GETTING INFORMATION AT the hospital wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The staff wasn't helpful at all. I thought I could discuss the teens' conditions with their families, but security thwarted that plan. They weren’t letting anyone near the kids or their families.

I turned away from the nurse's station frustrated with my lack of progress and saw him. I must have looked ridiculous as I gaped at the vampire I had seen at the club. He glanced around to make sure no one had noticed, then beckoned me to follow him. I had no idea if it was safe or not, but my curiosity got the better of me, so I followed him. He led me to an empty patient room, closing the door behind us.

I studied him for a long moment. He had black hair slicked straight back from his face, glistening with some sort of hair product. His skin was pale but not in an it’s-been-a-hundred-years-since-I-saw-the-sun kind of way. It was more of a natural paleness. His eyes were a rich, dark brown with dark lashes under thick eyebrows, but they had a dangerous gleam to them. This man was a predator, and he liked it. But what truly held my attention was the utter lack of sparkles. Maybe it had been a trick of the light at the rave. Or body glitter? “Please tell me you wear body glitter to raves?” The words tumbled out before I knew I was speaking making me flush.

He raised his brows, and his mouth quirked in barely repressed humor, but he nodded. I breathed a sigh of relief at the knowledge that vampires did not, in fact, sparkle. I wouldn’t have to write an apology to Stephanie Meyer after all.

He studied me for a long moment the blush spread from my cheeks down my neck. “Be careful, little Gaia.” His voice was slightly accented, sort of an old European style. “Just because you're not as tasty as humans, doesn't mean I can't eat you up.”

I eyed the door, wondering if I had made a mistake following him in here. I stepped back against the wall. I tried to inch my way to freedom, but he placed a hand on the wall just above each shoulder pinning me in place. I winced and whimpered, reaching out with my abilities for something to help me. The sterile hospital was barren, not even a rat to send to bite his ankles.

“Relax.” The vampire stroked a finger along my neck. “I'm not going to hurt you. I don't play with my food, though it looks like you'd be fun to play with.” He eyed me up and down in a way that made me feel like I needed a shower.

Fear shot through me. I might be in very real danger. I was prepared to fight him if I had to, but something told me I would lose. Maybe there was a way to outsmart him.

He barked a laugh, backing up. “You young ones are so much fun.
