Unfortunately, Nina wasn't sure of anything anymore, though he was damned convincing when he threatened the ensuing of hell. "Wait, if your clan is four hundred years old and you're almost five hundred ..." That meant she'd caught him in a lie.

He turned to her with a grin, the white of his teeth catching the light from the screen. "It just took time for me to gather the masses and find people who wanted to carry out my evil plan. I floundered for the first hundred years, but then I got my act together, interviewed as many evil freaks as I could, and now, here I am. A clan owner. Who knew?"

Nina giggled. "I don't get the clan dynamics at all. You're allowed to create your own clan?"

"Allowed should be used loosely here. We're not disallowed, but we're not encouraged to leave our creators either." He held up a hand when he saw she was going to confirm that's what she'd been saying all along. "Before you get all crazy over that statement, hear me out. No, we're not encouraged to leave who created us, but you can if you're willing to stand on your own two feet or if you disagree with a group's politics. Some vampire rules are hard and fast—some not so much.Anyway, there are those that feel as I do. No one should be forced into this way of life. I'd like to think the clan I've created is a haven for those beliefs. We are where we are, and we've found a way to accept it.We just want to live out eternity in peace."

Shit, he was making her waffle. She wanted to believe he was callous and freaky, yet he sounded soooo credible. "So because Lisanne created you, that was an automatic entry into her clan?"

He nodded, but said nothing, the muscles of his neck flexing.

"I'm guessing you didn't like Lisanne and her clan?"

The air between them changed, losing the relaxed feeling Greg had set when he'd first sat down. "No. No I didn't."

That sounded like an end of statement, and tonight, Nina didn't want to fight. Her emotions were seesawing too wildly. She'd hugged Marty, for God's sake. The world had tipped on its axis, while she clung to the edge of it. "Did you belong to any other clans after Lisanne's and before you created your own?" She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, watching as his face hardened for a moment.

"I did."

"And you didn't like it?"

"Nope."

His one word answer meant it wasn't open for discussion. "Why have a clan to begin with? I don't get it."

"Vampires are bestowed with certain gifts, Nina. Like flying and mind reading. Each clan member has strengths and weaknesses. As a whole, we're far stronger together than apart. We're all connected mentally to one degree or another. It's strength in numbers. An all-for-one kind of deal."

"Very Three Musketeers," she teased.

"I felt differently than the majority of clan members when I was turned. I decided I couldn't be the only one who felt that way, some were just too afraid to speak up.
