Excerpt:
They flew back and their dark hood fell onto their back. She met Cassie’s eyes and hissed at her. Cassie shook her head. Fucking Vampires.
“You realize I’m not in the Order anymore, right?” She pulled herself to her feet and raised her hands in frustration at the Vamp Woman.
“Once you’re in, you don’t leave. You’ll always be my enemy.” She glanced at the bag and then back to her. “Besides, you have something we want.”
We? She felt the change in the air before she saw him. He was old. Probably one of the older Vampires she’s seen. Cassie shook her head. Why are they always Vampires? Cassie had dealt with a lot of different types of Demons, but these were the oldest ones. Some say the beginning of evil.
“I don’t want to hurt you, Cassie, but I will,” the man said as he got closer. She couldn’t see him clearly until he was almost in front of her. Then she saw him. His dark eyes locked on her and his old west style clothing made her knit her brow in confusion. Did he just like looking like he was from the old west?
“Look, I don’t want you to hurt me either, but you’re not getting that book.” She tightened her grip on the bag and slid it over her shoulder.
“You don’t know what it is, do you?” He said, cocking his head to one side.
“Don’t care, but if you want it, I want it more.” She reached inside of herself and pulled at the magick in her. She felt it twist around her until it rested in her palm. She smiled as she twitched her hand and fire formed between her and the Vampire.
Cassie knew she couldn’t take on two Vampires on her own, much less one that was as old as this guy. She bolted down the road as fast as she could and turned the corner, but he was faster and blocked her way. She ran into him as he grabbed her wrist and threw her against the wall of an alley she’d gone down without thinking.
“Magick is fine if you know how to use it,” he said, getting closer to her.
Oh but she did know how to use it, but if it would work or not remained to be seen.
