Chapter 7

After supper Lassiter and Angel walked down to the clinic. "How long do you think it'll take them to get the results? I already did a blood test." Angel asking leading the way since Lassiter didn't know the way to the clinic. He claimed he never went there.

"It shouldn't take long." Lassiter said keeping his eyes on Tahlly. "I heard it can take up to two weeks. But on Murray it only takes twenty fours." Tahlly said. "Murray?" Lassiter asked raising an eyebrow. "It's human TV trash." Tahlly said looking back at him.

"You watch human TV?" He asked. "Yup, not often though. They have some good stuff sometimes. Like this show House or Physic." Tahlly said continuing to walk. "House?" "It's a show about a egotistical genesis doctor." Tahlly said.

She knocked on the clinic door. "Come in!" Jane shouted. She was hunched over charts. The young blonde male was with her. Tahlly had barely seen him since she had gotten here. 'Maybe he's antisocial.' She thought as he stood behind the doctor. "Dr. Jane we came to ask a favor." Tahlly said stepping towards her. 'Like I'm in any position to ask for favors.' She thought sighing.

"Can you perform a paternity test?" Lassiter asked seeing Tahlly was too shy. "On you two?" She asked raising one delicate eyebrow. "Yes." Tahlly said before Lassiter could make a rude comment. "I've never done one before but I could do it." Jane said straightening up.

"How long will it take?" Lassiter asked. "If nothing happens tonight to any of the warriors I can have by night fall tomorrow." Jane said. "Thank you Dr. Jane." Tahlly said smiling. "You're welcome. What kind of doctor would I be if I said no. Now get up on the table I have to get some samples." Jane said opening the cabinet and pulling out some swabs and a syringe.

Tahlly backed up into Lassiter getting wide eye. "What's wrong Tahlly?" He whispered placing his hands on her shoulders. "I- I don't like needles." She stuttered. His grip on her shoulder got tighter. "It'll be alright. Jane will take good care of you. I'll be right here." Lassiter said making her walk forward.

She sat on the table and he held her hand as Jane tried off the arm. "We need blood and saliva samples to test against good another." Jane explained. Tahlly looked away and squeezed Lassiter hand. "It'll be in a few minutes." Lassiter said placing his another hand on her knee. Jane should had the amount she needed.

Then she took Tahlly's saliva sample. Tahlly had no problem with that. Lassiter then got on the table. "See it wasn't so bad was it?" He asked. Tahlly silently shook her head feeling stupid so acting like such a child. Lassiter was done in half the time Tahlly was. He was use to this kind of thing.

They headed back upstairs. "I've spend too much time away from Slaughter. She may be safe here but I can't slack off." Tahlly said as their reached the first floor. "I should probably head out any ways." Lassiter said heading for the door. "What do you do anyways?" She asked.

He turned and face her with a smirk. "That my dear is my secret. " He said then turned and left. "What a strange man." Tahlly muttered. 'Actually now that I think about it I barely know anything about my possible father. That needs to be change.' Tahlly thought heading upstairs. She went to Slaughter's door and knocked on the door.

No answer. "Mhhh that's strange." She muttered and knocked again, louder. There was still no answer. "Great, Wrath's gonna kill me if he knows I was gone from her side for more than an hour." She said. 'Where could she be?' She thought as she began to search the mansion.

'I can't ask anyone if they're seen her. They'll just say I was suppose to be with her.' Angel thought searching the bottom floor. An hour had passed and she still hadn't found her. By now her mind was going crazy with ideas of what could have happened. She came up to the second for the third time when she saw the male nurse form the clinic.

She usually avoid male's eyes when by herself. He went out of his way to keep eye contact with her as they walked closer together. "She's in the library." He said as he passed by her. "Excuse me?" She asked turning to see him. "Slaughter, she's in the library." He replied continuing walking. "Oh, thank you." She said then headed to the library.

She opened the door to see Slaughter sitting at a table deep in a book. It was huge red leather bound book. "What are you reading?" Angel asked shutting the door. "My family history. It's quiet interesting." Slaughter said. She put the book down and took off her glasses.

She sipped her coffee. 'Slaughter did enjoy reading before the transition. But she hasn't read in so long.' Angel thought taking a sit. "How are your eyes doing?" Angel asked. "Fine, it's easier to read the old language. It doesn't strain my eyes as much as English." Slaughter said.

