Chapter 2

“This goes out to all non mortals in Tempest City…Hala Tramayne is no longer one of us. She is not to know anything about us…As far as she knows there is no such thing as vampires, were wolves, demons, or anything else for that matter. Aden said in all of their minds.

Quayd shook his head. He did not need to hear Aden telling him to know Hala was no longer a vampire. He felt it when it happened; it was as if a peace of him disappeared. What will happen to Tempest City now? He asked himself as he headed straight to November-Eve’s place.

When he walked in, she smiled at him then said, I have been expecting you.”

“I know. He replied as he pulled up a chair to her table. What is going to happen? He asked with worry in his voice.

“Quayd aren’t you the one that told Hala not to hold on to human emotion? She asked as she raised an eyebrow at him. He began to answer her but she stopped him, Don’t speak I know. She paused to take a drag off her cigarette. Quayd, everyone needs a hero.”

“Ok and what is that supposed to mean? He asked

“I think you know She replied, Like I have said before you and Hala were destine to meet. You belong together.”

“But Aden said she isn’t to know about the dark world any more. He said angrily

“That is true; he did say that. But honestly Quayd do you think he would want to see harm come to Hala? She asked

“Harm? What harm? He asked

“Calm child…and listen very carefully to me. She said in a soothing voice. You and Hala have been in many lives together…and weather or not she would believe such a thing now doesn't make it not true. It was her choice to become human again In addition, because of that, she has sealed her fait. No matter how many times you save her, no matter how close you watch her, you can’t stop what is going to happen.”

“Then what is the point? He asked in a hopeless tone

“Love…Quayd. It is in your nature; you can’t help but save her. November-Eve replied

“But now that she is human again…I mean…she doesn’t even know me…or remember anything of me and her being together. She doesn’t even remember that she use to love me. He replied, as his anger grew more.

“Don’t doubt the power of love. She said Her soul will know you…it always does. She paused and looked at the clock. You need to go now.”

“I was going to go to Black Dragon…but I don’t think I can face her yet. He replied

“Soon very soon. She said

The next thing Quayd knew he was outside setting on the sidewalk in front of Black Dragon. He turned with a jump when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He did not have to turn around to know it was her. Are you ok? She asked

“Yeah He replied, You better get in there you are late for work.”

“Excuse me? She gasped, How did you know I was late?”

He turned to her, Lucky guess. He replied as she looked at him strangely, then she turned and walked in.

After Hala was inside the silver wolf walked over to Quayd and transformed into human form. Quayd I see you’ve found her again. He said in a cold tone, Word has it you had her, but you’ve seem to have lost her…and she doesn’t even remember you. He laughed

“Jonathan, is that the only reason that brings you to town? He asked

“Oh come now…you can’t still be sore with me. He replied, We’re old friends…face it Quayd I am the only friend you’ve got.”

“You’re not a friend of mine. He replied, You have only come here to cause me more trouble than you are worth.”

“On the contrary, I have come here to make peace with you. He said, I came to ask you to rejoin with me…think of the possibilities.”

Quayd glared up at him and replied, I would never join you again.the possibilities! You mean a blood bath”

“You know you want too…it is in your nature. He said, Blood is your life!”

Anger and fire burned in Quayd’s eyes, You’re not going to do this again.”

“You know me very well…I love a challenge. He said, See ya round buddy.”

“Leave her out of this! He yelled as Jonathan made his way into the club.
