Chapter Fifteen

It turned out the car that that waste-of-blood, Foster Reynolds, was hiding in his garage was a ‘67 Aston Martin. Who knew such a loser would have such a sweet car?

Taos pressed the accelerator down and the engine roared like a caged dragon. He took the curves without taking his foot off of the gas, relishing in the way the car’s tires seemed to be held to the asphalt by something more powerful than gravity. The night air was cool, but the road still held the heat of the day and a fine gossamer mist hovered a foot from the ground. Taos leaned his head out of the window, allowing the brisk wind to grab at his hair, sting his eyes. He laughed and howled at the crescent moon just clearing the treetops. He loved to drive. The automobile was by far his favorite technological advancement of this age.

“Slow down,” Suhail said. “This thing is essentially a bomb on wheels. In case you forgot, fire is not our friend.”

Taos sighed and lifted his foot from the accelerator, allowing the car to coast to a slower speed. Suhail was a sour companion and more of a killjoy than Kole had been.

“What are you pouting about?” Taos asked.

Suhail stared out the window, his chin resting on his fist like some whiny mortal child. “I can’t believe this has happened. This is not how it was supposed to be.”

“It’s been a strange one,” Taos said with a grin. “I never would have guessed we’d be hunting Kole.”

Suhail glanced at Taos, his eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. “I wish I knew where this Silvanus disappeared to. I would love to burn him slowly from the toes up.”

Taos laughed. “Something tells me he wouldn’t let you do that.” Suhail’s face hardened. Taos forced the smile from his face. He didn’t like Suhail or his sullen, morose attitude, but though he looked like a teenager, Suhail — like his insufferable sister — was much older and far too strong to risk incurring his wrath. If Kole had taught him anything, it was to respect his elders.

Taos tried to hold his tongue, but his curiosity was getting the best of him. “Do you think she was telling the truth? Do you think Jerusa really met Silvanus in the sunlight?”

Suhail pondered the question for a moment. “No. I think she’s lying.”

“But how could he draw the savage venom out of her? How did he not become savage himself? How was he able to vanish like he did?”

“How should I know?” Suhail snapped back. “When we find him, you may ask him.”

Taos was silent for a moment, but he didn’t like the quiet. “I don’t think he is a vampire. He didn’t have any fangs.”

Suhail sighed. “Don’t be an idiot. Of course he is a vampire. How else could his blood have turned Jerusa? He just has a special gift. One we haven’t seen before. That’s why we must find him. Bring him before the Stewards. Damn Kole,” he said with a sudden spark of rage.
