Waste not, want not, I thought to myself.I decided not to tell Haley about the switcheroo. She hated having Mindy here too, but I figured she wouldn't...go for something like this; better to save my favorite cousin the guilt. If all went well, Mindy would be pregnant, disgraced, and gone within a couple of months.---The next Friday night we had another "study session." It went a lot like the previous week, but Mindy had been taking the "tingle pills" for a week and had been drinking more this. So I supposed I would be driving to the highway service road the next couple of days. At least for breakfast.There was also a nice steakhouse in the parking lot of the Embassy. After my last experience with steak, I decided to pass on the steak. The mother of the college boy hadn't come to work. It was obvious she worked the lunch and dinner shifts.After breakfast I drove the block to the docks and found a fisherman who hadn't left. The men were storing ice in the hold of a tug boat looking. You will fail!” I looked down at it and sheathed my sword and said in a soft voice, “LOVE IS THE ENDING.” With that it burst into ash and vanished, the darkness lifted with it, Sarah back off, then a white light similar to the darkness surround us, then a deep voice said, “Yes Sarah? Why are you calling me….oh, it seems he is also there, let me guess it has finally happened?” Sarah said in an angry voice, “You knew wall along didn’t you? That he was the chosen one? Whats going on?” I looked. “Sounds like he could use a drink.”“Agreed. But alas, he is Kindred. What he could use, is a Kiss.” Antoinette grinned down at the little creature. “Now come. We will prepare you.”“Prepare?”“Indeed.”“Jack, my love.” Antoinette smiled at the man as she stepped into the room, her hands on the thrall’s shoulders in front of her. He yet sat within the large red chair in the corner of the room, a lamp on the nightstand beside him casting him in a powerful contrast. If he had been reading Edgar Allen.
