Chapter Six

Have you ever had a bad night of drinking where you swore off alcohol forever? I think it’s safe to say we all know I had my fair share of nights like that when I was human.

But since The Turn, well, that was not supposed to happen. It hadn’t happened… in all my nights of wild parties, I’d never even felt drunk. Before last night, I didn’t think it was possible to get drunk anymore, which is what made it all so weird what had happened with those guys.

My mind kept replaying it again and again when I was back in my room. I watched my drinks very closely when I was out in public. Your typical date-rape drugs wouldn’t do much to me now that I was a vampire, but the habit was still there. Plus, I was a bit OCD about someone touching my drinks or food.

If they got a slip on me, they’d have to be real good. Never mind the fact that regular drugs shouldn’t impact me, so what the heck did they give me?

I didn’t have the answers, but I knew it must have been something. I would not have responded that way if I was not impaired by something, and it wasn’t just the alcohol. We had already proven that didn’t do that to me anymore. If they did something to me, I would have their asses the next time I saw them, I swear!

Part of me was afraid to think of what might have happened if Damien had not been there. Another part of me was so horribly embarrassed, I wanted to forget the entire thing and pretend it never happened.

Too bad that wasn’t an option.

Damien had asked me to meet him today, out in town. And I had a feeling this wasn’t a typical social call. He’d said we needed to talk away from the prying eyes and ears on campus.

We met at a little ice cream stand that was popular with the tourists. It was right on the river, had amazing ice cream, and several little picnic tables you could sit at while you enjoyed your sweet treat.

When I arrived, Damien was already there. I had never seen him out in the daylight like this. It was always in a dark bar or creeping behind me in the shadows on the street. Out here in the open he was… well, a helluva lot more handsome than I had even realized.

“So, what were you doing following me anyway?” I asked as I sat down across from him at a blue picnic table. Deep down, I felt horribly embarrassed by the whole thing, but I had to play it cool in front of him. I didn’t want him thinking he had affected me like that.

“Hello to you, too, Carmilla.”

“Skip the pleasantries,” I retorted. “Tell me what’s up.”

I wasn’t,” he said, taking a big sip from his cup. “I was following them.”

“What? Oh, are you into dudes? That’s cool, man.” I suppose he found my confusion amusing because he laughed a big belly laugh just then.
