Chapter 23

Neanna Cera perched on the top of St Thomas’ Hospital and trembled from head to toe. She gripped the stonework and her knuckles looked as if they were going to burst through the skin of her slender fingers at any moment.

The thirst was overwhelming now and she struggled to focus on the mission in hand. She was desperate to swoop from the sky and sink her teeth into the neck of one of those humans passing below on their way to work.

I could be down there and quench this thirst in seconds, she tried to convince herself. But what if Fandel should appear with Zach, while I was meant to be keeping watch? I might miss him and he would be left to his brutal uncle.

Neanna fought the temptations that her thirst conjured in her mind, but this wasn’t the sole reason she trembled. The sun was rising, spraying its rays like a pink halo across the river. Her flesh itched and had started to feel sore. She knew it wouldn’t be long before her skin started to blister, leaving her looking as if she had been covered in bubble-wrap.

William had told her not to strike until Fandel had left the city and was well away from people. ‘Wait until we reach a quiet road. Somewhere nice and secluded,’ William had stressed. But that had been over an hour ago and it had still been pitch-black. Neanna had no intention of being burnt to a cinder, so she had altered the plan. As soon as Fandel appeared, she was going to strike. Closing her eyes, Neanna fought the temptation to swoop down and quench her thirst. She rocked semi-conscious on the lip of the hospital building and trembled. Without realising, she had begun to lose her grip, teetering ever nearer to the edge. Then, as she was about to fall, she snapped open her eyes and tightened her grip. She looked down at all those passing humans with that gorgeous warm red stuff pumping through them. Crying out as if in pain, her lips rolled back revealing a gaping red mouth, which was full of razor-sharp teeth. She trembled, and her eyes shone a brilliant blue. In her minds eye, she could see herself lunging down at one of the passing humans and ripping their throat out. She could almost smell and taste the warm red liquid gushing into her mouth and down her throat.

One wouldn’t hurt, would it? She wondered. I’m so thirsty – I can’t bear it – it’s driving me insane. Just a mouthful – that would do. Just one mouthful!

Then snapping open her eyes, her teeth gleaming in the light of the dawn, she readied herself to swoop down and take one of the humans when she saw Fandel’s car speeding from the parking space and go racing across Westminster Bridge.

Without hesitating, Neanna let go of her perch and dropped through the sky like a stone. She raced towards the ground below and, just when
