Bloody Involvements

Chapter 2:

My arm shoots out across Alleeah, holding her back.




"What's wrong ma'am?" she asked concerned.




"Please, call me Sery. And you're going to have to trust me," I said, handing her the fruit I had carried.




"What are you going to do?" She questioned, fear tinging her tone a bit.




My voice drops to a whisper, "Someone is in your house, someone you've never met and whoever they are, they're here for me."




I looked into Alleeah's hazel eyes, she nodded slowly; not needing my stare for any persuasion and backed up allowing me to enter. I stepped forward, further into the well furnished house. At least for Alleeah, who had seemed so poor.




Glancing back, I tell her, "Stay there, I'll be back."




In a flash I vanished, racing through the bottom level of the house too fast for Alleeah even to notice it was me. Finding no one on the bottom, I went to the top. There, standing in the hall of the top level, was a shadowy figure. Smelling of blood and wood. The man turned toward me. I gasped in shock-the man- or boy- appeared no more than seventeen and he was covered in blood. His eyes were bright green, he was dressed in black, and his hair was black on one side and white on the other.




"Why are you here?" I asked, calm.




"For you, of course," He said, smooth as ice.




"Why do you want me?" I questioned, my senses wrapping around him.




He came from Cairo, and, as I pushed my sense of smell to its limit, he clearly wasn't human either.




"You should know why, Sery, you have something all of us want now," He said, watching me, a grin so wide spilling across his face, revealing fangs of his own.




"No...," I mumbled out, my greatest fear becoming real- my blood was now more precious than the biggest diamond available.




Suddenly, my shock wore off and I realized he had said my name, not an aliases of mine, but my real name.




"Who are you? How do you know me?" I growled through my clenched teeth.




"I'm Jaymie Rink and I've clearly done my research on you. Now come with me willingly or I will have to use force," Jaymie said, cracks of annoyance entering his tone mixed with over confidence.




I laughed, he had made a huge mistake by telling me his name and it was his name; he had been too cocky. I wouldn't forget it, even once he was disposed of. My lips curled back, revealing my fangs. Not only had he been too cocky, he had also pissed me off, no one-and I mean no one- tells me to do shit!




"I dont think so Jaymie, I don't... think so...," My body lurched, shifting to hyper mode, I jumped, cocked the heel of my foot and nailed him in the chest just before he could react.
