head. “You too! You aren’t fucking human, either.” She raised her voice as she took a step back but noticed that Homer seemed ambivalent to his presence as he continued to lick himself.
    “No. I am not human but I am not your enemy either.” He folded his hands in front of him and stood still as she evaluated him, trying to make sense of the strange occurrence that had just taken place. “Never invite them in. They cannot hurt you as long as you are inside and don’t invite them in.” Zoe stepped through the threshold of her door and stated,
    “Then you aren’t invited.” Barry laughed and turned to walk away, proving to her that he was disinterested, which only piqued Zoe’s curiosity, forcing her to say, “Wait”. He stopped and turned back to face her then took a few steps towards the porch.
    “Yes?” He stood in her front yard, next to the azalea bushes that she had planted last spring, and awaited her answer. He thought she looked so demure, standing behind the door and the dog, looking to him for some clarity on the event with the stranger.
    Zoe opened the door wide, feeling a rush of exhilaration in what she was about to do. She had a good feeling about Barry and felt that she would be safe if she allowed him entry to the home. The dog didn’t seem to mind and he had given her no reason to be fearful, other than admitting he’s not human and turning a man to dust before her very eyes. She lifted her gaze to him and with certainty in her voice, asked,
    “Won’t you please come in?”

Chapter Six
    Zoe tried to listen to Barry’s words but she was too enthralled in his presence and mannerisms. She noted the way he stood: tall and proud, reminiscent of a soldier. His shoulders were strong and wide and his arms were as stout as she had ever seen. She was sure if she looked hard enough, she could make out each muscle in his well- defined form. He was physically exquisite and when he shook his head to the side, his hair fell sexily into his eyes, prompting him to mindlessly wipe it aside as he spoke. She was sure she wasn’t paying attention but she knew that she did hear him say “vampire”.
    “Excuse me? Like…” She made a “peace sign” with her fingers then bent them, putting them to her lips to resemble fangs. “Dracula, vampire? Vampire?”
    “I’m unfamiliar with Dracula but, yes. Vampire.” She got up from the couch and paced a few steps before turning to him and saying, “And angels? Vampires and angels? I’m dealing with vampires and angels? That’s what you’re telling me?” She made a look of being lost in thought for a moment and said, “I can handle that, I suppose. As long as there aren’t demons after me, I guess that’s cool.” He chuckled at her humor and replied,
    “I don’t know that he was necessarily ‘after you’ so to speak, just hungry I would imagine.” He looked to her and winked, “You smell divine.”
    “I do?” She asked with a chuckle and short smile before managing to blush six different shades of red in two seconds flat.
    Barry had vowed to never fall in love with a mortal woman. He had made a promise to never let his heart get in the way of his mission of annihilating every mutt on the face of the earth and allowing feelings to come into play was his number one rule.
    This human was making him think of breaking the rules. He hadn’t come across one such as this. She intrigued him. Excited him. He felt as though he wanted to know more of her and let her know of him in return, he just simply could not. She sat back down on the end of the tan sofa and placed a throw pillow in her lap, nervously kneading it as she said,
    “So, let me wrap my head around this real quick. You were an angel but you’re not anymore. He was a vampire and there’s many more and you have vowed to wipe them off the face of the earth because they are from a defiled bloodline from the original vampire, who was also an angel?” She looked at him, wanting to laugh
