Mistral�s Kiss
By
Laurell K. Hamilton
CHAPTER 1
I DREAMT OF WARM FLESH AND COOKIES. THE SEX I UNDERSTOOD, but the cookies�Why cookies? Why not cake, or meat? But that�s what my subconscious chose as I dreamt. We were eating in the tiny kitchen of myLos Angeles apartment�an apartment I didn�t live in anymore, outside of dreams.Thewe were me, Princess Meredith�the only faerie royal ever born on American soil�and my royal guards, more than a dozen of them.
They moved around me with skin the color of darkest night, whitest snow, the pale of newborn leaves, the brown of leaves that have gone down to die on the forest floor, a rainbow of men moving nude around the kitchen.

Galen with his pale, pale green skin and greener eyes bit into a cookie, and something squirted out the side.Something thick and dark.

I slapped it from Galen�s hand. I picked up the tray to keep the men from eating any more. The tray was full of blood. It dripped down the edges, poured over my hands. I dropped the tray, which shattered, and the men bent as if they would eat from the floor and the broken glass. I pushed them back, screaming, �No!�
