![]() It was exactly what she expected and feared to hear. "You don't – won't report him to the Brethren." She bit her lip, thinking over his words and trying to put things in perspective. A curse…from my father." His lips twisted. "I'm not a vampire, but…" His lips twisted. They stared at each other, Zack rigidly motionless, Joey doing her best to keep herself from shaking. Grief flashed on the handsome face before her. Zack was giving her a chance to walk away, to pretend, to forget.įinally, someone stepped out of the shadows. If what she suspected was true, then her world would never be the same.Īgain, a long silence before she heard the sound of footsteps. Something inside her seemed to break, making her feel wobbly. And completely sounding like the Zack that she had known throughout her life. Only when she was about to lose hope did Joey hear an answer. Swallowing, she said, "Zack, I know it's you." Walking towards the bars, she stopped only when she was a few inches away, certainly easy enough for the one inside the cage to reach her if it – he? – wanted to. Her mind whirled at what this could all mean, but she forced herself to focus on what was most important. Vampires liked to seduce to kill, but this one was not speaking at all. "Zack?"

It should have propelled her to run away, but ironically it was that very sound which made Joey white, gasp, and slowly find the courage to take the smallest step forward. However, it was the not-sensible-part of her that reigned, causing fear to envelop her body and turn her into an unmoving statue.
