Chapter Twenty

Back in my minivan, seated in the front seats, we turn and face each other.

“To see the creature in question, I’m going to slip into your thoughts, if you don’t mind,” says Alexis. “Is it okay if I hold your hands?”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Holding hands helps the connection. Fellow immortals aren’t the easiest minds to read.”

“But you can read them?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Back in the day, I never could.”

She nods. “Telepathy is my kind’s preferred mode of communication. As such, it’s particularly powerful for us.”

“Makes sense.”

“You no longer use telepathy?” she asks.

“It went away when my dark master got the boot.”

She nods. “Vampires aren’t known for this particular skill. Mind control, yes.”

“Can you use mind control?” I ask.

She shakes her head. “But my charm has a similar effect. One who’s under it must do my bidding.” She emphasizes the words, chuckling lightly.

I get the sense that she, too, rarely controls people unless absolutely necessary.

“Tis true,” she says, gently taking my hands. “I don’t need to go very far back, right?”

“Right,” I say. “I had the... I’m not sure what to call it... vision? Psychic hit? About forty-five minutes ago.”

Boy, I really hope she doesn’t go too far back and find herself in Kingsley’s bedroom last night. The big fella had been particularly passionate. Which meant lots of sweat, matted hair, and grunting.

“Got it,” says Alexis, winking. “No bedroom scenes.”

“No one needs to see that,” I say.

“Agreed,” she says, chuckling.

When she closes her eyes, I do my best to clear my mind, giving her easier access to the vision I had seen just a few minutes earlier when holding the damaged flipper. Meanwhile, I’m doing my best to ignore her hands holding mine. I definitely don’t have much, if any, attraction to the same sex, though I can appreciate beauty when I see it. That said, I can see how men, women, you name it, would be putty in her hands. Poor Kingsley hadn’t stood a chance.

A minute later, she releases my hands. I have to admit, I enjoyed her touch. Yeah, her charm is that powerful, even when she’s not trying. “Did you see it?” I ask.

“I did, yes.”

“Any clue what it is?”

“Me, personally, I haven’t a clue. Licinia has some thoughts. She would like to speak to you. Do you mind?”

“Licinia?”

“My dark master.”

“Ah, right. Yeah, sure.”

I have to admit I’m a bit jealous that she could have such a casual and friendly relationship with she who possesses her. Then again, Elizabeth had used me for a greater purpose... well, a greater purpose for her. I had, after all, been instrumental in the releasing of magic back into this world. It didn’t appear that Licinia had any such designs on Alexis.

“Okay, here she is, Sam. I will step back for a few minutes.”

With that, her eyes briefly roll up in her head, then drop back down and level on me. The fire in her pupil is gone. After all, the entity herself is now front and center. No need to hide in the shadows.
