“Hannah. Hannah speak to me. What have you done to her? Is that how you plan to get her to go with you? You use your tricks. Does she know what kind of life she will have with you?” Justin said.
“Does she know what you are and the life you will give her?” Jovani questioned.
The elevator opened and out stepped Mrs. Kellerman. “There you are, Mr. Nightingale.”
“Is that what you call yourself now?” Justin asked his eyes narrowed and focused on Jovani and never wavering.
“Your problem is you’ve outlived your kind,” Jovani said to Justin his voice deepening and his tone dark. He waved his hand and Mrs. Kellerman stilled, suspended in time, her mouth open, her eyes wide looking at them but not seeing or hearing anything.
“Your problem is you are too arrogant, Jovani Nightingale. You walk only at night,” Justin added with a slight raise of his lips.
“I Am the Night,” Jovani said. He straightened his shoulders and raised his head with a gesture of defiance. “I command all that walks day or night,” he said impatient and final. “You are but a mortal.”
Jovani’s blue eyes changing to fiery red with anger, his silky dark eyelashes fluttering trying to hold back his transformation, and his dark eyebrows meeting downward into to a V. He had one hand on Hannah’s chest, as she stood in limbo as the two verbally lashed out at each other, knowing this wasn’t the time or the place for a confrontation.
“I am day and night and you are wrong. You are not my master,” Justin said with a sly grin. “Your weakness is day and you need Hannah to continue your reign. To produce children those many vampire females you’ve turned under your control can’t. She’s human and I will prevail.”
“Your weakness is that you talk too much,” Jovani said meeting Justin’s eyes as he raised his free hand and wrapped it around Justin’s neck. Giving him a peek into the very nature of his being with his long deadly fangs extending ready to end the conversation for once and for all.
“Take a look at what I can give Hannah that you cannot. She loves me. And she’s willing to follow me anywhere and bear my children,” Jovani said.
Peering into Hannah’s mind through Jovani, Justin felt and saw her overpowering desire for that nightwalker, that vampire.
Justin glared at Jovani, his eyes changing, his body shifting showing no fear. And ready to fight for the soul of Hannah. Now it was up to Justin whether he could meet Jovani’s challenge.
