looked down.
    “No, I am not hungry at all. I am not going to be,” She
said.
    “What?” Esther asked.
    “I am not going to want anything, or be able to eat anything
for the rest of my life.”
    Esther felt stunned by this, recalling the insane blood lust
she had experienced when she had been turned.
    “Well, stop shifting around then, you are stressing me out,”
She said coldly, hiding the concern she was feeling inside.
    She moved back to her seat and sat back, her arms crossed as
she closed her eyes, sleeping a little before they landed.

    The plane touched down and she got up, ignoring Katie as she
rose from her seat.
    As they stepped off of the plane into the dark but hot,
thick climate that was Manaus, Brazil, Esther stretched gratefully. Their flight
had been 11 hours long, and she was thankful to finally be free. She glanced
back as Katie stepped weakly down the stairs. She had been avoiding Katie since
they had left Salem, afraid of the hurricane of feelings swirling around inside
of her.
    She watched as Derek came behind her, carrying their luggage
with ease. He gracefully swept down the steps and then loaded their bags into
the black sedan that was waiting for them. Esther tried to appreciate the few
moments they would have before once again being cramped inside of a car for
hours.
    Katie looked at her cautiously, as if asking permission to
approach her, and she once again nodded, her anger boiling at the unfamiliar
feelings sparked within her.
    “Thank you,” Katie said quietly as she leaned against the
car next to Esther.
    Esther looked at her questioningly.
    “For what?” She asked bitterly, still angry at the confusing
feelings.
    “For trying to help me,” She said.
    Esther looked down, suddenly feeling even more than she had
before. She kicked the dirt on the ground and turned away, trying to hide the
emotion in her eyes.
    “Yeah, whatever,” She said rudely, before moving away.
    She grabbed the car door and resisted the urge to rip it off
as she opened it. She slipped into the back seat with Vampire speed and slammed
the door behind her. She felt the door bend, and realized she had dented it.
She opened it once again, slamming it back into place angrily, before closing
it once more.
    She fumed for a few minutes, before she began to feel
concerned for Katie again. As much as she didn’t want to feel these feelings,
she couldn’t seem to help it. After all of these years, and all of her
acquaintances, lovers, and progenies, she had never felt so strongly for one
before.
    In fact, she had only felt this way once before, and it was
back when she was a mortal. She recalled the man whom she had planned to marry,
and that was when it hit her. She was feeling the same feeling for Katie. She
shook her head, ridding herself of the atrocious thoughts, and gritted her
teeth, angry once again.
    She wondered if the people in the Korubo tribe would be able
to help them.
    The door across from her then opened, and Katie sat down
beside her. She then saw the driver’s side door open, and Derek got behind the
wheel. He glanced back at her through the rear view mirror, before starting up
the engine.
    Katie stayed quiet beside her, and Esther leaned her head
against the window and closed her eyes, recalling once again all they knew
about the Korubo tribe.
    The tribe had been discovered in the nineties and was still
protected and preserved. Apparently, when they were discovered, it had been
discovered that the tribe was home to an unknown Seer bloodline. Several
members of the supernatural world had been working to keep them a secret.
    They didn’t know much, and as they traveled into the depths
of the Amazon, Esther felt herself beginning to fill with worry.
    They finally reached their destination, and exited the car.
Derek looked at her expectantly, gesturing towards Katie. Esther nodded, and
then scooped up Katie, gently tossing her onto her back. Katie looked surprised,
but then relaxed into Esther as
