Prolog
“Why me?” Raven asked honored but confused. She had never been asked to go on a mission before, much less a solo mission.
“You’re perfect for this,” Thierry announced.
“Yeah, you’re a girl,” Ash said.
“Ash,” Thierry growled.
Ash looked back at him interested. “Yeah?”
“There are actually three types of vampires,” Thierry began now trying to ignore Ash. “We were created by Maya, they were created by Dracula.”
Raven looked at Thierry in shock. “Seriously? Dracula exists?”
“Not as the books portray him but yes. I need you to go to the penthouse of one of their leaders: Deacon Frost.”
“Okay. What am I going there for?”
“He has a scroll with an old prophecy on it. He said he’d be willing to negotiate with us. Unfortunately, he’s also negotiating with The Night World.”
“Who’s the Night World sending?”
“We don’t know.”
“Why are you sending me?” she asked again.
“Because we need someone level-headed, smart-”
“And available,” Ash put in ever so helpfully.
“Why are you even here?” Thierry demanded.
“The entertainment value.”
“When do I need to be ready?” Raven interjected.
“By tomorrow, I’m sorry it’s so soon-” Thierry began.
“No, it’s okay.” Now she understood. She was the last resort; he had already asked the others who were available. It was okay; she’d get her chance to prove that she was just as good as the others, and that they could trust her. “Anything else I should know?”
“That’s about it. Ash will answer any questions you have when he escorts you to the Mr. Frost’s penthouse.”
Ash sat up a little straighter. “When I what?”
“You know him, Ash. Besides, if you’re going to hang around and make trouble I’m going to put you to work. Besides, she’ll need you nearby if something happens.” Ash frowned but nodded.
“I guess I’ll go pack,” Raven said standing.
“Be careful, Raven,” Thierry said. “He promised that these would be simple negotiations but you never know.”
“I’m always careful,” Raven announced.
Early the next morning
“I’m going to miss you,” Jez said hugging her friend quickly. Affection wasn’t something that the two girls shared very often and it told Raven how dangerous this mission might be.
“Be careful,” Morgead said. “Call if you need anything.”
“I will,” Raven shouldered her dufflebag. “I’ll see you guys soon.”
“Ready?” Ash asked leaning on the doorframe. Jez glared at him for the interruption. He stared back blandly.
“I’m ready,” Raven said. He took her bag and tossed it in the back. They got in and he took off with a squeal of tires.
Later
“What am I not being told?” Raven asked as they neared the penthouse.
“Back in the day Deacon and I were acquaintances I’ve been to parties, I’ve hung out in his penthouse. Does that answer your question?”
“Almost. If he’s evil why are we even negotiating with him?”
“He has no love for the Night World. They refused to recognize his kind. Daybreak doesn’t. He’ll listen.”
“Why me?”
“He asked for someone else who fit your criteria.”
“What? Boobs?”
Ash smirked. “Close. He wanted someone who’s never done this before.”
“I won’t even ask how that’s close. Why?”
“One thing Deacon hates is people looking down on him, and most of our agents have a bit of an overconfidence problem.”
“True.” Although, Raven reasoned, Ash didn’t. He still firmly believed that deep down he was scum.
“Here we are.”
“Thanks, Ash. Anything else?”
“No, but I told Thierry I’d be nearby. Call if you need me.”
“I will,” Raven promised getting out and grabbing her bag.
“Watch your back.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Why me?” Raven asked honored but confused. She had never been asked to go on a mission before, much less a solo mission.
