voice lacking
regret.
I stared at the two limp bodies in
shock. I knew Aiden had probably killed before, since vampires were
a predatory species, but to actually see him kill was a different
story.
“I could have wiped their memories,” I
told him.
“These are two women who drink
witches’ blood, who would kill you just to get a high. Are you
telling me they didn’t deserve to die?”
I understood where he was coming from
but it didn’t mean I had to like it. He picked up Fiona and I
quickly changed my appearance into a large muscular man. My head
was shaved and my black t-shirt was stretched to its limits against
my faux muscles. I expected Aiden to make some smart-ass comment
but he was silent, maybe worried that I thought of him differently,
now that I’d seen him kill.
I’d worry about that later, Right now;
we had to get out of there. We stepped out of the small room and
made our way down the stairs. All of the vampires were in some sort
of trance. The heavy metal music thumped through the speakers while
the vamps rocked to the beat.
I tried to portray the facial features
a big muscular man might have. I drew my eyebrows together and
scowled at everyone, hoping I looked more threatening than
ridiculous. When we got to the last step, I noticed the barmaids
were back with humans in tow. Some vampires were in the middle of
having sex on the various couches that lined the wall. I gawked in
surprise, but drew my attention back to the exit sign.
A short black man thrust a human into
me and I barely caught her before she collapsed.
“I’m finished, now it’s time to find a
piece of ass,” he said as he made his way through the out of
control crowd. The girl looked up at me with fear and interest. I
didn’t say anything to her; instead I grabbed her arm and continued
to the exit. She looked like she’d seen better days. The word
“junkie” came to mind when I observed her appearance. Her hair was
messy and her clothes looked stained in various places. She was so
skinny, her bones were clear against her pale skin.
I shot a quick glance over my shoulder
to see that Aiden was still following. The door was just ahead and
it seemed I couldn’t get there quick enough. I picked up my pace
and burst through the doors.
The night air was a blessed relief
after being in the stuffy club. Micah was leaning against the
building and instantly went on alert when he saw that Aiden had two
men with him.
“Where’s Gwen?” he snarled. I waved
both of my hands over my body and felt my disguise slip away. The
girl shrieked and Micah stared in surprise. I’d have laughed if I
hadn’t been so drained from the tension of what I’d just witnessed.
If Fiona wanted to get me back to my partying frame of mind, she’d
just failed immensely.
After calming the girl down and
casting a forgetful spell, (so she’d stay away from future
vampires), we were finally in the car and on our way back to Flora.
Fiona was still asleep in the backseat with Aiden. Everyone in the
small car seemed to choke on their words. I knew Micah wanted to
know what happened, but I was still in shock at everything I’d seen
and not in any state of mind to elaborate on the
details.
