fingers ran across my skin, examining me like a doctor would. I heard loud scraping and slashing noises for the whole duration of his examination. Alik seemed to be ignoring everything around us as sparks flashed over his head. His eyes flashed left and right and his lips moved as he mumbled, trying to convince himself into doing something. The noise and flashes came to a sudden stop. "Is that it?" I heard Jessica ask; then there was one last slash and two thuds.
“Alik, sweetie, why do you always do that to my little toys?” Alisa asked, her arms wrapped around Alik's neck and her fingers playfully tracing his jaw line.
“Alisa, you will join them if you don’t get out of New York in the next 48 hours. You’re elder to me so I'm hesitant to ask June to kill you, however if Vanessa dies I will kill you myself.” I gave a cringe and I think he thought he hurt me, but it was the cold in his voice that made me move.
"If you don’t like the past, do not bring it back then. I remember the first Masteria, it was a lot of fun, much like yours. It was just missing one thing."
"They are human, and humans have a place in Masteria." He was now justifying his creation.
"So do vampire, or in this case, wannabe vampire. It’s all in fun and the veil is still intact. The humans all think this is some crazed trend and the deaths caused by some clever gang. If you don’t want to bring back all the ways, don’t bring back any at all."
“June, if Alisa isn’t gone in the next minute feel free to kill her."
“Okay, okay, you win. I will stop playing with the humans. It’s up to them to stop using those delightful Nightcap things. I never thought they would take it so far," said the young girl and when Alik gave no response, she stuck her tongue out.
"You’re no fun," she said, pouting.
"I guess I will be seeing you later then," she said to Alik; I hadn’t seen her get close to me, but her cold fingers were tracing my chin. “Get well soon, sweetie,” she said sarcastically and then was gone.
“June, please get rid of those," Alik said and she pulled out a small flashlight; it flashed toward where Jason fell and once in another direction where I guess Jessica now lay for only a second, but two bright orange lights flared to life for a moment and then the sound of crumbling rocks was muffled by the passing of another train. “Vanessa,” he then called to me, the rich creamy tone back. “Vanessa!”
“Huh?” I responded, dazed.
“Where does it hurt most?”
“I… I think so,” I coughed into my hand again, more blood came up. I had no clue what he asked. Then he pulled back his shirtsleeve.
"Alik, don't!" cried June sharply.
“If I don’t, she will die. Four cracked ribs, I believe a lung collapsed, fractures to her spine, and a lot of internal bleeding. Look at her hand; no hospital can help her." He raised his wrist to his mouth.
"Think about what you’re doing. It would be better to change her completely."
"No, not now. She should make that choice herself."
"Alik, they will need to know then! You’re creating so much trouble for yourself."
"I know." He bit into his wrist and I felt the first few drops hit my abdomen, warm and soft, and he raised my head and a few more drops
