Chapter Fourteen

Echelon

One truth about tracking down a vampire I am sure of: little progress can be made during the day.

At least in terms of trying to spot him at places he frequents or bump into people that might know him. If I merely tried to hunt him down and destroy him, I’d want to do as much as I could while the sun remained out, when he was at his weakest. Perhaps not very sporting of me, but I kinda like my life.

If we knew the identity of his dark master, I could attempt to make contact with them. Though, given my age and relative obscurity, it is likely they would not trust me.

They’d be afraid of you for being old?

The combination of age and how little I’ve shown myself to them, yes. No doubt they would assume I have been hiding as part of some grandiose scheme to usurp all their power. None of them are capable of appreciating the simple desire to avoid people and their… complications.

Right…

The only lead I have is the bar where Willow works. So, I wait for dark and drive out to West Seattle. For most of the ride, I argue with myself about if I should really find this guy. Willow would be better off in control of herself, not as a vampire’s puppet. Maybe I’m still having a case of the maudlins from my dream, but part of me doesn’t want her to throw her future lives away to become a vampire, at least not without fully appreciating what she would be doing.

About the only circumstance in which I could see myself turning someone would be if I had a child I and they’d been wounded to the point where if I didn’t turn them, they’d die and I couldn’t bear to part with them. And, since it’s impossible for me to have kids as a mermaid, that’s an impossible scenario. Without the lack of objectivity that comes from being too close to someone, I can appreciate that it’s better for them in the grand cosmic scheme to reincarnate.

Then again, perhaps living one long, beautiful life, full of magic, power, and adventure makes up for all the reincarnating. Perhaps being absorbed by the Source of All That Is, is better than reincarnating in, say, a desolate world wracked by nuclear war.

I told Willow I would find her boyfriend, so that’s exactly what I’ll do. Worrying about how to proceed after finding him can wait. For all I knew, she naturally craved such a master/slave relationship. Indeed, such bonds existed now, in the world of BDSM. No supernatural thrall needed. Just a desire to be controlled, or be in control.

Okay, this just got weird. Time to work.
