She was limping by the time they were halfway home. There was nothing to run from and she could only pretend to be able to keep up with King's pace so long before the wear started to show. Whatever that thing was, it had hit her hard, and it had only hit her once. She grumbled something about long legs under her breath as she pushed through the ( Read more... )

“I have the distinct feeling I am going to get my ass beat at some point.” Glancing at Sam we stepped from the shadows into the cemetery. Am I the only one that thinks this is creepy? It’s harder then I thought to not be nervous and I am pretty sure I am not doing a good job of hiding that from her ( Read more... )

Okay I do have a reputation for being particularly hard to exhaust, but it's not like we had a sex marathon, so I don't think when I rolled out of bed and started gearing up he was too surprised. I could go out and slay fine on my own, but if I was going to take him along I had to know he wasn't going to handle things like he did when Danica ( Read more... )

One minute I'm a vampire. Ghouly, soulless freak destine to walk the earth with out so much as a pot to piss in. Next minute, or yesterday, everything changes. Last thing that was crystal clear to me was looking down the barrel of a 12 gauge shotgun. A lot of things go through you mind. Most of them I don't remember. But what I can recall is that ( Read more... )

Maybe I should have known better. But how could I have known? How could I have known it would be this big, that things would get that bad? It seemed so simple to me. Why should anyone have to be what they don't want to? I guess no one else thought it was that simple ( Read more... )

It had been a few days since Sam had come in here flippantly giving me hell about not wanting to help out her vampire friend, and as per usual, she had stormed out without even listening to reason. She percieves an inability to help as a want NOT to help. Believe me, any sould I can rescue from damnation to Hell is one that I would like to save, ( Read more... )

"You fucked me over, King, I'm thinking about knocking on some very unwelcome doors and begging for favors on your behalf, and instead I wake up chained to a floor. What would you do if you were me?"Covering her mouth I pressed a finger to my lips and shushed them both. Dropping my voice lower I whispered. "We aren't alone..." pointing at Mike I ( Read more... )

It was nice to know that in a big place like this I could rely on someone else killing the bad guys. No, I don't mean the cops...they never do anything right...except maybe retire, but I digress. I'm on about the hunters who live here and kill all things dark and evil. Vampires, demons, you name it they kill it ( Read more... )

Whatever that shit was in that syringe it sure as hell was potent, it's been hours and she's still out. I'm hoping she'll find it amusing when she wakes up and she's completely bound to the floor, just as she had done to me the night before. An eye for an eye, so to speak. One way or another I was going to get the cure. I had tried the puppy eyes, ( Read more... )
