Thanks again to all my wonderful reviewers who have bothered to review my story. Here's chapter 11!
Darkness clouded my vision. I dropped onto my side and closed my eyes tightly. The sword was still lodged securely through my ribs. I couldn't sense Alexander anymore, he must have run.
"Kate!" I heard Josef yell. Suddenly I sensed him at my side. I briefly opened my eyes to see the concerned expression on his face. He gripped the hilt and carefully pulled the sword out of me. I could feel my wound trying to heal, but I needed blood and unfortunately I had lost most of mine.
"I have to go find Mick and Beth, I'll be back, just stay here OK?"Josef said softly and began walking quickly away. I closed my eyes once again. Did he really think I'd get up and walk away? With that thought I slowly slipped out of consciousness.
-With Josef-
Josef weaved around the shelves and piles of boxes looking for somewhere Mick and Beth might be. He had to be quick. Kate needed blood and soon. He picked up speed and began sprinting through all the obstacles, searching at vampire speed.
Finally he came upon a door at the back of the building. It was big and made of steel, there was also a small square window near the top of the door. Josef ran up to it and peeked inside. The inside was deprived of light besides the small amount that shone through the window, he could see a dark figure huddled in a corner with another figure lying in the it's arms. He shoved the bolt out of the lock, even with his super strength it was pretty heavy. Quickly, he pushed the door open. Light poured inside revealing Mick and Beth. They both looked dead, but Josef was reassured when Beth stirred and Mick's eyes opened.Mick jumped up baring his fangs to attack the intruder, but relaxed when he saw who it was.
"Josef,"he said wearily,"thank God."
"Don't thank God, Mick, thank me. I'm the one saving you."he said with a crooked smile.
Mick smiled back the best he could. He looked like he had taken a major beating from those vampires. Beth slowly got up and faced them, eyes squinting against the light.
"Let's go. We need to get Kate home, she needs blood now." Josef said as he began walking out of the small cell.
Mick caught up with him followed by Beth,"What happened?"Beth asked worridly.
"Alexander, the vamp that kidnapped you, stabbed her with a silver sword." Josef replied quickening his pace.
When they reached Kate she was lying unconscious on the ground. Josef gently scooped her up in his arms and walked towards the entrance of the warehouse. When outside, they sped over to Kate's car and piled in. Josef set Kate down carefully in the passenger seat as Mick and Beth sat in the back.
An hour later, Mick, Beth, and Josef sat on the couches in Josef's home. Kate lay on the couch Josef sat on curled up, still unconscious. They all sat in silence, thinking of nothing to talk about, waiting for Kate to wake up.
-Kate's POV-
I awoke with a horrible headache, the place between my ribs hurt terribly,and the need for blood was almost unbearable. Suddenly it all came back to me. Mick and Beth kidnapped, the warehouse, getting stabbed. I opened my eyes slowly. As my vision adjusted to the light I heard a relieved sigh next to me. I looked around warily and realized I must be in Josef's house, because everything looked ridiculously expensive.
I rolled over and winced as the pain where I got stabbed increased. Mick and Beth sat across from me and next to me was Josef. They all looked very concerned.
"Are you OK?"Josef asked me.
"Blood..." I croaked, my mouth was really dry.
"Of course."he said and rose off the couch and walked into the kitchen. He returned quickly with a very large glass of blood.
"I didn't bother getting a freshie.You're probably like Mick, getting your blood from blood banks, right?" he said and sat the glass down on the table in front of me.
I nodded weakly, sat up, and grabbed the blood. I gulped it down quickly. I felt much better, but I still needed more. Josef took the glass, understanding, and came back with a refill. I drank it slower than before. Finally I felt like I'd had enough. I looked down at my injury. The nasty wound was healing quickly, soon it was gone, the only evidence was the blood stain on my shirt. Even with it fully healed I still felt exhausted and I soon drifted off to sleep.
I woke up again later that night. When I opened my eyes, Mick and Beth were no longer there, but surprisingly Josef sat in a chair near the couch I was on. He had his cell phone to his ear speaking angrily into it. When he saw I was awake he wrapped up the call quickly and came over.
"Need some blood?" he asked.
I nodded and he disappeared into the kitchen. I sat up on the couch and looked around. I was sitting in a large room with two couches, one chair, a coffee table, a flat screen television on a wall and a collection of old looking, priceless decorations. Also there was a very large window with a great view of L.A.. Josef exited the kitchen and handed me my third glass of blood today and watched as I quickly drank it all.
"Thanks, Josef." I said gratefully.
"It's no problem, that blood is expendable, I prefer fresh blood anyways." he said grinning.
"Not just for the blood though, for everything,"I said and smiled,"it was really nice of you."
A disgusted expression crossed Josef's face,"Don't get all mushy now." he said.
I laughed and got up,"I better go."
Josef rose out of his chair again and walked me to the door. He opened the door for me, but before I walked out I hugged him unexpectedly.
"Really Josef, thanks." I said and walked out the door. Josef stood there, a surprised look on his face, as I got into my car and drove away.
