They Come by Night

Imagine an earth just a bit different from ours. In this world normals unknowingly share the planet with all manner of beings, including vampyres, most of whom rely on bagged blood, which is supplemented by the blood of sabors, valued individuals whose blood contains an element necessary for the survival of the species.<br><br>Tyrell Small has always felt different. He just never knew how different. On his sixteenth birthday, his father reveals Ty is one such sabor, with the birthmark to prove it. Upon learning he’ll be required to feed vampyres, Ty decides he’s not having any of that. He’ll run away and make his own destiny. Slipping out his second story bedroom window, he finds Adam Dasani, the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen, waiting for him on the roof.<br><br>Adam is reluctant to distress the young sabor about to slide down the drainpipe, but he’s one of the vampyres Ty will one day feed. Equerry to the vampyre king, Adam had been given the task of guarding Ty on the day he was born. Because the blood of the two most powerful saborese families in the shared history of vampyres and sabors runs through Ty’s veins, some vampyres will do anything to obtain him for themselves. It will be up to Adam to keep Ty safe, not only from those rogue vampyres but from others who have plans of their own for him.<br><br>Everyone keeps telling Ty he can’t escape his destiny, but he has no intention of sitting around twiddling his thumbs, waiting for life to catch up with him. However, will something Adam inadvertently said give Ty a way to live the life he wants and keep those he loves -- including Adam -- out of danger?

Chapter 120

“Uh…yes. But he wants me home.”

She nodded. “In that case, we’d better go.” She handed me the backpack. The chair legs scraped the floor as she pushed it back and rose. A couple of the diners turned to watch us as we walked to the counter.

I wouldn’t let myself falter to a halt, but I asked out of the corner of my mouth, “Are they…?”

She shook her head, and I blew out a breath. Geez, I was becoming paranoid.

The woman came over to us. “Problem, kids?”

“I’m sorry, we need to be on our way. Could we have our order to go?”

“Sure thing. I’ll tell Cliff to hurry it up.”

“Thanks, we appreciate it. How much do we owe you?” I took out my credit card again and handed it to her.

Spending the day at the beach left me as parched as Death Valley, and as we walked to the car, I sucked up some soda from the cup I held.

I pressed the button on the remote that unlocked the car’s doors. “Put the food on the backseat, okay?” I placed the cup on the roof of the car.
