Blood Forever
“I’d almost forgotten what she looked like, pre–extreme makeover. But the sight of her now brings it all rushing back to me. A pockmarked face, greasy blond hair, beady little pig eyes, and a body smooshed into tight black leather three sizes too small. The fat oozing out the sides makes me more than a little nauseated. Or maybe it’s the sight of the wooden stake, holstered at her side.
“Who are you?” she growls. “And what do you think you’re doing here?”
My mind races for an answer that will sa...ve us. I do not want to face her in a full-on fight after the last time. Then I remember I’m still technically posing as my sister. Maybe that can work out to our advantage.
“My name is Rayne McDonald,” I declare with as much bravado as I can muster on short notice. “I am a vampire slayer, like you, and I have apprehended a prisoner.” I turn to gesture to Magnus, at the same time trying to wink at him without Bertha seeing so he’ll understand this is only a ruse. The last thing I need is for him to believe me and try to take both of us on.MoreLess
