Chapter Seven

Twilight comes on rapidly in the swamps. Nicole sat on the porch - waiting and frantic with worry. As darkness gathered around the little shack, she contemplated spending another night.

But then she heard the low hum of an engine.

Some of her anxiety faded when she saw Alec maneuvering a boat around some trees protruding over the water. A moment later, he was at the dock and the boat’s engine went silent.

Nicole flew down the stairs to greet him. When he stepped onto the dock, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed his lips lightly.

Her actions surprised her. The moment she’d seen him - she felt like a heavy weight had lifted from her heart.

He was safe!

“I thought something had happened to you,” she said.

He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. “Why do you do this to me Nicole?” he whispered in her ear.

“What?” She stepped back, smiling innocently.

He stared at her with those eyes - those stunning eyes that sent heat coursing through her body whenever she looked at them.

Alec reached out to softly caress her face. “You are as beautiful as you are innocent.”

Nicole blushed. She was unaccustomed to being showered with compliments.

“What about Ethan?” she asked, changing the subject. “Did you get him away from Omar?”

Alec shook his head. “They are not keeping him at the Cell, like I thought they were.”

“So now what? Do you think they’ve done something to him?”

“Will you take me to your vampire friend?” he asked, without answering her question.

This was troubling. Alec didn’t seem nearly as confident about Ethan’s fate, as he had when he’d left her at the shack.

Nicole opened the door and stepped inside the tattoo parlor. At first the room appeared to be empty, but then she saw Dash lying on one of the chairs with his eyes closed.

“Dash.” Nicole spoke his name loudly, thinking he might be sleeping.

Do vampires sleep?

This was just one of many questions she wanted to ask Alec. She added it to her mental checklist of stuff she wanted to know about vampires.

One eye popped open. “Oh bloody hell … not you again! What is this … tempt a vampire week?”

It was then Dash noticed Alec standing behind her.

Dash stood up and backed away - ready to flee at the first sign of movement from Alec. “Hey … I didn’t touch her … I swear!”

“Is that so?” Alec glared at him with a predator’s eyes.

“Well okay,” Dash shrugged his shoulders. “I may have asked for a bit of a taste … but she said no.”

“Relax, we’re not here because of that,” Nicole told him. When she glanced back at Alec, she was surprised at the dark look he was giving Dash.

At least she hoped that wasn’t the reason they were there.

“Oh.” Dash gave them a sheepish grin. “Well in that case … how can I help you?”

“I want you to tell me what you know about the Place of Light?” Alec stepped closer, and Dash backed away.

“I told the girl what I know.
