reflection while at the store, why would she buy the mirror? Did she think it would magically appear once she got home?
    â€œMy best friend, Jade, has been looking for me. I don’t know how to explain any of this. Will you help me?”
    â€œHow much longer will she be in town?”
    â€œWe were supposed to be leaving in two days.I don’t know how she’s going to react.”
    â€œYou could always not say anything.”
    â€œShe will think I’ve been kidnapped or something. I don’t want her to worry.”
    I pulled back my dreads into a ponytail. “Well, then, you’re going to have to make a decision. Either you can be a missing person or you can tell her the truth. The risk of any of those things is huge, but it’s up to you.”
    She thought for a little bit before she said, “I noticed that I’m much stronger than I used to be. I lifted the whole bed this morning by accident. I was looking for my shoe.”
    â€œYou’ll start noticing a bunch of new things about yourself.”
    â€œCome here,” she said.
    I invaded her personal space and she pulled me against her. She started rubbing, creating warmth against my jeans, until she reached my crotch. She bit on her lower lip.
    â€œI might have to take your ass in this bedroom if you keep it up,” I said.
    She giggled. “Seems like you bring the freak out in me. I can’t help myself when I’m around. I feel this fiery passion all the time. It’s like I crave to feel you inside of me every second of the day.” She placed her breath on my neck before she kissed me. She began sucking on my neck. I felt her fangs graze me.
    â€œHey, be careful there. You’ve never bit anyone before and I don’t want you testing it out on me.”
    Her bright eyes turned sad suddenly. I never allowed myself to feel any remorse about things I had done in the past. For some reason, my conscience was getting to me.
    â€œI’m sorry for doing this to you,” I apologized.
    She shrugged slightly. “I wanted you to.”
    Her nonchalant attitude stirred mycuriosity. “I need to know more about you. People usually learn these things before getting married. Where are you from?”
    â€œChicago.”
    â€œChi-town. What brought you to Paris?”
    â€œAll my life I wanted to come to Paris. It was supposed to be the dream vacation.”
    â€œIs it not the dream vacation you hoped for? Seems to me you got what you came here for.”
    â€œI never actually believed in vampires until I came to the Red Light District. I’ve always heard about them. Once I got here, I had to see one in person.”
    â€œHow come you weren’t afraid of me?”
    â€œThe vampire’s story has always intrigued me... Were you born a vampire?”
    â€œNo, we weren’t born vampires. We were born with vampire blood. Our birth father was a vampire when he met our birth mother. She was…human.” My voice trailed off. I rarely talked about our birth parents because it was hard for me to remember anything about them. We were so young when they were murdered. “The mother and father that you know aren’t our real parents. They are our godparents, but they raised us because our parents were murdered. Being half-blooded only leads to death, so they transformed us.”
    â€œWhere were you born?”
    â€œMy siblings and I were born in New Orleans. It became too dangerous for us, so we found a safe haven, here, in Paris with other vampires.”
    She played with my fingers. Mushy wasn’t me, but for some reason I didn’t object to her affection. “You have smooth hands. I like a man with smooth hands.”
    I didn’t know anyone could make me feel the way she did.
    â€œYou should shower with me before I leave,” I suggested.
    â€œOoooh, that sounds good.”
    She followed me to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and brought her body
