Chanel was furious. What happened to the rest of her group? What happened to her mother, Galleria's mother, everyone? And why when she called the airport they were all supposed to leave from was there no answer? It just kept ringing and ringing and ringing. It was New York, someone had to be around! But it seemed like the only place full of life just then was Los Angeles, and even though no one else had checked in with her, Chanel had gone to the studio where she and the rest of the Cheetah Girls were supposed to have their audition, thinking maybe they were already there waiting. It was a waste of time, though, and as Chanel stood there in the main office of Rick Feisner, she realized she was here alone.
It was well after dark once she was on her way back to her own hotel, and even though she'd been warned not to go out after sundown, she hadn't believed the girl who had told her that and she walked leisurely along, muttering to herself in Spanish and checking her cell phone every minute or two.
Suddenly, out of the shadows jumped a lone vampire, though Chanel didn't know this at first. She gasped and jumped back with a start, but she immediately gave the stranger with the bumpy forehead and long fangs a lopsided grin. "Nice costume," she commented. "Where's the party? I could go for one right about now."
"Sorry, darlin'. The only party going on is the one I'm gonna have wit' you!" He lurched forward and grabbed her by the arms, and at that point, Chanel screamed, hoping someone would hear her and come to her rescue. As soon as the high-pitched sound left her throat, she felt teeth sinking into the side of her neck.
