difficulties. I
make the ten block drive over to Sins and see Sebastian waiting in
the parking lot. I pause long enough for him to jump in and then
start towards Emerald Town. It is a three-hour drive, so we have
plenty of time.
    “Safe?” I ask wondering if we can
talk in the car.
    “Yes, I had the day runner install
some extra sound proofing. No one will hear us,” he
claims.
    “Good. So, are you up to answering
some questions?”
    “You need to be more informed, so I
think that would be a good idea,” he says.
    “As far as abilities, I was
wondering about your clairvoyance. How exactly does that
work?”
    “It isn’t really anything that is
predictable or reliable. With free will, it is always changing. I
see glimpses from time to time, if I concentrate on a person, of
things that may happen in their future. I, by no means, see
everything. I didn’t see us in the situation for one. Your choice
to bite me changed the path I saw you on. You will still end up at
the execution for this target, but the circumstances have changed.
If I wouldn’t have mentioned it to you at all, you may have just
been done with the Collective after last night and would have never
met him,” he explains. “I guess what happens after this mission is
done really is my fault.”
    “Nothing is going to happen. I go
in read my lines and kill the guy. If you want, I won’t even ask if
he has any last requests. That way he isn’t given a chance to
talk,” I say.
    He laughs. “I would love to see you
try to do that. I have a feeling this guy is a talker. No matter
what, you and me will remain in each other’s lives, so I can live
with that. No one can technically take you from me without killing
us both, so that will have to be good enough.”
    “No wonder I never spent more than
a couple hours with you. You are really morose and it is really
annoying,” I state.
    “It is just the situation I find
myself in. You just watch, once this is over I will be my cheery
self again. In fact, I will be so cheery you will probably be
complaining about that. Why don’t you move on to other questions? I
don’t imagine glimpses of the future are in your future,” he
says.
    “Fine. It was just the one that
seemed unique to you, so I wanted to know more. Lay it on me about
the rest. Smell is already coming online. When can expect hearing,
speed, strength, wings and whatever other things you can think of
normal vampires have?” I ask.
    “I will say you already have a jump
up on most. Your diet and your sensitivity to light are two biggies
most other vampires will never see. Since you didn’t die to become
a vampire, you will be able to walk in the daylight, I am pretty
sure. It took me many centuries to even be able to stand some level
of ultra violet rays. As far as the other things you listed, yes,
those are typical and you may start seeing them surface in the next
month, or you may not. Everyone is different and usually they start
out weak and you have to train yourself to use them fully,” he
explains.
    “I already know the myths about
wooden stakes to the heart are false, but you are confirming
sunlight is deadly?”
    “For the majority, it isn’t really
deadly, but they will get burned horribly and if they stand in it
long enough they will not be able to recover. Infants usually are
scorched the second they step outside. They are actually the most
vulnerable to the myths. If I was able to lie you, I would insert a
joke about garlic being able to ward them off, but sadly I cannot,”
he replies.
    “That is actually pretty funny. So,
what kind of things have you wanted to lie to me about before or
have just plain kept from me?” I ask.
    “Let’s see, I neglected to tell you
I had bonded with you against your will. Oh wait, you already know
that one. Most of the things I have kept are things I see in the
future and my real opinions on the Collective. I didn’t want to
influence your path, so I kept that information to myself. As
