Alvin wanted to finish the job if he found him someday. Blood bonded humans were largely enslaved to their sire. They routinely ingested just enough vampire blood to stay under control. It had the fortunate effect of great health and extended life for the human involved. But they were not vampire. And he’d needed Shanks to have vampire strength. Alvin polished off a stack of pancakes as high as a small child. That was when he heard her heels tapping quickly against the stairs as she vampire-sped to him.“I found one. A lost one.”“What do you mean,” he asked with disinterest, assuming it was something asinine.“Sometimes, Alvie, when I sleep, I can roam into others minds. Each of us, the first bloods, have our own skills or abilities, I told you that. You’ve seen some of mine. Another ability is mind-walking. From a sleep state. I found a first blood vampire who is blocking herself from the other first bloods.”Now he was interested. “Why would she do that?”“Well, I don’t know the reason. But she’s off their grid. She’s alone. She’s perfect.”Alvin stared at her like she was mad, not for the first time. She punched him in the chest, lightly, but he still fell back off his chair.“For our war, silly. She’s perfect for our war! We kill her. Let the other first bloods know we’re serious. Motivated. Dangerous.” She giggled.Alvin rolled his eyes at her giggling. And loved her brilliance.A lost first blood. Fascinating. Since he’d learned of their existence, he’d felt a renewed thrill to complete his vampire holocaust. The parents of all vampires. His hand wandered down to stroke himself. The idea of destroying them had him so excited he almost came right there.Victory. Finally. “You are acting strange. You’re flushed and unfocused. If I didn’t know better, I’d think it was boy problems. That’s exactly how I feel today. I can’t stop thinking about Gerolf.”God, she did not want to talk about what distracted her today. Boy problems? Such a small term to describe the extremely heightened sexual state she had been in since she’d screwed Daniel to within an inch of both their lives last night. And it hadn’t been enough. She bounced the subject back to the cute waitress.“So. That good?”“Great. He’s so sexy. We haven’t done it yet. I want to, but my mom always told me to wait at least a month. I’m going to, but it’s really hard, you know?”No, I can’t imagine. Eillia realized her breathing was rapid again. She knew her face was flushed. Vampires had the same physiological responses to sexual stimulation humans did…times twenty. It had become compulsive with Daniel. She needed him. And it was very dangerous for her to stay in this hyper sexed state too long.
