He held her eyes with his icy blue ones. She shivered slightly and drew her arms around her. The night suddenly gone cold and dark, she heard her teeth chattering but couldn't take her eyes from his. When he held out his arm to her she knew she shouldn't be reaching for it but could only scream in her mind as her hand was finally clasped in his.


His skin was pale, almost to the point of translucency. She knew if she had looked at the veins on his forearms she would have seen slight blue markings but his skin was so cold. No one with blood in their system could ever be that cold.


"You're one of them..." She trailed off nervously and whimpered when grinned ferally at her.


"Aye, and you're the witch who has been bringing my brethren down." His Blue eyes fairly snapped fire at her and she gasped, pulling at her arm now trying to pull out of his grasp. She was only a few feet from the doorway of her house.


She had been on her way home from the Library when she was first aware of her follower. She volunteered there after school on Mondays and Thursdays. At least when she was able to she did. School had been taking up more and more of her time. She had thought learning to stir a potion would be easy. She had no idea the different herbs there were in the world. She hadn't even been aware that Vampires existed until two weeks ago.


"I-I'm not a witch!" She ripped her arm out of her assailants hand and almost screamed as he scratched his nails in deep along her forearm.


"You're not a full-fledged witch yetm'dear. That's why they've sent me and not Luci or Gabe. If they had thought you more of a threat. You'd be gone. No one would ever find you. As it is...I'm allowed to make it as messy as I want it," He snarled at her and kept circlng around her. Her eyes were trapped and her cross was in her jewelry stand. Last time she'd ever take it off before bed. He lashed out her and she screamed.


I jolted out the reverie and blinked up at the man who was speaking to me.


"I'm sorry and you are?" He blinked at me unbelievingly.


"Sergeant Roderick De Ville, I'm here on erm...unofficial business," I sized him up quickly. 6'4" easily, dark skinned, brown eyes, brown hair, police uniform and if he hadn't been brown skinned I would have hazard a guess that he was blushing.


"Uncomfortable in my office sergeant?" I grinned up at him knowing what my office looked like. I was sitting in the middle of a yoga mat, my desk and chair pushed against the far wall and candles were lit all over the place. I stood up and stepped into my slip on canvas shoes. "I'm sorry I was working. Sort of," I grinned up at the man making him more uncomfortable by the minute and I was loving every second of it.


"I would like your help with a case Miss Everson," He stared me down, unblinkingly. It was a little more than nerve wracking it was downright creepy.


"Do you ever blink?" He blinked. "Thank-you, now what kind of help do you need Sergeant?" I smiled prettily at him when I saw the ladies out at the water cooler drooling over his backside. I walked over and shut the door. Bloody She-wolves in heat. They'll take whatever they can get and it was pretty close to the full moon.


"I need to find my sister. She's missing, has been for three days. She left a note...but it's not her writing and it makes me nervous," I studied him long and hard.


"Why not just file a missing person's report Sergeant?" He coughed lightly.


"I have. I've heard your office may get better results though," Aha, my reputation precedes me. I grinned congenially at the man.


"Do you happen to have a picture of your sister?" He nodded slowly and handed me a wallet sized photograph, most likely a school photo. I turned it over and my eyes widened. "Oh. Well this is unusual," He looked at me and leaned forward,


"You know her? You've seen her?! Can you tell me where she is?!" He fairly whimpered the last and I was afraid to tell him the truth.


"Did you know she was a learning witch?" He stared at me dumbfounded and he nodded slowly in the affirmative. "Hmmm, I've seen her but only in visions. I'll have to ask you to leave now. I'll call you when I find something substantial," I had to basically force the man out of my office. I was fuming, I was practically foaming at the mouth I was so ticked off.


"Dammit Aiden what have you gotten us into now?"
