Mick opened the door his apartment. He could smell something wasn't right. Following his nose, he headed for his freezer. Opening the door to his room, he saw Josef sitting on the floor.
Josef raised his head, slowly. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry"
Smelling the blood, Mick ran to the freezer. His fears were confirmed when he saw her laying inside. "NO!" He slammed Josef into the wall. "What did you do?"
"I had to. I'm sorry. I tried to save her. I tried." Josef didn't fight. He simply went on mumbling. Only a few words were coherent. Sorry. Wake. Sarah.
Mick couldn't understand any of it. Josef had more self control then anyone Mick knew. He wouldn't have attacked Beth. And he wouldn't have turned her for no reason.
Turned. Mick rushed to the freezer and flipped it open. Beth lay there. Her heart wasn't beating but Mick knew she was alive, or at least as alive a vampire can be. Brushing a hand across her cheek, he knew all he could do now, was wait and pray.
