Davy Harwood in Transition (The Immortal Prophecy 2)

"What's wrong, slick?" Kates drawled. I heard music in the background and that meant one thing.

"Are you at the Shoilster?"

I'd been there twice and hated both times. Plus, it was a vampire bar. I wasn't the biggest fan of vampires.

"Hell no." Kates barked out a laugh. "Listen, I'm going to be out of town for awhile. I need to figure some stuff out."

My childhood friend had been camped out in my dorm room for two weeks. The news was met with varying shades of relief and concern. I knew if Emily was the type to shout for joy, my roommate would've been screaming at the top of her lungs. I was growing tired of the tension between the two. Of course, Emily had reason for her dislike. Kates had been the one to kidnap us, but Emily wasn't privy to the fact that Kates had tried to save me from her psychotic vampire boyfriend later that evening.

"Where are you going?" She might be a vampire slayer, but she'd find trouble. She always did.

"I'm not going to find Lucan."

I relaxed, just a little.

Kates added, "There's something I gotta do on my own. Trust me, slick. You can talk to Blue if you want. She agrees that I should go and do this thing."

"I don't know, Kates." I wasn't too concerned about what my Empath Sponsor had to say since I'd been avoiding her ever since I found out she was connected to my immortal enemy.

"What don't you know? You don't even know what I'm doing."

I opened my mouth.

Kates beat me to it. "I'm not telling you because you'll just worry. I've talked about it with Blue. She agrees that I should go and do this. And she thinks I shouldn't tell you so I'm not. Besides, you have enough to worry about. You're the freaking Immortal, Davy. I have no idea why you're still in college, much less going to see that idiot supervisor."

I was going because Emily made me, but I couldn't say that to Kates. "I'm living a normal life because I'm going to be living for a long time. Are you sure that you're not looking for him?"

Kates' boyfriend had been a psychotic vampire, but he was human now. So that made him a psychotic human with all this knowledge about vampires and how to become a vampire again.

Kates was silent for a couple beats. "I don't really have to, remember?"

I flushed and shut my mouth. The reminder was duly noted. If anyone was going to find Lucan, it'd be Lucas Roane, his twin.

"Have you heard from him?" Kates asked, gently.

I rolled my eyes. I didn't need kid gloves."I haven't seen Roane since he took off."

That had been ten days ago. And since he was hunting Lucan, I had no idea how long it would take. Lucan was human, but he thought as a vampire. Roane was not only a vampire, but a hunter. I was surprised he was still gone actually. Hunters had the skill and jurisdiction to hunt and kill any vampire that broke the decree that stated no humans were to be bitten or harmed by vampires. They were the elite of their race and Roane was one of the best.

Lucan didn't stand a chance.

"Your roommate has been buzzing around the room like she's on meth. You sure she's a sober saint? She ain't acting like it."

"Did you say something?" I was so thankful to Kates' attention deficit. No more questions about Roane.

"What? I've been perfect."

"Kates, no," I groaned.

"The chit needs to toughen up, seriously. I've gotta go, Davy. I'll be in touch. Don't worry about me. I love you. I'll be fine." And my childhood friend hung up.

I sighed and dropped my

forehead on the desk. What else could I do?

"Okay, Miss Harwood, we've got you back in the program!" Mr. Moser broadcasted as he strode back into his office.

Yes, my life could get weirder. I lifted my forehead from the desk. "Mr. Moser, I hate phones. I'm not good on the phone. I'm not good at this work."
