As I strolled through the park, enjoying the cold night air, my phone chimed indicating a text message. I pulled my phone out. It was from Kabita.

Ben Landry. Alison’s co-worker. Meeting tomorrow 10am.

I sent her a text back. OK. C U at breakfast. Kabita never used text speak and she hated it when I did. Not that it stopped me.

I wondered just exactly what Ben and Alison’s relationship had been. Had he told her he loved her? Had she loved him back? I wasn’t sure which was worse, losing the person you loved, or having them there in front of you but totally unreachable.

Not that I was in love with Jack of course. It was just a hormone thing. Honest. Besides, he hadn’t given me a chance.

It was then I caught the scent. That same scent that had been taunting me for days, but this time that tingling in the back of my skull came with it. The vampire was close.

I took off at a dead run, following the scent trail that grew stronger with every footstep. He was close, really close.

And then what felt like a Mack truck hit me in the side and sent me tumbling across the grass until I landed in a breathless heap. I staggered to my feet, the stench of vampire drowning out everything else. This time, though, I could smell the reek of a second vamp underneath the original scent trail. Something hinky was definitely going on.

The shadows shifted as I scanned the park. I could barely make out the dim shape of what had to be the vampire.

I slipped out my knife. I was going to have to get in close without getting myself killed. I didn’t have my larger weapons with me and I was loath to use the Darkness again so soon.

I braced myself as the vamp stepped closer and a shaft of moonlight lit his face. It was not what I expected to see. “You’re not the one. You didn’t kill me.”

“Maybe not,” he snarled, putrid breath hitting me full in the face. “But I’m going to kill you now.”

He lunged into me, grabbing me around the throat and throwing me to the ground. There was no way I could stab him through the chest in this position, so I went for the kidneys. Contrary to popular belief, you didn’t need to stab a vamp through the heart. Technically massive blood loss could do it, though it usually wasn’t fast enough.

The knife went through his back, slicing tissue and muscle and sliding into organs, the silver tip burning him like acid. Cold blood spilled over my hand. The vamp screamed loud enough to make my ears ring.

I ripped the knife back out, causing as much damage as I could on the way through. Then as the vamp reared back I sliced backward across his throat. More blood cascaded from the wound, drenching me. I turned my face to avoid getting the vile stuff in my mouth.

I twisted, heaving the dying vamp off me.
