Tyler stared at Ronnie over his glass. She had been telling all about herself. It was quite a lot. Her parents both lived in Charlottesville. She had a brother named Jack, but he was out of the picture. She was interested in Supernatural stuff and had heard Mystic Falls was full of it. And now she stared at Tyler with an expecting look.
“I want to know più about this town ”
Tyler frowned. “There’s really nothing to tell” he detto avoiding.
“Yeah, right” Ronnie detto in disbelief. She searched her handbag and took out a newspaper and held it in front of Tyler.
“Police finds bodies of Lindy sisters” Tyler read. He looked up. “Yeah? What’s that to do with any Supernatural stuff?”
“There were bite marks on the youngest girl’s arm. They couldn’t find anything else, so she died because of that bite. And the eldest her cuore got ripped out. Think of any creatures that do that?” Ronnie said.
“What else do te got?” Tyler asked, not giving in.
“I know Damon and Stefan Salvatore are Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. and that I can’t trust them” Ronnie said.
“Have te met them?” Tyler raised an eyebrow.
“No, but a close friend told me everything about them” Ronnie explained. “I’m prepared, though. I know vervain weakens them and that they have rings to protect them from the sun. I know wolfsbane is poisonous for licantropi and I’m pretty sure I heard something about witches, though not many are left”
Tyler coughed. “You’ve done quite some research”
“Yes, I have” Ronnie confirmed, pleased with herself. “And I know your little secret” she whispered conspiracy.
“What?” Tyler asked shocked.
“I know te don’t like me” Ronnie said. “You’re just trying to make up. I know te like that blonde girl”
“Who? Caroline?” Tyler asked, playing dumb. “Nah, we’re very close, but there’s nothing between us”
“Yeah, because someone’s too blind to see the signs” Ronnie said.
“What signs?”
Ronnie rolled her eyes. “Honestly. Okay, te be a gentleman and pay the bill, please? I’m going to the bathroom” She walked to the restrooms. Tyler conjured some paper money and put it on the tavolo when he heard someone coughing.
“Excuse me, sir. The black car outside is it yours?” a deputy asked.
“Depends” Tyler detto frowning. “How many black cars did te see?”
“How about te come with me so te can point me your car and I’ll tell te if it’s the one I mean” the deputy suggested.
Tyler’s frown grew deeper. “You didn’t look at the license plate? Tell me te at least know what kind of car it was”
“Look, sir, it is not my intention to make a scene here, so how about te come with me. If it’s not your car that’s parked wrong there’s no problem” the deputy said.
“Fine” Tyler muttered and he grabbed his cappotto and followed the deputy outside.
Ronnie came out of the restrooms and noticed right away Tyler had left. She walked to the tavolo with fierce steps, knowing everyone was looking at her. She grabbed her glass of wine, drank it to the bottom and smashed it on the table.
