This could actually work.
Faye looked at him, and he did his best to look stronger than he felt.
“Whatever,” Faye said. “Blair, take care of the other one. I don’t want him following us.”
Brett started to speak, but the vampire moved in a flash and grabbed him.
Brett was tall, but she forced him to look down into her eyes, and she whispered something. Brett’s face went slack, and his body relaxed. Blair hit him, and he fell to the floor and didn’t move.
“I said not to hurt him,” Nick growled.
“We could have done a lot worse,” Faye said. “Come with us, or I’ll break his neck.”
Nick stared at his brother, and he felt something dark and furious rising in his chest. “If you’ve done any permanent damage, I’ll kill every single one of you.”
Faye frowned. “Stop doing that.”
Nick looked at her. “What?”
“Stop that,” she said, and he realised she wasn’t looking at his face.
He followed her gaze down to his hands, and he saw black lines spreading across them like veins under his skin.
“We’re not going to hurt him,” Faye said quickly. “Dixon, help him up.”
Dixon didn’t move. He was staring at Nick’s hands.
“No,” Nick said. “Don’t touch him. We’re leaving. Bring me to your boss.”
Faye frowned, but she led the way to the door. “Good choice.”
NIck took another look at his brother, unmoving and injured, but he had no choice. He felt guilt clawing at his throat as he walked away from him, but they were in the middle of a city, and someone must have heard the noise. The bar was destroyed. The police were probably already on their way.
They stepped onto the street, and Nick started to calm down once all the vampires were standing outside with him, away from Brett. He glanced down again as he felt the void lines disappearing from the skin on his hands.
“How did you find me?” Nick asked.
Faye closed the door behind them, and her eyes kept glancing down to his hands. “It wasn’t hard. As soon as someone found out there was a void in town, the news spread like wildfire.”
“But no one knows.”
“Someone did, and they didn’t keep their mouth shut.”

Chapter 6 - Cara
“I’m not telling you who he is,” Cara said. Hours had passed since she arrived, and her parents were finally starting to calm down.
Well, maybe not calm, since her father had barricaded the doors and stockpiled everything that could be used as a weapon on the kitchen table. But he wasn’t yelling anymore.
Her mother had her eyes closed and her hands raised over the table in front of her. It was a map of the city, and Cara recognised the large-scale tracking spell she was doing. It was a lot more complicated than anything Cara had ever done.
She had already thought about forcing her way out of the house, or sneaking out of one of the upstairs windows, but her parents asked her to stay. They must have realised that she could sneak out. So they asked her to do it for their sake, and she agreed. She trusted them.
Besides, they didn’t know that Nick was the void.
“How long were you with him?” Eric asked.
