something happen last night after i dropped you off ? '' he barked , waving his fake cane . alexander brushed my hair away from my face with his fingers . the fact is , buddy , you got yourself a bribe . two more vampires hit me like a storm and if i 'd been slightly taller , they might have taken me down . mother , why doubt us , when we love ? you already know what to do . how could i fight a crab , a thing perfectly at home in the water ?
