to thumb over my teeth? Now you of all people have to check them too?” Zack wanted answers.
    Kyli was more than willing to oblige. “You really want to know, don’t you?”
    Zack nodded with a pout.
    “Then settle down, you’re going to re-injure yourself if you keep moving around like that. To answer your questions, I’ll have to show you.” Kyli smiled wide, enough to show her shinny white teeth from side to side.
    “So?” Zack saw that there was nothing special to them. He liked her smile, but it didn't appear to be weird or strange in any way.
    Kyli opened her mouth tall and grinned, revealing her teeth under her taught lips. She had fangs, upper and lower. They weren’t as long as Orhn’s, but they were sharp none-the-less. Thin and resembling needles, they instantly frightened Zack.
    “You’re a vampire too!?” Zack pushed back into the seat towards the door, searching for the handle he just had a firm grip on a moment ago.
    “Sorry, it’s a little higher than most cars” Kyli’s teeth were flaring as she continued their conversation without pause. She pointed to the high placed location of the door handle as she smiled, still baring her fangs.
    “What?” Zack was still searching. Stunned by the very sight of Kyli's smile.
    “The handle.” Kyli said calmly. She knew that Zack wasn't going to find it without looking at it directly. She knew the idiosyncrasies of her car more than anyone. Zack didn't have a chance. She waited for him to stop struggling. “Not to call you a poor runner, but I truly doubt you can run from me with that leg of yours. Not to mention the fact that I’m stronger than you.” Kyli chuckled slightly and sat back. “You really have no clue, do you?” She stared off into the starry night.
    “So, you are a vampire? For real? Just like Orhn?” Zack had stopped reaching for the handle. If Kyli was going to kill him, she wouldn’t have rescued him. That was the logic he had come to. Though he was still able to think of reasons he might be in danger. “Are you going to bite me?” Zack figured that if Kyli was a vampire, she would need blood after her fight with Orhn. His voice had a timid fear in it. It sounded like he was a little orphan boy asking for another portion of soup.
    Kyli burst out laughing. “It’s true. You really don’t know.” She kept laughing. Kyli turned to Zack. “You sound pathetic you know. After seeing me, hell, after seeing him. Do you really think I would have trouble biting you if I wanted to? Jesus, after what he told you he was going to do to you? You still have the nerve to be afraid of me after him? I saw the smashed packet of blood next to your leg. He realized what you were before it was too late. Now I know what you are as well. It seems that you’re the only one who doesn’t.” Kyli burst out laughing again.
    Zack was feeling a little left out in the conversation and sat back quietly.
    “No Zack, I’m not a vampire. That guy who did this to you, Orhn, he is. I’ll be okay by morning as I said. And that's because I'm not human either. Just not a vampire like him.” Kyli pointed to her neck. It had completely closed, it resembled only a bad paper cut now. Nothing to what it was like earlier. “As for if I’m going to bite you or not, well.” Kyli leaned forward. Using her left hand to pull at Zack’s neck she placed her lips up to his left ear and whispered. “I am going to bite you. My fangs will pierce your throat and you will bleed into my mouth. You will become dizzy from the anemia. Your hands will shake. Your eyes will roll back into your head. The sounds around you will dull, the world will close up like a flower in winter. You might even die.”
    Zack wasn’t breathing. He didn’t think Kyli wanted to hurt him, this wasn’t making sense. Kyli liked him, or so he thought. She drew back her lips over her wet sharp teeth, forcibly pulling Zack to her by the back of his neck.
    “But not before we have our better
