Keira laughed at the prospect of meeting anyone in the club. Amelia had not yet seen how easily she biffed conversations with guys, but she soon would! Intoxication always made her overeager, so even if she could approach someone and ask them to dance effectively, she would eventually end up frightening them off by talking too much. She always discussed astronomy or comic books at length, and honestly...No one gave a crap about those things.

Keira ordered a Tequila Sunrise from the bartender and then quickly deposited the cherry that came with it into her mouth. She didn't bother spitting out the stem and just ate it, too. It tasted the same anyways! Something about tequila always loosened her up. She hated straight tequila, but mixed into things it was like her happy liquor. The drink disappeared far quicker than it should have... And, as a result, the effects of the alcohol did not take long to manifest.

“Why are you still SITTING?!” Keira demanded, grabbing her roommate's arm and pulling her in the direction of the dance floor. “We came here ta dance, so lesss daaance!” Once they arrived at the edge of the floor, the crazy female began flailing her limbs wildly in every direction. Her coordination did not seem to be very good.

Ivan almost laughed at the mention of the girl's size. He was a full foot taller than her, never mind his age and combat prowess! “Really...? A tiny human doll seeks to do battle with multicentury-old vampires? She is either insane or knows something that we do not. Perhaps she is a rogue witch or some other type of supernatural being. Looks can be deceiving...You know that as well as I.” Witches could be troublesome to vampires...They were not as frail as humans by any stretch of the imagination. Ivan recalled some previous run-ins with their kind over the years and they had never ended prettily.

The journey to Club 21 was not long not by the ancient's standards—had he been moving at full celerity it would have taken about five minutes to get there from home...The equivalent of a slow car ride. He soon stood before the establishment and doused his cigarette in an ashtray situated in front of the entrance. “Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Nikolov. I hope the roommate will not prove too burdensome for you. You have my leave to do whatever you wish with her.”

The bouncer did not stop the two men at the door as he did many of the other patrons. The commanding presence of the two rendered the enormous, oafish man silent. He gawked at them idiotically as they brushed past him inside. Both men and women were staring from tables to the right and the bar counter from the left. Ivan sighed. He hated having to tone down his presence, but the last thing he wanted was to draw attention to Daemon and himself while hunting. Within a few moments he all but disintegrated into the throng of heated bodies, Daemon trailing behind. “Do you see her anywhere?” he asked in a hushed voice.
