Necro in the hole," Jim called from above. I looked up in time to see Ghastek falling out of the ceiling. Curran caught him. "This is ridiculous" Ghastek said.

The vampire stared at me, his mouth slack as Ghastek assessed his options. I took a couple of forms from my desk, put them into the vamp's mouth, and pulled them up by their edges. "What are you doing?" Ghastek asked. "My hole puncher broke." "You have no respect for the undead.

Kate. Your ability to remain alive never ceases to amaze me.

I stepped into the water, slipped, and landed on my butt. Why me?

The vampire scuttled past me, throwing a look over its shoulder. "As always, a picture of refined grace."

"Shut up."

My boots were full of tortoise throat spit.

The vamp took a step and vanished under the water.

I scrambled to my feet.

The vamp's head reappeared. "A bit deep through there," Ghastek warned.

Ha! Served him right.

"No need for alarm," Ghastek said. "He's quite docile."

The vampire slunk from the path, arched its back, and brushed against my let.

It took every shred of nerve not to recoil. "If you do that again, I'll kill it."

Kate: Ghastek?

Ghastek: Just a second.

Kate: Are you losing your grip on him?

Ghastek: What? Whatever led you to that conclusion?

Kate: You froze.

Ghastek: If you must know, an apprentice brought me my espresso and I burned my tongue on it.

"People view us and our vampires as abominations." Ghastek said. "They call the undead inhuman, not realizing the irony: only humans are capable of inhumanity. Four thousand years of technology, with magic shrinking to a mere trickle before the Shift, yet the world was just evil then as it is now. It's not vampire or werewolves who committed the worst atrocities, but average people. They are the serial killers, the child rapists, the inquisitors, the witch hunters, the perpetrators of monstrous deeds. The shackles on my wall are the symbol of humanity's capacity for cruelty. I keep them to remind myself that I must fear those who fear me."
