Vamp Huntress Hunted by Mariana Mendoza (new reading txt) 📕

“ Do that again and I promise you that you’ll be going to the medic room to get your hands and fingers reattached.” I murmured to her. I looked down at my hand that was supposed to hold three of the five blood bags Sauda gave me and found out that I had already finished them. Well, crappers, I really must have been thirsty. I ripped another bag of blood open.
“ Oh there she is. Kira, like I said, you need to go to Hush, right now.”
Now I was on full alert.
“ What? What happened, tell me, Sauda, now.” I command her.
She rolls her eyes but continues.
“ Its been attacked by The Ghost. She left another dead man there. And, Nina….” Sauda didn’t finish her sentence, letting me know something really bad had happened.
“ What, Sauda? Tell me.” I raise my voice a little, putting a little urgency into it.
“ We think she took Ami.” Sauda whispered.
Once the words left her mouth, I was using my vamp speed to get to my car as fast as I could. Sauda followed.
“ I knew it.” I whispered.
“ Knew what?” Sauda asked, curious.
“ That today was going to be the biggest, douchiest day, ever,” I respond, “ Go get me four more blood bags, pronto. I’m assuming sire knows this?” I turn to look at her. Sauda nods.
“ Then go tell Kass and have him accompany sire to Hush. I’ll meet them there. Sauda, you’ll be holding the fort until we come back. Have my top ten patrol the house immediately after they are rev-energized.” I tell her.
“ Yes”
Sauda begins to leave but I stop her just before she gets to the house.
“ Oh, and Sauda?”
“ What?”
“ Don’t tell anyone, and I mean anyone, about this but Kass.”
Sauda nods and quickly goes back in. I grab my car keys from my pocket, start my car, and speed as fast as I can to get to Hush.

The first thing I see in Hush is the ‘closed’ sign hanging in the entrance door. I hurry as fast as humanly possible to it. I open try the knob and see that its open. I enter the coffee shop and look around, trying to see if anyone is there. I could smell Ami all over the place. My heart hurt a little with the thought that it was my fault somehow that she had been kidnapped. I promised that when I found the bitch Ghost, I would do anything in my power to kill her. Because no one messes with my friends and gets away with it.
I could also smell Keir but I know better than to go to him so I did the next best human thing.
“ Hello?” I call out?
“ Oh, thank god you’re here.” Keir yells out to me.
I immediately turn to his direction, careful not to let my vampy speed slip. When Keir got to me, he gave me a huge, hard, hug. I was frozen for a second but patted him on the back, not really knowing what to do. He must be worried about Ami so bad right now.
“ What happened, Keir? Whats going on?” I asked him, separating myself from him.
“ I was just coming to tell Ami good night when all of a sudden, this person dressed in all black comes in and knocks Ami out. Someone tried to help but she killed him and then took Ami with him. Kari, please help me find her.” Keir’s voice was full of sorrow and worry and all he wanted was me to help…..
“ Wait, why did you call me? Why didn’t you call the cops?” I asked him.
“ Ami told me you were in some special task force and that you usually solve these types of things. Plus, Ami would kill me if they forced to shut Hush down.”
I was quiet for a second, weighing my options if I should be angry surprised or just annoyed with my bitch infected friend. That was when Keir took my hands and squeezed them with his. I looked up to see that fear was covering his eyes.
“ Please, Kira, help me get Ami back.” he whispered.
I nodded and slowly peeled his hands off mine.
“ I will, besides, when I’m not being a good friend, I’m at least being a better agent. Show me the body.” I tell him. Finding her would be the least I could do for her since I hadn’t been a good friend for the past year and a half.
He takes me behind the counter, where the kitchen was. He opened the refrigerator freezer and right there, was the dead body of what she thought was a mesh of both human and witch bodies. The sight digested me to the point of almost barfing on it to make the body even more awful.
The stench of two decomposing bodies was way worse than the sight or smell of a burnt one. There were literally maggots everywhere, all over the body, eating any dead flesh in its way. Both their skeletons looked as if they were crushed together, as if to jumble their body parts. Bones were sticking out everywhere and at one moment, a maggot burst out of one of the skeletons’ dead eyeball.
“ You said one body, Keir, why am I seeing two?” I asked him, still looking down at the skeletons of dead humans.
“ Theres two! Oh, hell, I think I’m going to be sick.” he said and rushed off to what I guessed was the men’s bathroom.
“ You’re here, finally.” I said and turned around to see both Kass and her sire standing next to each other, looked down at the body.
“ I know, I guessed right that witches weren’t made of spice and newt guts.” I tell them, nodding a little.
“ You’re one cruel bitch, Kira,” Kass said, a little disgusted, “ Can’t you see they’re dead? In Ami’s coffee shop?”
“ Yeah, I’m getting used to people calling me that.” I sighed, a little sad that they are.
Kass went to me and gave me a hard hug. I was a little surprised by his action, but it wasn’t that shocking since my best friend was missing and two dead bodies were meshed together in a meat freezer.
I was surprised, though, that sire was looking really deadly and Kass’s back. He looked as if it wouldn’t bother him if he murdered Kass then and there.
“ What was that for?” I asked him.
“ I thought you needed a hug. I know how close you and Ami were and how much it hurt that you couldn’t see her as much anymore.” He whispered softly.
I was stunned that Kass had seen all that over the months. I ended up giving him hint of a smile.
The sire about to say something but Keir interrupted us all by entering.
“ Kass? Kass!” Keir ran to kass and they gave each other a manly hug, Kass patting his friend’s back. Men, no show bigger emotion than that.
“ What are you doing here? Did Kari tell you about this?”
“ A little too late for my taste, but yes, she did.” Kass replied.
I hated when people did that, talk about me as fi I wasn’t there. I said nothing, still, because they were having a little bromance and I was amused by how they acted towards each other. I knew Kass and Keir were like girls when they were together but I guess, after so much time apart and not much time of group time, they were still best friends after all.
“ And who’s he?” my friend asked, nodding at the person behind me.
I looked back at sire, he still had a little irritation in his eyes but mostly he was still and calm looking, with all his aura of power.
I didn’t know you spent most of your human life surrounded by so much men, Kira. I don’t like it.
Jealous?

