Milo pulled the after the darkness of the hall To all the people dancing inside, it seemed dim and reasonable for a club, but it was different for va the far side of the room, and bottles lined the back wall, full of alcoholic drinks for the humans Several very attractive va The stools in front of it were full, and a line of people aiting to get drinks

The ceilings of the rooh for a base out any sound of heartbeats, which was a relief Nothing could be done for the smell At least five-hundred people were s wildly And they all smelled deliciously of blood and sweat Jack squeezedme back to him before bloodlust hit me

The dancers were a mixture of vah the humans to make sure only the more attractive specimens made it down here Every one of them was beautiful and delectable For Bobby’s part, he seery with hi to me

"She’s probably in the other room," Milo leaned in closer to us He didn’t raise his voice at all, but I could hear hi his arh the crowd Jack looked down atthe floor It required ainst lots of people, to physically be able to feel their rapid pulses beating against , I nodded and gripped his hand, and we followed Milo

Everyone was hot fro froh to get the person, but he was strong, and they parted for us It was still a fight to keep back my thirst I had no idea how Milo had been able to handle himself so well after he first turned

We hts started to fade and a doorway led into the next roohts Milo waited at the door for us, Bobby pressed up close to hi on his shoulder

Just before we reached thely familiar Jack and Milo didn’t seem to notice it, buried in the sounds of the club, but I froze inbell… on heliuht purple hair

I was just about to give up looking when a girl at the bar caughtlike silk under the blue lights She tilted her head back, laughing at souy said to her, and I shivered That was Violet’s laugh

Absently, she looked back over her shoulder, her odd purple eyes landing on nition She traded in the thick black eyeliner for soer,into a va in her eyes led er than that

"You know her?" Jack was atat her quizzically He had only met her very briefly when she looked nize her

"I think that’s Violet" I walked towards her, but Jack put his hand onyou before? Why are you going to talk to her? Are you gonna…" His face darkened "What are you gonna do?"

"I don’t knoanna talk to her" I shookon?" Milo asked He stood in the doorway, his arm around his boyfriend He hadn’t seen Violet, and that was for the best He would take running into her ht back," I said and hurried over to Violet before she hid or escaped Jack was right behindto her was mid-sentence, and she stood up without explanation I know I should’ve felt angry She had alotten e I just wanted to talk to her

"Hey Violet" I blocked her path, and she looked at one, and that probably had to do with the death of her boyfriend

"I don’t knohat you want but…" She trailed off, her eyes flicking from lanced back at Jack toJack had such an open face, it was pretty hard for hi unless he was really pissed off
