We divided our numbers and luggage into the three separate vehicles. There was a nice Honda sedan for Anna and me and a Nissan SUV for Marshall, Lulu, Cat and Gabriel. The Toyota sedan was given to Lea and her crew to drive. All of the cars had extremely tinted windows for obvious reasons.

Doors slammed shut, engines revved, and soon we were on the dark highway traveling north towards Dallas. I was happy I was riding with Anna alone. I kept thinking about all of the questions I could ask her to get to know her better and to learn more about real vampires. However, every time I opened my mouth to ask one of those questions, she would flash me those brilliantly blue eyes of hers, and the words would catch in my throat. She was so beautiful, stunning really. My hands got all clammy just being near to her. Her smell was otherworldly. Being near her was intoxicating.

I managed some pleasantries, but with Anna, I never knew if she was enjoying the idle chit chat or if she was utterly bored with my comments on how clear the night’s sky was. Did vampires make chit chat? Did they care about a clear night? She responded often enough to my observations with few observations of her own, but hers always seemed like hard-earned facts you might read out of a textbook. If I said the moon was full, she would reply, “The moon is actually a fraction smaller than it was last night.” How do you compete with that?

There were a few times that I needed to stop for a bathroom break, and I always took the time to purchase some food during these stops since vampires really didn’t think of food often. Anna seemed to be mindful of my needs and began to try to time when they would occur. I thought of asking her if vampires needed to use the bathroom, but my question was answered on the second pit stop. All eight vampires walked into the small gas station with the purpose of occupying its bathroom stalls, and I just stood by in wonderment as they exited. I had to ask her when we got back in the car, bad taste be damned.

“Excuse the question, but do you guys actually use the bathroom?”

She laughed out loud at the question, which made me feel better about asking. The laughter lightened the very air of the car, and some tension in my shoulders released at the sound of it. It jingled in my brain.

“Of course we do. It’s just not quite the same as you. That whole no-bathroom thing goes with the undead myth. See, feel,” she said as she grabbed my hand and pressed it to her chest.

Her skin was warm and rock solid, and I could feel her pulse beating very slowly beneath her rib cage. My pulse quickened and my breath caught in my lungs while I touched her. My face grew hot, and I knew I had to be blushing.
