killed him.”
    “Then come with me.”
    I took a few steps back. “Can’t. Death follows me wherever I go. Unless you’re looking to die, I’d suggest you stay away.”
    I turned to leave when he made it to my side. “I’m not taking no for an answer. I want you to come. You can help us.”
    “Do what? Kill vampires? No, thanks. I’ve done my fair share. I’m finished.”
    “Moretti.” His hand grasped to the arm of my hoodie as I began to walk away and I didn’t think as I lunged out, slamming him over and down. The strength and speed I held had my eyes going wide. Johnson’s mouth opened while he tried to get oxygen from the impact. I dove down, pulling him to stand as I tried to calm his panic.
    “I’m sorry. Breathe. Just …. fuck.”
    A deep inhale sounded, followed by another.
    “I’m sorry. See, you have to stay away from me.”
    Johnson’s hand shot up, even as he fought to breathe. “We need you, Moretti. Did you see yourself? You’re like one them, but you can come out in the light. We could use you. With that kind of speed and strength you can find your girl. We can save her.”
    The enthusiasm in his voice made me flex my jaw repeatedly. “No.”
    “Don’t you want to find her?”
    “I did find her! I found her and I made her turn into a vampire so we could be together. She wasn’t herself anymore. She was like them and she tried to warn me. She…” A frustrated, desperate sound left my lips. “I fucking had to kill her. She told me to. She said if she got too…” A sob was next, breaking through my numbness as I walked backward. “She’s dead, just like everyone who gets close. Stay away, before you’re next.”
    I gave him my back, walking toward the restaurant at a fast pace. I heard his footsteps before I knew I should have. My fists tightened and I pushed from my feet into a fast run. But it wasn’t just fast, it was humanly impossible. It was as though my feet were barely touching the ground as I blurred past everyone. My pulse spiked and my mind raced. I might actually stand a chance against those bastards. Like … really stand a chance in a fight without a weapon.
    I slowed, already blocks away. I took the long way around at a normal pace, not even winded as I came to a stop outside the double doors. My appetite wasn’t there, but I went forward, ordering a hamburger. As I sat in the corner and ate, I took in everything. People stayed a good distance away, displaying what I used to feel when confronted with one of those creatures. They didn’t even seem to recognize they were doing it. Aside from a few giving me weird looks, they went on their way. A smile pulled at my lips and I couldn’t deny that I wanted to test out my skills.
    Darkness was coming quickly. While I stared out of the window, I plotted what I should do. Where I should go. There was only place I knew vampires would be for sure and I had every intention of heading there. No weapons. No stakes. Just me. If I was meant to live for some reason I couldn’t understand, then it was God’s will. But if I died … I’d go out with one hell of a fight.

 
    Chapter 5
    Marko
     
    The large number of vampires before me looked on in eagerness as I walked the length of the large room. They kneeled, awaiting my instruction. I could feel their excitement. We all craved the hunt and I had no doubts the rumor of Hunter’s escape had made its way around the city.
    “As most of you are aware, my concubine was murdered on the day we were meant to take vows. She was murdered by a human named Hunter Moretti. The soldier not only has to pay for his crimes against Princess Tessalyn, but also for his escape from our world. He was prohibited to go back to the top and he disobeyed. Until he’s located, you will give search. If he is found, you are forbidden to kill him. That’s my job. Now who here isn’t aware of who Hunter is?”
    I was prepared to show them, but no one raised their hand. Everyone knew who the bastard
