17 Sweet Avery

Everyone turned their attention in the direction of twelve armed vampiric guards as they escorted a young, human female into the banquet hall we occupied. She was dressed in a deep red strapless ball gown and her long, blonde hair flowed over her bare shoulders onto her upper back. She was extremely pale because of her recent draining and afflicted with dark circles under her pale golden brown eyes. She was a lovely girl and I saw the family resemblance to Jenn, but her face was void of emotion and I knew the look well. She had accepted her fate of death.

The guards led her to the throne as they surrounded her, ready to strike at the first sign of threat. The incredibly heavy security was unexpected and it threw a whole new wrench into our plan to rescue her.

Vincent went to stand at Avery’s side and motioned for his sister to join him, making it possible to pull off the deception of Sol and me drinking her blood. I was relieved, because otherwise, I would have been forced to drink the addicting substance or risk blowing our cover.

Vincent raised his vial into the air and said, “Now, let us all partake of the precious Blood Jewel together.” As he and his sister toasted their vials together, Sol and I lifted ours as well and then pretended to consume Avery’s blood.

Waiters with trays walked through the crowd collecting the empty vials as the murmurs became louder about the delightful taste of the blood.

I saw Gloriana work the crowd as she inched her way closer to me and I dreaded the moment she returned to my side. I could only think about how uncomfortable she made me and I thought of how pissed Chansey would be about another woman getting this close to me.

I lost sight of Gloriana and searched the crowd for her. As I scanned the room in search of her, I took notice of a bizarre expression on Vincent’s face. He watched Solomon curiously and I immediately feared our motive had been discovered, although I couldn’t guess the source.

I tensed when I heard Vincent call out to Sol from where he sat at Avery’s side. “You there, was it Phillip Andrews?”

Solomon was deeply distracted by something and failed to hear Vincent’s summons, so I elbowed him. “Vincent is speaking to you, Phillip.”

He slowly turned his attention to me and said, “What?”

“Our host is calling you, so why don’t you go see what he wants,” I gritted through my teeth, a clear indication for him to get his ass in gear.

“Oh, sure, sure,” he stumbled out then very cautiously walked to where Vincent lounged on the ridiculously grand armrest of the throne where Avery was seated. Solomon was silent, waiting to hear what it was that Vincent was up to and I listened from across the room.

Vincent reached out and stroked Avery’s cheek slowly as he said, “I couldn’t help but notice your special interest in my sweet, sweet Avery.
