from the kalye bellow came the nighttime in a slummier part of seattle some music with heavy brass a couple of people walking with nervous fast steps some drunk bum pag-awit off key in the distance.

"you`re bree right?" diego asked "one of the nebies"
i didnt like that newbie. whatever. "yeah im bree but i didnt come in with the last group. im almost three months old"
"pretty slick for a three monther" he sinabi " not many of us would of been able to leave the scene of the acsident like that " it was like a complitment like he was really inpressed.
"didnt want to mix it up with raouls freaks"
he nodded "amen sister there kind is nothing but bad news"

weird. diego was weird. he sounded like he was having a regular conversation. no hostility, or supistion. like he wasnt thinking about how easie it would be to kill me right now. he was just talking to me.

"how long have you been with riley?" i asked curiously
"going on elecen months now"
"wow thats longer then raoul"
diego rolled his eyes and spat venom over the edge of the building "yeah i remember when riley brought that trash in things keep getting worse after that"


i was quite for a moment wondering if he thought everyone younger then him was trash.. not that i cared. i didnt care what anyone thought anymore. didnt have to. like riley sinabi i was stronger faster and better. nobody els counted

fiego whistled low under his breath.
"there was go just takes a little brains and paitients" he pointed down and across the street.

half hidden around the edge of a purple--black alley a man was cussing at a woman and slapping her while another woman watched silently. from there clothes i guessed that it was a pimp and two of his employees.

yjis is what riley had told us to do hunt the dregs. take the humans that no one was going to miss the ones who wernt headed tahanan to a waiting family the ones who wouldn`t be reported missing.

it was the same way he choise us. meals and gods both comming from dregs.


unlike some of the others i still did what riley told me to do. not because i liked him. that feeling was long gone. it was because what he told us sounded right. how did it make sense to call attention to the fact a bunch of new Bampira were claming seattle as their hunting ground? how was that going to help us?

i didn`t even belive in Bampira before i was one. so if the rest of the world didn`t belive in Bampira then the rest of the Bampira must be haunting smart the way riley sinabi to do it. they probably had a good reason.
