An Ignitor. A vampire’s nightmare. A being that could raise and control fire.
Not a good way for a vampire to die.
She’d watched vamps burn before. Dee just hadn’t thought that would ever be the way she’d go out.
Of course, she hadn’t thought she’d be a vamp, either.
Simon lunged forward and launched his body at the fleeing vampire. Even from the distance that separated them, she could hear the thud when their bodies crashed into the earth.
She pushed forward with a burst of speed.
Simon flipped the vampire over—and the ferret bastard started laughing.
That’s when the hair rose on Dee’s nape. When she realized that the shadows were too dark.
And that vampires didn’t always rely on their first course of attack.
Backup plans. She wasn’t the only one who had them. Dee let her claws out. “Simon.”
His head whipped up.
“He’s leading us by the balls. It’s a trap.” One they’d walked, no, ran, straight into. The Ignitor hadn’t been the only threat.
Not by a long shot.
The vamps came from the shadows. Four. No, five. Oh, damn, six.
Simon rose slowly, no fear flickering in his eyes or showing on the hard planes of his face. His shoulders rolled, and he smiled. “Guess you’re all ready for an ass kicking, huh?”
The man might be insane. This many vamps? No, hell, no. Dee was very much afraid they would be the ones getting the ass kicking. She still didn’t even understand all her Born powers. No way could she take on this many vamps at once.
Laughter. The wild, crazy kind you usually only heard in B-movies. Ferret-face rose to his feet. He spat at Simon. Blood hit the ground near Simon’s feet. “I-I knew they h-had a hole here.” More laughter. What was the deal with Mr. Giggles? “Can’t take us all, c-can you?” His back straightened and that grin nearly split his face.
Simon’s arm brushed hers.
Dee sighed and pulled out a stake. Some habits just couldn’t be broken. Maybe they shouldn’t be broken. She eyed the closing circle of vamps, looking for the head of the snake. Because there was always a head, one with dripping fangs. The alpha. The vamp who wielded the most power and who had to be taken down first, because otherwise, he’d take you down. Fast, hard, and dirty.
Just because she liked her sex that way, it didn’t mean she wanted her second death to be like that.
There. The guy with the long, dreaded red hair. The one with green eyes that glinted and stared too hard at her. The one with his claws out and his hands up. He stood before the others, just by about a foot or two. Not toss-away prey.
Threat number one.
“Got him,” Simon whispered.
Hey, if he wanted to go first. “Knock yourself out,” she whispered, and her gaze dipped to the woman on the alpha’s right. Asian. Gorgeous eyes too dark and deadly, red, red lips, pale, smooth skin and?—
The woman lunged forward.
What?
Dee snarled and brought her stake up. Fight. Survive. Her mantra. Always.
But the woman didn’t come for her. Instead, her claws ripped into the still laughing vampire’s back. Dug deep.
He screamed.
“Hold him tight, Jun.”
