Her bruises had faded and her appetite returned. The momentary burst of dominance faded with it, leaving her to groan when she saw Stephanie talking among a group of her friends on the sidewalk that led to the parking lot. “Just ignore her,” Beth whispered. “Ignoring her isn’t the problem,” Crystal muttered back. “It’s getting her to ignore me.” Beth opened her mouth when Stephanie glanced over her shoulder towards them. She jerked her head back and laughed at something someone said and then stepped away from the group. She turned—away from Beth and Crystal—and started walking towards the parking lot ahead of them. “That’s weird,” Beth muttered. Crystal felt the hair on her neck stand up. It was weird, but she knew it had to do with her. How was Stephanie going to screw with her this time? “Hey Beth, have you heard of any bikers coming through town lately?” Beth missed a step and had to stumble to catch herself. “Bikers? Like, on motorcycles?” Crystal laughed at the image of her dark and handsome savior dressed in spandex and riding a ten-speed.
