Chapter 18

Before I could answer, the long-haired vampire blinked in front of me and smashed his flat hand into my chest, sending me flying backward through the air. I slammed into a thick tree trunk. My head jerked back, hitting it just as hard.

Pain exploded in my body and my vision blurred. I’d never felt so much agony! But in my next breath, fire surged within me and licked at my muscles, my bones, every part of me that hurt. It was the only good thing about having fire as my gift. It healed me almost as fast as I could be hurt.

While it worked its magic, the other vampires separated the others. Ireland did her best to fight them. I’d never seen her fight before, and I could see why the others said what they did about her. She was a beast, fast and strong. She managed to get in a few good hits, but the vampires were simply too fast for her.

In less than thirty seconds, the female had slammed Ireland to the ground and straddling her. Ireland screamed a slew of curse words, but this only angered the vampire more. She punched Ireland in the face, and my friend fell silent.

On the other side of the clearing, the short-haired vampire had turned his attention to Becca, who backed up into the forest as he stalked her. She shouldn’t go that way. We might not be able to find her. Maybe that was the vampire’s goal.

Bonnie backed away from Long Hair, who was being surprisingly gentle compared to the other, but not in a I-won’t-hurt-you manner, in more of a I-like-to-play-with-my-prey sort of way.

I came to my feet, the pain I’d felt a moment ago almost a distant memory. It only took a thought to summon fire to my hands, the quickest I’d ever done it. I didn’t stop to be impressed with myself. I simply let the flames fly, aiming first for the short-haired vampire. He sensed the blast coming and tried to dodge, but with a flick of my wrist, the fire turned in mid-air and hit its mark. The vampire burst into flames with a high-pitched squeal that hurt my ears.

The sound captured the attention of the other two vampires, and they hissed at me. The female vampire leapt from Ireland and moved so fast I barely had time to duck before her fist crashed into the tree I’d fallen from. Bark and debris polluted the air.

Becca hurried over to Ireland to help her to her feet. Bonnie was frozen in place, mouth open and tears filling her eyes even though the long-haired vampire had left her to come after me.

Realizing the female had missed me, she growled and darted for me again. My fire exploded in the air near her, taking her off guard. She hesitated, like she was wondering if I was worth it.

“I’m not,” I said to her. “Leave, because I don’t just smell like Hell. I am Hell.”

I made fire appear again, this time catching her on the arm.
