Skeleton Girl - Agent Aries (which ebook reader TXT) 📗

the air and tossed on the bed as if I weighed nothing at all.
"What the hell!?"I growled, my trigger finger twitching.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"My car then home.Mind getting out of the way?"I snapped.
I'm tired, I'm hurt, stressed out and I feel like taking it out on someone, namely Gregory.
"After a few questions."
"Goddammit."

"I was simply doing my deliveries and then EF drags me inside and tries to kill me.I managed to hurt him somehow and then you know the rest.Don't you Mr.Hero." This girl is almost nothing like the flirtatious vixen from a day ago, but then again she had some of her organs rearranged by a rogue vampire so I can't really blame her for being a bit put out.
"What does EF mean?"
"Evil Fucko...Didn't know his name so I gave him one."I had to bite my cheek at that one.
"I see.That's all?Nothing...strange about him?"
"Oh, well I guess you weren't there for the part were he ripped out Wickland's throat out or the part were he drank his blood.I guess I can cross off meet a vampire from my bucket list."She said it so candidly that I did a double take.
"Do you really believe what your saying?"
"Yep and anybody who has a problem with it gets to meet my friend called I don't give a fuck."Her eyes snapped fire, daring me to contradict her.
I actually am starting to like this crass and bitchy side of her.Am I a masochist?
"You're right actually.He is a vampire."
"To be quite honest I didn't expect you to believe me."
"It would be kind of funny if I didn't.After all I am a vampire too."
She just stood there for a moment and cocked her head, examining me from head to toe.
"At least you don't sparkle."
Sure

It's been six weeks since I got my ass handed to me on a platter, and I was starting to think that perhaps I should get the hell out of dodge.Ever since Gregory saved me he has been my personal shadow, I know because I've been catching glimpses of him out of the corner of my eye.Sure he was a vampire but this was starting to get on my fucking nerves.My eye twitched as I rounded a corner to my home and found him sitting on the steps up to my apartment.

"Do you need something?"I said and edge of annoyance to my voice.

"What no hello?"He grinned a wicked yet heart stopping smile.

"Hello.Now what hell do you want?"I brushed passed him to the door, ignoring the little tingle I felt when our bodies touched briefly.

"How are you feeling?"I unlocked the door and opened it.

"Well my ribs healed."I sighed as he walked into my flat like he owned the place.

"Hey don't you have to be invited?"I got an eye roll for that one.

"And your head?"He looked at me, the very real concern in his eyes taking me by suprise.

"The voices come and go."I winked and smiled reassuringly, then frowned not sure why I wanted to assure him.

I was about to ask again why he was here when a familar ball of fur launched itself at me, knocking me into Gregory.I found myself cradled in Jason's-I mean Gregory's- arms, my cheeks burning and my pulse racing.

"Oh, sorry about that.I-"I distangled myself as fast as I could and forced my cheeks to cool down.

I glared at the feline who was innocently purring by my feet, as if didn't just cause me to fall.Evil little monster.

"That's ok.Is this the mysterious Beast I've heard so much about?"I blinked before replying.

"Uh, yeah.Where did you...?"Gregory gave me a look.

"It's a small town.Who hasn't heard of the delivery girl with a cat that follows her like a dog?"I nodded slowly.

"Anyways...What do you want?"I asked briskly trying not to get lost in his grey eyes.

What the hell was happening to me?Sure I've had sex, lots of sex actually, so when did I turn into a puddle of estrogen when a hot guy shows up?I shoved all those thoughts away and put up my defences.

"What are you doing friday night?"I froze.

"Uh, nothing, why?"

"Come with me to the Hunter Valley Halloween Ball."I had to take a moment to process what he said and scrape my jaw off the floor.

"What?"I blinked hard, I must have heard wrong.

"Come with me to the Halloween Ball."

No, no way in hell.Are you crazy?Why are you asking me?Don't you have your fangirls to go with?I opened my mouth to say all those things that ran through my mind, but guess what came out instead.

"Sure"

Caller Unknown

My mouth is going to be the end of me one of these days I swear.I groaned and flopped on the couch after Gregory left, something about his work.I rubbed a hand over my face and swore when Beast jumped onto my stomache.

"You evil thing."I murmured lovingly as I petted him.

"What am I going to do?I can't just say; Sorry cant go on friday because your a vampire cop and I am the Skeleton you swore to put away."I scratched Beast behind the ears as I pondered the situation.

Eventually I sighed and desided to solve a different problem.The issue of my identity being found by a vampire I so lovingly named Evil Fucko.I had been going through every customer I had, every person I had delivered goodies too, even just people that have seen me.I was trying to find out how EF had known who I was and where to find me because that info was closely kept secret and if he knew that he knew other things about me I'd rather not have him know.

The phone rang, scaring the shit out of me.I looked at the Id and saw that it was Karen.I picked it up with brief hi.

"Hello Rayla."My skin crawled when the voice hit my ears.

"Why are you calling EF?"I growled.

"My name is Sam darlin."

"What do you want?"I hissed at the taunting tone.

"I want to crave up your pretty face and drink you until your nothing but bones."

"Really well one well placed bullet should stop you."

"Like a bullet can kill me."

"No, but it can kill me."I said, dead serious.I'd rather kill myself then be under his power.

"Hmm, well if your dead whose gonna save this dear old hag?"I bit my lip prevent my curse.

"Let her go."I snarled.

"I want something.At the Annual Halloween Ball the security is going to be relaxed in the mansion.Get it then."

"What thing?"I growled, faintly hearing a female sob in the background.

"A 7 carot uncut sapphire."Then sobbing started escalating into panicked cries.

"Fine."

"And if you fail or tell anyone about our 'arrangment' I will make this hag wish she never met you.But either way I will still kill you."I hung up cutting off the beginings of a terrorfied scream.

I just sat there in silence for a moment, absorbing what just happened.Evil Fucko, now known as Sam, had Karen.I stared out at the sky through my window.

"I'm sorry Karen."A single tear rolled down my cheek.
