Author’s notes: This is set after obsidian butterfly.Sociopaths and Serial KillersBy: Montana[][][]::::

::::[][][] The place was at the Circus of the Damned. The time wassometime after 9:00. And the mood: I was pissed. I sat on thecouch in Jean-Claude’s living room, at the far end. As far awayas I could get from the vampire sitting at the end of the couch,and the werewolf sitting on floor in front of me.

“But Anita--”

“But ma petite--” “NO! The answer is no. No. No. No.” “Anita,” Jean-Claude used my first name, I was in troublenow. “If you do not take the fourth mark, if we do not marry themarks, we all will be in great danger.” “What else is new? There’s always something trying to killus. So far we’ve come out all right. I don’t know why that wouldchange.” “You never know, Anita. What about in Albuquerque? Youalmost died,” said Richard.“But I didn’t. In fact, I kicked that monster’s ass prettysufficiently.” “With our help,” said Jean-Claude. “You guys helped me heal. Great. I boost your power.Great. We don’t have to take it any further.” “But think of the advantages, ma petite. We all will gain somuch power. You will be able to sustain even more damage thanalready. You will have eternal life!”

“I don’t want eternal life! I don’t want to live forever! Iwant to hold on to as much humanity as I can!” Jean-Claude sighed, covering his eyes with one hand, andslouching back on the couch. “Then what do you want, mapetite? I think we can offer you anything you could possiblywant. Do you want the high life? Sophistication, expensivedinners, the ballet, silk, and fantastic sex? That I can give you.Or do you want a white picket fence, with two point whateverchildren, a dog in the yard and a garden in the back? This issomething Richard can give you. Or we can give you both,whatever you desire.” Both the vampire and the werewolf looked at me inearnest. I frowned. “I don’t think you guys are listening to me. Idon’t want either of those. I don’t want to do this. Quite frankly,I just want to be left alone.” “We cannot do that, ma petite.” “I bet you can.” With that last remark, I stood from myseat, and headed for the door. Suddenly two hands restrainedme on both of my wrists. One was cold as the grave, and theother was all hot electricity. “Let me go.” My tone was empty,calm, cold. I had gone to my killing place. I felt nothing. Jean-Claude released me. Richard, however, was not so smart. Hedrew me to him. I let him, and with my other free hand, I drewthe browning. Richard pulled me to his chest, and was surprisedwhen he felt the cold metal of the barrel of my gun pressedagainst his abdomen. “Let me go, Richard.” He did, no arguing. Ibacked out of the room, eyes trained on the vampire and thewerewolf, but gun trained on the ground. When I reached thedoor, I turned and fled up the stairs, into the parking lot, intothe jeep, and away from the Circus.*** I pulled into the driveway, and shut the engine off. I sat therefor a few moments with a sigh. Could my personal life get anymore complicated? I would un-complicate it. I was seriouslyconsidering breaking it off with both of “the boys.” Thefrustration just didn’t seem to be worth it anymore. I got out of

the car, and walked into the house after unlocking it. Coffee. Ineeded coffee. I immediately started up the coffee machine assoon as I walked into the kitchen. After I poured myself a cup,the damn phone rang. “Hello?” I almost growled into the receiver. “Hi Anita.” I mentally sighed, and rolled my eyes. “What do you want,Richard?” “We need to talk.” “No, we don’t! The fucking answer is no!” “You can’t just cut us off like this Anita! You need us!”Richard was angry too. Goody. “I am just beginning to realize I need you two like I need ahole in the head. In fact, I don’t want either of you at all. Andyou can pass the message on to the vampire.” With that, I hungup. I tossed my empty coffee cup into the sink. I leanedagainst the counter, trying not to see red. But I should behappy, shouldn’t I? Things would be a lot less complicated now.“Very good, Anita.” The Browining Hi-power materialized in my hand, pointedin the direction of the voice I knew all too well. [][][]::::

::::[][][] “And what the hell do you think you’re doing, Olaf?” Olaf leaned on the doorjam leading into the kitchennonchalantly, all seven feet of him clad in black. “The gun is notnecessary, Anita. I am just here for a visit.” However, the gundid not waver. “Very well, do as you wish.”
