Chapter 5

The four of them sat in the back room of The Haven…it was a very cool and damp room; walls make of stone vines starting to grow in the cracks…This part of the club was under ground…and for the most part a secret. There was even a secret entrance. I’ll be back Leila hissed at her lover, and he simply nodded at her. She walked over to the supposed bookshelf and pulled the book with the title Kiss of Blood. The bookshelf twisted side ways showing a walkway in the walls…Leila walked though and headed down the corridor…she was nearly to the door when she stopped. What is that I hear? She asked aloud. Could it be the sound of a spider’s spinnerets at work…? Then she reached up and snatched the black spider…and popped it in her mouth like a bite size candy…Then continued on her walk.

Once outside she looked for a few beautiful girls…She had a thing for beauties. She stood outside for a few minutes keeping herself hid in the shadows; then when she saw a girl dressed in tight faded jeans, and a very revealing peasant shirt she stepped out of the darkness. The girl jumped when she saw her. Sorry didn’t mean to scare you. Leila said as she studied her porcelain like face, soft brown eyes, and flowing blond hair.

“You’re in that band right? The girl asked, Ironic Justice? Leila could hear her heart beat pick up.

“Yeah. She said with a smile, Would you like to meet the rest of the band? She asked sincerely.

“Ooh this is so cool! She said, Wait until I tell my friends about this. As she followed Leila

“We have to take this way in, cause of me being in the band and all I don’t want to put up with everyone before I go on. She said as she lit a torch for the girl to see. You understand.”

When they got back to the room, it was about time to go on What took so long? Kadin asked impatiently

“I should have known better sending you! Tariq said unsatisfied I should really hunt for myself, you’re lucky I am so weak, Leila.”

“Hunt? The girl asked in a whisper…her eyes were big. She looked like an animal in the road that sees the car before it is turned into road pizza. What’s going on? She cried

“You’re about to be kissed by a vampire Tariq said, How do you feel?”

“You know honey you should really calm down…I would hate for your heart to burst in your chest. Harnati said as she looked at her

Tariq took her gently into his muscular arms, pulling her close to him, almost as if they were lovers about to kiss. His eyes glowed light blue as he kissed her luscious lips…Then he grabbed a handful of her hair with his left hand and jerked her head over hard, bearing her neck to him…saliva beginning to form at the corners of his mouth. He bit downs hard on to her jugular. Warm explosion into his mouth…the purest taste ever known. The taste of life Just then Ezekiel walked in…when he saw them him made a sickening face and asked, You guys ready?”

“We’re coming. Tariq said as he let the girl lose…she fell limp to the ground. A little blood still ran from the corners of his mouth…the secret to realistic make-up. As they all walked towards the stage Tariq stopped Ezekiel and said, Don’t let her leave here tonight…Kadin and I were talking before I dropped to my knees…There is someone or thing looking for her, and she is also in search of someone. It’s another female, but I kinda want to say it is a sister. He sighed, I don’t want to bring any trouble to you, my friend…but if something went down at least if it happened here we could just walk off the stage, instead of disappearing.”

“I can’t make her stay. He replied sadly

“Don’t sound so sad Tariq said, You should talk to her if you like her so much. Then he ran to the stage

Hala’s eyes met with Tariq’s this time, and she knew she had something to do with what had happened to him.

“We have a new song for you tonight…like always right! Tariq yelled, This song is different though…we just came up with it last night. He smiled as he looked out into the crowd. He felt like a god when he was on stage. And his fans where his to command…especially the three guys setting at the bar…Isaac, Uzi, and Malachi. Kiss of purity! He shouted
