Linda was hanging over the pool of alligators in Wolf’s
house. Maxell was flaunting her powers. How was Linda going to escape
from this mess?
“We’ll be happy to grant
your dying wish,” Reece said as he appeared with Leanne and Diane.
“Welcome, weak and
spineless vampires. If you kill me, then my hold on the snake will break and this gorgeous reptile will
be free to strangle this stupid human. Whatever he fails to eat, I’m sure the
alligators will be happy to finish off. Everyone will be happy—except of course
for this human.”
Since the elders were
standing in front of Maxell, they had lost any element of surprise. Their only chance was Hayden again. Mike couldn’t understand why the elders weren’t capable of following through with a simple plan. If they had surprised this Maxell vampire, then they would have been
able to overcome her. Now, they had to stand there like idiots, waiting for
Hayden to save the day again.
Todd stared up at Linda. He
wanted to offer her some kind of reassurance that everything would be okay, but
her eyes were fixed on the tank of alligators. He had to do something to help
her; he couldn’t just stand there and watch her die. What could he do? What
powers did he possess that could be used here? He knew that his only true power
was of suggestion. Then an idea came to him.
He turned to face Maxell
and spoke to someone over her shoulder. “You’re back, Wolf. I’d assumed that we’d finally seen the last of
you.”
Maxell spun around and
gawked at Wolf. “How could you possibly be alive? You died in the alligator
pool.”
