“I didn’t say a damn thing,” I said.Something about the way Allie teased me reminded me a lot ofLeandra and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Allie elbowed her way through the crowd, whomostly parted for her anyway because she was still number one, arole model to look up to for success and riches. She released meright in front of the board, so close I almost couldn’t see it.

Jackie Border, witch. Used love potion onanother supernatural. For capture.

Natasha Wilde, vampire. Stolen goods. Forcapture or reported location.A 3D rendering of this one,although a good one, since vampires couldn’t be photographed.

Kyle Goodman, witch. Harboring illegalgoods. For capture.

I stepped back from the board to see itbetter and my breath caught. If I paid more attention now, I couldhear what the whispers were about, and they weren’t aboutme. It was so dumb of me; of course Allie would take me hereto gloat about this, and of course the council would be searchingforher, and of course I would still react like this, withAllie drinking up every second…

Underneath a 3D render of her vampire face,where she glared out at the bounty hunters as if daring them topursue her, read:

Leandra, vampire.

Murder of own species.

For the kill.
