Her beautiful face took on a look of pure hurt. &quot;I didn't feed on humans if that's what your questioning. I gave her an apologetic glance. &quot;Well....I mean with the little time you had to get....it was just really fast okay.&quot; I said my voice was calm and even, even though the question wasn't. &quot;I know what you mean but I swear I didn't, the butcher's shop, I went there and bought some.&quot; She said looking ashamed. &quot;Very vampire of you.&quot; I joked lightly hoping to lighten the mood. It worked, she smiled showing perfect teeth. &quot;But really why do you want to go patrolling with me anyway??&quot; My face showed my question and I guess my doubt, especially sincce her face didn't look very happy. &quot;Well I want to help I mean I'm not a bad vampire and whoever said the slayer didn't need help sometime.&quot; She said all this evenly kepping her voice sweet. 2008-04-22T21:20:06Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/27924 <p>The plot thickens.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27924?basename=58083 2008-04-22T21:20:06Z Laine the Grey http://ficlets.com/authors/lainegrey
