Chapter Six

I was mostly back to normal by the time I went to the balcony to meet up with Andrei. I went early to see if I could catch a glimpse of Stefan again. I did, but this time he looked up and caught me watching.

Feeling a screech of terror up my spine when he turned his leonine eyes to me, I forced a smile and a cheery wave. Don't kill the dummy. Just move along. After staring at me for the longest minute of my life, he jumped down from balcony to balcony like he did the other night and soon disappeared out of my sight.

"You like to live dangerously," Andrei noted, from behind me.

I would not jump. I would not freak. I needed to get used to this. This was my new normal. "Do you always have to sneak up behind me like that?" I said, gritting my teeth.

"When it starts to bore me, I'll stop." He handed me the book. "If you don't give it back to me by Wednesday, it's going to be both our butts in a sling."

"Don't worry. You can trust me."

"That remains to be seen," he said. "I heard you had a run in with the wolves today."

"Just making friends where ever I go," I said weakly, remembering the intense migraine.

"Stay out of things that don't concern you."

"Not my forte."

"I'm beginning to see that. You know as my blood donor, you'd be under my kiss's protection."

"That sounds very Snow White, Count," I said. "Protect me with a kiss."

"Then again, your mouth might be the death of you before your busy body nature does. You need these bracelets off. I can keep the monsters away."

"I need my father's information more than I need the bracelets off. Have you found out anything?"

"Not yet. I'll need run of the house and she doesn't go anywhere at night. It's rather inconvenient. But don't worry, I'll think of something." Andrei was very cute when he was disgruntled.

"The sooner you do, the sooner you get your blood." I had to say that to remind myself that he was a vampire, not boyfriend material.

"You need to get your priorities straight. Meet me here Friday night after your classes are over. I'll take you to Hellion Falls to meet the kiss then."

Gulp.

A deal was a deal.

"Looking forward to it," I lied.

I sat watching TV with Kim and Tracy after Andrei had wisped away to class. They didn't have much to say and I was starting to fall asleep anyway, so I went upstairs to bed. Our room door was ajar and I heard voices inside. Great, Priscilla was throwing a party. Maybe Andrei would let me nap in his coffin.

“I don’t think this is such a great idea. Remember what happened last time,” a girl's voice I didn't recognize said.

“Shut it, Abigail! Don't jinx this before we even get started, please,” Maya said.

“We really shouldn’t be doing this without talking to Betty,” Priscilla said.

“Doing what?” I asked, stepping into the room.

All three girls turned around just as I clicked the doorknob closed.
