Neon green eyes
moved over me and then paused on the arm still behind my back. He sneered and steeped towards me again.
Taking a nice wide
stance, I braced myself for some action and pulled the raptor free. With a very practiced move, I flipped it from
a hidden position to plain sight. I
locked eyes with him. “You. Back off now or I will slice you a whole new
lifestyle.”
He stopped and
there was no mistaking the shock on his face.
I heard a few snickers, but wasn’t about to look away from a pissy male
that had just been put on pause by a woman half his size, even one that was
having a bad day.
“Stand down.” A
voice of definite authority ended all motion and sound in the room.
My glowing
aggressor stepped back and moved aside so I had a clear sight line to the man
behind the desk. Nothing on him was
glowing. To be honest, he was most likely the nicest-looking piece of man I’d
ever seen. The am-I-drooling-on-myself
kind of nice. He had long blonde hair that
made my own look blunt and in need of some serious conditioning therapy. His face was taken right off some Greek god lineage
of masculine beauty and slapped onto what looked like a body to match—at least
the part I could see above the desk.
“Everyone move back
and let our guest have a little breathing room.”
Like soldiers
marching, the six light-radiating beings stepped back as far as furniture and
walls would allow. The Greek Adonis gave
a small nod of approval and then looked at me.
Hazel eyes with long lashes that made me jealous looked at me
patiently. Feeling really awkward, I
slid the blade back into the sheath on my back and stood up straight. Slowly his eyes moved to the only body that
hadn’t moved away from me.
“Quinton, I was
beginning to worry. You’ve been gone
three nights.”
“I was safe
enough.” Again there was barely a trace of the lisp, as if he tried harder to
conceal it then he had with me.
“I don’t doubt it,
but next time call or at least turn on your phone.”
Phone? Music to my ears thank you very much for this
weirdness, now call me a cab.
“Please take a
seat.”
Eyes widening, I
looked back to see him looking at me.
Glancing around at the others, I moved and sat on the edge of a chair
closest to the door, trying to stay at an angle that let me see if one of the
glow-brights made a move toward me.
Quinton came over
and stood behind the chair, his sad eyes conveying he had my back. At this point I’d take what I could get.
The white haired
one moved around to stand behind the desk. He crossed his arms, green eyes
shooting darts at me. One of the others
moved over and stood behind him. He wasn’t as unearthly looking, with a dimmer
shade of blue aura and red eyes.
“She’s looking at
us like she can see us.” One of them
said with fear in his voice.
Were my eyes
supposed to be obscured? I could see
them and I wasn’t sure who but I could definitely smell one of them too and he
was long overdue for a little personal hygiene.
Slowly they moved to stand where I could see them, my first thought
right after you’re screwed was all
those horror movie marathons were coming back to get me. All that was missing at this point was the
screaming damsel —oh wait, I could play that part. I wasn’t much of a screamer and rarely
freaked out, but there’s always a first time.
Glancing around the
room again, hoping I’d missed the flashing exit sign I noticed the looks I was
receiving ranged from shock to disdain.
Except for the cutie behind the desk.
Actually he fit more into the hottie category and leaned heavily to the
sophisticated side of life with the way he just sat there observing everything.
Raising a hand, he
waved off the others from speaking. “Do
you know how you got here?”
Saving the lengthy
explanations on my own personal theories I just shook my head in answer.
“What’s the last
thing you remember?”
He seemed like he
was really trying to help me. I
shrugged. “Not much, I was chasing down
a bounty.”
“You’re a bounty
hunter?”
I nodded and then
froze when there were several gasps and sounds of shock in the room. Quinton sounded like he sighed in relief. I
hoped that meant a bounty hunter was good thing in this place. “Where the hell is this?”
He leaned forward
on the desk and looked like he was trying to think of a way to explain it to
me. “This is Alterealm, which is more or
less the same time, same place as you came from, just a slightly different
reality.” He smirked. “I believe we’re
what nightmares are based on.”
Raising an eyebrow,
I looked around at the guys with their own light systems built in and their
pimped out eyes. “Are you seriously
telling me that all those things that go bump in the night are true?”
The sexy one behind
the desk flashed red eyes and I’m not kidding, fangs at me for a few seconds, just long enough to make sure I
caught it all.
“Proof enough?”
