some water and bandages while I& " Stopping suddenly, I backed away. His blood
smelled like ambrosia and a wave of hunger rolled through me. I couldn't take
my eyes off that bloody towel. "Camille "
She heard the tremor in my voice and immediately ran to my side. "Go over in
the corner and look out the window until you can steady yourself. Delilah, get
Iris to help you towels, water, and bandages. Now."
As Delilah hurried out of the room, I forced myself over to the window and
stared out into the dark night, trying to ignore the fragrance that beckoned.
After a moment, I was able to focus.
"What happened? Are you okay?" I asked, careful not to turn around.
"Yeah," came the rough reply. "I found them. I don't think I found Dredge's
hangout, but I found the newborns. And that veg-head creature you call
Wisteria."
"Wisteria? You found her? Where the hell is she?" I whirled around. The sight
and smell of his blood didn't matter now not when I knew that the little bitch
was within our grasp.
Roz glanced up at my face and did a double take. "What the hell happened to
you? You look so different," he said. "Calmer, if I had to guess."
"Never mind that. Just take my word for it. I can fight Dredge now, and I have
a chance of winning. Tell us everything."
Delilah returned then, followed by Iris, bringing with them a basin of warm
water, several towels, and a first-aid kit.
"I decided to scout around up by the zoo, since the attacks were taking place
near there. By the way, did you see the headlines "
"Yes, yes. Go on."
As Camille began to dab the wound with a warm washcloth, he winced. "Fine,
just thought I'd ask. As I said, I went scouting. I decided to prowl around
down by this one thicket of trees in the park, so I used a camouflage spell.
Sure enough, about two hours ago, I heard what sounded like a struggle. I
followed the noise and I saw one of the newborns that got away from us the
other night. She was hanging around with a floraed."
"Floraed!"
"Yeah, by your description, I figure it's probably your babe. Anyway, that boy
from the other night?"
"You mean the teenager?" Camille let out a long sigh.
"Yeah. He wandered into the thicket with a girl on his arm who couldn't have
been more than sixteen. I don't think she knew what he was, but the minute she
saw Wisteria and the other chick, she turned to run. Wisteria grabbed her and
held her down so teen-boy could make a meal off of her right there."
"Did he succeed?" I gave him a hard look.
Roz cocked his head to the side. "You think I'm an amateur? I decided to break
up their little party. The girl escaped with little more than a scare. The
boy's toast, as is the other vamp. But Wisteria went crazy. That bitch caught
me a good one with her nails." He jerked. "Ouch! What the hell are you doing?"
"Sit still," Camille said as she deftly slathered both an antibacterial
ointment and a fungicide on his neck. "If you aren't careful, attacks from
dryads can lead to a nasty fungal infection. Two more minutes and I'm done.
One of these gashes is bad enough that I'm going to have to stitch it."
"Gross," Chase said, grimacing as he turned away. "You're going to sew the

man's neck up? Here? I still can't believe the crap you girls expose me to.
Next thing, you'll be introducing me to Frankenstein or& well, damn it,
Dracula's real." He sighed so loudly that I snorted.
Shamas laughed. "They too much for you, man?"
"They're too much for any man," Chase said, flashing him a smile. "But I
wouldn't change things. I guess."
Delilah wandered over to watch as Camille deftly wove the needle through the
opposing sides of flesh, stitching up the worst of the gashes. "Boy, she got
you worse than she got me," Delilah said, showing him the scar on her throat.
"It seems Wisteria has a thing for throats. Maybe she wants to be a vampire?"
"I think it's more likely she's just lost every stitch of common sense she
ever had. She's a scroo-loose, as bad as a rabid dog." Roz shivered as Camille
leaned near his neck to bite through the thread. "Baby, you smell like sex,"
he whispered, wrapping one arm around her waist and speaking loud enough for
the room to hear.
"What did I tell you " I started to say, but Camille flicked him on the
forehead with her thumb and index finger and sauntered away.
"And you smell like trouble." She grinned at him. "Hands off. I'm spoken for.
Three times over."
"Touché." Roz looked around. "Okay, slap a bandage on this puppy and I'm ready
to roll. I take it you were just heading out?"
"We know where Dredge is "
"And I know where your friend is," Roz broke in. "That's the main reason I
came other than needing some TLC and a throat full of cat gut. No offense,
Delilah."
"None taken," she said.
"You know where Erin is?" Camille leapt to her feet and shrugged on her
capelet. "Why didn't you say so first thing?"
"Because I needed medical attention, wench. Anyway, yes, I smelled Erin. The
newborns have her in their private little nest. I don't know where that is,
exactly, but I'm pretty sure we'll find it in the general vicinity of
Veggie-Girl."
"Then she's not with Dredge?" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he
didn't have her, she might not have been put through the wringer yet. On the
other hand, that meant we still had to find her.
Camille broke in. "Dredge will keep for a few hours, but Erin might not.
Especially if Wisteria's pissed. Look what she did to Delilah, to Roz& think
what she could do to an FBH, Menolly. And you know how she feels about
humans."
I stared at her. "You're right. Erin's in a nest of newborns, along with a
wacked out floraed who has a bone to pick with humanity. Yeah, we have to go [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
