Chapter 7

Jared was met by his legion of vampires after he left mysteriously disappeared and left Kyra and Gerald.

“Why didn't you kill this Kyra?” The legion asked Jared.

“Would you believe that I enjoy taunting her?” Jared answered them with a question.

“You said you would take her out tonight!” The other vampires were getting mad at Jared's sloppiness. “You took out her grandmother and her mother. Why is it so hard for you to take out Krya?”

“She outsmarted me.” Jared lied. “As soon as I saw she was going to swing that sword at me, I knew I as done in. The only thing I could do was was disappear mysteriously.”

“Well, I guess we'll let it go this time.” The legion told him. “Don't let it happen again.”

They left Jared to himself. Jared couldn't believe he let Kyra get the best of him. He enjoyed taunting her. He never taunted any slayer the way he enjoyed taunting Kyra. The other slayers he's killed were easy prey. But Kyra, he should have been able to kill her. But something kept inside him kept him from doing so. Jared knew that if faced with the possibility of killing Kyra, he knew deep in his heart, he would fail again.

Meanwhile.......

Kyra was training really hard now. She couldn't believe that Jared pulled a fast one and disappeared right before her eyes. She would win, Kyra told herself. She would kill Jared to avenge her mother's and her grandmother's deaths. She would make sure of it. Jared would die at her hands, or sword.
