Chapter 6

When Kyra got to the Smithsonian, Jared had already left a bloody trail of victims lying everywhere inside and outside the Smithsonian. Kyra went on a rampage looking for Jared. She shuddered as she saw body after body while looking for Jared. Just as it looked as if Jared was nowhere to be found, she hears Gerald calling for her. She turns around and finds Jared holding Gerald by the neck just about to bite him in the neck. Enraged, Kyra runs towards Jared but misses as he dodges her and she runs straight into the wall of the north side of the Smithsonian.

By this time, Jared is turned onto Kyra’s feistiness and engages in some head games with her.

“So, Kyra, why don’t you come over to the dark side.” Jared taunts her.

“I’d rather spit nails.” Kyra spits back.

“Oh, c’mon! It’s not that bad. Just think about it; eternal life. Doesn’t living forever mean something to you?” Jared question Kyra.

“Yes, it does. It means your one sick vampire and I don’t want no part of your world.”

“Well, too late, my dear. You’re already part of it.”

“What do you mean?” Kyra asked Jared, puzzled.

“I mean, you’re the vampire slayer. It’s your duty to slay vampires. You can’t rest ‘til every last one of us are dead.”

“Yeah, don’t remind me.”

“Well, Kyra-------do your job and come and get me.” Jared taunted her.

And just as Kyra was about to swing her mother’s sword at him, Jared disappeared, leaving Kyra alone. She ran over to Gerald who was okay, but dazed from loss of blood where Jared b it him. Kyra panicked when she saw the hole in his neck. Gerald reassured her he was okay. That Jared only sucked just enough to make him pass out. It was right here at this moment that Kyra vowed vengeance on Jared and his gang of vampires.
