gates to
come with us.”
    Victoria
blew out air. “Then let Brie stay here and maybe we can—”
    “No!”
Samuel interrupted. “We go to one of Octavia’s parties’ tomorrow night. She’ll
be alone and high enough to spill anything she knows. We also need to send some
men out to Zumaya and make sure Brie’s family is protected. Leeta said they
were traveling north, tracking our scent. If they continue, our scent will
eventually lead them to Zumaya. Let’s have men waiting there to defend the city
enough for the residents to escape.”
    “We
don’t have any money. All of that will take wagons full of money,” Victoria
countered.
    “But
we do have my blood.” I extended my arm out to them. “We could get a lot for
one vial. I’ll give you as much as you need. Maybe we should only sell it to
vampires for now since it causes a reaction with humans.”
    Samuel’s
lips lowered to a frown. “I don’t like using your blood.”
    Victoria
and Ty’s faces brightened.
    I
shrugged. “This isn’t for you to decide. We need the money.”
    “My
human assistant, Quincy, can get the supplies for us while we sleep today,” Ty
offered. “And I know a group of blood pirates that will be more than happy to
rush off to Zumaya for a decent price.”
    “Sounds
good then,” Samuel muttered. “Let’s get a vial of Brie’s blood and then get
some rest. We’ll have a big night tomorrow.”

 
     
     
    Chapter Six
     
    You’re being ridiculous! I screamed in my head. Come and sleep in the bed with me.
    I’m fine out here. Samuel’s voice sounded in my
mind.
    I
delivered a vision of me naked with my hands between my thighs and hoped he
witnessed it. Growling ensued outside my door.
    Please, Brie. Go to sleep. His voice seeped into my head,
caressing my body from the inside.
    How can I sleep when you do
things like that?
    He
didn’t respond. Instead, noise echoed outside the door and then another door
slammed shut. He must have moved from
sleeping by the campfire and went to the couch in the room Leeta was resting
in. I yanked his rainbow blanket up over my chest, completely pissed with
him. We only had a few nights remaining before I left. I would have loved to
spend them cuddling next to him. He wanted to wean off of me and although I
understood, I didn’t have to enjoy it. I
should be welcoming this and trying to get used to sleeping without him too. I
shut my eyes and inhaled his scent on the pillows.
    “I
can’t believe he left you alone.” A deep voice came from above my head.
    My
eyes snapped open. Ian hovered over me, hanging upside down from the ceiling.
My heartbeats increased to an erratic pace.
    “Please
don’t scream. You’ll want to hear what I have to say.” He flipped down and
landed on the bed right next to me. I bounced a little. Dust floated from him.
I coughed, but didn’t move my hand to cover my mouth. Shaking, I lay there,
frozen and unable to utter a sound.
    His
face tilted to the side. “I swear I won’t hurt you.”
    “Then
why are you here?” I whispered back.
    “That
woman was human, now she’s a vampire.”
    “Is
that all you have to say?” I gripped the blanket with my hands and squeezed the
cloth with my fingers.
    Samuel!
    No
reply came.
    Ian
rested next to me and crossed his legs. “Your blood changed the woman?”
    Samuel! Ian is in here!
    “I
don’t know why Leeta is a vampire.”
    Ian
sniffed and then moved his head from side to side. “You’re lying to me. It had
to be your blood.”
    “Why?”
    “Well,
I didn’t conclude this until after several details.” His skeleton hands rubbed
the gray decaying flesh on his chin. Dust sprinkled down between his fingers.
“Earlier this week, my friends that hang on the ceiling near the exit of the
sewer said that Samuel carried a woman with red hair away.”
    “You
already knew I was with him earlier this week. Being that you attacked me.”
    “Well,
I wouldn’t say attacked. Rather, my wooing is rustier than it used
