Chapter One...

So, chapter one...instead of dragging out the inevitable OMG moment, Tink and Tommy meet in this first chapter, for the very first time---ever. She was 'released' from her protective exile back in Thailand and invited to not only visit with her uncles in the US, but to finally attend a particular summit.

You may notice that most names will not be revealed or good spoiler alerts will not be disclosed. I don't mean to be evasive with some of this information, but I think it would be a good idea to reserve some things for the book itself.

So she and her ninjas haven't even unpacked their things or rested from their flight, when we open the story with Tink and what is left of them, walking through the woods, in hopes of locating and rescuing the two that have gone missing. As they approach the location where her people are, there is something else happening that doesn't seem to be connected, but in this story, every single detail at some point will connect to something else. All I can say is that they followed the screams. Once they reach their destination, so much more than she expected happens within the next fifteen minutes. Other than realizing what was about to happen to her ninjas (which she knew she must stop immediately), Tink sensed that all but one person were vampires. And then she noticed him, Tommy. She knew it was him instantly, she was drawn to him, but never in her dreams was he a vampire. 

In this scene, we introduce the, let's call them, 'good' guys and the 'bad' guys. Three people die in this first scene, and defensively, Tink displays some pretty cool magic. As she and her people don't ever outstay their welcome anywhere, they decide to leave. But she is drawn to this man and approaches him. She notices a certain necklace that he is wearing which resembles hers. So here is one of those 'bookmark' moments as I call them, you may just want to put a pin in it, lol. But this necklace; the observation that it resembles hers, turns out to be something quite significant. He, Tommy, also seems to be quite stunned with her presence and lets her know. But she feels the need to get away from him, as she was not prepared for this, and tops off that scene with some more magic, this time, simply because she can.

The ninjas--other than Tink who now leads them, there are seven, so eight in total. Should I tell you where they are from? I suppose I can, but I am thinking that I will save that for another time. Yes, they all live together in Thailand, but only two of them are of Asian decent. There is, as with all groups, a pecking order within their ninja group. The one who was their leader for centuries now, ends up being the second in charge, as Tink quickly rises above them all in skill, and just overall, all things magical. Remember, they are vampire ninjas, but none of them possess magical powers. So as young as Tink is, or is she, hmm, good point there. Oh look! there's a bunny, lol, no-I don't have ADD, bet you couldn't tell! Anyway, even though this group of ninjas practically raised Tink, even though they always have each others back, and even though in this story you will see how close they are and how they care for one another, if you really sit down and think...or maybe put yourself in the place of, now second in charge-her name is Jina, how would you feel? Would you feel honored to be asked by the Vampire King to look after, raise, and protect with your life, his niece? Did she know; did the King tell her that one day this child would take over her leadership position and that she, Jina, would answer to her? Again, would you be honored or would you be insulted, internally and privately? Would you promise yourself that you would one day make things right and take back the reigns? Well, in this first book, you won't see any of this, in fact, none of this may ever surface since they become besties. I was just thinking out loud, you know, food for thought. But what if...

So I was going to discuss her uncles and Tommy a bit, but I noticed my blogs end up quite long. So I will leave you with the above to think about for now, and I'll be back before you know it. Until then, dream on...
