.“No, that phone call.You’re in the hospital.” The frown slid away and he chuckled.“I can hurt you but I can’t kill you.Still, I could kill Turner.”“I think I’d like to leave now.” Pete sidled toward the door.“Or I could kill Pete,” Gabriel said.“Those who aren’t with us are against us.”A puddle appeared at Pete’s feet and he whimpered.Dava moved to his side and grabbed his hair, tilting his head to expose his neck.“Oh please,” she said.“Let me get rid of this disgusting creature.”It annoyed Matty that Gabriel had so quickly got the measure of her.He knew she wouldn’t want him to hurt even a guy who hadn’t been on her side.Still, Gabriel didn’t know about the pages she’d ripped out.“All right,” Matty shouted.“I’ll give you the books.Let him go.Let everyone go.”“You seem to be under the illusion you have some sort of influence here,” Gabriel said.“Give me the books now, or else.”“One minute,” Matty said.She dashed to the door.“Victor, go with her in case she decides to keep running,” Gabriel said.Matty heard the guy close the door behind him and he followed the few paces down the hall.She opened the secret compartment, grabbed the books and closed it up again.“If you want to help Turner and Catch, don’t interfere,” he whispered, and smiled.Oh God, is he on our side?The moment she handed the books to Gabriel, all hell broke loose.Catch leapt up and pushed her behind him, a knife flashing in his hand.Furniture went flying as the place erupted in a frenzy of activity.The sounds of fists striking flesh rang out and bodies collided with solid objects as men shouted and snarled and cried out in pain.Everyone moved so fast, whirling around her, Matty could hardly work out what was going on.It was as if she was fast-forwarding an action movie on the TV.The only one who wasn’t fighting was Pete.He’d crawled into a corner and sat hugging his knees and rocking, his face pressed into his arms.Matty longed to do the same but she wanted to help Turner and Catch.When Matty moved toward Turner, someone knocked her to one side and she collided with Dava.Matty grabbed Dava’s hair and tried to thrust her away, but it was like pushing a stone pillar.Matty didn’t see the knife coming, but she felt it slide into her chest and it hurt.She toppled backward and Dava fell with her.Matty could see Dava’s hand smoking.So was the knife silver?“Let’s see if you can stay alive without your heart,” Dava whispered as she crouched above Matty.“After I cut it out, I’m going to fucking eat it.”Matty didn’t think, just acted.She wrapped her hand around handle and yanked out the blade.As she twisted it around, someone grabbed Dava’s hair.Pete.The distraction was all Matty needed.She thrust the blade into Dava’s chest and Pete backed away, trembling, his hand over his mouth.Dava’s eyes opened wide as she fell onto Matty, a rush of warm liquid spreading between them.“You can bleed,” Dava said.“Not mine.” Matty shoved her to one side and rose to her feet.She looked down at her ruined sweater, lifted it to see no mark on her chest and then gulped when her gaze dropped lower.Dava’s blood was pooling on the wooden floor.What have I done? Dava quivered and then stopped moving.Matty shivered.Did it count as murder if Dava was already half-dead? Maybe in the vampire world there’d be a punishment for what she’d done.A hand settled on her shoulder and she yelped.“Matty, it’s okay,” Turner said.Dear God, it isn’t.Turner pulled a trembling Matty into his arms.“Sweetheart, it’s all over.You were brilliant.”“What if she gets up again?”“She won’t.” If she did, he’d rip her head off.“She m-might.Vampires in the movies don’t d-die that easily.”Turner pressed his face into Matty’s hair.“The knife’s silver.It hit her heart.In a bit, she’ll…disappear.”“Turner, I need help over here,” Catch shouted.Catch leaned over a guy’s leg, trying to staunch the flow of blood with his shirt.The mortal had retreated to the corner.Everyone else had gone.Turner scowled.“He’s one of Gabriel’s.”“No, he’s not.Seth’s undercover.”Turner pulled Matty with him to Catch’s side.“He needs blood,” Catch said.“Mine’s not pure enough.”Matty’s eyes opened wide as Turner tore open a vein in his wrist and pressed it against Seth’s mouth.For a moment nothing happened, and then Seth’s hands rose to clamp around Turner’s arm and he sucked.Catch tugged Matty close and kissed her forehead.“You okay, princess?”Matty nodded.“Are you? You’re covered in blood.”“Most of it is Seth’s,” Catch said.“Whose blood is this?” He touched her chest.“Dava’s.She stabbed me so I stabbed her.”“She stabbed you?” Catch lifted her sweater and sighed in relief.“Nothing there.”Turner removed his arm from Seth’s mouth and licked his wrist.“That licking thing is so useful,” Matty said.“Not very hygienic though.”Catch snorted.“Sorry about the diaries,” she said.“I did manage to—”Turner smiled.“It’s fine.I wanted Gabriel to have them.”Matty gaped.“You mean all this was for nothing?”“No, it was essential.” Seth pushed himself to a sitting position.“Thanks for the blood.That part wasn’t in the plan.”“What fucking plan?” Catch snapped.Seth tried to stand and Turner pushed him down.“Take it easy.I’ve Plasmix in the fridge.We could all use some.” Turner walked over to Pete and pulled him to his feet.“You need to go home.You won’t remember the last—seven days.You’ve had the flu.”“What if Gabriel’s waiting outside?” Matty whispered.“They’ve long gone,” Seth said.“But I k-killed Dava.Won’t he want to kill me?”Catch stroked her hair.“More likely thank you.No one will miss her.”Turner followed Pete out of the room, pointed him toward the door and then made for the kitchen [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
