Chapter Five

Meeting

Krishna didn’t waste anytime on worrying how Lucas would recover as she was confident he would survive just fine without her. He had done it for six years with no real problems. But she still couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty for turning to her creature for assistance. Then again, she was still a bit irritated that he would have cornered her in such a way where she felt she had no choice.

When she left Phoenix Lucas was normal. Human. Or at least he seemed that way. But now, she wasn’t so sure. Maybe he never was and she was too ignorant to notice.

Taking her full tank to the max yet again, she decided to pull from the highway before the fumes were all she had left. Besides, her stomach was grumbling because she had missed breakfast. Though she said otherwise, she was a real breakfast buff. It was lunch she typically skipped, and sometimes dinner. But with the hour now just past lunch, her hunger was growing more and more painful.

The sign promised Italian and she smiled. She loved spaghetti and meatballs. It didn’t matter to her that she was underdressed. Its not like there was a sign stating a uniform code or anything. So what if a few people stared at her.

Okay, more than just a few … but she didn’t let it get to her. She was abnormally beautiful and that alone typically got everyone’s attention.

Taking seat at the first table she spotted she instantly picked up the menu and began scanning their desserts.

Amidst all the eyes, she couldn’t help but notice the waitress wasn’t too keen on coming over to her as she kept shooting glares over her shoulder. Peeking at her cell she noticed she had been sitting there waiting for ten minutes. Annoyed, she slammed the menu on the table and rose to her feet. Stalking over to the waitress who stood whispering to another girl behind the sales counter.

“Can I help you?” The waitress said with unnecessary attitude.

Krishna about just lost it but managed to keep it cool. Barely. “Yeah, you can start by walking your little ass around the counter and over to that table …” she said while turning and pointing towards her table, “and take my order. Then, when my food is ready you can come back to my table with it, place it in front of me, ask me if I need anything else, then leave me alone to eat. And when I am all done you can take my money and thank me for coming, even though you know you already lost your chance at the hefty tip I would have left you if you had done your job in the first place.” She spoke matter-of-factly and cool, even though she wanted nothing more than to scare the wits out of this chic for being such an arrogant moron.

The girls jaw dropped and her eyes fumed angry. The girl beside her gasped and before a single sound could escape either of their mouths, a pudgy man with salt and pepper hair walked over.

“Is there a problem here?” The man asked with just as much an annoyed tone as the girls face.

Krishna about had it and nearly blew her top, but remained calm and smiled. “Yes, I would like to order some food. I am hungry and your waitress here …” her words trailed off as she caught a whiff of something she suddenly wished she had noticed when she first entered.

Turning ever so slowly she kept her hands at her sides and her emotions in check; her creature ready to run at first moments allowance. It wasn’t often she happened into someone else’s territory unannounced. And it sure as hell wasn’t all that often that she made it a point to disrespect them upon entering. But this time she had a double negative marked against her and she knew it.

Behind her, approximately five feet away, stood a very tall, very angry, vampire who did not looked pleased at all. Gulping loudly she then turned to steal a glance at the manager and waitresses before speaking. “It looks like I made a mistake and I apologize for the confusion. I will be on my way.”