'Though I didn't get much reading done with that young male asking me so many question.' Slaughter thought closing the book. "So when will we know?" Slaughter asked. "Tomorrow at night fall." Angel said sighing. "On time will crawl for you." Slaughter laughed. Angel nodded in agreement. "So let's go practice." Slaughter said getting up from the table.

"Sounds good to me. I need to let off some stream after the panic attack you put me though. Don't disappear like that again." Angel said slapping her shoulder. "Sorry, I figured you would find me eventually. I mean it would be obvious if I wasn't in plain sight I was with a book." Slaughter said. Yeah you think so but next time leave a note." Angel said as their left the room.

They most of the night down in the basement. Some time before last meal a few males rushed in. Blood filled the air. "I wonder who injured." Slaughter said as they stopped. They was noise and shouts coming from the clinic then it felt silent. Two males exited the room.

Tohr and John sat on a bench outside the clinic's now shut door. "It's neither Blay or Qhuinn." Angel said as went closer. "What happened?" Angel asked stopping in front of John. "Qhuinn was shot by one of those sons of bitches." Tohr growled since Angel had a hard time with sign language.

"Ohh, I'm sorry. Is there anything we can do to help?" Angel asked. They shook their heads. Slaughter took a seat by Tohr. "We can at least be here for support." Slaughter said. Angel nodded and sat by John. She patted him on the back and whispered. "I'm sure he'll be fine. He's a fighter." He gave her a smile and nodded of the head.

After what seems to be like hours Blay came out. He hung his head low making the males jump. He took a deep breath and looked up at them with a smile. "He's gonna pull though just fine." He announced. Jane then came out taking off her mask. "He has lost a lot of blood but he'll be fine by the morning. Just needs to rest and eat,…and more than just food." Jane said.

"Are you suggesting he takes some blood?" Angel asked. "Yes I believe it'll help him heal and help his body produce his blood more quickly." Jane said. "I'll call the Dirctex and get a Chosen over here." Tohr said heading for the door. "No, that'll take to long." Angel protested making everyone stared at her. She began to blush.

Slaughter cleared her throat and said "I think Angel is thinking of what is best for Qhuinn. Time probably isn't not his side." Angel nodded and quickly said. "Yes, we mustn't waste time." "Well most of the females in the house are too young to give blood, except you two." Tohr said.

"I could give him my blood." Angel said turning red knowing was looking at her again. "She certainly has enough of it." Blay muttered. "Well get in there then." John signed pushing her towards the door. 'She better take good care of him.' Blay thought crossing his arms. Slaughter sat back down. "I'm gonna stay here until she comes out." Slaughter said. Everyone else sat down again.

Angel closed the door behind her and slowly made her away to the bed. He seems to be asleep. 'I shouldn't wake him up.' Angel thought as she stopped at the foot of his bed. She took a few steps closer to make sure. 'He's kinda handsome when he's asleep.' She thought. Then his eyes popped up making her jump. She put her hand to her heart.

"Jeez don't scare a person like that." She muttered. "W-What are you doing in here?" He asked in a raspy voice. "I um I heard you need fed." She said quickly glancing down at the floor. "Well where's the food?" He asked. She glanced up and shook her head.

"No food? Ohhhhh!" He said. She nodded taking a small step closer. "Hell no!" He protested. She looked up at him shocked. "Why not?! You need blood to help heal you and there's another female in the house available. You're crazy if you think Wrath would let Slaughter give up her blood." Angel said getting closer.

She sat on the bed. "Do you really dislike me that much you would rather suffer than take my blood?" She asked looking him dead in the eye. He blushed looking away and muttered something. "Excuse me?" She hissed mounting him now.

"I don't dislike you." He repeated. She raised an eyebrow as she lead down towards him. "Really I think otherwise your words contradict your actions. If you don't dislike me then what? You fear me? Fear the unknown?" Angel whispered. "No not fear." He said staring straight up at her. She leaned in closer still tilting her head to the side.

He gently placed his lips on her neck. If she didn't know any better she would swear him was kissing her neck. He then sank his fangs into her carotid artery. She tensed at the small string but then relaxed allowing him his fill.
