Chapter 8 – Trinity

She had me turn off my cell then after ten or fifteen minutes of losing tails, we drove out of the city gates. I realized I was holding my breath as I turned back to see Seattle from this vantage point for the second time in my life. She drove through the streets of the city as it just seemed to continue after the outer gap by the city walls.

It looked the exact same as the city inside the safety of the gates, except the lack of FMBs, but I felt oddly exposed and vulnerable. Like all the people in the traffic we passed and the people on the sidewalk were staring at me, knowing I was Clean Blood. Though I knew, I just imagined it. The few looks we got when we were stopped at a red light were from a couple drooling men who had their eyes plastered on Ella.

I blushed, I couldn't blame them, she was crazy hot. But then I felt not only exposed and vulnerable, but self-conscious that I wasn't very pretty. There was a whistle from a man on the corner and she just casually flipped him off without looking.

Then she grabbed my hand to walk inside with me. I was feeling uncomfortable knowing that most likely all the people around me were cursed wolves. “We thought we'd put you to ease first. You seem so bloody tense, like a rabbit ready to bolt. We thought we would show you that the outside is just like the city. The only difference is that for the roughly thirty-six hours of the full moon, they lock themselves up where you basically do the same thing behind FMBs.”

She pulled me in front of her in line and rested her hands on my hips and looked over my shoulder to the menu. It felt so intimate. Then when it was our turn, she said to the kid that looked to be ten or so at the register, “We'll have the quarter pounder meal, please.” I realized that the boy
