Chapter 75: Vampires Suck

Adeline

Adeline groaned. Everywhere ached as if she'd played ping-pong between two cement trucks and she was the ball. The scent of metal reminded her to keep Jack from getting killed.

Spots danced before her eyes as she forced them open. Black shadows filtered across her vision. Why were there so many people around?

Ambulance sirens wailed as the wind whistled and tugged on her clothes and tossed trash around in the air. She heaved herself into a sitting position.

Her lungs ached with each inhale. Blood coated her shirt. Pain radiated inside her chest as if her heart was imploding. Hollow breaths spilled past her throat. She couldn't draw enough air in.

In the corner, Cassie screamed a siren song against her enemy's coils. Adeline swung around to find Jack and cursed as dizziness made the tarot shop sway. Numerous supernatural beings filled the room. One dressed in an Armani suit with flashing cufflinks sauntered toward her. Vampires.
