the Almighty Chosen?”
“I honestly don’t know.” I said.
“How’s that possible? Yari laughed.
“I haven’t had an erection since I became a Mani.” The whole room fell apart laughing.
“It made you impotent?” Wyatt marveled.
“No,” I said insulted. “I haven’t exactly been in a romantic mood after having my life turned upside down.” I looked at Hector. “So, to answer your question, I don’t know. Why you needed to know details of my member is creepy. Anyway, I have always been a grower not a show’ er.”
Lena smiled at me. “Can we stop talking about Josiah’s package, if that’s okay with everyone?”
“Oh, you’ll find out soon enough, sweetie.” Yari stated to Lena. Lena ignored Yari’s comment. But she didn’t say she wouldn’t. Hey, every little bit helps.
“I concur.” I said. “So what are you drinking? Animal blood?”
“Not exactly,” Yari said.
“Human blood?” I asked disgusted.
“No one that had to die for it, if that’s what you’re afraid of.” Lena laughed as she sipped her cup,
“That’s good,” I said. “Glad to see we still have our morals.”
“Don’t worry, I know the graveyard security guy at Running Springs Hospital. He hooked us up last night.”
“Did you and Tommy get it?” I asked.
Yari looked at me with a little distain. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It doesn’t mean anything. I was only asking.”
“Yeah, Tommy went with me. Is that a problem? Or do you need to keep tabs on me.
“Oh you would like that, wouldn’t you?” I responded. “Yari I have zero problem with you and Tommy being friends. A matter of fact, you can be more than friends. Go have tons of vampire and werewolf babies.”
Everyone laughed and Yari didn’t correct me. There was definitely something going on between her and Tommy.
I peeked in Yari’s cup. The Styrofoam cup was stained red at the bottom. I couldn’t help but gag. Yari saw my gag reflex go.
“Seriously, ‘The Chosen’ just gagged at the sight of blood? What is wrong with this picture?” I left the kitchen and went to the living room and closed my eyes and rested a bit.
Sometime had passed and Lena came over to me. “Josiah, you awake?” she asked.
“Yeah,” I answered.
“Just wanted you to know that it will be dark soon and our little friend is going to go all wolf-boy on us.”
“Where is he?” I asked.
“He’s putting extra chains on his cage.”
“Extra chains?”
“He thinks the fact that there will be so many Mani close by, the smell might drive him over the top.”
I got up and went into the front room where Tommy was. He was inside his cage locking chains on top of one another. He would yank on the chains to make sure they were locked in tight.
“What’s going on?” I asked him.
“I’m reinforcing the chains, so I will be stuck deep inside and not harm anyone. I’m already starting to itch.”
“So that’s why you itch. You always said it was because you were nervous about leaving to the reserves.”
Tommy laughed. “I had to tell a couple of lies to keep my cover.”
I walked into the cage and knelt down next to Tommy to see if he needed my help. He handed me a chain while he connected the smaller end to the back bar of the cage.
“Did my sister know about you?” I asked Tommy.
Tommy was quiet. My sister was always a touchy subject for him. So, I respectfully waited for him to answer me.
“Your sister knew.” Tommy continued to work on the chains.
“Is that all?” I asked.
“She knew Josiah. She was the only Tandra that knew. She was the one person in this world I completed trusted.
“Okay, Tom.” I decided to change the discussion. “I think we should have everyone else leave for the next 72 hours.”
“Why?”
“I want to do something with you that will take complete commitment from the both of us. It’s got to be about you and me, and you and me only. We need to connect in a way
