BLOOD
Erik and Nadir were in the sitting room, sipping tea and talking while Christine was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Suddenly a yell from the kitchen made both men start. Erik jumped up and ran to the kitchen, finding Christine standing over the sink.
"Christine," Erik asked concerned "what is it. What's wrong?" he cried and ran to her.
"I had an accident Angel, I cut my self with that huge knife you gave me to cut the meat." She turned and showed him her finger, blood running down into her palm.
Erik paled at the sight, his eyes going wide, he swayed for a moment before his eyes rolled up and he suddenly passed out.
Christine ran to his side "Erik? Erik!" she shook his shoulder frantically with one hand cradling her wounded hand against her. "Nadir help!"
Nadir raced in to the kitchen at her shout. He stopped short at the sight of Erik unconscious on the floor. "What happened?" he asked coming to Erik's side.
"I don't know," cried Christine plaintively "One moment I was showing him my hand that I had cut with that blasted knife he gave me and the next he just collapsed."
Nadir Nodded realisation dawning on him "Ah."
"What Nadir? What's wrong with him?" Christine was beside herself with worry for her pale, unconscious Angel.
"Well you see my dear" Nadir began "I think that.." he nodded to her bloody hand "..Is what caused this…" he nodded to the still out cold Erik.
Christine frowned, looking between her hand and Erik on the floor a few time when suddenly she understood. Her mouth dropped open in shock "But he's killed people." She exclaimed in surprise.
"He has yes" Said Nadir evenly but he never shed a drop of blood while doing it, if he had I fear this.." again he nodded to Erik "..Would have happened."
"You mean…" Christine blinked shocked.
"Yes" said sighed Nadir "the Angel of Doom faints at the sight of blood."
