I don’t want to be here.
Rain slashes my face, the wind turning my long hair into whips. I
feel like I’ve been walking for hours, but I suspect in the light of day I’ll
discover it’s a mere half mile from the tall iron gate to the front steps of the
house looming in front of me. It looks like something out of a gothic novel,
towering peaks and narrow windows, all dark and vaguely faded as if it’s
stood on this hill for time unknowing.
Probably because it has.
I readjust my grip on my suitcase and march up the steps. There’s no
point in turning and running as far and fast as I can. I already tried that and
it got me a brand new scar on my knee and a limp that made the hike up
here agonizing. The only reason my father healed me the little bit that he
did was to keep me from being fully damaged goods. The man in this house
won’t care about a few scars. He’s interested in what lurks beneath my skin.
Specifically, my blood.
I don’t knock. The vampire in this house knows I’m coming. There’s no
point in playing the courteous guest or pretending I want this. I make it
three steps inside before the door slams shut behind me, sealing off the roar
of the storm and leaving only eerie silence in its wake. I glance over my
shoulder, but I don’t expect to see anything.
Vampires move faster than the human eye can see. And while I’m only
fifty percent human, I’m tainted by that lineage enough to not be able to see
more than a blur of movement. Another way I’m seen as damaged goods.
At least if I had full vampire reflexes and strength, it might make up for my
lack of magic. As it is, I’m barely better than a human. Barely better than
prey.
The knowledge sticks in my throat, preventing a shriek of surprise when
I turn around and find a man looming close. No, not a man. A vampire. It’s
there in his pale skin, the barest hint of fang pressing against his bottom lip.
It’s the slightest loss of control, and it makes me wonder how long it’s been
since the last sacrificial lamb was sent to this house.
He’s gorgeous in the way all vampires are, flawless beauty and hidden
strength. This one has dark brown hair that falls in a sleek wave to his
shoulders, fathomless dark eyes, and a muscular body slightly too thin for
his frame. He holds himself stiller than any human ever could. “I
apologize.”
