There! There's the house up ahead. You can see the light. All you have to do is get there.

She stepped on the accelerator. And then everything went gray.

Thierry looked around the resort lobby, then glanced at his watch. He'd been doing that every five minutes for about the last twelve hours, and his nerves were starting to fray.

He didn't like leaving Hannah alone. Of course, the ring would protect her when she was away from the house, and the amulet he'd buried in her backy ard would protect the house itself. It was a strong amulet, made for him b y Grandma Harman, the oldest and most powerful witch in the world, the Cro ne of the Inner Circle. It set wards around the house, so that no Night Pe rson could enter without a direct invitation from somebody who lived inside.

He still didn't like leaving Hannah alone.

Only a little while longer, he told himself. It had 'taken him most of last n ight and all of today to call in enough of his own people to set up a plan fo r watching over Hannah.

She'd told him to go away, and he had. Her word was law to him. But that di dn't mean he couldn't have her guarded. She need never realize that there were Night People around her, watching and waiting in the shadows-and read y to fight to the death if any danger appeared.

Lupe had been right. He couldn't deal with this alone. And now he was going to have to rely on other people to keep Hannah safe.

Thierry looked at his watch again. It was nine o'clock at night, and he wa s almost tempted to give up on Circe. But only a witch of her power could set up the kind of heavy-duty wards that would protect Hannah wherever she went in Amador County.

He kept waiting. As he did, he stared at a gun rack on the wall and tried to ke ep his brain turned off. It didn't work.

Ever since he'd awoken Hannah from her hypnotic trance, he'd been trying ve ry hard not to think about the old days. But now, he found himself being ir resistibly drawn back-not only thinking about them, but reliving them. Trav eling back in his mind to the stupid young man he had been. . . .

He hadn't been the first vampire. He didn't have that distinction.

He had only been the second.

He'd grown up in the tribe of Maya and Hellewise. The Maya and Hellewise

, the twin daughters of Hecate Witch Queen. The Maya and Hellewise who w ould go down as the two greatest figures in Night World history; Hellewi se Hearth-Woman as the ancestress of the Harman family, the most famous of the living witches, and Maya as the ancestress of both the lamia and the made vampires.

But of course he knew nothing about that at the time.

All he knew was that they were both pretty girls. Beautiful. Hellewise had l ong yellow hair and deep brown eyes.
