Chapter 14: Theory of Evolution

"He's playing you." Eli was sitting propped up on my bed, watching me get ready for the dinner shift at the restaurant, trying to squeeze in one more lecture.

"I know, Eli. You've said that about a million times already. I'm just trying to talk out all the possibilities." I was starting to feel like a little kid getting scolded. I told Eli everything that happened with Alec during our intense moment in the deserted classroom, and for days now, he has been planting anti-Alec propaganda in my head, refusing to believe any of it, or his fuzzy feelings toward me.

I didn't dare tell Eli that the more time I spent with Alec, the more I believed him, and deep down, I wasn't afraid of him, because somehow I knew he'd never hurt me. There was something about the way we moved together so easily, when I pushed, he pulled; when he leaned in, I dipped. It felt like a choreographed tango when we were together, and I found myself becoming addicted to our dance. He was starting to affect me in a way I never let any man affect me, let alone a vampire. It was all very unsettling as I felt myself slipping further into his arms. It was like I knew I was making a big mistake by trusting Alec, but my heart was responding differently to what my brain told me to do.

"All I’m saying is that if Alec, by some miracle, is telling the truth, and there are others like him out there, part of some underground movement toward a new evolution of vampire, someone in the 7th Circle must be involved, right? Why else would Alec say they sent him and yet have no intention of bringing me harm?" I asked, turning away from the vanity mirror to look at Eli directly.

"It's just so improbable. The 7th Circle only sees humans as food sources, and I can't imagine any of them wanting to 'close the gap' as Alec put it." Eli combed his fingers through his hair, completely dumbfounded by all of this.

"Maybe that's just what they wanted you to think. Did you ever meet them? I thought they never went to The Basement or socialized with any vampires but each other?" I was curious to know what this notorious group of killers was really like.

"No one has. Before it became The Basement, it was originally only a space for the seven of them to enjoy their spoils without having to endure the public risks of hunting. It wasn't until they abolished the rule that any vampire could turn a human without their permission that The Basement changed. Subsequently, the vampire population grew so drastically, they tried to accommodate the growing volume by opening
