Having grown up around royal vampires, I'd met more than my fair share of vampires bent on helping the human race. Ironically, it was usually the common vampires-the ones turned from human to vampire, rather than being born a vampire-who had no qualms with killing people.

My phone rang and I groaned, knowing that it was probably Vince. I pulled it from the backpack and saw that I was right.

"What do you want? Are you going to call me several times a day now?"

"I want a real update, Samantha, and don't hang up on me this time."

So that's what this was about. I'd hurt his pride. "There's nothing to report. I'm still looking for the right guy."

"Maybe you shouldn't lead in with you being a vampire. Seduce some guy that will do the job and then when he's wrapped around your finger, tell him about it then."

"Great. I'll do that. You didn't answer my question. Are you going to call me every day now?"

"If you don't make a habit of checking in. Oh and since it looks like you'll be there a while, be sure to enroll in the school."

"I can't wait. These things take time, Vince. If I have something important to tell you, I will. Otherwise just let me focus on what I'm doing here. I heard the noise in your background earlier. It sounds like you've got plenty to keep yourself occupied while I'm gone."

Vince laughed. "We're perfect for each other, Samantha. We both have someone on the side all the time and we don't let it bother us."

I rolled my eyes. "I thought we were perfect for each other because we both want to rule over vampires worldwide after removing the current leadership."

"That too, baby. Have fun with the humans." The call ended.

I put my phone away, thinking about the differences between Tanner and Vince. Sure, Tanner was a high school football player and obviously very different from a ruthless vampire who was set on ruling the world, but I found myself really taken in by his innocence. I wanted to learn more about that and not to crush it as I usually would. Instead of seeing it as a weakness, I was drawn to it.

What was I going to tell Tanner? I was going to explain that I was a vampire, but I couldn't tell him that I was actually working with one of the most powerful vampires around so we could take out one of his classmates. He would think that I was a monster, even if he didn't know who Alexis was.
