Page 77 of Fighting My Demons

"I am with Addie, and we are about to eat. Then I will head home," I tell him.

"I'll come and get you in an hour. Stay with Addie. You shouldn't have left without one of us," Latham growls before hanging up on me.

Chapter Forty-Six

I click my tongue annoyed, while Addie slides some food over to me and a plastic fork. I start eating while Addie watches me.

"Why are you looking at me like I am dinner?" I ask, and she chuckles.

"Sorry, I can smell them on you. Demons are a breed of their own. Latham drove me insane when he stayed with us for a few days."

"I don't mind them."

"Well, of course not. They are your mates or taints, whatever the heck their demon lovers are called." She shivers before grabbing her Chinese dish and eating some noodles.

"So, when are they going to change you?"

"Huh?"

"You know, make you immortal. They wouldn't have tainted you if they didn't plan on keeping you around."

"Unsure. I barely gave it much thought."

"But you have thought of it?"

I nod, chewing slower. I am not really sure what it involves, but I know I want to be with them.

"Well…" She reaches into her bra, pulls out a vial, and offers it to me.

"Breast blood. Gee, thanks. So thoughtful of you," I tell her. Taking the vial, I look at it. She laughs softly and points at it.

"Just in case," Addie says.

"Why hasn't it congealed?" I ask her, and she shrugs.

"I am a vampire, not a supernatural specialist. I have no idea, and it won't. It must be something with vampire DNA or something. I will have to ask Cyrus. That man is like a supernatural encyclopedia."

I sigh. "So I drink this, and then I become like you?"

"Ah, no. Um… they didn't explain?"

"They may have, but lately, I am having trouble with what is real and what is not," I tell her, placing it in my handbag.

"Maybe I should let them tell you," she says, chewing her lip.

"Honestly, I am just glad to be away from them, even if it is only for a few hours."

"Why? I can't stand being away from mine too long."

"Just nice to be on my own, without them meddling with my emotions and feelings and making me.."

"Horny?" Addie chuckles.

I clear my throat awkwardly. "Yep, that would be the word."

"Well, you drink it, then they just gotta break ya neck, and voila, you are a vampire."

I choke on a piece of chicken. Addie jumps up in a panic and pats my back. I wave her off, managing to swallow it down. I reach for the water bottle and drink some, washing the spicy satay chicken down.
