Interesting. I think as I decide to follow. Calling upon the blood I heighten my hearing to see if I can make out anything being said as I keep my distance.

I winced. I had hoped that I would be lucky and find Lexi in her office. I could see that I would have no such luck. I laughed thinking of Clara’s “Good hunting” remark. “Time to capture my prey,” I say as I turn and head to the section of the library where I first encountered my obsession.

I smile and leave the car. I’m dressed sportily: tight yoga pants and a white crop top. I head into the library, but I’m not here for any books. I only want one thing: the cute older librarian. I make a beeline for Lexi’s office, hoping to find her there.

“Is that a problem?” I ask. “If you need to return to the Haven I’m certain I will be fine. You can return to Hector after you have dropped me off.”

I noticed that Clara was hesitant. “You can speak freely with me. I wish to be your friend, not your master. And that means we must be honest and open.”

“Then can you procure a place? Somewhere, I’ll be safe while you take Lexi home.” I ask as I prepare to exit the car once Clara has parked.

I unbutton the top two buttons of my shirt to show off ample amounts of cleavage. “No need to apologize, Clara. Sometimes, I’m not clear on my intent.” I smile seductively at the ghoul. “I’m hoping to bring a friend back with me tonight. Would it be too much to bring her back to the haven, or...

“I don’t think you were a mistake,” I answer carefully. “But you were Hector’s nemesis. Being loyal to him now, it must be hard.” I lean forward from the backseat, my face peering over the headrest beside Clara’s. “You know how much I adore you. There can be no question of my motivation to be...

“So Hector makes mistakes? I guess I’m one of them. Is keeping you one too? I can’t imagine you like being his servant?”

“Yes, well, he need not humiliate me the way he did,” I say, looking away, blushing a bit, thinking about how erotic I found the whole situation. “Anyway, we best hurry. I need to go see how my favorite librarian is doing.”

“Take something with me? Do you mean in the case of Sunrise? I will defer to you. I have been shown how young and naive I am this night already,” I say as I slip my shoes on. “Anyway, this Marcus feels like he has quite the rivalry with Hector.”

I take Clara’s hand, and she leads me back to her room. “Yes, I just felt compelled. He made me strip and walk naked. I hate to think what else he could have had me do…” I shudder, wondering what else he could have compelled me to do. I begin to dress. “I was hoping to go to the Library. Meet...

I look at my state of dress. “Clara, my clothes are back in your room. Will you walk with me and help me get dressed again?”

“Thank you, sire,” I say, giving Marcus a side glance, not trusting my sire’s brother. “Would it be ok if I borrowed Clara for the evening?”

Chloe knew she needed to traverse this carefully. “Isn’t sure another word for father? Sorry, I tend to assume things. Perhaps it is different among our kind. But he is responsible for this life I now have, so if you have made a mistake, you can no doubt see it is an honest one.” With these...

“Wait, brothers? So that means the same, sire? Oh my!” I spout as the gravity of the situation hits me. “I’m like…” I stop for a second to think. “… a week old by your reckoning. By the way, does this mean I have to call you uncle?”

As the hold over me is released I am suddenly aware that I am standing there naked. I reach down and cover-up. “What is going on? Hector, who is this?”

I feel terror. Up until now, Hector has been like a God to me. To see him falter. Puts me in great distress. A single blood tear rolls down my cheek as I stand idly by naked, watching the two elders argue.

I felt a force like I had never known clamped my mouth shut. Marcus and Hector's argument continued. I felt so insignificant. Others knew of me. The Seamstress for one. Now, this dark, brooding Marcus. Surely, a compromise was in the best interest of several of those like me. Hector had to have...
