 Hey, you guys okay? Ferris asked as he stepped into the foyer.  I heard Tyler s gone, and I
wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help.
 Yes, actually, Mav answered as we broke apart.  You re staying at Darcy Burke s house on
assignment, right?
 Yeah. You want a ride there?
 Yes please.
 Okay, let me tell the others that I ll be back. Ferris jogged off as Mav slid his hand in mine.
 Can you tell me what happened after you drank my blood? I was curious to know how he felt
about the whole incident.
 It s hard to explain. It tasted weird, almost as if it was laced with some chemical. Then the next
thing I knew I felt frantic, this need clawing at me to please you. It was like there was nothing else I
could focus on and nothing else mattered. It was so strange, but I couldn t stop it.
 The Queen is looking into how it happened. We have no knowledge of our blood affecting
vampires that way.
 I m glad someone s all over it because the vampires need to be warned, and I d like to be able
to feed from my mate when I need blood. He smiled at me as Ferris came back and led us out to his
driving machine. I stared at it apprehensively then glanced over to Mav. He smiled reassuringly when
he saw the look on my face.  They re safe, I promise. It will be scary for the first few minutes, but I
promise it s fun.
 You guys don t have cars where you re from? Ferris asked, his eyes wide.  God, the culture
shock you all must be going through. No wonder Tyler thought it best to start you out slow. I can t
even imagine the roller-coaster ride you re on.
 What s a roller coaster? I got into the car as Ferris called it and Mav showed me how to put
on the seat belt. I gave a very loud squeak as it moved, swallowing back my nerves.
They explained to me what a roller coaster was and about a place called an amusement park that
housed them. I had a feeling I would like an exciting place like that. Mav was right. After a few
minutes, I found myself rolling down the window and leaning my head out so the wind blew through
my hair. It was very invigorating. I was so impressed that the people of this world had invented such
a thing.
Then they told me how this vehicle, or SUV, worked. Mav explained how there were also cars,
trucks, and Hummers as well. He told me he had a sports car back in Greece that he d have to get
Caleb to send over. But when he taught me how to drive, he said maybe I should start in Tyler s truck.
I wasn t sure why he thought that, but I would do as he wanted. Mav knew best when it came to
matters in his world.
 Shit, we ve got problems, Ferris growled as he pointed down the road. I saw dozens of
people running toward us from several miles away.  Where are they heading?
 Who are they? I asked, unsure why he was so upset
 Demons, Mav answered and pulled out his phone.  Barnabas, lock the house down. We ve
got demons closing in.
 Tell them they re about ten miles away from Darcy s house but we don t know where they re
heading, Ferris barked out before making a sharp turn into a driveway. Now I understood the
purpose of the seat belts.
 I ll contact Darcy to let him know and send help, Barnabas said on the phone, and I was
amazed I could hear him as if he was right there.
 You won t make it in time, Mav replied as the SUV skidded to a halt. He quickly got me out of
my seat belt and then we were out of the vehicle and racing to the house.
 Oh, yes we will, Barnabas growled and then there was a beep. Mav slipped the phone back
into his pocket as we jumped up onto the front porch. Ferris opened the door and we went inside
before he closed it and locked it.
 We ve got demons a few miles away, he shouted loud enough that it hurt my ears.  Get the
wolves down to the basement!
 Tell me, a vampire demanded as he came barreling down the stairs with a very small man,
Tyler following after them.
 We saw at least three dozen about ten miles out on the main road, Ferris said as he opened a
door to a hidden room under the stairs. I saw various weapons and grabbed a large broadsword.
 There could be more, but we don t know what their target is.
 These are the beings that you are at war with that the Queen told us about? I asked, the pieces
falling into place.
 Yes, Ferris answered, not even glancing at me as he handed out metal weapons. Those the
Queen had showed us, and she had explained how guns worked to the warriors.
 Fire kills them, right? Mav nodded, and I turned and raced back to the front door.
 Asterio, wait! There are too many, Tyler shouted. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
