"Why do we have to kill you? What's killing you going to do?" I can't take this. I can't kill Sam, no one can kill Sam. She's too amazing to leave.
"He drank my blood. My blood is special, Joss. While I'm alive, my blood that's running through him still runs. If I'm dead, then he's cured."
"Exactly how much is he going to change? What's going to happen?"
"His eyes are already turning red. He will start doing bad things, which will gradually turn to terrible things. My dad can feel the energy coming from him. You need to kill me before he gets us."
"Isn't there any other way than killing you?"
"No, Joss. There isn't. Well… none that I know of." There has to be another way. I can't watch her die. This is all that bloodsucker's fault. Vampires are always here to kill and murder. Even innocent little children, while their older brother cowers behind the door, watching.
Henry talks after a while, "How long do we have?"
"We have a couple days before he completely loses control. You have to kill me now."
"Why do you seem so insistent on us killing you?" I shout. I can't stand it. Losing her would be losing everything I look for in a girl.
"Because I've caused enough trouble for you already. You're lives can go back to normal after I'm gone."
"But Sam…" I'm interrupted by Meredith breaking through the ceiling. I used to think she was so cute and adorable until now. She waves her hair out of her face, and makes the heart monitor hit Sam.
"You're all coming with me. I can to this easy," She holds out some high-tech hand cuffs, "or painful." She makes Henry start twitching to the floor. Nobody hurts my family.
"Stop hurting them!"
"What are you going to do about it, Joss? You going to try and stake me?"
"No." I can't stake a human, that's against society rules. Besides, I'm not aiming to kill her anyway. I punch her in the stomach, forcing her to the wall. Her head lifts in anger,
"Painful way it is." I feel I knife slice into my leg and topple over. Blood gushes out from the wound. Sam throws a sharp hospital thing at Meredith, cutting her head. Meredith hits Sam with the knife, cutting her side. That's not enough to stop her, though. She takes the knife from Meredith's grasp and stabs her arm with it. She has to be the toughest girl I've ever seen. She's awesome.
Henry groans and moves on the floor. I almost forgot he was here. I have to keep myself on guard. I help Henry up and he says, "We have to get Vlad out of here."
"Why would I want to help that worthless leech?"
"If you don't help me, Meredith will get us all, and Vlad won't be so nice to you or anyone. Plus, I won't go with you without Vlad." Henry could be so protective over that thing. What is it about Vlad that Henry loves? He must be controlling Henry's thoughts, forcing him to think that way about him.
We pick up Vlad and head toward the door, when Sam crashes into us. "You aren't going anywhere. When I think this can't get any worse, Jack steps through the door, and picks up Sam and Vlad with his power. Meredith gets Henry and I with hers. They take us back to that creepy, depressing place, only it's rebuilt.
I'm chained next to Henry while Jack is doing something with Vlad and Sam in the other room. I turn my head and jump, seeing a skull staring right at me. What does this Jack guy do for a hobby anyway? He's like a bloodsucker without fangs.
My heart wants to break out of my chest when I hear Sam's screams. I struggle and fight to break these chains, but it's no use. They're too strong. Sam is in serious trouble; we need to get her out! I try a final time before giving up. My heart is aching… who knows what that freak is doing to her.
Henry notices my sadness and breaks the silence (aside from the screams of pain). "You okay?" No. I answer with a frown. "You really like her don't you?"
"Yeah, I really do."
"There has to be some way to get out of these chains. Has that Slayer Society taught you how to get out of a situation like this?"
"No, they haven't." Henry hits his head on the stone walls in frustration. It moves a little bit. "Henry!"
"What? What is it?"
"When you hit your head on the wall the stone moved. The chains are strong…"
"But the wall's not!" He finishes my sentence for me. "But wait… how's that going to help us get out of here?"
"Move your head forward." After he moves his head I kick where the chain's attached to the wall. It falls out successfully.
"Excellent." I start kicking my own chains off the wall, then help Henry out of his other arm. We head for the door.
My heart goes crazy after seeing the scene before me. I can even feel a hot tear run down my cheek.
