      Defection - Susan G. Charles

      7

      Chapter 1

      GRACE WALLACE WAS A paramedic who had been working on the job with the local ambulance service in the small city of Lenox, Georgia, population 852, or just over 3 years now. She was well known throughout her company as being hardworking, heroic, an independent thinker and always ready to go the extra mile to save her patients. She always worked the night shifts and the occasional weekends and thrived in this fast paced environment. She was also a vampire - but no one knew her secret.

      Tonight, turns out, was no different than any other night on the job, except that it had rained earlier and was pretty miserable. As she pulled herself into the well stocked paramedic van, her long, dark hair pulled back into an easy to deal with pony tail, she thought for a moment about how to find the fastest route to her next call. Her GPS was on the fritz so her memory and an older county map book were all she had to rely on at the moment. A call had just come through to her that a man had been attacked by an unknown creature, and he was losing blood fast.

      With her adrenaline pumping she followed a routine that she had done so many times in the past that it had become instinctive. These were the nights that Grace lived for. She pulled out of her dark driveway, turned on her lights and siren and was on her way to the patients location. Her partner, Lynn, late as usual, was supposed to meet her at the scene.

      She was thankful to be working tonight. Her boyfriend, Jason, ignoring her as usual, wouldn’t even notice that she was gone, having just come in from some bar or another. This was normal for him - he was always out for the first half of the night, and then home watching the sports channels for the rest of it.

      She really hated the mundane routine their relationship had fallen into. Once it had been pure passion, all sultry nights, with plenty of lovemaking and talk of plans for the future. Now they barely acknowledged each other.

      As she was driving over her stomach began to rumble in protest. Then she realized that she hadn’t had time to hunt tonight. Crap! Usually she would go into the forest behind their house for a quick kill before her shifts, but it just didn't work out that way for her tonight, no thanks to Jason and his lazy ways.

      Unlike most other vampires, she didn’t like to drink human blood – or maybe it was just that she didn't want to drink human blood. Either way, she preferred taking her meals from wild animals. It just seemed more humane to her that way, if that
