“She never told me this,” I said through clenched teeth, fists balled.

“They wiped her memory of it, and then used her suit to speed the healing process. She had no idea it even happened.”

I took a deep breath. “Does it get worse?”

She nodded.

The next video began. I stood at Eve’s side in front of the arena, where soldiers had just released ten vampires into the arena at once. “They want us to slay them all?” she asked, apprehension in her voice. “This is the first time they’ve given us more than two vamps at a time. Where are Titus and Abram?”

“They aren’t coming,” I answered quietly. “These are yours to slay, Eve.”

Victor entered his viewing box, unbuttoned his freshly pressed suit jacket, and sat down.

“Don’t show them weakness,” I continued to coach her, “or the vamps will see you as a meal.”

“Good,” she grinned, winking at me. She flicked her eyes to Victor, more worried about his opinion than ten vampires. “There’s no way I can fight more than a few vamps at a time. This is crazy,” she said, louder.

“Show us what you can do, Eve!” Victor shouted. “It’s them or you.”

A camera was trained on her as she stepped up to the door. It slid open on whisper-quiet tracks and quickly closed behind her. Surrounded by vamps, she backed up until her back bumped against the door, then she turned around and began banging her fists on it. The vampires smiled, closing in on her. She lifted her head and smiled at me through the glass door, removed two stakes from her holster, and struck so fast, none of them saw her coming. In less than a minute, she’d slayed ten vampires single-handedly.

Victor gave her a satisfied nod as he stood, and then clapped in appreciation. “Well done!”

She gave him a bow and walked to the exit where she handed me her stakes. “I did it!” she exclaimed. “I knew I had to strike fast because there were so many, but that was intense.”

“Clever – making them think you were scared.”

“I was scared,” she admitted, adrenaline still pulsing through her as she bounced on her toes.

“So was I,” I responded, glaring at the space Victor had just occupied.
