La Posada

All the chapters of this story will be posted to this board as soon as I can, but since I wanted to update, I thought I'd post the summaries as a way of reminding everyone of the story so far...

Lucky

Chapter Summaries

Chapter 1
Spoiler:
Freshie Lucky has received some troubling news from her doctor: she’s seriously anemic. She fears Josef will send her away forever, but instead, he has other plans, and tells her to pack for a journey.
Chapter 2
Spoiler:
Lucky arrives at La Posada de la Sangre de la Noche, a retreat for freshies nestled high in the San Juan Mountains outside Durango, Colorado. Two other freshies arrive with her, Sam Logan, an attractive young man, and Carmencita Diaz, an arrogant diva. Lucky meets her “hostess,” Marla, and starts to realize that the Posada may be luxurious, but it is also tightly controlled. Even some thoughtful presents from Josef can’t entirely quell her misgivings.
Chapter 3
Spoiler:
Lucky has her first meal in the dining room of La Posada, and extends her acquaintanceship with Sam. Later, Josef calls to see how she’s settling in.
Chapter 4
Spoiler:
Marla takes Lucky shopping in Durango, and tries to tell her a few home truths about vampires, and their relationships with freshies. She doesn’t really want to hear it.
Chapter 5
Spoiler:
Lucky has been at the Posada for three weeks, and gotten to be quite close to Sam, even though she continues to miss Josef and her life in Los Angeles horribly. When Sam cajoles her into coming to a star-gazing class, she attends reluctantly, and is surprised when he takes advantage of the darkness and their proximity to kiss her.
Chapter 6
Spoiler:
For three days after her encounter with Sam, Lucky had been avoiding him, but now he has tracked her down in an outdoor hot spring. As they argue, Sam offers her a chance for a very different future, and reveals his own secret pain. His vampire is a sadist. Before they can reach any conclusions, however, a general alarm calls them back to the Posada, where they learn that upon hearing that her vampire has been killed, Carmencita Diaz has attempted suicide.
Chapter 7
Spoiler:
Josef sneaks into the Posada to see Lucky. He is not happy that she allowed Sam to get so close, but he still refuses to make love to her. They talk, and Josef asks if she wants to be turned. Her answer is that she prefers feeding him to possibly immortality. They reach an uneasy peace with one another, and Josef leaves, after telling her she has to stay on at the Posada. He cautions her to be on the lookout, although for what, he does not say.
Chapter 8
Spoiler:
At breakfast, Sam reveals that Josef visited him after leaving Lucky that morning. The exchange was not pleasant, and Sam is considerably taken aback. Marla joins them, to find Lucky more acerbic towards her than usual.
Chapter 9
Spoiler:
Unnerved by her own visit from Josef, and distressed that Carmencita will be returning to the Posada, Marla calls her former vamp, Slade Weston. He cautions her to have Sam removed, before more damage can be done. Marla ponders this, remembering Josef’s words and actions in her office that morning.
Chapter 10
Spoiler:
Lucky is relaxing in her room when she hears a commotion in the hallway, and goes out to find that Sam is being forcibly dragged away, to be sent back to his vampire. When Lucky protests, Marla informs her it’s all her fault, for bringing Josef into the equation, and Lucky is left feeling that she may have caused Sam to be sent to his death.
Chapter 11
Spoiler:
Josef calls Lucky, later that night, and she tells him everything. When he calls back, later, it is to distract her by demonstrating the strength of their bond, making her feel like he is lying beside her in bed.
Chapter 12
Spoiler:
As Lucky eats lunch, Carmencita returns to the Posada. Seeing her abandoned by her friends, Lucky invites Carmencita to come to her room, so they can talk. Once there, Carmencita tells Lucky about her life as an hereditary freshie, and how worried she is about being with a new vamp. She does not know the name of the vampire who now holds her contract, but has learned he is in Los Angeles.
Chapter 13
Spoiler:
Lucky is horrified to learn that Carmencita will be moving to Los Angeles, and finishes up their conversation. She fears that Carmencita’s new vamp may well be Josef. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Josef has a visitor, a vamp who has recently been given the contract of an hereditary freshie in payment for an old debt, which he very much views as a problem.
Chapter 14
Spoiler:
Lucky surveys her email eagerly, waiting for word from Josef, and in the meantime, finds a new friend on Facebook, "Desiree Simmons." Marla receives several pieces of unwelcome news from Slade, including the one that several very powerful vamps will be descending on the Posada the next day. Later, Josef calls, meaning to tease Lucky, and finds her state of mind unexpectedly worrisome.
Chapter 15
Spoiler:
The Board of Director is on the way, and Marla, Lucky, Carmencita and a few others are waiting nervously for their arrival. Slade is the first, and he greets Marla harshly. When Josef appears, he seems to confirm Lucky’s fears that Carmencita is going to replace her in his affections, but in fact, the hereditary freshie is now contracted to Guillermo Gasol.
Chapter 16
Spoiler:
Guillermo begins to get acquainted with Carmencita. Meanwhile, the board meeting starts, and Sam is called in to testify, while Marla waits anxiously in her office for word of her fate.

Ask and ye shall receive...they're all up. I'll have to go back later and do the jump links, but all the chapters are viewable.
