Chapter 20

Instead of black night, a long fall, and the promise of brutal pain, Lina's brown eyes greeted me across a span of empty air. Bella stood beside her, staff extended and glowing with blue radiance. Alejandro, for his part, seemed to be piloting an aircraft of some sort. And it was no ordinary aircraft they stood on. It was a flying carpet. A big one.

I could hardly believe my eyes.

"Hurry, child!" Bella shouted. "I can't hold this craft upright much longer."

The carpet slid close enough for me to step across. I braced myself for the onslaught of wind, hoping it wouldn't fling me right off the carpet. Instead, I found nothing but calm, as though I were inside a car, sheltered from the elements. I dragged the Templar along with me, out of the jet and onto the carpet. Alejandro held his hand atop what looked like a sphere of polished black stone veined with green and gold, hovering almost stomach level above the carpet as he rotated it. The carpet banked gently to the left, away from the jet.

I looked at the fatally crippled aircraft and gawked at the blackened ruins of the engine the gunman had fallen into. As we cleared the wings, Bella gave a mighty grunt and the glow from her staff winked out. The jet plummeted like a rock, plowing into the trees with horrible screeches, groans, and the crack of wood. She dropped onto her backside and set the staff aside to wipe beaded sweat from her forehead. Her violet eyes regarded me for a moment. They reminded me so much of Elyssa's, I had to swallow a lump lodged like broken glass in my throat.

I succumbed to my own weariness and slumped to the carpet between the injured Templar and Old Bella. Lina dropped in front of me.

"Oh, Justin! You are so hurt." She pulled a first-aid kit from a satchel and, after looking from it to me a couple of times, shrugged and winced. "I don't think this will help much."

Bella patted her hand. "He's tired, child. Once he feeds, he'll be good as new."

Lina leaned into me for a hug and whispered, "You can feed off me again, Justin. I don't mind."

Bella rolled her eyes. Despite her own, very youthful appearance said, "Young lust. How precious."

Overcoming my state of shock, I found my voice. "How in the world did you find me?"

Bella frowned. "Someone saw men throw you into a truck and speed away. The only men anywhere near our town who would do such a thing worked for Franco, a local drug lord who, until now, has never given us cause for alarm."

"I told the council this snake would bite us one day," Lina said, her brown eyes flaring with anger.

Bella shrugged. "We assume he discovered a North American was in town and wanted ransom."

"No, he and his right-hand man are vampires," I said. "They wanted my blood."

Her eyes grew wide. "Vampires? We never knew."

Lina glared at her. "Because we let those scum grow too strong.
