Frank woke up early that morning and smiled to himself. It was a sunny day, there was music festival in town and he was going to see all his friends. Most importantly of all, he was going to see Gerard. Of course, the other guys would be there too, Ray, Bob and Frank’s best friend, Mikey (who was actually Gerard’s younger brother), but it was just so much better knowing that Gerard was going to be there. This was why Frankie was up so much earlier than usual today, he wanted to make sure that he was ready in time, so that he looked good, and so that he wouldn’t be late.

Normal people would get on an air plane to get from one country to another, or over long distances, but I have my very own private flyer; Air Vampire: The bloodiest ride you'll ever have. I never knew Mark could fly, let alone in a human form, but it turns out 'Special Ability' vampires don’t have the ability to change into bats, so Victor and William could, I guessed.

You will be a predator, swift and lethal.” Nina ruffled Viv’s hair.
Viv looked over at a woman who was crouched in the grass a ways away. She was wa
Brianna and Avery had grown bored of watching Vaughan sit in his metallic cell, so Avery brought down a glass chess set, clear glass was black, frosted glass was white. Naturally, Brianna won white. She smiled and they set up the board in less than two seconds. Any human watching them play chess would have gawked, their moves were a blur with the glass pieces clicking faintly, and games were over in about a minute.

#15: Seeking Solace
At first, they were strangers. Never speaking, barely sparing glances. For years it continued this way. Everyday, he would glance over his shoulder, finding the redhead several paces behind. It was something he took comfort in. A source of solace from sight alone.
But suddenly everything was falling apart. Words he never meant to speak slipped out, and he found that sight wasn't solace enough. And one day, when he was on the border of breaking down, he turned, seeking a new solace.
