about five weeks, but everything about her was so wacked, that no one was taking any chances with her or the baby. As it stood now, she drank blood from Aaron with fangs of her own, she could stay out in the sun all day, and she could also eat human food—boy, could she ever pack it away for such a tiny thing. Aaron wanted her to stay close to him at all times because who knew what could happen?
    It was just as well, Colin thought, that Aaron had sent him far away. Colin had been spending all his time hanging out at “that woman’s” apartment building for days now. Why? he kept asking himself, when he didn’t have the slightest idea. But he was afraid of becoming recognized, or worse yet, thought of as a stalker.
    Vampires tried to keep as low a profile as possible, and now days with camera phones and Facebook, it was getting harder and harder to do that. And with more and more of them going mainstream, it was getting hard for them to stay low key.
    Colin had a vampire friend, Mary Elliott, tell him that he should embrace the new world. Whatever the hell that meant. She’d had a Facebook page for months, she’d told him, and she even suggested that he get one as well.
    “ I love it. Look, I have four thousand friends. You should see the ridiculous things humans say about our kind. And you would not believe the things they still believe,” she had told him.
    “ Like what? Do they still think that garlic will harm us and wearing a cross will keep us from biting them?”
    He had tried to dissuade her from opening the account. But now that she had, he wanted to know what she learned. Besides, it was a way to pass the time with someone he didn’t have to be on guard with all the time.
    “ Oh no, they still believe that. Thankfully, movies and the telly have made that myth a near impossibility to disprove. But they actually believe that we can turn into bats and will spontaneously combust into flames when we are in the sun too long.”
    They did not combust, actually, but exploded. Their blood would heat to be so hot that it would boil them from the inside and then kill them. After that, it was a matter of seconds before they exploded, their bodies simply disintegrating.
    “ Have you posted your picture yet?” Colin asked her as he settled in for the day.
    Another myth was that they couldn’t have their pictures taken. Colin believed that story was actually made up by one of their kind, along with the crosses and garlic usage. While he did not eat human food, he did enjoy the smell of a nice marinara sauce with lots of fresh garlic. And the smell of it roasting was manna to him.
    “ Yeah. Would you like to see? I have gotten so many comments on it that I got a little note from the administrator of the page for me to take it down. Silly man. As if.”
    They both got a big kick out of her picture. It was so blurry that no one could make out any features except that it was a female body. She had set her timer on her camera and had blurred by the lens several times to get the effect that she wanted.
    Colin didn’t open an account as she had begged him to do, but he promised her if he ever did, he would friend her first. Colin wondered what Aaron would think if he sent him an invite to “friend” him and decided that it just wasn’t worth the argument that would result of him having one. Nope, better to keep a low profile.

~ CHAPTER FOUR~
    Shade went to the hospital to visit Brent and Becca the next morning. She ended up walking this time, simply not having the money for another taxi trip. The snow was deep, but not near as deep as it would be in a few more months, maybe less than that if the sky was any indication.
    It was time to see about getting a winter coat, she thought as she walked along the streets shivering. Shade wished like hell she was living in her little cubby hole again. She knew just where to sit to stay warm on days like today. And she had her blankets too. She had been able to replace a few of
