Chapter 5

Brock sat at the kitchen island counter, wearing a robe, sipping tea. Touching the adhesive strip he had placed on the cut on his neck, Brock felt it throb and tried to stop thinking about it, sipping the chamomile tea he had sweetened with honey.

His mobile phone hummed with a text. Brock checked the time and retrieved it from his bedroom, seeing it was from Eli. Eli had asked, ‘Where are you?’

‘Home.’

Brock’s phone rang right after he sent the text. He sat down again and answered Eli’s call. Judging from the noise in the background, Brock knew Eli was still out partying.

“Home?” Eli yelled into the phone as if he was trying to be heard over the chaos.

“Yes.”

“When did you guys leave?”

“I don’t know. An hour ago?” Brock had no idea. When Daniel bit him, his concept of time vanished.

“Is Lion with you?”

Brock sat up and stared at the steam swirling from his mug. “No. Why?”

“Adrian can’t find Lion, and he’s not answering his cell phone.”

“I have no idea where he is.” Brock blew on the tea, which was still slightly too hot to drink. I’m alone. Daniel took off.”

“Why did you guys leave? Did Daniel and Lion have a fight?”

“No. I don’t know.” Brock didn’t want to involve Eli. Not now. Not when it was getting deadly.

“Adrian said Lion was hot for you. I figured it would make Daniel jealous.”

Brock heard Adrian’s voice in the background, but couldn’t understand what he said. “Eli, I’m very tired. I just want to rest.”

“Hang on.” Brock heard Eli say, “Adrian! Lion is not with Daniel. Go take a chill pill!”

Brock shivered, not wanting to think about a confrontation between two vampires.

“He’s a pain in the butt. I have to tell you, Brock, Adrian is not one of my favorite buddies of yours.”

“He’s okay. He’s probably just drunk.”

“Oh, yeah. He’s wasted.”

“Let me go, Eli.”

“You sure you’re okay? Adrian thinks we should all head to your place.”

“No. I’m ready for bed. Please don’t.”

“Okay, Brock. Tomorrow is Sunday. Sleep in. No racquetball in the afternoon then?”

“No. Can I skip tomorrow?”

“Sure.” There was a pause then Eli asked, “Let me guess. Daniel’s bleeding you too much again.”

“Eli, please. Do not say that in public.”

“It’s so loud in here, no one can hear me.”

“Don’t mention it ever again. Okay?”

“Okay.”

“Bye, Eli.”

“Goodnight, Brock. Call me tomorrow so I know you’re okay.”

“Okay.” Brock disconnected the phone and put it down on the counter. He picked up the tea to sip, and wondered if Lion and Daniel did get together. Two bloodsuckers discussing technique?

Brock shivered in anxiety and took his mug with him to the couch, turning on the TV. It was Halloween week so most of the channels were showing horror films. Brock was freaked out enough as it was, and turned on an airing of an old comedy sitcom.

He curled up on the sofa, like he did when he had a cold, and cupped the tea, zoning out in front of the idiot box.

Daniel exited a chauffeur driven black sedan and walked down narrow lane.
