““I was hunted once.' Elena looked up to where she could see Raphael and Michaela talking on a high balcony overlooking the lawn, and wondered if either angel would mind if she simply coldcocked the idiot at her side—she didn’t have time to deal with this kind of shit. 'Can’t have been too bad if you’re still here.' 'My mistress flayed the skin off my back and made it into a purse.' She wondered how well that info would go down with the faction who ascribed heavenly origins to the angels. 'Yet you serve her even now.' It sounded like something the bitch goddess would do. The vampire smiled, showed teeth. “It was a very nice purse.” Then he finally walked away... 'Immortality has way too many drawbacks,' she muttered, adding the possibility of becoming a purse to her mental list.””
