   "You both consider me harsh. Brute. Uncaring to anyone other than myself." Blair went on speaking to us as if we cared to listen. She held a gun full of special bullets Mason took the time to boast about. Elena and I sat across from her in the limo as we drove into a nearby town.

   I nibbled on my bottom lip fantasizing about the blood I'd already devoured. I gritted my teeth, fighting the pull of blood that nearly snagged me. It was a hunger I never thought could overtake me, like it was my new master.

   Blair continued. "I do what is necessary to keep our race on top. Elena understands." Covering her mouth from Elena, Blair whispered to me, "she's been alive for over five hundred years."

   I wanted to wipe that smirk off of Blair's face. I made no reaction to her comment on Elena's age.

   "And she was a lot tougher than she is now." Blair shook her head in disappointment. "The daughter I once had would have been out of this situation days ago." Blair turned back to me. "This isn't our first rodeo."

   Elena stared straight ahead unfocused on everyone. The thought crossed my mind many times on Elena's age but tonight was not one of those times.

   Blair's cheerful clapping of her hands, the gun rattling slightly, tore my eyes into the direction Blair was looking at. She pointed out, through the tinted windows. "Humans. So many to choose from."

   I wasn't going to hurt anyone. I pulled my focus away from the window. In the back of my mind I thought of taking a second peak. There was no harm in looking.

'For a vampire, or hybrid in your case, there is always harm in simply observing a potential meal.' Elena spoke to me through our connection and my face skewed in frustration knowing she was right.

   Blair pouted gaining back our attention. "You may think me evil, finding many of those humans appetizing, but make know mistake...You desire them just as much as me. I only choose to relish in it. That is what we are meant to do. That is why they taste so good. Just as humans are to the meals they eat."

   "I don't want to hurt--"

   "Incorrect." Blair held her composure crossing one leg over the other as she interrupted me. Her hand that held the gun rested on top her knee. "I don't seek pleasure in harming them. I don't torture or cause them any pain. Most humans I've killed never felt a thing. They quite enjoyed their deaths. Accept when deserving." Blair looked out the window again. "Not to mention human blood is the purest blood to drink. Right from the vein and our strength, speed, all things that makes us vampires, enhances." Blair slid forward several inches from my face, the cabin pointed at me. "What you did as a rogue, was far more brutal than I could ever commit."

   "You may try and justify your actions but you have brought misery to all you've touched before and after their deaths." Elena shook her head, "you cause me sadness every time I know you've killed, because those deaths are on my hands too."

   Blair ignored Elena, conversating only to me. "What she means is she had the opportunity once to kill me and she did not." Blair's attitude toward Elena was evident.

   How could a mother hate her own daughter so much? I could never hate my girls. Thinking of Kaylee and Laurie now, my heart pumped faster concerned for their safety and how they were handling this mentally.

   "Oh, there we go." Blair pointed out rolling the window down. "Stop the limo."

   Whoever was driving parked, Blair stepping outside. The cold air welcomed us as it blew through my tangled hair. We were near an alleyway. A man was smacking a woman around. By the way she was dressed that gave us a big guess to what situation they were in.
