Time slowed. I started to scream for him to stop. Not to do it. Jeffries looked to the elf in confusion, expecting him to attack.

The glass of the only windows in the library exploded inward. A shadowy winged figure could barely be seen as it landed in a shower of shards.

Jeffries spun, taking his eyes off Daren and myself. I lunged and miraculously grabbed the elf. We crashed to the ground, him on top of me as I slid across a field of broken glass. A wet scream tore through the air where Jeffries stood. As soon as we stopped, I rose as fast as possible into a crouch, ready for the attack that never came.

A black skinned demon feasted upon what had once been Jeffries throat, ignoring me for now. I grabbed Daren and pushed him toward Cosmo, who stood there silently watching the whole exchange with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Run," I hissed at the two of them, spinning back again toward the stuff of nightmares.

Jeffries stared at me over the demon's shoulder until his head rolled lifelessly backward onto the floor with a wet thud. Images of Vic flashed in my memories. The demon had completely chewed through his neck. She lifted the twitching body up and began to dance in circles, flashing me smiles with every pirouette…

Her face was covered in mire, but she was still beautiful. If you found black scales, fangs, horns, and blood red eyes attractive. I hated to admit it, but I kind of did. She was breathtaking. Until the moment she shoved her arm down the stump of Jeffries' neck and pulled his heart out through it. She dumped the body and took a bite of the heart like a princess with an apple.

"Hi. Hello," she said talking with her mouth full.

"Hello?" I made my greeting a question. One murder every three days and she had just fed. I had no idea if she was going to attack me or not. Technically she'd just helped me, but I had no idea why.

"I see you finally came. I've been waiting for you forever. Days."

"Um… Who are you?"

"Your enemy. Your friend. Your cousin. Your savior. Your torturer," she said, ticking off names on her fingers, heart still clutched in her fist. "Most just call me Rayna. Bad."

"Hi, Rayna. I'm Ash."

"I know. Your father sent me to find you. Kill," she said, taking another bite of heart.

Fear seized me. Vampires don't sweat, but for the first time in my life I had a feeling I was about to start. I took an involuntary step backward.

"Oh, don't be afraid. Yet. I'm not done playing. Feeding. You can run in a minute. Later. I probably won't hurt you. Tonight. It's been a long time since I've been able to run free in the mortal realm. Food. You have other problems to deal with. Council. Deal with them first. Survive. Maybe. Then we'll play. Feast. Maybe even fuck. Sex. You loved my daughter. Victoria. Stole her from me you did.
