the deck. Next to him a woman who's hair was Auburn, who was pale, who looked exactly like my mother except had dark eyes. Jessica.

I blinked and swallowed hard the moment I violently killed Lestat playing over again in my mind. I sat down at the table slowly, while the girl next to me cleared her throat.

"It's lovely to meet all of you my names Amy and this is my friend Missy."

I blinked was that my name? No wonder everyone called me Miss Tull all the time.

"Missy this is Callisto and Jessica, they are buisness associates of your father."

Jessica stared at me her eyes boring into me I didn't know how much she knew, if she thought that his death was just an accident or knew I had killed him. I didn't know if she was aware that he died at all.

Jessica than smiled warmly, but they're seemed to be a dark tint to her usual warm demeanor. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Callisto smiled, "It's a pleasure meeting you again."

"Again?"

Callisto turned to Amy smiling, "We had met on the deck."

Amy looked at me and pouted dissaproving, as if I should've told her. The rest of the dinner was formalities. It lasted quite awhile though and Jessica's eyes were reguarding me the entire time. Finally after I finished dinner I looked to the others and smiled.

"The dinner was amazing and I couldn't have asked for better companions, but I'm afraid I may have had too much champagne and am going to retire back to my room. I hope you all continue to have a good afternoon without me."

The others wished me a good night and I returned back to my room relieved. I couldn't stay here long, if Jessica didn't already know I killed Lestat I wouldn't risk her figuring it out in my presence.

I started packing neccesities, only a few outfits, deoderant, toothbrush. Than I grabbed my backpack and suddenly some of the comics fell out.

I picked them up and put them all in the backpack one by one until I found one that fell open on a page that caught my attention.

It was a few vampires hissing and talking about Blade. Than one larger vampire slid out of the shadows and said that blade needed to be taken out. It was clear by the way the artist drew the vampire bigger and more menacing than the others that this guy was more powerful.

"You'll need more than just average strength to take out this daywalker, this dhampir, he's very skilled."

Dhampir, D-H-A-M-P-I-R what did that mean? I didn't know much about it until I read further, they were calling him a halfhuman and the word daywalker came up again.

Suddenly I heard a voice coo through the door, "Sky- Miss Tulle, come now no need to be so seclusive, we still have a great deal to discuss why don't you come out here?"

Jessica.

I looked around and grabbed my bag stuffing the comic inside, Than I looked out the small window running over and opening. I looked up toward the deck, it was far away but I might be able to manage jumping from here to the deck. I quickly and carefully sat myself on the window than making my nails grow into long daggers I pierced the steel ship and used it to pull myself up so that now I was standing on the small window sill. I than took my nails out of the ship and leapt upward onto the deck just as Jessica stuck her head out the window and caught sight of me.

I managed to land gracefully onto the deck, a little girl dropping her lollipop in shock having been the only witness to the seemingly impossible feat. I than ran towards the emergency row boats and climbed into one quickly and methodically lowering myself down into the ocean.

Than I looked up, there was Jessica coming down full speed, her face was calm but her eyes gave way to wild fury. Descending downwards like a crazed harpy I managed to roll out of the way dodging a lethal blow.

Than we were face to face her hair shrouding me from all else but the murderous intent in her eyes, and than I saw the tears, glistening there. Not yet falling but forming behind those murderous eyes. She went to attack me again and I was caught off guard by her impressive speed, she managed to hit me in the rib, nothing major a mere flesh wound but she had meticulously aimed for lethal organs. I was just lucky that I was quick enough for her not to hit her target.

"We let you into her home," she said thrashing wildly, I on the other hand was dodging her while trying to stay up on this little row boat. "We took care of you," she aimed for me again but now the tears were flowing more rapidly, she was getting careless and the little rowboat was shifting more underneath us.

It was only a matter of time until this clumsy dance ended and sure enough she stumbled and hit the floor of the rowboat. I didn't take any chances, I quickly was upon her and I fastened my mouth to that ripe swollen vain in her neck which easily burst allowing her life to flow into mine.

She struggled helplessly, and whispered, "The queen's onto you, you think you're clever... but she'll find you and when she does," She tried to laugh but it hardly made a sound. I cradled her neck than looked down at the tears streaking down her face, eyes half lidded her hair the color of blood. "You're a monster."

I smiled and drew out the last of her blood.

