I run a brush through my messy hair and throw on a black dress, heels, and red lipstick. Lucas and I walk out to his car together, and I magically seal up my house after promising my familiars that I’ll bring them back something to eat.
We have to stop and get gas before making it to the restaurant. None of the pumps are accepting credit cards at the moment, so I go in with Lucas to pay the cashier, wanting to grab a bottle of water. Having Lucas drink my blood makes me constantly thirsty. We get up to the register to pay, and the doors open behind us. The cashier, who’s facing the door, looks up and screams.
Lucas and I whirl around, seeing two men in ski masks come in, guns raised. Lucas tips his head my way, raising one eyebrow in question. I give him a little nod and wiggle my fingers, conjuring a string of magic.
“Put your hands up!” one of the masked men shouts and points his gun at Lucas. The cashier screams again and drops to the floor.
“Ready to have some fun, babe?” Lucas asks, drawing his fangs.
I bring my hand up, holding a bright blue energy ball between my fingers. “Hell yes.”
