Half an hour later they were back on the Venice boardwalk. ‘So, tell me again what we’re doing here?’ Jax asked drolly.

‘We’re going to capture one of them and find out where their maker is,’ Ariel snarked back at him.

‘Maker? What do you mean?’ Jax asked. ‘You mean the Sucker who gave them the virus?’

Ariel shook her head. ‘You’ve heard of Originals, right?’

Jax stopped abruptly in his tracks. ‘They were destroyed. Ten years ago. A group of rogue Blades killed them.’

‘Hey,’ Ariel hissed in annoyance. ‘It wasn’t just Blades. They had some help.’

Jax paused. The tale went that a group of Blades worked with a group of demons, Shadows included, to take out a nest of a dozen Originals that were planning on overrunning the human realm.

‘So you’re saying they’re back and making more?’ he asked.

Ariel nodded at him daring him to argue. ‘One is.’

Jax took that in. He never would have imagined that was the scenario they were up against. The rumors about Original vampires were terrifying. More Blades than he could count had been killed trying to stop them in the past. ‘And you want to find this one and kill it?’ he asked Ariel, trying to keep his voice down.

‘Yes,’ she answered.

‘But they’re almost impossible to kill without –‘

‘Without a Shadow blade,’ Ariel finished for him, smiling smugly and drawing out a ruby-hilted knife.

It gleamed iridescent in the moonlight. Jax reached to touch it, but she pulled it away. ‘Careful,’ she whispered in the darkness.

‘It’s beautiful,’ he murmured, his eyes locking on hers. He wasn’t talking about the blade.

‘And sharper than a razor,’ she whispered back.

‘Just like it’s owner,’ he answered, laughing under his breath.

‘Where’d you find that?’ he asked. He was fairly sure she hadn’t had it on her earlier.

‘I borrowed it back from Jimmy. It was my father’s,’ she added in a quieter voice.

Jax felt a little better knowing that they had a weapon that could make a dent in an Original but still not good about the situation. As far as he was aware there was no other way of killing them than by severing their heads with Shadow steel.

Silently they edged closer to the pier. There was no shrieking or cackling tonight, but he could sense something was there, lurking in the shadows. His guess was that there were at least one or two, but they’d need to get closer and check.

‘I wonder how that girl is,’ Ariel mused as they got edged closer, ‘the one who got away.’

‘She’ll be a Sucker by now,’ Jax answered, scanning the beach, checking they weren’t being followed. Occasionally the cops liked to run a patrol through the area, though so infrequently Jax often wondered if the police commissioner was in cahoots with the demons. ‘We should have killed her while we had the chance, put her out of her misery.’

Ariel made a sound like a grunt. He didn’t know whether or not she agreed with him. He just knew that if he was ever infected he’d want to be killed.
