swirling smoke tendrils and laser light beams. There
was something about him that put her on edge. She thought it was
her cue to go talk to him because he might be the person she needed
to question about her family, but first she wanted to warn Jaxon
about his interest in the both of them.
She walked briskly across the dance floor, closer to
the bar where Jax had just purchased her drinks. As she approached
Jaxon she took note of the two drinks Jax was holding. “When you
said you wanted a drink you really meant it, didn't you?”
Jax laughed, “Yeah, well, I tried the first one
and it was really weak. I figured I would grab another to keep from
having to line up again at the meat market they call a bar.” She
gestured over to the same creepy vamp that had just hit on Caislyn
a few minutes ago. “That particular jerk flashed some fangs at me
and told me what he’d like to do to me in the back room.”
“Yea, he hit on me a few minutes ago, too.“ Caislyn
told Jaxon what she had said to the vamp and Jax nearly spilled her
drinks for laughing so hard. Caislyn spun Jax around so she could
see the all too sexy vamp that was way too interested in them and
who was still standing near the stage watching. “Some vamp guy has
been alternating between checking us out,” she nodded toward the
vamp in question.
“Oh, that's Seth. He's no vamp, he's just my boss'
boss. He's the one who gave me the ticket.” Jax rolled her eyes and
turned her back towards him, continuing to dance with her two
drinks. “He may be cute, but he‘s an arrogant son of a bitch.”
“Oh, okay, well the way he kept looking over, all
psycho-stalker like, he was creeping me out, so I thought I would
check.”
Jax laughed at Caislyn’s all too appropriate
description, "I wish I had an observant friend like you when when I
lived in Raleigh. I might not have had such a crappy time!" She
held up one of her drinks as an offering to Caislyn and asked,
“Hey, you want a drink?”
Caislyn giggled at Jax, but declined. She looked
around, feeling as though they were still being watched. She no
longer saw the vamp that had given Jax her ticket, but that prickly
sensation on the back of her neck had gone into overdrive. She then
noticed others who had began circling the dance floor. They
reminded her of sharks circling their prey.
“Umm, Jax,” Caislyn started to say.
“I don't feel good about being here anymore.” Jax
held up her drink and continued, “What's in these things?”
“I don't think it's the drinks. Look.”
“Look at what?” Jax took a look around the dance
floor and noticed the sharks circling too. Panic nearly set in,
until she remembered she had a blade or two hidden on her. Then she
simply looked back at Caislyn.
Caislyn noticed Seth coming through the crowd towards
them and saw him mouth something to her, but she couldn’t hear
it.
“Run?” Jaxon questioned, “who said to run?” Jax asked
Caislyn.
“Oh shit! Let's go. Come on, I saw some back stairs
over by the bar.” Caislyn and Jax made their way through the dance
floor over to the back stairwell. As they ran into the stairwell,
they noticed a commotion coming up the stairs from the lower
floors. The girls ran up the stairs toward the roof access. Once on
the roof, Caislyn felt like she has seen this image before. She
realized too late that this was the scene from the sketches she had
been making over the past couple of months. “Shit, I should have
known better than to go up!”
“Yeah, cause unless you can fly, we're trapped. So
now what?” Jaxon thought about the knives she had hidden and
realized they wouldn’t really help with the vampires that had
chased them up to the roof. All they would do was piss a vamp
off.
The two of them backed themselves up to the ledge of
the building looking to see if there was a safe place to jump
down, a fire escape, something.
Jaxon looked down the building, noted there wasn‘t an
escape route then she looked back at
