question had popped into Katie’s mind multiple times in the past. According to Kyle, rumors he’d heard suggested the missing vamps were gone for good.
    “Who knows?” Katie shrugged. “The fact is, was, they left and someone had to fill their vacant spots.” The alcohol started to impair her thinking and speech process. At least she wasn’t slurring her words, yet.
    “New vamps stepped in.”
    “Yeah, new ones filled the vacancies. Over time, it became clear their status went to their heads. Kyle said their attitudes changed. Older members, original ones, vanished one at a time. Within two centuries, the Order had an entirely new quorum. They didn’t come out and state what their goals were, but it was clear to every vampire this new Order of the Legacy was the direct opposite of the old one.”
    “God, I can’t imagine. It sounds worse than the politics in Washington.”
    Katie twitched her lips. Blood sucking vampires wanting to feed off humans at their own will was far worse than standard U.S. politics.
    “Did Kyle try to talk to them?” Jules asked.
    “Several times. Many others did too. Then when vampires who disagreed with the Order’s new policies started to disappear, they silenced their voices and hoped time would change things. Like many vampires, Kyle left. He later heard rumors someone created a list of those who’d argued against the Order and were a threat to accomplishing their goals.”
    “Which were?”
    “Based on changes the Order made, Kyle and others believed they wanted to rule the human race.”
    Jules stiffened. “That’s fucking scary.”
    “Yeah, so anyway…” Katie paused while she attempted to recall where she’d left off. The damn liquor jumbled her train of thought.
    “What about this list? Is it real?”
    “Yes, he confirmed it with a good friend. The Order paid handsomely to anyone who proved the extinction of people on the list. Many vampires went into hiding.”
    “It sounds like a ‘most wanted’ list.”
    “In a way, it was. Kyle and many like him couldn’t fight back since too many vampires wanted to follow the new Order. And he heard they not only paid with money, but with human lives.”
    “What?”
    “Slaves,” Katie said, nodding. “They’d kidnap people and keep them locked up until the vamp was ready to feast.” Her stomach churned at the thought. Kyle had told her they were slaves for the slaughter. She’d never forget his words.
    “That’s sick,” Jules said with a curl of her lip.
    “Very.”
    “So the Order is behind Kyle’s death, or his–”
    “Without a doubt, they wanted him gone,” Katie said, knowing Jules couldn’t get the right word out. “What I don’t know is who did it.”
    “It has to be a vampire.”
    “Of course. No human could’ve brought Kyle down.” Except for her and it took years of training. They’d fought for hours in the barn one night. She’d taken a small dose of his blood to give her strength and quickness to match his. She had cuts everywhere from their battle with daggers, but it didn’t stop her in the least. She punched, thrust, swiped, kicked and amongst the flurry of motions, she spun and had his head in her grasp with a knife to his throat. It could’ve been a fluke, but it was a memory etched in her brain. She’d actually beaten him, a five-century-old vampire.
    “Then how can you find this vampire? What will you do if you do?” Jules asked. “You’re as human as the rest of us. You can’t possibly think you can chop off its head or burn it.”
    She poured more vodka into their glasses.
    Katie’s stomach twisted. The alcohol in her empty system started to disagree with her. She rubbed her hand over her belly, trying to calm the unease.
    “There’s someone who might be able to help me. I’m going to try to contact him. I figure I have a few days before the vampire who destroyed Kyle decides to leave.”
    Jules pushed the drink toward Katie. “You don’t think he’s already
