“I don’t give a damn if they throw me down into the deepest, slimiest pit for eternity. I belong here and no one is going to make me leave. No one!”
Vivian took a deep breath and struggled not to argue as she tried to pick the lock on her sister Selena’s handcuffs that Selena had used to fasten herself to the wrought iron gate that surrounded the famed Art Gallery. Selena had hidden the key in her bra and Vivian had no desire to search there for it.
No doubt that would get them both arrested.
Luckily there wasn’t a big crowd on the street in the middle of July, right at dusk, but what people were there all stared at them as they passed by. Not that Tabitha cared. She was more than used to people looking at her and thinking her strange. Even insane.
She prided herself on both. She also prided herself on being available to her friends and family in a crisis. And right now, big sister Selena was in an emotional turmoil second only to the time when Selena’s husband Bill had been in a severe car wreck that had almost killed him.
Vivian fumbled with the lock. The last thing she wanted was to have her sister arrested.
Again.
Selena tried to push her away, but she refused to budge, so Selena bit her.
Vivian jumped back with a yelp as she shook her hand in an effort to relieve the pain. Completely unremorseful about it, Selena was sprawled on the cobbled steps that led into the Square in a pair of ripped jeans and a large navy sweater that obviously belonged to Bill. Selena’s long, curly brown hair was braided and oddly sedate. No one would recognize Madame Selene as she was known to the tourists, except for the big sign Selena was holding that said, “Psychics have rights too.”
Ever since they had passed that stupid, asinine law that the psychics couldn’t read cards in the Square for tourists anymore, Selena had been fighting it. Earlier, the police had forced her sister out of the Federal Building for protesting and so Selena had headed over here to chain herself to the gate not far from where she had once set up her card table for reading other people’s futures.
Something on the corner of her eye made Vivian turn her head,squininting into a dark alley just across the street from where she and her psycho sister stood.
"Selena?",Vivian muttered but the women was still shouting.Stepping off of the curb,she slowly started towards the alley.Only to hear a gruff voice speaking...in Greek?
Vivian froze.
"Vivian?".
The women blinked.But as her gaze found the tall, exotically erotic man sporting a black backpack coming around the corner of the Art building, she relaxed.
It’d been a couple of months since he’d last been in town. In truth, she’d missed him a lot more than she should have.
His long, sensuous gait was impossible to ignore and every female, except for the distraught Selena, in the Square was held transfixed by his presence. They all paused to watch him walk by. It was impossible not to. He was compelling and sexy in a way very few men were.
He held an aura that was dangerous and wild and by his slow, languorous moves, it was obvious that he would be incredible in bed. It was something you just knew intrinsically when you saw him and it rippled through your body like hot, seductive chocolate.
Standing six feet and six inches, Zarek always stood out in a crowd. Like her, he was dressed all in black.
His Godsmack t-shirt was a bit large and untucked, but even so it didn’t detract from that fact that Z was seriously ripped. And his custom-made leather pants cupped a butt so prime, it begged for a groping.
Not that she ever would. An undefinable air about him warned people to keep their hands to themselves if they wanted to keep breathing.
She smiled as she noted his boots. Z had a thing for German Goth clothing. Tonight he had on a pair of black biker boots that had nine vampire bat buckles going up the length of them.
He wore his long black hair loose and flowing around his shoulders. It was a perfect drape for a face that was eerily pretty and yet wholly masculine. Flawless. There was something about Z that made every hormone in her body stand up and pant for more.
Yet for all his sexual attractiveness, there was also an aura so dark and deadly that it kept her from ever thinking of him as anything more than a friend.
“Hey, gorgeous babe,” Vivian said.[Viv was the only one actually ALLOWED to say that to the psycho-vampire] She smiled as she realized his t-shirt paid tribute to the Godsmack song Vampires. How strangely apropos since Ash was an immortal who came equipped with his own set of fangs. “Nice shirt.”
Ignoring her compliment, he pulled the black backpack off his shoulder.
“How long has Selena been handcuffed to the fence?”
“About half an hour. I figured I’d hang out with her and keep her from becoming a vamp-kabob.”
"Well...I see you have everything in control then",Zarek said,his smooth Greek accent rolling off his tongue.
"Excuse me?The bloody-women bite me!",Vivian said with a huff,showing Zarek her index finger.Were tiny teeth mark were molded into her tanned skin.
Zarek only smirked,his fangs flashing.He pulled off his shades,revealing midnight eyes.Making his eyes look empty.Just like him . . .
"I have things to do,Viv",he said after awhile as he watched Selene,with a half-irriated and a half-amused look.
"Mmm..I see..so your going back to Alaska?".
"Gods no",he said quickly,his face looked shocked.Funny for a man .. er vampire.... who claimed never to have an emotion.He actually looked sad.
"Oh!Thats good...well its good to have you back then",Vivian smiled happily.
This is why Zarek liked this girl.She wasnt scared of him.She actually smiled around him,and didnt avert her eyes from him,spit on him and see him as a .... lowborn slave.
Zarek nodded but did not smile as he put his shades back on,slung his bag back over his shoulder,and started down the sidewalk again.Heading towards the pub.
He needed a drink.
