NINE

~ The Difference Between Hawks and Hounds ~

Macey followed Chelle and Dottie down the steps from the balcony, all the while staring out over the crowded room. She held tightly to the railing so she wouldn’t trip, for her attention was not on her descent. Despite her intense observation, it would be impossible for her to tell who was a vampire, unless she was standing next to them.

Which meant, she realized with a sudden unpleasant quiver in her belly, that she should probably figure out what to do if she did find one.

Had she brought a stake?

No. She didn’t have room for one in her tiny pocketbook, and frankly, she hadn’t thought about it. She didn’t plan on seeing any vampires tonight. It was her day off. Her evening out.

Heart pounding, lips pressed together tightly, Macey wove her way through the crowd in Dottie and Chelle’s wake. There wasn’t anything she could do at the moment. She’d have to play it by ear.

The woman in the blue dress had finished her song and, after accepting an enthusiastic but random smatter of applause, left the stage. Moments later, a group of seven young women in shocking, skintight outfits that showed most of their legs and a deep vee of cleavage on each one, took the singer’s place. Around the crown of the head each of them wore a headband with tall, graceful feathers and a great number of sequins. A small band to the side began to play loudly, with an emphasis on brass and percussion, and the ensemble launched into their act: a singing and dancing routine that seemed to capture the full attention of every male in the place.

Including Al Capone.

Macey couldn’t help but notice the gangster, who’d taken a seat at a round, high-walled booth next to the stage. He seemed to be enjoying the performance, along with the others in his group. savior who carries the deepest taintH5lap

Just after receiving her vis bulla, she’d heard Sebastian and Chas talking about Capone and Count Alvisi, who was a powerful and dangerous vampire. From what she’d gleaned, they were concerned Alvisi would get to Capone—who was his mortal equal when it came to violence and power—and turn him into a vampire.

Being turned undead required some participation on the part of the victim. After being drained of most of his blood, the mortal must then drink the blood of the siring vampire. Then he or she would slip into a state of unconsciousness, and upon awakening, would be turned.

The other fear expressed by Sebastian was if Capone wasn’t made undead, then he might be enticed into becoming involved with the Tutela.

“What’s the Tutela?” She figured she had the right to know what they knew, being a new Venator and heir to Il Gardella—whatever that meant. She’d read a little about the secret group in The Venators, but Macey had already learned there was much information missing or misconstrued in Mr. Starcasset’s book. Thus she took none of it at face value.
