The party at Diane's house was taking a turn to the supernatural. It was a medley of vampires, human vampires, and humans.
Linda looked around the
room but couldn’t find the elders anywhere. They’d disappeared without her even
noticing. They seemed too eager to leave the tense scene being played out between
vampire and human, preferring to remain in the background. She couldn’t
understand how the elders had been fooled by two of their own; they must have
remained hidden too long on their mountain—missing all the important signs of
trouble happening all around them.
Todd led her over to a quiet corner. “Please
return to the dance floor with me.”
The humans and human
vampires returned downstairs to join the remaining dancers. This time as Mike
and David approached women to dance; they seemed more hesitant and wary over
their choices. They were actually treating their dance partners as lab
specimens, realized Linda, eyeing them as they held them away from their
bodies. They most probably were afraid of
being bitten by these beautiful creatures.
As she spun around the
room with Todd, Linda searched for the other human vampires from town. If they
were really on Todd’s side, then where were they? She wasn’t going to say
anything to him about them; he had enough to worry about without her raising
additional concerns. And what was a human
vampire, anyway? Were they any better than regular vampires? According to
Todd, human vampires were still human.
She was tired of worrying
about the town and its strange inhabitants. She said to Todd, “For just a
moment
I’d like to believe that this evening is magical and beautiful— all
that I’d imagined for tonight.” She leaned her head against his shoulder and
sighed.
