Samira gave him a defiant look. “I will tell him all that I saw and of the blood that I drank, but the truth will only be proven when she rises.”
Looking at my wrist, I wondered if that was the blood she was referring to me. What was going on?
“She will rise,” said Kristos, his voice ringing with authority.
Samira shrugged, her expression insolent. “Your eternity will be forfeit if she doesn’t.”
“Don’t threaten me.” He wrapped a hand around her throat. “I made you, I can unmake you.”
“You made me weak and ripe for the taking. Watch that my new master doesn’t take her too,” she said with a snarl.
In response, he lifted her by the throat until her feet dangled in the air. With long strides he walked back into the apartment and I tracked his movements from the camera in the hallway to the one that showed the living room. With a harsh yell, he threw Samira against the glass window. The glass shuddered but held.
He picked Samira up for round two, whipping her into the air by her hair and back against the glass. It cracked this time with an audible snapping sound. Another hit and it shattered and Samira flew out the window, arms and legs flailing.
Kristos stood at the edge of the broken window and watched her fall, a look of grim determination on his face. A group of men rushed into the apartment and my stomach clenched with fear. They fanned out through the apartment and I searched the console for some kind of alert button but couldn’t find one. I was just about to go drag my mom into the panic room and lock the door behind us when the men hailed Kristos.
“Are you okay, boss?” one of them asked.
“We came as soon as we got the alert,” said another.
The men all had their weapons drawn and scanned the room for threats.
Kristos rubbed the back of his neck. “The threat has been neutralized for now.” He gestured out the window. “Someone took Samira from me. She’s on her way to report to her new master. Have her followed, but be careful.”
“Yes, sir,” said the tallest of the group. His height seemed to correlate to some authority as he quickly gestured to two men who gave a curt nod before jumping out the window after Samira. I guess vampires don’t mind jumping off buildings.
My mother gave a groan and I rushed to her side just as Kristos walked into the bedroom. My mom’s eyes fluttered open and she sat up. “Where am I ?” She caught sight of me. “Myra.”
“Mom.” I sat on the edge of the bed and gave her a hug. “Are you okay?”
“Yes.” Her brow furrowed. “I was kidnapped.”
I rubbed her back. “I know. I think we’re okay now though.” I turned to Kristos. “It’s over, right?”
He gave a slow nod. “For the moment.”
I sighed in relief. “Thank God.”
Kristos offered me his hand and, when I took it, he pulled me into a hug. Putting his mouth to my ear, he whispered. “You’re not safe yet, love. If you want to live, you will have to die.”
I sank into his embrace as the truth of his words washed over me. Every choice I had involved death. I could die and lose my mom. I could turn into a vampire and protect her...maybe. Plus she still had cancer and wasn’t in the clear yet. Nothing was certain except someone would die. The idea terrified me.
“Will you help me, Kristos?” I asked in a soft voice.
“You drank of me and we are blood bound now. I will do everything I can.” He planted a chaste kiss on my cheek. “The apartment is not secure. We need to leave.”
So we gathered up my mom. I threw some clothes into a bag, and we ran into the night. Our safety was not guaranteed, and danger lurked in the shadows. The best I could hope for was some time to make peace with the future being forced upon me and come to terms with a past I had never known.
