Chapter Seven

Elaina glanced up from her plate for the tenth time. Each time the chime rang over the door of the quaint restaurant, her heart fluttered. She ran in fear and she was tired of it. They both had a clear view of the entrance. As a tracker, she’d learned to keep eyes focused for threats, and it was in Vicq’s nature to observe.

“You have quite an appetite.”

A glass of chilled water sweated on the placemat in front of Vicq.

Elaina’s gaze trailed to her food. She’d ordered an assortment so she could choose which omelet she preferred, but she had succeeded in eating more than half of each one. “I think you know why.”

Vicq fidgeted with the salt and pepper shakers. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken you so many times.”

“Don’t apologize.” She met his calm hazel eyes. “I enjoyed it.” It had been just what she needed to forget, if only for a moment, her plight.

A glint of sharp fangs flashed against his lips, and then disappeared. “I wish I had been there for you these past couple of years. I just didn’t know how without putting you in danger.”

Guilt rose up in her throat along with the aftertaste of the last bite. She lifted the cool glass to her lips and took a long sip. “You were never dangerous for me, Vicq. I’m the one who made you believe that.”

“You were brainwashed by District Five. You signed up for a mission that was formed to ensure human continuity, but you had no idea at what lengths this organization would go to succeed. Their experiments have become out of hand. After taking so many lives, human or otherwise, in the name of scientific research, you would think someone inside their management would step in.”

“Unfortunately, the corruption has reached the management level and beyond.” Elaina shook her head. “They teach recruits and experienced trackers that the world would become overrun with vampires, and that it would eventually lead to human extinction. They believe Dresdan have no working brain and no real conscience. They think you are animals.”
