Katelina fumbled in her pockets for a weapon. She found the Ziploc baggy but its contents were useless. Her eyes skipped hopefully to Kai. He clutched the blanket bag and shook his head.
Shit.
Verchiel's gaze was locked with Arlen's, his violet eyes narrowed. "You thought it would be that easy?"
"Yes." The blonde gave a cold smile, then seemed to evaporate.
"Stay together." Verchiel also disappeared. The pair rematerialized inches from Katelina with a clash of steel. She gave a yelp and hopped backwards, dropping the plastic bag in her haste.
The vampires vanished, then reappeared between a pair of sports cars. Katelina's first impulse was to help Verchiel, but she knew better. They were both wind walkersvampires who could move at unimaginable speeds. That was why they seemed to teleport from one spot to another. But it wasn't just velocity. She couldn't hope to match their strength, either. Though it hurt her pride, she and Kai were more liability than ally.
