The sound of my heartbeat in my ears was deafening. Blood poured down my neck and chest, soaking my shirt. A strangled sound escaped me, something between a shriek and a growl. Ravenous and wild, he sank fangs deep into my neck. Their buddy saw an opportunity too and he went for it.
TRINA THE ONE CLEAN ZIP ZIP
I took the opportunity to tug at the zip ties, testing them for weakness. The two of them glared daggers at each other. “ I don’t answer to you,” Yellowteeth snarled. Octavia had a tough front but it didn’t go far beyond the exterior. If they ran into trouble I’d like a heads up.” So she could run. “ One of you go check on the others,” Octavia ordered. If I didn’t have to deal with the awkward angle of my wrists, it would be easier. I turned my attention to the heavy zip ties binding my hands together behind my back. Not without use of my hands to direct the forced that filled me. Something is wrong.” Octavia turned to me with a raised brow. I’d rather Octavia kill me than have to live through whatever those creeps had in mind. “You can bleed her after we’re done with her.” I needed to prove I was a force to be reckoned with. I concentrated on Octavia, feeling she was the biggest threat in the room. That left my metaphysical abilities, as erratic and misguided as they may be. I kept the thought to myself but focused on the power coiled in my core. “If they don’t come back soon I’m going to open a vein on her. The third vampire present, Octavia, stared out the window. I’d come here to right a wrong and succeeded in making myself a victim. Regular every day people that never deserved to die that way. I jumped, cursing myself again for such a foolish blunder. Irritated by my obvious rejection, he snapped his teeth together, inches from my face.
I leaned as far away as I could, which wasn’t far. “ Especially a werewolf,” added another guy as he sniffed at me as if I were fresh meat. I shuddered at the thought of them touching me. He wore a grin that exposed yellowing fangs.
“ It ain’t every day we get a sweet piece like you walking in here.” The short, stout vampire seated on a stool directly across from me leered. Not even my closest friend, fellow werewolf, Shaz. Because I had let the hunger for the hunt outweigh my common sense, I was alone. Their buddies were outside, making sure I had come alone. The three vampires keeping watch laughed and joked about how their evening was looking up, thanks to me. So if you’ll just cut me loose, I’ll let you get back to your evening.” I smiled brightly, refusing to openly acknowledge my growing fear. “ You know, I think I’m ready to leave now. I couldn’t direct my power properly this way. Having my hands bound behind my back rendered me pretty much helpless. The problem was that I hadn’t taken the time to determine how many vampires I was dealing with. If I survived it, my colleagues, Kale and Jez, would never let me hear the end of it.
Cocky, ignorant, even a little bit stupid. Walking into a nest of vampires wasn’t the smartest decision I’d made this week. Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author.
