.“No more alcohol tonight.Fuck, this town sucks.”“Then why did you come back?”A bolt of lightning spread across the sky, and Ethan’s ice blue eyes flashed with it.“None of your fucking business.”Oh good, I’d hit a nerve.“Did your mortal come to his senses and kick you to the kerb?” His lips moved, but the words were drowned in a crash of thunder.Before I realised he was even coming at me, he had me pinned to the ground.He was obviously pissed, but I was too drunk to even try to understand why.He swung at me, and pain exploded in the right side of my face as his fist connected with it.I shoved up as hard as I could, managing to knock him off balance.I jumped on him, my hands closing around his throat.“You asshole,” I screamed.I lifted his head up, slamming it into the ground.My knees were on either side of his hips as I tried to keep my balance over him.Lightning flashed again, and I felt it surge through my entire body.As my skin burned with heat, I fell off of Ethan, panting on the ground next to him.I looked over to find him trying to catch his breath as well.He looked pretty good for having just been struck by lightning.His eyes were wide, shining in the light from the lampposts overhead, but his skin looked smooth and soft, and his hair was still the shiny jet black it had been since the day I’d met him.I watched a trickle of sweat roll from behind his ear down his neck and tried to figure out why he was suddenly so fascinating.The longer I looked at him the more I wanted to reach out and touch him.Before I could move, his hand found mine.As soon as our fingers intertwined, I started to feel better.My head began to clear and the burning sensation on my skin lessened.“What the hell was that?” he asked, his voice breathy.“I think we might have been struck by that lightning.” I felt slightly superior that my voice sounded stronger than his.Of course, I had been choking him when we’d been hit, but I still felt good about it.Ethan let go of my hand, and I my stomach rolled.I managed to get to my knees before I started heaving.After a minute, I heard Ethan vomiting as well.We must have looked excellent, two drunk, electrocuted vampires puking their guts up in the park.How proud my Gran would be of me.Thinking about my Gran, who was High Priestess for the Anaboris Clan, made me begin to think that maybe something else had just happened to us, not necessarily electrocution.I thought about it for a second then threw up again.Ethan seemed to have gotten himself composed and had come over to check on me.“You okay?”I shot him a dirty look, which he chose to ignore.He put his hand on my shoulder and the world stopped spinning.I let him help me to my feet and stared at him.Something strange was definitely going on, but I wasn’t sure what.“Let go of me,” I said.“Dude, I just wanted to help.”“No, I mean thanks.But I want to see something.Please.” I had to force out the please, but I really wasn’t trying to be rude.He moved away, and the nausea hit me again.He must have felt it, too, because he groaned and leaned against a tree for support.Our eyes met and I was sure the fear in his would be reflected in mine.His touch really was making my world steady, and I had to assume that he had noticed it.But I didn’t know what it meant.At that moment, the sky opened and rain poured down on us.The water felt wonderful on my skin, as it had started burning when Ethan had moved away.I raised my face to it, letting it wash over me for a moment.I was still drunk, but the combination of fear and water helped to clear my head—at least, enough to realise that something about this wasn’t right.Ethan stumbled back over to me, gripping my hand tightly, and that did even more to help me think.I looked up at him, he wasn’t much taller than me, just a few inches, but it was enough of a difference that he got to feel superior about it every chance he could.But he didn’t look superior at the moment.He looked lost, and confused, and maybe even a little pained.In the twenty years I had known Ethan, I’d never seen him look so unsure of anything before.It scared me almost as badly as the thought that if I stood on my toes I would be tall enough to kiss him.“Ethan, I need you to stay calm for me, okay? You look like a scared rabbit about to bolt.”Some anger seeped into his eyes, and I was glad for it.That I could handle.“I am not scared, you stupid fuck.” Good, much better.“Okay.” I took a deep breath.“We need to make sure we’re all right.If we really were struck by lightning, we need to get help.” I didn’t add that I wanted to also find out why I suddenly wanted to touch him, to grab him and never let him go.That was scarier than the thought that we had just been electrocuted [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
