be either. I’m just a girl who likes to make pretty weapons that kill nasty monsters. Is that too much to ask?”
“Actually, it is, Sweetling. You are responsible for the deaths of my creations,” a scathing voice slithered down my spine. I turned, watching a blonde move toward me with pale-skinned men beside her.
Vampire.
“Laura, I’m surprised you would lower yourself to come tonight, darling,” Cole muttered, glaring at the vampire.
“And miss finding the little bitch that is helping E.V.I.E. hunt down my children? As if. Nikolas, you, of all people, know how attached I am to my children,” she sneered, her fangs extending as he smirked, licking his lips as the queen evil bitch gave him a lusty stare. Her cold ice-blue eyes slid to me, and she slowly moved closer. “You’re the weapon master for the Seattle branch, are you not?”
“I am,” I said carefully, showing no fear as I faked it until I made it, which was out of this encounter alive, or so I hoped. “They do scream so beautifully when the silver shreds their non-beating hearts. If you want your children to live, all they have to do is follow the rules agreed upon by both you and E.V.I.E. If you can’t manage to control your own child, Laura, how the fuck do you manage an entire branch of your house?”
“You’re what, twenty, twenty-one at most? You’re an infant in this world, and I could end you before you blink, little bitch.”
“It would be a fatal flaw to underestimate me right now, Laura. You see, I am very young, but I am highly trained in the call of silver,” I stated, standing to come nose to nose with her as my finger lifted, trailing down her cheek. I felt Rhys rising behind me, standing ready to protect me, unaware that I wouldn’t need it. “At the moment, I can sense the Ben Wa Balls shoved up that pussy of yours that you’re clenching so hard to hold in. There’s also a hint of silver sitting in your ass. I’m willing to bet it has enough within it that when I call, it will come. You won’t, because well, I’m not trying to get you off here, after all. You have piercings in your nipples, your naval, and your clit. I dig it. Did it hurt? I’ve actually been considering getting mine done, but I was iffy about it since vaginas are very sensitive areas. Also, the clit has about eighteen thousand nerves in it, and one fuck-up and bye-bye orgasms. Oh, I’m off subject, aren’t I? Anyway. Before you strike me, those Ben Wa Balls will come out your eye sockets, ripping their way free through them via every major organ in your body. That bullet in your ass? I’ll call it too, and instead of your eyes, it will come out your mouth, which would probably be a shitty deal for you, pun intended.
“Those nipple rings will go into your body, shredding that worthless organ in your chest. And while it doesn’t beat, it is needed to run everyone else’s blood through your ice-filled veins. That clit ring? Well, I’ll just let it rip that vital part of your anatomy apart, because I’m a total bitch like that. I’ll be a darling and leave your naval alone, since by then, you’ll already be dead enough for me to grab that sword and take that pretty head of yours off your neck. So, I mean, you could try, but in the time I’ve wagged my tongue, I’ve called your silver, and I’m willing to watch it work for me, because honestly, I want to see how big those balls are that you’re clenching so hard, trying to hold onto.” I crossed my arms, watching the anger burning in her eyes as I gave a little yank on the silver, and she shivered. “I can’t believe you’d be so stupid to get a text message sent to you about a Silversmith and run right over with all that silver, just begging me to play with it inside your body, Laura. Considering I have been hunting you down with my silver for the last five years after you murdered a ten-year-old child because you wanted her fucking ice cream, that’s rather sloppy.”
“I will fucking destroy you.”
“No, you won’t.”
She lunged, and I ignited with power, watching as she dropped to her knees. The silver rushing through her as it ripped her apart. My eyes swirled as my veins glowed,
