Chapter Forty-Four
Chapter
Forty-Four
Human Dante
I watch Meg disappear through the veil. A piece of me
is sorry to see her go. She’s been lovely, and I like her spirit. If she
stayed, I might have been able to love her.
Still, as I pull the vampire computer from my jacket, she
hasn’t left me with nothing to show for my efforts. I stare down at the
computer. I slipped it out of the duffel bag when I gallantly offered to carry
it for Meg. I couldn’t let her take it with her. It’s mine because I was smart
enough to steal it. And she’ll find another one. I have plans for this one.
When Meg suggested I go with her, I didn’t tell her no
because I’m afraid of going to another plane. I’m not afraid of visiting other
places. It just seems silly to waste time when this plane is so ripe for the
conquering.
Why should I settle for being a little fish on a bunch of
planes when I can be a shark on this one?
The computer in my hands is my ticket to the big time.
I leave the building, my mind racing with plans.
