Human Blood Lust

Chapter 1

“Yea, yea, I hear you Marcel. Keep the Quarter under control, protect the Vampires, baby sit Davina. I understand.” Kalene huffed as she entered the fortress like building and passed a group of feeding Vampires. Nodding to the group she made her way to the kitchen.

“You know if I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were trying to feed me to your blood sucking mosquitos.” Kalene said sarcastically.

“But you do know better. Plus you have Josh there to protect you.” Marcel said with a hint of taunting in his voice.

“Ha, ha. Very funny Marcel.” Kalene sassed as she opened the fridge to find her Monster.

“Just stay out of trouble alright? I’ll be back once I know the Treme witches are on our side.” Marcel said hanging up the phone. Kalene sighed as she pocketed her phone and turned to find Davina giving her a nasty glare. Kalene held the monster out in her direction as she pointed to her.

“Don’t even start Davina. Today is not the day.” Kalene warned taking a sip of her drink. Davina crossed her arms and cocked her hip.

“Well I don’t need a babysitter Kalene, so back off.” Davina retorted. Kalene moved around the island to lean on the counter in front of her.

“I didn’t say you did now did I? No, that would be your fatherly vampire, Marcel.” Kalene said in a careless manner. Davina poked a finger at her chest.

“Just because your Marcels pet, doesn’t mean you have any power over me.” Davina said with an undercurrent of venom before she turned on her heel and stormed off.

“You get an earful Josh?” Kalene said not even bothering to turn around as Josh slinked around the corner of the kitchen.

“Sorry Kalene.” Josh said sheepishly as he came stand in front of her. Kalene just quirked a brow at him as he smiled at her sheepishly.

“So what’s up? You don’t usually sulk around me like this unless something’s wrong.” Kalene asked setting her drink down as she crossed her arms. Josh pushed his hands in his pockets as he sighed.

“It’s the werewolves. I tried talking to them myself but you know how Hayley and Jackson are. They won’t even give me the time of day.” Josh explained. Kalene rolled her eyes at the mention of the rambunktious werewolves.

“Fine. Tell them to give me ten minutes and I’ll be out there to see what they want.” Kalene said grabbing her drink and heading for her room upstairs. Looking around the immaculate room she let out a wistful sigh as she thought about her life and everything's that become of it. Six years she’s been with Marcel. Before she used to be a reckless sixteen year old who didn’t take no for answer, until she attacked the wrong person, well vampire to be exact. Now, she works for a group of hostile blood suckers. Walking to her closet she grabbed her wolf's bane infused jacket and headed outside to meet with Jackson and Hayley.

“Marcel said he would meet with us today to work out a deal, so where is he?” Jackson questioned Kalene with authority in his tone. Kalene quirked a brow at him as she crossed her arms.

“Jackson, if I may, you need to remember I’m not one of your wolves so you’d do well to not talk to me like one.” kalene said with advisory in her tone. Getting her meaning Jackson backed down.

“Just go fetch Marcel Kalene. I’m in no mood for your games.” Hayley growled out. A slow laugh bubbled up through Karlene until she was doubled over. Catching her breath she straightened and smiled sarcastically at hayley.

“I’m sorry but did, did you just tell me to go fetch? I’m sorry but I think you have the two of us confused my precious Hayley.” kalene said mockingly as she clapped her hands together.
