get addicted to it. Then Kaitlyn will
kick your butt, and lock you in a closet."
Eve just smiled, and looked
around knowing that she wasn't getting it all. That was nice, since he wasn't
going to explain that one, since it wasn't one of his proudest moments.
"That's a good idea. I was
going to try for some food, but I don't think we have any ready, so let's get
that done?" His words came out a bit terse sounding, but that was due to
his own hunger, which was a bit high at the moment. Merry looked worried about
it, being sensitive to his moods. That was an Elth thing too, especially for
the women. It probably meant that she didn't really expect him to treat her
well all the time. He really tried to, however.
Always. She was worth treating
well. Almost everyone was.
Thinking that, he smiled at
everyone, let his eyes go wide and waved for them to follow him to the drawing
room. Normally Claire used it as her office, when she was at home, but at the
moment it was empty. The place was nice, if old fashioned looking. There was
real leather on the chairs, which got Troy to tense, seeing the pain coming off
of it. It was kind of clear that Eve got that too, but didn't let it phase her.
In fact, her inner self spoke of it being a bit tantalizing.
The lesson itself took longer
than he'd thought it would, since Eve could do it, but it took her a while to
really get a hang of the whole thing. Troy got it faster, but was weaker in
doing it at the end than Zack was. Eve, however, moved energy around like it
was an ocean wave. Hard to make happen, but when she did there was pure force
behind it.
Equalizing all of it was going to
take practice, but it was a good start.
A great one.
It was Nikki that came to find
them, or more accurately find him , smiling as she watched them from the
door.
"The hungry masses are
looking for their energy fix, boss man. Don and Kate took off already, since
they actually need to study for finals, and Chris is willing, but we've been
keeping him away from the Alede so far. Plus, I don't really have anything to
trade him for it, since we've also been keeping him from getting any, in order
to keep his brother happy. Are these two ready that way? I can do Troy, to pay
for it?" Then she looked at Eve. "You too, if you want?"
Eve tilted her head, and waved
the woman closer.
"Zack says I need to get the
power level down, but if you want to try it, I can do it for free?" There
was a hint of risk to it. A real enough thing.
Looking at them both, Zack
nodded.
"Go really slow, and hold
back as much as you can. This could injure her, and I don't want to explain why
Claire's Lieutenant exploded all over the woodwork in here."
Eve looked at the other vampire
and smiled.
"Interesting. In my world
you two kind of hate each other. Then, there you're several hundred years old,
and dress like a punk rocker. Also Lenore's sister. As in blood relative?"
The process was done the same way
as normal, and while strong forces moved, it wasn't so much that anything bad
happened. It just went quickly, with Nikki moving back away after about a
minute, instead of several.
"Not... Bad. I'm full, by
the way. I... Wait, if you can do that, can you feed yourself energy? I
thought that you had to be alive to pass life energy that way?" She was
baffled, and looked at Zack, a bit harder than normal.
"Apparently not? The energy
is coming from the universe, but it always does, no matter who does the
harvesting. The source is the same for everyone, so... I can't see why it would
have to work that way. It's just that humans do it normally, and vampires
don't. Eve has to make herself do it, I bet. Worth it though, since it kind of
means she can have unlimited power and not need to feed."
Nikki seemed fine with that, if a
bit impressed, so turned to look at the door, just as a crowd of people showed
up. Having heard them walking down the hall, no doubt. It was a mix of Alede
and vampires.
Zack looked at them, and worked
