slowly and carefully
to protect the girl from harm. The Vampires couldn't even be fought
functionally by people like them. You just had to pray you could either talk
your way out of things or hope someone else would come around that could save
you. They just moved too fast.
     Zack could have beaten them all in a fight, too. Even if the
Alede had turned on their full charm all at once. Well, he couldn't take them
in a fair fight, but in a fight to the death? She'd seen him take out Vampires without even blinking. Literally just making their heads fall off with a look.
Once she'd seen him do that to three Vampires at once and he hadn't even
been looking.
    Of course she couldn't share this with Don at the moment, so
she gave him a mildly sweaty hug instead, which caused him to pull away as he
got aroused. A natural reaction on his part, after all she had to be
pouring pheromones out of her system at the moment. Given who he hung around
with, he probably would have been all right, having learned that the others and
by extension her, wouldn't mind at all, but in a public place, wearing sweat
pants, he started showing a lot more than he would have in jeans. A slightly
panicked look came into his eyes.
    No one had noticed yet, except for the Alede, of course and
the girl finishing up her Yoga routine. She winked at him, smiled alluringly
and looked away. Kate tossed him her gym bag and asked him to carry it for her.
He nodded and walked her back to her dorm room with the others, even though
none of them were in the same building she was.
    Blaine marveled at her room nearly as much as Britney had,
and did it again when she gave them all some of the juice that Merri had sent
along for her.
    “That's it Britney... I'm leaving the family and getting
myself adopted by the Swanson's instead. Or at least, well prostituting myself
out to them wouldn't work, being family and all. I know, I'll trade you guys Donald here for an unlimited supply of that juice!” He pushed Don closer to her
playfully, making everyone chuckle a bit.
    “I'll see what I can arrange... still, I don't think Don is yours to trade, even if you are his roommate. Besides, my mom would flip if I
started trafficking in people and the others would have my head,
possibly literally. I'll check with Merri about the juice though. She's really nice. I think you'll all like her when you get a chance to meet.”
    Britney turned then to her favorite topic, which turned out
to be Hartley. She'd told Don all about the character it seemed, Blaine nodding
along, since he'd obviously heard it all before himself, but knew enough not to
try and stop her, since even getting a word in edgewise suddenly became
difficult.
    “And everyone loves Hartley, except for the people that keep
trying to kill him, you know? Lots of people even try to send him new wives and
stuff, but he always says no, because he loves his current ones so much. Can
you believe that? They say he's just a regular Human, but that he's really old,
like hundreds of years maybe, but he looks young, like one of us, not all wrinkled
and stuff.” Blaine just smiled when Kaitlyn stiffened. Don nodding along with
the story, not noticing that age reference as meaning anything other than
looking like a college student. It was true as far as that went. Zack could
have walked the campus grounds without anyone even noticing he was there. She
made herself relax, realizing that the worst that could happen here would be
Don thinking his friend had an over active imagination. She didn't. That was
really a Human trait. They could create magical worlds in their heads, she'd
heard. Sometimes even outside of them.
    “He has a lot of women, some of them really hot, Alede, you
know? Succubi? Some of them are more normal looking, like Claire the Vampire,
though she used to do porn, so she might be kind of cute...”
    Kate held her tongue, knowing that Claire hadn't ever been in
porn, even though she had been used in sex shows by the Vampire
