"Cool I get to see you vamps shape-shift I love that" Trina clapped her hands "Go for it, Glory What do you like to turn into?"

"Nothing" The way I felt, I wondered if I even could shift Brittany threw open the French doors

"Mia amica, are you sure you want to do this?" Flo rubbed what ave Trina a superior look "You don’t look well"

"Sure I’reat after I feed froes my battery" I enjoyed the cool breeze on inally better "I’ the rest I’ot to be tehed "I called Zia and told her to warn the designers that I’d been losing weight She laughed it off Probably figured I’d only lost a pound or two"

"Wait till they see you, girlfriend So skinny They’ll be bloay" Flo grinned "This Zia, she is sners will be going crazy trying to , working up the courage to shift "Guess this is worth it" The street was far below us and there was a beautiful sky above A clear night, cool breeze and the lights of LA e It had to be better than standing on these aching feet I leaned against Flo when she put her arm around me "Of course it is Totally"

Flo frowned "I hope so" She hugged me "Be careful Brittany, Valdez, take care of her Don’t let her out of your sight"

"You bet" Valdez bumped my hip

"Hey, we’re two on two" Brittany checked out Ian’s bodyguards "No, uys are lame-ass losers"

"Oh? You want to go another round?" Surfer nuot in Brittany’s face

"Settle, children" Ian stood beside ain "You think you can shift, Glory?"

"I sure hope so Just never has been o ahead Valdez and I will be last" I saw Brittany and Ian’s guards change and fly out following Ian’s directions

"We don’t have to do this Grab your sunglasses and a scarf and I’ll do ed me

When Trina arrived at the park and the waiting guards, I landed on the ground next to her and concentrated on shifting back For a moment, I stalled Yep, there was a real scary hesitation Maybe because I knewfeet But I finally got a grip on my reluctance and did the necessary

"Ah, there you are Hey, you attackedfazed Trina "And when you shiftedMan, you were just a blur and then off into the sky Ao"

"Stop! You’re hurting So you need to stretch" Trina got serious She led h a bunch of exercises that did work the kinks out of h muscles

"We’ll start slow and then you can put on some speed if you feel like it I know you vamps--you can run really fast if you want to I hope you won’t just leave h I hate it when vahed "I can’t wait till Ian makes me a vampire"