Than I grabbed the oars and continued rowing away until I no longer saw the ship. I left her body there lifeless sprawled against the floor of the little boat, I hardly know why. She looked so pretty lying there, her pale body pliant her long lashes forever carressing her cheeks. All lying in the mass of that dark red hair. Than finally when the sun had set and the stars were high in the sky I picked up Jessica's body and lowered it into the ocean,watching it sink until she was completley consumed, the recesses of the sea claiming her. Than I grabbed the oars, and continued my journey out into an expansive sea, with only a vendetta on my mind.

Kale

The pack was etching closer and closer into our territory, their scent was just a reminder of their obtrusive behavior. Finally, I'd had enough, so we walked onto their territory into their home. Their house was much bigger than ours, much more accomidating to a werewolf pack's needs.

The pack leader, allowed us in with a fake vampire-like sense of superiority. He was caught off guard by our entrance and deemed it as a great offense as most werewolves would. The room was full of tension, so thick you could cut it with a knife. Each werewolf looked at the other just waiting for that chain to finally snap.

Then it happened, one of the opposing werewolves lunged at Jason, the whole room snapped like a tightly wound cord, it was a flurry of fur, claws, and fangs. Than I looked to the alpha the rest of the room moving fast paced, except for him, he hadn't moved from his chair. He was a cocky prick, sitting there smiling. I hadn't bothered changing a wolf came at me, I swiftly dodged, he went again to attack. I grabbed him by his mouth, grabbing the top and bottom. His teeth pierced some of my fingers, but I held steady, than I snapped the wolfs jaw easily breaking it. The wolf yelped, it's bottom jaw hanging at an odd angle. This was more than just an act of aggression, this was a display that I was an alpha, I was powerful, and I was confident too.

The alpha suddenly became nervous, he turned and tried to escape. Other werewolves lunged at me, but I didn't take my eyes off the alpha, I didn't slow down my stride. The alpha lunged at me, I moved out of the way but I wasn't quick enough, he clipped my side. The blood was pouring but he didn't catch anything vital, just a flesh wound. He lunged again and I dodged this time without a scratch. I caught his hind leg and snapped it like a twig. Then I felt it, the rush, the power that surged through.

I couldn't remember how but suddenly the fight was over, the alpha's carcass laid out in front of me his organs pouring out blood. My hands were covered, and I could taste the blood in my mouth. The scariest part was that I had no idea, and that it felt so easy.

When I looked around I saw the opposing pack on their knees, and my pack was looking at me horrified.

"We mourn the death of our alpha, and celebrate the rise of our new leader."

I looked to the large black man, he was the alpha's second in command, at first it didn't register. Than I realized every pack needs an alpha and now I was theirs as well. The room waited expectantly for commands.

"I will take care of your alphas remains properly, you have all had a long day, heal yourselves,
rest, and then tomorrow we can try to make amends and get better acquainted." Then I saw the poor guy who's jaw I broke. "Meg, do you mind helping him? Don't worry she's a pretty good healer, anyone else with serious wounds can see her or Gerard, or if you'd rather you may seek assistance from one another your choice of course."

The other pack seemed suprised by their new alphas unexpected kindness, especially after the gruesome scene they had just beheld.

I leaned over the alpha and scooped up his remains and brought them outback a trail of blood following behind. I burried the body and pat the dirt over the shallow grave. Then I looked around the yard, found a small statue of a wolf and left it as a marker over the alphas grave. Kneeling in front of it I swore to protect his old pack to the best of my ability.

I walked by the bathroom and saw Meg tending to the man's jaw. Her eyes looked precise, her hands working gently, her hands were soft and suprisingly gentle. I remember discovering that the first time we'd had sex.

Meg looked up for a moment but than returned to her work. This was the only time where she was concentrated and focused. Meg wasn't bad, in fact she was capable of being nice. I'd treated her badly but she still followed me and she still would put her life above my own, maybe I was wrong... maybe Meg was right for me. She was here, she'd always be here, and maybe instead of dreaming of some girl I can't have I should focus on the one right in front of me.

Once Meg was done she sent the guy off than smiled at Kale, "What?"

I walked over to her, and grabbed her face than knelt down and kissed her. It was slow and lazy, it was slightly warm and comfortable. Meg wrapped her arms around me and kissed back, I felt her soft body press into my own.
