Deadly Offer
“Herself, and her capacity to do evil things. The vampire, and his presence, the way he was changing her.
The future, and what she chose.
The friends she had, and how she would hurt them. Or hurt herself.
And this: driving Ryan home. Alone with a boy in a car.
The dark of night was a capsule around them. The interior of the car was their world. How much less relaxed they were, without Michael and Constance to dilute their emotions. They had been a group: easy laughter, easy talk. Ryan’s hand res...ted lightly on her shoulder as she drove, and his fingers for a moment touched her hair.
The touch spooked her, and she suppressed a shudder.
She could feel the vampire behind her, thinking of her, planning for her, waiting.
Up and over yet another hill she drove.
When she came down the other side, a mass of soil and rock blocked the vampire. It was impenetrable. His dark path could not go that far; she could feel in her ribs, her spine, the flesh of her back, that they had reached some kind of safety.MoreLess
