Falling From the Light (The Night Runner Series book 3)
“I sat up gingerly. I’d been pulling steadily from the vampires—there were at least a dozen crawling through the house above—though their energy was distant and erratic. While it hadn’t healed me completely, at least my vision was clear again. My arm and chest throbbed, but each time I checked the wounds they looked a little better. If angry, scabbed-up tear marks could be considered “better.”
I was thirsty as hell and, after the fear had retreated enough, anger replaced it—a hot, steady bea...t that was as intense as it was futile. The fifty-pound sandbags surrounding the cage were stacked four high, and while I’d been able to push one off the top, all it did was buttress the others. Unless they let me out during daylight, I didn’t have much chance of getting away on my own.
Hopefully Derrick, my so-called bodyguard, had seen what happened and followed up. And, if not, Malcolm would start looking for me soon if he wasn’t already.MoreLess
