I moved swiftly through the night. As I moved I realized there were fewer and fewer people around.

There was a time when I would've found that emptiness eerie or unsettling. When I would've thought there was something supernatural at work. Something keeping prying eyes away from the hunt.

Still, I couldn’t knock the convenience for all that it was an unsettling convenience.

Nobody out and about meant nobody to witness me moving faster than any human had any business moving. Nobody out meant no witnesses to see what happened when I reached Diana.

I fervently hoped I wouldn't come across her killing the girl. Or worse, find the girl already dead.

Even worse than that. Diana could somehow manage to turn her.

I shivered, and then I shivered again at the strangeness of feeling. I wasn't sure that I liked it, but it's not like the spell that had come over me since I first saw the girl was anything I’d asked for.

I slowed as her scent grew stronger. She was close. I stopped and inhaled deeply.

There was another scent on the air. One that was more familiar than the girl, though far less interesting. Far less intoxicating.

I let out a noise of disgust and looked around. Sure enough, there behind a tree was Diana. I could see her as plain as day even in the darkness.

Her fangs were down. A dull red glow filled her eyes. She flexed a hand and the claws were obvious.

But she wasn't making a move even though she was poised to attack. Why wouldn't she…

I followed her gaze. My eyes came to rest on that girl. She stood with somebody that made me let out an involuntary hiss.

A slayer. And not just any slayer. The head of their organization on campus. Kendra.

Most of them were too incompetent to cause us much trouble. Most of them were content to posture and talk about all the great work they did in between watching reruns of that show that’d utterly failed to get anything right about their lives and work back in the late ‘90s.

They were no better than intramural sports teams trying to relive their high school glory days and convince themselves that intramural was the same as playing for the college team.

It was different with Kendra. She could be dangerous. Very dangerous. Dangerous enough that she could kill Diana. Dangerous enough that I hesitated to attack her.

Directly, at least. Attacking her indirectly was one of the few pleasures I’d drawn from my undeath.

Until I met this new girl who was talking with Kendra while being hunted by that idiot Diana.

I turned my attention back to my pledge who looked poised to strike.

I hesitated for the space of a breath. This presented me with a very interesting scenario.

If there was one thing I could count on in this world it was Diana's stupidity. Her tendency to bite off far more than her fangs could suck.

I could let it happen. I could allow her to do something stupid. I could let her stupidity take care of my problem.
