LICKING MY LIPS, I adjust my position as I remain squatted low between two trees, cast completely in the shadows. The two humans and two vampire hosts spill out onto the street. I can hear the heartbeats of the mortals like a drum beating inside my skull.
It’s not the humans I’m after, it’s their company. One in particular.
Desperation almost gets the better of me. I want to rush out there and hold a blade to his neck, demanding he tells me the information I so achingly seek. But I know he doesn’t know, otherwise we would not be here right now.
I shall watch.
I will wait.
The time is drawing nearer.
I will be ready for when it does.
