Worth While

I raced down the wet uneven street and around the corner away from Eternity nightclub, my heart wanting to burst from my chest.

I had just stolen the Ankh; it was the only thing that would bring my little brother back to life.... and until today it had been the anchor that held a 10,000-year-old vampire in our realm.

"Judy, what did you get yourself into?" I muttered to myself while running.

I needed to get to the airport. Once on the plane I would be safe.

I felt his presence behind me before I heard the crows shrieking.

Grabbing the first cab that I saw, I yelled "Airport" and the driver floored it.

I glanced back to see Andres's tall, dark, lean form gliding towards the cab.

He veered off when we passed a cemetery.

Arriving at the Airport, I leaped from the cab flinging cash, and ran through the terminal.

As the plane lifted off, Andres stood in the rain , eyes burning, he hissed

“I will find you witch!”

I leaned back in my seat and shut my eyes. I knew he would....but it was worth it.
