Jane hated driving at night, especially on very dark, foggy nights when the rain was beginning to drizzle and smear her windows. She hated country roads, it was that horrible feeling of blindness, the car lights could only reach so far and at times she felt as though she was about to drive into a dark abyss.
She drove slightly slower, she was aware that there was a sharp bend coming up ahead, she shivered through her scrubs and cursed Kate for making her switch shifts.
Jane was a midwife at the local hospital, Kate was her co-worker who was having a very indiscreet affair with one of the top doctors and every now and then Jane would sacrifice her night off to help her friend have sex and tonight had been one of the longest nights of her life.
Something she was growing to resent Kate for, she gripped the steering wheel and thought of the guy she was seeing, Colin, plain, boring Colin. Crap in bed Colin. She scolded herself for being so harsh but he was boring, she yawned as she took the next bend in the road, it had been a very long night in which she'd been screamed at by three different women in labour.
He opened his eyes, he was still weak but the bright, dazzling lights that suddenly blinded him reminded him that he was still here.
Jane rubbed her eyes and went back to thinking of her day, Kate had once again been full of stories about how great Dr Hill was in bed, in truth Jane had learned to tune her out and just nod and say really? At the right moments, Kate was always so excited she never noticed anyway.
Jane envied Kate, Kate with her free lifestyle, sex with whomever she wanted when she wanted, the freedom to do what she wanted. Jane didn't have that, she'd somehow fallen into one boring relationship after another, she'd never felt anything for the men she was with and Colin was no exception. None of them were exciting, she ached for something exciting to happen to her, she had grown so used to her routine life that she'd never even thought to question any of it. But it had occurred to her that night at work, seeing the pure happy expressions on those smiling couples faces as they welcomed their newborn baby into the world, that she couldn't recall feeling that happy. She couldn't remember even feeling a tiny portion of the happiness they had and she envied all of them for it.
He half dragged, half crawled through the wooded area, he had no idea how he'd made it this far but the thought that he was alive kept him moving, and the lights got closer.
The fog cleared slightly and Jane put her foot down determined to get home and crawl into her bed, she was grateful that Colin was away in France on boring business. She sped down the straight stretch of road as the rain suddenly became thicker and she flicked her wipers up a notch, it was pointless really because the rain was so heavy as soon as it was wiped away it reappeared.
The lights were dazzling him now as he reached the edge of the road, perhaps he would have more strength if he changed?
Jane turned the heater up and squinted, trying desperately to see the road ahead, she hated driving in weather like this, it always made her so nervous. Though to be fair everyone had been a little on edge lately since Michael had turned up at work the other night talking about a shootout in the subway and now he was missing. The whole hospital was buzzing about what might have happened to him.
The change was difficult, it sapped more energy out of him than he thought it would but it did allow him to move quicker into the drivers vision, he needed to feed, he needed his strength.
Jane relaxed back in seat and yawned again as the rain began to slow so she could finally see ahead. Jane screamed. She felt something hit her in the face. Felt the car swerve.
He moved round the car and looked inside, she was slumped with her head resting on the steering wheel, a deflated airbag cushioning her face. Blood trickled down from her scalp.
Jane opened her eyes; her head pounded as she tried to sit up, she became aware she was in total darkness and lying on what felt like a bed. She felt a hand glide over her hip and pull her back down; she lay on her side and became very aware of the warmth against her back. The warmth of another body.
He pushed her hair out of her face and looked at her, he wiped the deer blood away from his mouth, he'd been ready to feed off the deer anyway, her hitting it with her car and saved him some strength. Her breathing was slow and shallow, he unclipped the seatbelt and carefully lifted her out, he could smell surgical spirit and blood on her. He carried her all the way back to the now derelict, empty building his pack had called home. Now there was only him.
Jane wasn't sure whether to panic or not, she knew that if your body temperature dropped you huddled for warmth but she was very aware that she was naked and so was he, she was 100% positive the figure warming her was a man. The hand that had gently forced her to lie back down moved over her hip and across her stomach and pulled her closer to him. Jane was surprised, if someone had asked her how she'd react in this situation she would have said, " well I'd scream my head off of course, I'd panic and try to run away", instead she was doing the total opposite.
Please review guys, this will be quite a mature story so if you're a bit fainthearted don't read anymore lol x
