Chapter 22

The perk of being a celebrity is that there are paparazzis around. Well, if you need fresh supply of blood in the vicinity that is. She wipes the streak of blood from the side of her lips.  Thank you black leather jacket for never getting stained, she smiled.

She takes a look at the unconscious photographer on the base of a tree. His neck is healing and the color is coming back from his skin.

Her phone rings, surprised to still have service.

“Hey lib”

“It’s not Henry. I know he’s not lying. Maker-firstmade thing” relief flooding Ella. She exhaled.

“It couldn’t be Alexia, right?” she shifted her weight as she stood on a large tree root. “Couldn’t be. A witch would’ve been crazy or dead on the second sniff”. The man started on the ground started to wake. “Umm. . . so where’d it come from” Ella jumped from the root towards the paparazzi. “Must be from one of my. . .um. . .friends” Ella knows what she meant by that.

“tsk tsk! Keep your men in line Olivia” she can imagine her rolling her eyes

“pffft! Still think its you” she hangs up.

There was fear as the man shot his eyes to her, panicky trying to figure out where he was. “Now now, don’t be scared” she stares at him with black eyes, “You got lost in the woods and you fell” he nods eyes transfixed. “Leave” and he scurries away. She could’ve just finished him off but she just nneded a little to get the emotions off.

Since she’s in a good mood; let’s call some club people.

She found Megan thirty minutes after. “Hey! Nick’s on a scene now”

“Oh I was looking for you” Megan looked up confused, “Party is on later”. Megan looked extremely surprised. “I’ll tell the crew, how many people?”

“Invite everyone”

Nicholas got on the car and jammed the keys to the ignition, “So you’re saying that Libby is unconscious on a bathroom floor in a club somewhere?” Ella kept nodding, “Yup” popped the P while on the phone.

“How?” he can’t get how a vampire can get unconscious on a bathroom floor. Surely they have a higher alcohol tolerance than ordinary humans, right? Nicholas drove out of the parking lot. “Ah! Of course. Pumped, you know where that is?” he could hear the worry in her voice. He acidly replied, “Brilliant! She’s unconscious at the most popular club in the city. How—”

“Nicholas! Libby is knocked cold somewhere, she might be dead. Vampire hunters or something and you. . .” her voice breaking. Nicholas sighed, “I’m sorry love but she’s a vampire how—“

“Vampire hunters, Nicholas. So please, step on it”

They arrived at the club and he noticed how there wasn’t a line in front and no photographers. A private party perhaps? “Wait here while I get her” she slams the passenger door, gets in and hypnotizes the bouncer. Five minutes in and she hasn’t come back. A feeling of dread rushed over him. What if Vampire hunters got her? Throwing caution to the wind, he gets out of the car. He stops to talk to the bouncer holding a list but he simply stepped aside, “Mr.Grimms”

He steps inside the bar with deafening music. Hundreds of people dancing and drinking like its no tomorrow. Hold on, is that Bob the gaffer? Somebody grabbed his hand, that somebody with blonde hair and clearly not unconscious. “Libby! What on hell is. . .”
