BOBBIE:

AN ANCIENT VAMPIRE WHO could come and go at will inside of the castle. That was what he was saying. That was a sure problem. Rafael had always told me never, ever invite a vampire into your place.

Why should I get involved? This was scary shit. Yeah, but how could I not get involved? This Allora bitch had beheaded my grandmother!

Okay, let’s weigh the facts.

I am a witch…but did I have enough training to go against an ancient vampire? No. Simple answer. Ancients had a reputation of being without any semblance of humanity. Hence, they were ruthless and cunning. They were super strong, vicious, determined, and each ancient had his/her own supernatural skills. Ancients were nothing to take on lightly.

That weighed down one of my hands.

What brought up the other hand was the grandmother I had never known because of Allora. Oh, that brought up the other hand big-time.

Allora beheaded her and robbed my mother and me both.

Justice walks a fine line with vengeance. I was cool and collected, so I didn’t think I was after revenge, but I did want justice for the grandmother I never had a chance to meet because of a murdering vampire. Also, ridding the world of an ancient was a good thing.

Here was another matter. My grandmother had unwillingly imprisoned Devin MacLeod. Yeah, he was a vampire, but not one that took human lives to survive. Somehow I knew my grandmother would want me to free him. The fact that Allora killed my grandmother meant that even Allora knew my grandmother would have returned to free him if she had lived.

So, how do I stay alive and work on his rescue?

Naomi, my BFF, survived on pig’s blood. She said that she had to work her other skills to stay as sharp and strong as other vampires who lived on human blood.

She had let me in on many secrets that went on in the vampire world so that I could have my magic on the ready if need be to counter any attack I might encounter.

I knew the story about having to be invited in and that was a plus, but Naomi told me about a vampire who wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and burned down some woman’s entire home to make her come out to him.

So, if I stayed elsewhere, Allora might be just the sort to burn me out.

I had to work on my skills.

Auntie Elle had taught me a spell to use if a vampire was stupid enough to try and attack. Pain is a deterrent, and most witches can induce pain in other supernaturals.

I got good at it and can do it with a thought.

But I needed more.

MacLeod was waiting patiently for me to think things out.

So I told him, “Okay, so we know that whatever vampire was lurking in the woods here at MacLeod might be a spy for Allora. Then again, could be a vampire who had obviously just fed and was hiding. So let’s assume
