Lilith

Chapter 2: Hunting The Hunter

"Okay. Dismissed" I have an affirmative nod. He pursed his lips and nodded as well.

Now I was left alone in my room, hungry, bored and full of energy.

"Hmm. What to do, what to do" I flopped on my back on to the bed and stared at my extremely entertaining ceiling.

I flexed my arm and looked down at my arms. Guns my inner voice corrected. I chuckled to myself. Oh how I enjoy that mini me inside my head at times. Other times, excuse my French, she's a bitch; doubting me, listing all my insecurities, insulting me and what not.

Then I pointed my toes a few times, tossed and turned as my feet hung off sideways on my bed. I sighed a few more times and flicked my bed frame for absolutely no apparent reason. It hurt my white polished manicured nail more than I expected as it connected with the pretty white wood, I shook out my hand aggravated with myself yet again. Oh the limits pure boredom could drive you to.

I wanted to do something, impatient and growing bored with a lack of entertainment I stood up and wondered if I should grab a jacket or not. I stared at my closet for a few seconds before I made up my mind that a little wind would not matter that much. I then turned on my heel and headed out the door. I started to walk down the hallway, it was decent sized, about fifty feet long. Along the way I tied my full brown hair back into a messy ponytail with a black elastic I had around my wrist.

I swear I have bought so many of them, thousands maybe, and I only have 4 currently, placed in strategic positions around my room that may or may not still be there. I let out a puff of air with a smile thinking about how truly weird that is. But then, probably every girl, vamp or not, (goddess forbid I get hair in my face) experiences this.

By the time I reached the door the sun had lowered a good amount. Jace was coming in, a bit tired from running all the way back to deposit the body and from the amount of sunlight spilling in from the recent door it was a pretty educated guess. It was probably late afternoon now.

We can go out into daylight, though, we still had limited time before the power drained from the object that allowed us to.

Me, I had a bracelet.

An Alex and Ani bracelet with an anchor charm that I had chosen when I was young and had ever since. It could have been anything really, the twins had rings. But still, we only had given time in the sun before we had to give the dark magic a break, also because the sun was not as strong I had about a solid hour and that was plenty for me for outside time before the sun actually did set and there would be no restrictions.

He stood in the doorway and steps to the side, holding the door open for me. "Thank you" I said with a curt nod, grabbing my hands behind my back, I started to make my way out.

I was hurrying out I got a quick tap on the bum from him. I squeaked in surprised and it only made me bolt out of his reach. As I was doing so I heard his light chuckle and my face only slightly heated up.

I walked out of the cemetery following the paved paths hoping to get rid of the lifeless smell that I recently realized how much I hated. The wind was nippy, it was warm but the wind gave me chills. Yes, it was tempting to spare a few minutes to dig up an easy meal but I had my morals, unlike others because to them 'food is food.' I could smell the fresh overturned soil, from a fresh burial. The scent of decay picked up by my specialized senses started to set my brain on overdrive.

I walked deep into the woods just looking and watching anything in particular.

I saw a small white fluffy tail bob throughout the bushes. My stomach instantly fluttered in anticipation, rabbit was my absolute favorite. I froze for about five minutes before it took a hop closer to me out of curiosity, even though it was a good ten feet away.
