Chapter Nine

Nikki

Kristin, our boss, lived above her little wiccan herbal shop "Last Blood Drop". She was a vampiress, a very powerful one at that. We walked into her shop. There was a cute guy behind the counter. He looked up at us when we came in. His eyes landed on me and he grinned. I heard Kate clear her throat. I snapped out of my yummy day dream I was having and walked up to the counter.

"We are here to see Kristin." I said. He continued to grin at me.

"I'm sorry but Ms. Creek is not in." The line sounded rehearsed. I gave him a grin of my own, but mine wasn't warm. He lost his grin and suddenly he looked scared.

"We know that Ms. Creek is indeed in, since she never leaves here, especially during the day. We also know that she is in the back room making some potions, so why don't you go back there and tell her that we are here... or we will go back there ourselves." He looked stunned. He got up and hurried into the back. Seconds later Kristin came out looking pissed, but when she saw it was us, she smiled.

"It's ok Zack, these are important friends of mine. Next time they come in, get me immediately." So that was the hottie's name. Kristin led us past the now grinning Zack and into the back room. She opened the door to the secret passage way that lead to a meeting room we used.

She sat in the chair at the table and we followed. She looked at us all, eying Griffin the most. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair.


"Okay, tell me where Dagger is, and why you brought an vampire here." She sounded a little pissed. We quickly told her everything. Ceara was quiet through it all. As we finished what we knew, she looked up at Kristin.

"She kissed him Kristin. Well I think she kissed him, I don't know if it was her or him that kissed who first, but I know that they kissed. Why would she do that? He is our enemy?" Kristin looked at Ceara. Her eyes turned stormy and we knew she was Seeing. Not Ceara, but the future and things un-seen by us.

" Sunshine, there are things that are going to happen to Dagger, that no one can explain why. She is going to make a great change to how you guys and everyone else lives." Her mystical voice sounded like there were three women speaking at once. When she was done speaking, the other voices seem to whisper things in a language that we didn't know.

We looked at one another and then back at Kristin who was back to normal. She gave us a grave look.

"We have much to do." She got up and led us back to the front of the store.