I raised my right brow slightly. Enough for him to understand I was teasing.
Very. From now on, you can’t be around men all the time other than me, you got that, Kira?
I was amused by his way of saying yes to my answer. I gave him a small smile and a small, respectable nod to go with it. It was enough to satisfy sire, for now.
“ Oh, he’s my s… ah….” Kass almost spilled the beans, luckily I was here to pick them up.
“ He’s our boss. When he heard of the news, he wanted to help as much as possible.” I said to him.
“ Yes, I promise you will get your girlfriend back.” Boss said in the most mature voice I had ever heard in a while.
“ Thank you. So, what can you tell of the body?”
I went back to the freezer and bent down to take a closer look at the body. It was very decomposed so it was hard for me to fins any special smell other then decay and maggot feces. Just as I was about to stand back up and shake my head at the guys, I saw something. I hesitated before I bent back down to take a closer look at one of the body’s hand. It was holding a piece of paper tight in its fist. I took my right hand out of my pocket and began to open the hand’s fingers.
“ Oh, really, Kira, must you really cruelly torture a body that has been already dead?” Sire said to me. I looked up at him, amused.
“ And we don’t do the same thing back at our forensics lab, boss?” I asked him, one eyebrow slightly raised.
“ You’re such a bitch today, Kira.” Kass muttered out.
“ And you’re not the douchiest bag of all douche bags, Kass? I mean, my friend was kidnapped and I have no right for my bitch coming out?” I asked him.
Kass stayed silent, not really knowing what to say. I looked to the other guys and saw that they were both avoiding my eyes.
“ Yeah, it’s what I thought.”
I turned back to the body and began to uncurl the dead, bony fingers. Once the hand was successfully open, I took the small sheet of paper. I turned back to face the boys and let them clearly see what I had in my hand.
“ Whats that?” Keir asked.
“ A recipe for how to torture a dead body.” I replied and swiftly un-crumple the paper. Once I had, I could clearly see that it was an address and under the address was what seemed to be a witch spell.
“ Skelto zhaowo aorta.” I said out loud.
Both the skeletons began to move—no, it was the witch’s body that began to shake uncontrollably.
“ What the hell did you do, Kira?” Keir asked.
I turned around at him immediately and smacked him hard enough on the head to make him go unconscious.
“ What the hell did you do that for?” Kass yelled at me, going to his friend.
“ He’s human. He would’ve fainted even if I didn’t hit him.” I muttered.
“ Holy shit.” I heard sire say and I turned around to see what had made him say it. I gasped when I did. The witch’s body was floating into the air, throwing down
