Scarlett wasn't sure what to make of the whole situation. As a soldier for the Vampire Nation she'd worked beside many vampires over the years. More recently it had been humans...and other awakened beings.? There was also the distinct possibility this was Tempest; part of her plot to destroy Scarlett by getting her to murder the new prince, thus marking her for death. Not Tempest's typical approach. She figured her former mistress would want to personally inflict as much suffering on Scarlett as she could before she ended her life. Tempest was her problem and as nice as it would be to have her taken out of the picture, she wasn't going to kill the prince to make that happen. She needed to somehow turn this around to her advantage. She hastily hatched a plan and spoke. "I'm intrigued. Having Tempest removed from the equation would be beneficial," Scarlett said. "However, this is not a decision I'm prepared to make tonight. Call me back at nightfall tomorrow and I will have an answer for you." WIthout allowing a reply, Scarlett ended the call. She turned off the phone so the caller could not immediately call back, nor would anyone be able to track her movements. To make sure of that, she reached into a saddlebag on the bike and pulled out a Faraday shield -- a bag for her cellphone that blocked the signal she used to make sure she couldn't be tracked -- and she put it away. Afterwards, she fired up the bike and checked the time. There were a few short hours of darkness left. Reasonably, she needed to head for home, but she wanted to give a warning to the new prince. Hopefully, the Midnight Society would allow her to spend her daylight hours inside their walls. If not, she knew of a couple of motels nearby where she could hole up while the sun was out...not ideal, but an acceptable option. Scarlett then drove the motorcycle across town on her way to the Midnight Society...

"Guess that makes sense, that you would want to be far from the tourists when you live in such a place. No, sillies. This is simply a secluded beach. No one owns it, except maybe the locals. There are only a few people who vacation here who know about it." Carmen said as the limo door was open and the driver helped them all out. He retrieved their belongings from the trunk. "Will there be anything else, ma'am?" He asked Carmen. She looked around, "just be back in about 4 hours to take us back to the hotel."

Scarlett scowled slightly. Obviously, someone misunderstood her methods and motivations.?
?
She may have killed fellow vampire Wolfram as vengeance for the death of her beloved more than 150 years ago, and for Turning her against her will. Scarlett had narrowly avoided execution for that crime and was fortunate only to be exiled. Killing the newly awakened prince, if she was even successful, would put a death mark on her head for the rest of her life -- however short that would be. Retaliation would be swift and agonizing.
?
She had carried out assassinations many years earlier for the Vampire Nation, humans mostly...occasionally a werewolf or other creature who was conspiring against vampires. She had been out of that business since she was exiled. Her work since had mostly been as an investigator working for vampire and human clients, some occasional bodyguard work and more rarely as a mercenary soldier. Never as an assassin.
?
"You must think me a fool?" the redhead replied. "Killing the prince would mean certain death...but not until I was made to suffer greatly for my actions. Besides, I have have no reason to hate or kill the prince. I am not interested. Furthermore, you'd better hope I don't learn who you are because I would be happy to kill you for making such a move against the prince."

Once Ari was out of the office she called down to the prison and gave the orders for Eli. She was to be left in the dark and not provided blood.

Bracing himself, he opened the door, willing his taloned fingers to turn the handle slowly and carefully so as not to break it.? The feeling of familiarity grew as the room beyond became visible, lit by the light of the glowing wisp.
