city and then looked at who would be big enough and dumb enough to try and take over. When Brittany walked down the stairs with Timothy she had that “girl we so need to talk face” and so did Tim. Arthur and I looked at each other and agreed it was time for another girls day slash boys day.
Brittany and I donned our jean shorts and tank tops and headed out to Margaritaville for some tequila and burgers. The conversation was generic and typical until our first sip of Off to see the Lizard, my favorite margarita. She finally broke down and told me about her night. Her and Tim had danced and enjoyed the meal then he had asked her to take a walk around the grounds. On their walk he started getting into the nitty gritty about her life in Los Angeles. He wanted a relationship with her. As I fought to keep my anger in check she laughed and said, “Kenna, calm down. I actually like it here a lot and Tim is a great guy. I’m not gonna move in with him or anything but how do you feel about me moving to Nola? We could be together again like high school… with Tequila Tuesday!”
How the hell was I supposed to explain to her she couldn’t fall for a vampire! She would get old and die and he would forever be a twenty five year old. Not to mention they could never have children and with the threat of whoever they were, this city was not safe for her, anyone else sure, but Brittany was the sister I never had and I would always protect her like family.
Finally I replied, “I think it would be awesome to have you here but if you do decide to come you have to move here for you, not for Tim. He has a lot of secrets Brittany and I don’t want to have to hide his body if he breaks your heart.” She punched me in the arm and said with a wink, “It’s ok, I know just the swamp. I will think about it.” That was the end of that conversation, Thank God! We spent the rest of the afternoon like any two normal girls in NOLA, shopping!
When it was finally time for Brittany to go back to LA Timothy drove her to the airport and Arthur and I went straight to the basement. I needed to talk to Tim but until I did , Arthur would have to do. He told me what I needed to hear: that Tim really was in love with her, still hadn’t bitten her and wanted to try a real relationship. Apparently, he was jealous of what Arthur and I had, but then again who wouldn’t be. He said he had no intentions of turning her and that he would approach Ihrin for permission to include her into our world if she decided to move here. After these revelations, I was in dire need for a workout. When Tim came back to our house I was much calmer. I reiterated the fact that I would still rip his throat out if he hurt her and that he better make Arthur look like an evil boyfriend if he really wanted to be with Brittany.
We continued our research on the different species for a couple hours before we had narrowed it down to three, then it was time to scout. We scouted the wraith hangouts first. They usually hung out near hospitals and the seedier parts of town and they were easy to track. Nothing new was going on there and we heard no whispers about anything being afoot with them.
Next were the Weres. We headed over to the old Blacksmith Shoppe which was actually a bar now. The Weres loved hanging out there. Thankfully we had a few friends in the Were community who we talked to while we were eavesdropping. They had also heard of a new group arriving in the city and assured us it wasn’t them. They liked things the way they were and didn’t want someone else creeping in on our home. With the wolves as our new allies we were onto the last group, the Sirens.
Sirens were evil. They preyed on everyone. They don’t care if you are good or evil and they are all about consumption. We need your blood to live but not all of it. Sirens took everything. Sucked your soul right out of your body. They were ferocious warriors and had the ability to turn anyone into their play toys. They
