Did I care that his fingers were digging into her throat, cutting off her air? No. I was curious to see how far he would go? Could I get him to kill her?

Remley pulled his mouth off Kathrine’s neck and sat up beside me. “Shit. I think she’s dead.”

Molly swung her eyes over, but the delivery boy didn’t hear. Or he didn’t care. He was too lost in what he was doing. He was Pounding into Molly like a man possessed. Perhaps my little church girl could exorcize him.

I looked down at Kathrine’s open empty eyes as Remley turned his attention to the delivery boy. I knew what he was thinking before he pulled his dick out of Kathrine’s ass.

The delivery boy however, did not. He didn’t even Notice Remley coming up behind him until he grabbed his shoulder and bent his torso into Molly. He wasn’t so keen on choking her then.

Remley slammed in his ass, the delivery boy screamed, and I sunk my teeth into Molly’s breast.

I don’t know if my own feral desire amped up Remley’s appetite, but none of our prisoners made through the night.

CHAPTER FOUR

Dawn

“It was a vampire!”

I’d been trying to explain this for 30 minutes now. Why wouldn’t anyone listen to me? There were only so many ways I could say it. The block was filled with flashing lights and people in uniform, yet not a single one of them was taking me seriously.

“Listen.” The police officer taking my statement tipped his head in a sympathetic nod. “Sometimes trauma like this can affect your memory.”

“It’s not trauma!” I slapped my hands down on the ambulance I was seated in. “I know what I saw. I was attacked by a vampire. He bit me.”

Did no one see the wound in my neck? No less than ten minutes ago, the paramedic joked about how it looked like a vampire bite. The joke was on him because it was a vampire bite.

“Mam, you need to calm down.”

“I will not calm down.” People needed to know. They needed to protect themselves.

I was two seconds away from losing my ever loving mind.

“Hey.” Liz grabbed my hands and dipped her head to look into my eyes. “It’s okay.”

“It’s not okay.” I was so frustrated that tears were streaming down my face. “Why won’t they listen to me?”

“Well,” Liz’s face scrunched up in a grimace. “You sound kind of crazy.”

I did, didn’t I. Of course, no one would listen to me because monsters weren’t real. But I couldn’t lie. That would be wrong. I’d never felt more hopeless.

“It was a vampire, Liz.”

“I know, sweetie.” Liz smiled and pulled my head down to rest on her shoulder.

“You believe me, don’t you?”

“Of course I do.”

No, she didn’t. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it. Maybe I was crazy?

“Listen.” Liz said to the police officer. “She’s had a long day. Can I take her home?”

The police officer looked at the paramedic, who nodded. “Other than some blood loss, she’s fine.”

I felt like pointing out that said blood loss could be from a vampire drinking it, but decided to let it go. Apparently, this was a battle I’d have to fight on my own.

“Come on, vampire bait, let’s go get our stuff and head home.”
