like that!”
     

     
    Serena smiled as the convertible came to a stop on the side of the road that bordered the woods, and Axle looked over at her once more to flash her a grin of his own.
    “Thanks for coming today, Serena… and for being so understanding. You have no idea what a relief that represents for all of us.”
    “Yea, well, you were just lucky to catch me on one of the few nights when I’m not hungry for the flesh of innocence, I guess.” Serena sighed and looked off towards the woods; towards the Vail’s hidden headquarters, “I want to help you—all of you, I mean—and I think I know how to do it, but it’s going to be your turn to trust me, okay?”
    “You don’t need to get involved like that. Just help us by keeping this a secret. Please,” Axle bit, taking her hand in his and Serena blushed, feeling the tingling warmth his hand held.
    “Keeping what a secret, Serena?” Zoey stepped out of the darkness and approached the car.
    “Zoey…” Serena sighed, “I figured you’d start looking for me sooner or later.”
    “Serena! He’s the one we’ve been tasked with arresting ! You can’t just be having a moonlight drive with him!” Zoey frowned.
    Stepping out of the car, Serena extended a psychic Just go. I’ll handle this and meet up with you later, to Axle. No sooner had she shut the door behind her then Axle had peeled off, leaving a wide-eyed Zoey to watch the taillights grow smaller with distance.
    No dawdling or hesitation. Exactly what Serena had been hoping for.
    “No!” Zoey threw her aura out in an attempt to stop the car, only to have Serena deflect it with her own.
    “What are you…?” Zoey glared over at Serena once more and finally let out a long sigh, “I know that you miss Zane, but we can’t have your wild side coming back out like this.”
    “I know that, Zoey. I do! I just…” Serena bit her lip and shook her head, “Do you trust me?”
    Zoey frowned, looking back towards where the last of Axle’s taillights had been seen. “I…” She sighed and stomped her foot, “Dammit, Serena! You know I do,” she growled and shook her head, “I don’t always understand you, but I do trust you. We just don’t want to cause anymore trouble for our clan.”
    “Of course not! And that’s one of the things I’m working towards, but I need you to let me—and me alone —deal with this Axle situation, okay? This could be big—very big!—for all of us!”
    Zoey looked over quizzically, “Should I be worried?”
    Serena laughed, “When should you not be worried. By the way, I’m giving you tomorrow off.”
    “Huh? What for?” She frowned, looking over and bit her lip.
    “Well, I couldn’t help but notice that you’ve been, well, walking straight and all. Which can only mean that Isaac and you haven’t had nearly enough alone time lately and your lovey-dovey stares in the clan are getting old!” Serena smirked, “Go have some fun tomorrow and don’t come back ‘til you and Isaac’s horse-dick are both in wheelchairs, okay?”
    Zoey sighed, “You know, all this teasing about Isaac’s—”
    “Zoey… are you about to try and tell me that your boyfriend doesn’t have a monster in his pants?” Serena cocked her head to one side.
    Blushing, Zoey stammered for a moment before finally grumbling and offering a nod.
    “Exactly!” Serena patted her friend on the shoulder, “And while I’m dying to know how Isaac’s gone this long without splitting you up the middle like a piece of firewood—I’m sure your vagina is like some sort of dimensional gateway, right? Like, a doorway to a new world where you can just store untold lengths of heaving, throbbing—”
    “Serena!” Zoey’s face was beet red.
    “You know, for somebody dating a guy who could put Tommy Lee to shame you’re awful bashful. You should work on that. In fact, those are your only two jobs tomorrow: not turning into a blushing schoolgirl at the mere mention of hefty spurting cocks,
