Free Eternal Changes (Mikah) by Tiffany Berry Page A

bent his head exposing the soft flesh of his neck. Her fangs elongated as she delved in. The warm blood gushed into her mouth. Her veins sung as Sasha’s sweet blood rejuvenated her parched cells. She could feel the power build within her as she pulled more into her mouth. Jayde pulled away from him and waved her hand over the small pinpricks. The pinpricks closed and she sent him on his way.
     
    Sasha stumbled over to Christoph and threw an arm over his shoulder. They swerved in and out as they walked out of the alley. Christoph shoved Sasha lightly and their laughter rung through the air as they left the alley.
     
     “Well, I’m sated,” McKaylin purred as she threw her arm around Jayde’s shoulders. “How about we kill the last couple of hours watching vampires fight werewolves?”
     
    “Underworld it is,” Jayde confirmed.
     
    Jayde looked over at her friend and smiled. McKaylin always knew how to put her back in a good mood. The night was turning out better than she’d thought it would.
     

Chapter 7
     
    Deep in the belly of the Alabaster Caverns, Jaymes stirred to life as the sun set.
     
     “Do you think the Dragomir have already located what’s causing the power surges?” Ophelia asked as they left the caverns.
     
    “If they did, one would think they’d stop it so we wouldn’t be able to locate it,” Jaymes responded as they flew up into the night. “We’ll head further east after we’ve finished feeding.”
     
    “I think Tulsa will be a great place to quench our appetites,” Ophelia said as she flew beside him. “It’s the forty-seventh largest city in the United States which means a plethora of food to choose from.”
     
    Jaymes's mouth was almost salivating as hunger made his stomach clench. “Sold,” he hissed as he increased his speed. He could hear Ophelia laughing as she quickly followed him.
     
    They soon arrived at the city. Jaymes took the lead and landed on a roof near the Blue Dome District. The people below had no idea what had just arrived in their city. He dissipated and solidified in a dark corner below. It wasn’t long before Ophelia appeared right beside him.
     
    Jaymes was thoroughly enjoying the nightlife scene he was looking down upon. The streets were flooded with people out looking for a good time.  He could smell the variety of blood he had at his disposal and he grinned at Ophelia.
     
    “Excellent choice,” Jaymes said.
     
    “Bon Appetit,” Ophelia said as she sashayed away from him and blended into the crowd.
     
    Jaymes delved into the streets. He was in the mood for something a little more fun than just an ordinary kill tonight.  His skin itched from the impatience humming within him as he investigated the area. There was nothing here that really piqued his interest. It was time to go exploring elsewhere.
     
    He dissipated and solidified in the sky. Jaymes flew up near the clouds as he looked down below. The lights lit up the city like a well decorated Christmas tree. He flew around anticipating the moment that something or someone would catch his eye. All of a sudden, in the far off distance, he caught the sound of people screaming. He looked towards where the sound was coming from.  That’s when he saw it: a large contraption spinning in the air. Jaymes smiled to himself as he turned and flew that direction. There’s nothing more entertaining than a county fair.
     
    Jaymes landed in the shadows before traipsing onto the fair grounds. He sauntered towards the contraption that was spinning people in what looked like individual cages. There was a line of people waiting to get on. It was then that he heard what it was called: the zipper. 
     
    A woman slid by Jaymes with a seductive smile on her face as she looked over at him. Her daisy duke shorts showed off her trim, too tan legs. Her bleach blonde hair was a stark contrast to the darkness of her skin. Jaymes smiled as he called her over to him.
     
    “Whatcha want sugar,” the woman
