Excerpt
They’d only been standing there for about five minutes when
Lilly’s head shot up toward the far end of the alley. Two men came around the
corner, yelling at each other in Italian. Torren’s attention was immediately
captured by the second man, who was broad-chested and a little heavyset. He
wore a light gray suit with matching fedora. He had the first man by the back
of his jacket and was shaking him, and yet he still managed to walk with a
swagger. But what caught Torren’s attention was the fact that he was also a
vampire.
“You think you’re so brave, huh?!” the vampire yelled. His
blue eyes flashed dangerously. He shook the other man again so hard his teeth
rattled.
The other man was thinner and shorter, practically a
scarecrow compared to the vampire. He wore black jeans and a blue button-up
shirt. had his hands over his head and was yelling back, “Are you crazy? What’s
the matter with you? I’m minding my own business. What’s wrong with you?”
The vampire shoved the small man face-first into the stone
wall, then grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. The vampire towered over
him, using his bulk to keep the man from getting away.
“What’s the matter with you?” repeated the man, shrinking
back into the wall as well as he could. “I’m minding my own business, I say,
and you come—“
The vampire hissed and bared his fangs.
Torren started toward them.
The scent of warm urine rose up to meet his nostrils. He
looked at the man’s crotch and saw a patch of wetness form a rough circle and
then spread down his trouser leg.
“You shut up and listen good,” the vampire was saying. He
spoke Italian with a strange accent, the vowels not well-defined. “You scum.
You piece of shit on the heel of my shoe. You deserve to die. If I ever—“
Torren reached them and pushed the vampire back from the
man. “Leave him alone,” Torren said in Italian. His whole body was taut.
