Chapter 9

One second she was inside the bedroom suite, and the next, she was falling to the ground. When she hit the grass below, Erin stood there for a second before she realized that she was fine—no broken bones, no bloody cuts of any kind. Glancing up, she squinted from the bright sun. It burned her eyes, but she still managed to catch sight of Mikael. She could see his intentions clearly and knew that he would be following her.

Turning her back to him, Erin took off, running. She didn’t look back to see if he was gaining on her. Her high heels hit the street as she moved at lightning speed. The scenery around her was blurry at best, causing her to feel dizzy and disoriented, but she didn’t stop. Erin needed to put distance between her and Mikael.

When she finally stopped, she was near the cemetery where she’d lost her friends.

She wasn’t sure how much time had passed since she’d seen them. Were they looking for her? Wrapping her arms around her chest, she slumped her shoulders and kept her head down as she walked, trying to appear inconspicuous. She felt like her whole world was turned upside down in only a matter of hours. Here she was walking the streets of New Orleans wearing her sexy vampire Halloween costume.

Was it wrong to wish this was a dream or elaborate hallucination?

She didn’t want to die. Erin was relieved that she wouldn’t be facing her end, but at what cost? Mikael was right, she wasn’t human. What human could jump from a second story window and run away without a scratch? What human craved blood? And the worst of it all, part of her wanted to go back to that house, to Mikael.

Shaking her head at her own thoughts, Erin weaved her way through the crowds of tourists.

Her stomach cramped in hunger and Erin hurried her pace. The wonderful scent of copper filled her nose and the steady sound of heartbeats rang out clear as a bell, calling to her. Pulling her lower lip into her mouth, Erin bit down hard. She swallowed her own blood, hoping to ease the ache within.

When she reached the hotel, Erin was finally able to breathe out a sigh of relief. She opened the door and the cool blast of the air conditioning hit her. Walking toward the front desk, she waited in the short line until she was summoned.

“How can I help you this morning?”

“Uh…yeah, I’m a guest here. My name is Erin Holmes. I lost my key last night.”

She clicked away on her computer, her brows furrowing, her lips turning down. “I’m sorry. It looks like you checked out.”

“Where are my belongings?”

“I would assume with you since you checked out.”

“I didn’t check out.” She shook her head vehemently. “What about my friends? I arrived with Dani O’Brien. Is she still here?”

“I’m sorry. I can’t give out guest information.”

“Listen, lady, I’ve had a really shitty morning. I need to find my bags and my friends.
