The problem was: I think Lucy does like Nicholas.

Nicholas pov

"Solange"

"You're m-mortal" I finally stammered." I read

"Why mortal? couldn't you just say human?" Lucy asked Solange. She just couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"I don't know" Solange answered. If I did start reading again this could go on for a while.

"I knew Lucy liked to think all vampires had this suave quality, but I so didn't, and not just because I wasn't technically a vampire yet. She was the one with the beaded velvet scarves, and I was the one with pottery clay dried on my pants."

I could see Lucy staring daggers at Solange who tried to pretend she didn't notice.

"Plus I was totally gaping at him.He was a hunter and he worked for an organization devoted to wiping us out. The sun tattoo was proof enough of that, underscored by his expression: righteous anger."

"Great"

"I don't get it," Lucy whispered to me. "Who is he?"

"Not one of us,"I whispered to me, my gaze never leaving his. 

I didn't know what I was reading there, but it was complicated, whatever it was. I'd heard of the cologne that some hunters wore: it mimicked vampire pheromones, to take a potential enemy off guard.

  "Skip some," Logan said.

I skim read through and got to the part I thought would be ok.

"Quinn eased back, letting his hand drop to his side."Some agency, attacking a fifteen-year-old girl" He spat. "Cowards."

Kieran took several deep ragged breaths. "We protect the innocent."

"This isn't a comic book, idiot," Lucy muttered crossly.

"If you're going to kill me too, get it over with"

"We don't drink from people like you," Nicholas sneered, making it as insulting as he could. Mum rolled her eyes.

"Do you drink from her?" Kieran nodded at Lucy. "Have you made her your slave?" I started laughing "Can anyone imagine Lucy being a slave, that would be funny."

"I would be an amazing slave." she fought. "Wait that didn't sound right" 

"You would be a bad slave. You would do everything you wanted against your orders." 

"No I wouldn't."

"Yes you would"

"Children!" Mom shouted at us. "Read Nicholas." 

"Who, Lucy?" Nicholas snickered."

"I would taste amazing" Why did I even like her. She said the weirdest things.

Everyone stared at her like she was crazy, which she was. 

"I would." She never backs down.

"Hey!" Lucy snapped. "Shut up."
