99 Walker Street had a similar set up as Kayla’s own neighborhood. Side by side apartments lined both sides of the road, with street-side doors leading into second floor lofts. In Carrie’s case, she also had a back entrance, offering Kayla and Ethan two points of entry to consider.

Having parked the car a mile away in a small garage, careful to be discreet, they approached the apartment on foot. Exchanging a quick look, they silently agreed to approach the rear of the building. Though both Kayla and Ethan were well armed, their guns were holstered. They were both aware of their limitations. Discretion was critical for safety reasons, but neither of them wanted attention brought to the paranormal world, either.

Kayla surveyed the dark windows, the interior as pitch black as the outside of the building. With her instincts not quite right yet, she felt more on edge than normal.

They squatted down at the edge of the wall, inspecting the door. “I have a bad feeling about this,” Kayla whispered.

“You and me both,” Ethan murmured softly.

A scream from inside the building put them both in motion. “I’ll take the front,” Ethan said, already moving.

Kayla didn’t watch his departure, her attention on the ground in front of her, on the door she had to go inside. A warning screamed in her head and she started running, her hand going to the knife sheathed just inside her jacket at her ribcage.

She had reached for the doorknob when her instincts told her someone was behind her, to her right. She kicked, making hard contact, and drew her knife. Rotating around she found herself faced with not one, but three male vampires. She inhaled, absorbing their emotions, their hatred, and making it her own. Frustrated, as the task was more difficult than usual, she still managed to let their emotions fill her.

She threw a punch, and another, successfully fielding what was thrown at her. This wasn’t the first time she’d been outnumbered, though it was her first time facing vampires. They were strong. So damn strong. But she didn’t let herself think about it. She couldn’t. She would survive and save that girl.

Suddenly, Ethan was there. One of her attackers was thrown aside, tossed like he was nothing. Kayla caught a glance of Ethan as he reached for another attacker, leaving her with only one to deal with, and one she could easily handle.

She kicked him solidly in the chest and he stumbled to the ground. Rushing forward, she straddled him, holding the knife above his chest, ready to plant it in his heart. The old fables about a stake in the heart killing a vampire were true, of course. At least, to some degree. Shove a stake—or, in this case, a knife—in anyone’s heart, and they died. She reared back and prepared to plant the knife.

A male voice roared through the air. “Do it and she dies.”

Kayla froze, knife drawn back, arm lifted high. She looked up for the source of the voice. And
