Chapter 14: Vampyre Revealed

Liliana's POV

A gull balanced in the breeze, gliding behind the stern of the cabin cruiser running at full throttle. Liliana laughed and tossed pickles from the BLT sandwich pulled from a wicker picnic basket carried onboard by Darick. The midnight boat ride across Buzzard's Bay and through Woods Hole was all part of his romantic travel itinerary.

"My parents brought me here when I was young. It's the last time I ever came to Martha's Vineyard."

"The island has changed considerably over the last hundred years. However, Edgartown still retains the feel of an old whaling village. Just more tourists. Tell me, what do you remember of that visit?"

Searching hard in her memory for details of the trip, nothing much came up. Her parents had been invited to a gathering of an antiquities group. Liliana had spent most of the time playing on the bluffs around the lighthouse at Gay Head.
