soon,” Lachlan said in a way of reassurance.
    “Why do I feel like this?” I asked, breathless, like I was starting to cook.
    “It’s the Vampire side of you,” he said.
    “But you seem to be fine, so does Vex,” I pointed out.
    “We are used to it,” he replied.
    “I thought Vamps could handle the sun?”
    “We can, but ultimately the bat was a night creature. You won’t burn to ash, you just won’t feel like yourself until you get used to it,” Vex easily replied.
    “Why now?” I asked since I had been in the sun, plenty of times after Lachlan bit me.
    “Because you have had your first feed. It activated your vampire side to 100 percent,” Lachlan told me.
    “Oh Nikkee. So she will not feel like this?”” I asked more worried about her than myself.
    “She will because she was human, you were not,” he said.
    “Was I ever?” I asked, quickly adding, “Don’t answer that, I want to at least have some sort of fantasy that won’t be destroyed.”
    The car started to slow, as we got closer to the barn house. The place looked run down the closer we got. All the painted timber was pealing and flaking away. The windows at the front had boards nailed into it and the roof looked like it had more rust than a ship sitting at the bottom of the ocean.
    Jason’s car turned behind the barn and as we followed behind, we started going down as if driving into a garage that was underground. I looked behind me as the car dropped into the darkness and saw the opening close up.
    “That’s pretty cool,” I said, then added, “A barn house, huh. Well the place has charm, I will give it that.”
    “Wait till you see the rest of the place before you dismiss it,” Vex said.
    “I wasn’t dismissing it. I like it,” I said honestly.
    The car stopped and the place lit up as the lights came on.
    I opened the car door and hopped out. There were seven other cars in the garage already.
    I looked around in awe.
    “Who built this place?” I asked.
    Jason’s hand grabbed a hold of mine and held it tight. “We have all done some sort of thing to help, but it was mainly Vex and Garth.”
    With Jason’s warm hand in mine, I decided to not stay mad for the moment and just enjoy it even if it wasn’t going to last.
    “Come, let me give you guys a tour,” came Garth’s deep voice from the doorway on the far side.
    My hand tightened around Jason’s as butterflies started to swarm inside me.
    “I see you have decided to join our side. Found any humans that will let you bite them?” a familiar voice said.
    I looked over to Nikkee and saw Steven the bar guy. He had a huge smile on his face as he walked up to Nikkee.
    “Oh, you know, I got tired of being the only human in the bunch,” Nikkee replied matching his smile.
    “Human made you appealing, this…” he said, waving his hand up and down signifying all of her, “makes you breathtaking.”
    Jason’s hand clenched mine harder. I laughed a little, which got Steven’s attention.
    “Hey, how’s it going with all the saving the world stuff?” he asked me.
    “Yeah, great,” I replied pulling an unsure face.
    “Let’s go,” Jason said and pulled me slightly after him.
    “See you later,” I called out.
    “Oh, that you will,” he called back.
    For a moment, I thought I heard Jason grind his teeth. I decided to ignore it. If he could have his EX ride in his car, then I could have someone say hello to me.
    “Where is Chelsi?” I asked, thinking he would be with her.
    “She is waiting in the car,” Jason said.
    “Waiting for what, an open invitation,” I said with a laugh.
    “For us to leave.”
    I stopped where I was which made him also. The rest kept walking ahead of us, but Nikkee and Sky both looked back and gave me a small smile.
    “What do you mean, leave? We just got here,” I said. I felt small and weak that he would be leaving.
    He grabbed both of my hands in his, put them up to his lips, and kissed them.
    “I can’t stay,” he said in a
