Broken Line: An Urban Fantasy: 4 (Cataclysm)

In all my years as a Vampire hundreds of them I never imagined humans would be anything other than food.Rich pure delectable blood. Prey that fought back never posed a problem. Mortals couldnt stand against those of us with supernatural ability. That world still exists but its taken a backseat to humans whove joined forces with turncoat mages. Mortals were never meant to wield power. Over the long haul theyre sure to be very sorry for the choices theyve made.Meanwhile theyre a huge pain in the rear and a threat to every type of mage not only Vampires. Some days I just want to go back to running my nightclub. Ascent is a dont ask dont tell establishment. I never cared who frequented my bar so long as they brought plenty of money and a powerful thirst for booze.Maybe someday Ill be a humble innkeeper again but its so far in the future I cant even think about it. Nope. For now all I see is blood. Rivers of it and not running down my gullet either. On the plus side I have good friends powerful allies and a Vampire who loves me.We have to come through this unscathed. Have to. Im Ariana Hawke and I take care of whats mine.
