were close to his right ear, letting my hands explore his chest.
    “Yes, very, very bad,” I whispered.
    I then walked back and stood behind my chair. “Now, how about that advice?”
    He sighed, “What is it; what do you need?”
    “We had a potion that was a used as a weapon. Added to water,   it literally made the human population poisonous to any vampire who fed on them. I am trying to find out if it will work on these demon made vampires as well.”
    “Hmmm, I don’t know. How are you proposing that we find out?”
    “I don’t know enough about Belial’s kind, tell me if she is…”
    Cathos laughed, “Like me? Belial wasn’t Jinn, but she did have similar power and that’s what created what she called her ‘children’. Would it help if you could meet or capture one?”
    “That would probably save a lot of time. We could just go ahead and treat the water with the potion, but it’s a waste of time that we don’t have, if it won’t work on the hybrids. Besides, I was under the impression that they were all out of the underworld now.”
    “I said they are no longer going to your world. But there are many still here.”
    “I have no fight with those that are not in league with those in my world. Wait; is there any chance that any of them would join our cause?”
    “I wouldn’t go that far. You are a very optimistic person aren’t you?”
    “I try to be, but lately it has been very challenging. What else can you tell me? What kind of powers do these hybrids have?”
    “They are similar to day vampires, where some, not all have gifts. They are very strong. As strong as newly made vampires. You have an advantage against them now, because you have Jinn power. You can also cover your scent, change form and move from place to place easily. You may learn other things if you could speak with one. Let me see what I can do.”
    Cathos got up and walked out of the dining room leaving me alone with my thoughts.
    Cathos said that I had an advantage, which meant Damien and Cain had one as well. I could only hope that any advantage they had would keep them safe.
    It was quite some time before Cathos finally returned and he wasn’t alone. His companion’s scent was strong and not something I’d ever sensed before. My vampire gift of scent remembrance assured that now that I had experienced it, I would never forget it.
    The stranger’s eyes locked with mine and I knew right then that somehow he was going to help me. How or why was yet to be seen.
    “Katrina, this is Rafael.”
    “So you are the one all this fuss is about,” he said without smiling.
    “Pardon me?” I said looking to Cathos for some kind of clarification.
    “The underworld was at peace until the Five were joined. If it hadn’t been for the Dark Prince’s infatuation with you…”
    “You can blame me all you want if you tell me what I need to know. Are you going to do that or not? Because if not, I can’t waste time talking about things I can’t change.”
    He looked surprised by my abruptness, but it was true, I did not have time or the patience to mince words.
    “Let’s go to the lounge,” Cathos said. “We might as well be comfortable.”
    That room was just down the hall. It was opulently furnished with its ornately carved pieces upholstered in luxurious and exotic leathers. Although very masculine in style, it was inviting somehow.
    I chose a high backed chair and waited for Cathos and Rafael to sit and get comfortable. Cathos then raised his hand and received a goblet of wine.
    “Would either of you like anything to drink?”
    “Nothing for me, thank you.”
    “Blood please,” Rafael requested and received.
    “So tell me what you know about Belial’s hybrid ‘children’.”
    “First of all they are called Belnovus, the rest of us are called Noctu, or simply night. I prefer to be called by my name,” he said sarcastically.
    “So you only prefer darkness or can you function…”
    “We can be in the light, but it
