Chapter 13

I called Bone Daddy as soon as I woke up. Vicki picked up and said he wasn’t available, but she proved very informative. I don't think she wanted me to come over, so she gave me phone numbers and addresses of several places that sold blood.

The nearest one to me was in Deep Ellum. That was only a few blocks away from my rental. So I changed into jeans and a black t-shirt emblazoned with Trouble in red. I grabbed a small empty backpack and headed out. I decided to walk since it was so close.

The neighborhood was mixed, mostly Hispanic. With my waist-length black hair left loose and parted down the middle, I didn't rate any more notice than any other young woman walking down a dark street at night. Though there were far more people outside than I anticipated.

I wasn't half a block into Deep Ellum before I spotted her. A young Hispanic woman in a tight red latex mini dress. The dress was backless with a deep scoop neckline, barely containing her rather generous bosom. Her legs were showcased in black fishnets and stiletto pumps. Her aura was big and gray. Vampire.

My breath caught when I realized what she was. She glanced over her shoulder at me. Her black hair was arrow straight, mid-back, with long bangs that dropped in her heavily made up eyes. Her lips were darkest red.

"You're a vampire," I said.

"Duh." Her eyes gave me a once over. "I see you've joined the club."

She walked away. I followed her, but only because we were going in the same direction. She led me straight to the shop I was looking for – Bloody Mary's Coffee Shop.

No one gave us a second look, not even a double take at the sexy latex Latina. Are these people that jaded? There were a dozen small bistro tables, with fifteen patrons scattered across half of them. Most of the patrons were young women. Before I was halfway to the counter in back, I realized five of the women and two of the men there were vampires. To my surprise they looked perfectly normal, dressed much like me, with nothing about their appearances or manner proclaiming vampire to the casual eye. Only their auras betrayed their true nature.

"How can I help you?" a middle-aged woman behind the counter said. She was mortal, short, and heavy with short frosted blonde hair and a friendly smile.

"Uh," I said. That made the Latina cut her eyes at me, and grin knowingly. "I… um… I need a To Go order, please."

"Okay," the clerk said. "What'll you have?"

"Ten pints… of…" Was I allowed to say blood? Was it a secret? I pointed at the Latina. "Of what she ordered."

"Pints?"

I stared at her. What was I supposed to order? Blood was not on the menu board above the counter.

"Give her a break, Sally," the Latina said. "She's new." She looked at me, "This your first night?"

Did I smell of brand spanking new vampire?

"First night? Oh, no.
