Sasha Swift

Sasha

I shove my stake right through the vampire and he falls and turns to dust. Putting my stake in my waistband I dust off my hands. Theo walks up beside me. “Man, that was so fun. I’m knocking vampire fight off my bucket list for sure.” He is cheesing so hard I can’t help but smile also.

“You have a bucket list, Theo?”

“Sure do. All the fun things I want to do before I go home. Go bowling is on the list also.” He says and I put my hand on his shoulder.

“And I will do my best to help you complete your list. Maybe after all this is done we can finish the rest.” Theo abruptly hugs me and I’m a little taken aback by the contact but I hug him back.

“You’re the best Swift!” He shouts while I laugh and mess up his hair.

“Thank you, Theo. Now, where is Zane?” Theo frowns and I raise an eyebrow. Theo points across the field.

Zane is across the field and he isn’t alone. He is talking to another vampire, a beautiful brunette vampire. They look like they are arguing. I ball up my fists.

“Well let’s see if he needs any help, hmm.” I grab Theo’s hand and drag him with me. He keeps trying to assure me everything is fine but I doubt it.

We get closer and the woman spots me before Zane. She whispers something to him and then runs off using her vamp speed. Zane turns around smiling nervously.

“So I’m glad that’s over. Should we continue looking for the Queen?” Zane tries to walk past me but I put my hand on his chest to stop him.

“Oh no, you don’t! Who the hell was that Zane? And why isn’t she dead along with her friends?” I ask. I'm completely shocked by his behavior. Theo takes a few steps back and I poke Zane’s chest.

“She is a friend. She wasn’t with them. She just wanted to walk to me.” He talks so calmly like it isn’t a big deal. Well, it is.

“A friend? Do you have many friends who look like that? And they just want to talk? Yeah, I don’t believe it.” I say and Zane rolls his eyes. Her breasts were practically falling out of her red shirt how did he not notice?

“Believe it, love. You’re the only one for me, trust me.” He tries to touch me but I take a step back. He frowns dropping his hand.

“Then what did she want Zane? And how did she find you? She seemed to run away pretty fast when she saw us coming. Right, Theo?” Instead of answering Theo takes another step back looking at the ground.

“Keep me out of it, please.” He begs.

Zane runs his hand through his brown hair. “She came to tell me something. But it’s pretty unbelievable. I’m not even sure of it myself but it makes sense. Also, she gave me a warning.”

I tap my foot impatiently. Why can’t he just tell me what she said? “Well, what was it?”

Zane comes forward and grabs my shoulders. “It’s umm. Well... the vampire king. He knows I have been helping you. I’m sure he has already told the rest of the Royal council.” He mutters and I shake my head confused.

“That’s it? Why would the vampire King care if you’re helping me?”

“He just has a big deal about loyalty. That’s it.” He shrugs and I sigh in relief.

“Well like you told me you don’t follow rules, do you? Plus if you’re loyal to me then I’ll be loyal to you. But I’m still iffy on your girlfriend.” I tease and Zane laughs and then wraps me up in a hug.

“She isn’t my girlfriend love. You don’t have to worry about her.” He kisses my neck where he always bites me and pulls away. “Let’s go get a drink aye. I need one now.”

“Yes please!” Theo is now standing next to me rubbing his hands together excitedly.

We decide to go to a bar in the nearest town. The crowd is a mix of different people. College kids, wasted housewives, blue-collar workers, and a few bikers. We sit at the bar and Zane and I both order a bourbon. Theo orders rum.

“This is so much more fun than drinking at home.” Theo speaks while looking around in awe.

“You guys drink?” I ask confused. I'm still learning so much about elves and their culture.

Theo takes another drink of his rum. “Oh yeah, we love to party. We make our own rum and wine.” Zane and Theo keep talking about alcohol and I get up to use the ladies’ room.

The bathroom is on the other side of the bar. I go quickly but when I'm done and I step into the hall by the bathroom an arm stretches out stopping me. “Well hello, little lady.” I follow the arm to the face it belongs to.

Standing in the hallway is a six feet tall God. He has curly blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a dazzling smile. He is in jeans and a red plaid button-up shirt with cowboy boots.

“Umm hello.” Somehow it’s the only words I manage to get out. I can’t seem to stop staring into his eyes. It's like they're drawing me in. I can't even turn away if I wanted to.

“You’re beautiful. You here alone?”

I gulp. My mouth is suddenly dry I’m not even sure If I can answer. “...My friends.” I finally say and the mysterious blonde guy nods.

“Well go tell your friends you’re leaving with me. We’re going to have a fun time together me and you.” He cups my chin and it burns. He pulls away quickly and he looks afraid. “I’m going to go actually.” He turns around but stops, It’s Zane.

Zane stands leaning against the wall. His arms are folded and he looks pissed. Not sure if it’s at me or the blonde Greek God. “Yeah, good idea. Wouldn’t want you to try and sire anyone else.” He says harshly.

Theo pops up beside Zane. “A siren, so awesome. Definitely checking it off my bucket list.” Theo says excitedly. The guy turns back to me gritting his teeth together. I’m so confused. Why is he leaving?

The guy tries to walk away but Zane puts his hand on his chest. They’re the same size and I’m interested to see how this plays out. “Oye don’t leave yet mate. You can’t sire a man’s girlfriend and then just walk away. Maybe you need a lesson taught to you.” Zane swings and punches the guy right on the jaw. I’m stunned.

Both guys are swinging on each other. Next, more guys show up and Theo starts fighting them. Whatever had me frown in place has gone away. I decide enough is enough and join the fight. I walk right up to another blonde asshole and punch him in the nose. His nose bleeds and it’s gold?

*************

After getting kicked out of the bar for fighting we get a hotel room. Zane makes sure we get our own room. He explains to me what happened tonight at the bar. I still can't believe it.

“So sirens are real? And one tried to hypnotize me?” I ask confused. Zane puts his hand on my thigh.

“Yes, they are real. And one did hypnotize you. He was going to take you back to his cave and do awful things to you then kill you.” I stand up in disbelief.

“This is crazy. I thought I knew about all supernatural creatures. Next, you’re going to say gargoyles are real or dragons!” Zane doesn’t answer me. “What? This is crazy! My human brain can’t handle it.”

Zane stands up and rubs my arms. “I know it’s a lot to take in. I’m just happy I went looking for you when I did. If something happened to you I don’t know what I would do.” He says.

I give Zane a quick kiss on the lips. “Is my little vampire going soft on me?” I tease and Zane grabs my hips and rushes us over to the bed. Him on top of me between my legs.

“Actually your big vampire is very hard for you. Every time you wear one of your tight little jumpsuits I want to rip it off, you Sasha.” He licks his lips.

I start slowly undoing my zipper showing my black lacey bra. “Sadly these are expensive and custom-made for me. So no ripping. But I will take it off for you. Just you though.” I lean up and kiss him. The kiss gets deeper then he pulls away.

“Sasha I think you’re my beloved.”
