Chapter 10

“You will be safe down here,” a man said, emerging from the shadows alongside the edge of the tunnel. He was huge and heavily muscled, well over six feet tall. His shoulders were broad and ended in a defined waist. He was dressed in modern clothing as well. Jeans and a faded calico sweater that seemed to have been designed to look that way. His face indicated that he would likely be the same age as the woman, around thirtyish. His blonde hair fell scruffily over his forehead, his blue eyes utterly charming in a face that looked to have been chiseled from granite.

Amee gasped and then felt foolish. He had tried to make noise, shuffling his feet, so as not to alarm her, she realized, yet he had startled her all the same. “I’m glad,” she whispered. “I can’t thank you enough!”

“Oh no dear, it is our pleasure! We’ve sheltered vampires before but never people. It is our pleasure to be of service.”

Ross glanced at Amee and she tried to force a smile she didn’t feel. She was happy to be alive and she tried to tell herself that was all that mattered at the moment. Not the fact that she might never see her family again. That she would be forever changed by her knowledge of what had happened.

Ross and Amee were led to a huge room that was set up very much like an ordinary living room- except that it was likely miles underground. There were two elegant leather couches, a huge, overstuffed easy chair, a TV mounted to the wall and an electric fireplace. A woven rug covered the hardwood floor. The walls were dry walled and painted a light grey. There was a coffee table with four mugs of steaming hot chocolate set out.

The woman motioned for them to sit and Amee and Ross did. The couch was soft and comfortable despite its designer look. Amee let her weary body sink down. She tripped the mug of hot chocolate and found it was still warm. “How did you know we were coming? This is still hot!”

“Our senses are very strong. That and Bettina came to us weeks ago and gave us the date the transition would take place. She asked us for help and we could not disagree.”

“Your Majesty,” the male vampire whispered. He bowed from the waist.

Amee looked at Ross in time to see how flustered he was. “Please sit…” he said awkwardly. The two vampires looked at each and did as he asked, taking a seat on the sofa across from them. They picked up their mugs and sipped at their hot chocolate as though they were a gathering of friends. They looked to be quite young. Amee wondered how old they actually were.

“I… uh… I was wondering if I might call my parents in the morning. To assure them I’m safe.”

The woman nodded slowly. “Yes I suppose that you should. We try and attract minimal attention to ourselves. It would not look good at all if you were to have disappeared.
