Chapter 11

I sprint after Niko, shoving people out of the way as I struggle to close the distance between us. He's moving fast. Much faster than I expected. Was he holding back when we raced during the tournament? Or maybe it's just desperation. Even once he's out of my sight I can smell the tang of his blood on the air, cutting through the stink of booze and human bodies. A cut from a silver knife won't heal quickly. He knows it, and he knows he won't be getting away from me like that. Which means he is definitely going to try some stupid bullshit. I need to get out of this crowd, both for the sake of speed and in hopes of avoiding collateral damage.

I shove my way to the side of the crowd and vault up onto a fire escape, flying up the metal towards the roof barely touching the steps. Big upside to vampirism- instant parkour master. The senses heightened by the transformation aren't just sight and smell after all. My sense of balance is better, my depth perception more accurate. Unfortunately, even the vampire virus can't give you the benefits of experience. Niko has the same heightened senses as I do, and he's been using them a lot longer. Still, there's nothing quite like the sensation of flying over the rooftops, leaping from building to building, dragging yourself up by your fingertips or your core muscles alone, with absolute unshakable faith in the power of your own body. It almost makes all the other bullshit worth it, honestly.

I spot Niko, still down on the street but moving fast, employing the same skills I am as he vaults from cement barrier to car roof to parking meter to bike railing like an acrobat on speed. My fingers itch for my knives, or better yet a gun, but I can't risk it while he's surrounded by innocent people. Which is exactly why he's still down there. Asshole.

I see something in my peripheral and risk a glance to the side. On the other side of the street Arsen is vaulting across the roof tops as well, keeping pace with me. When all this is over, I want to race him again. Or better yet, just let him chase me and see how long it takes him to catch me, and how worked up I can get him before he does.

But for the moment I'm just glad he's beside me, going after the same goal, the asshole currently crashing through an unfortunate hot dog cart. Hope you got covered in hot dog water, douchebag. Hope you never get the smell out.

Glancing back, I can see Jackson in the distance, followed by several rough looking strangers, presumably his other hunters. But he won't be catching up in time. I've learned first-hand that Jackson it nothing to fuck with, but a human can never hope to match a vampire in pure speed.

Up ahead, the party thins out as the street turns into an old jumper's bridge crossing a deep waterway.
