A/N: I've posted the sequel to 'Why Save a Life'...it's called...wait for it...How to save a life. I know, I couldn't think of a title...

Here's the next chapter!

We're getting near the end now!

I was jumpy. Really jumpy. But, I figured it was understandable considering what was going to happen. I leant against the wall, outside. I could see the line of the wards. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. I was dizzy.

"You ok?" A familiar voice said.

I jumped, "Dammit! At least stomp or something when you're sneaking up on someone!"

Liam smiled, "Are you ready to go?"

I shrugged, "As ready as I'm going to be."

Liam quickly ducked his head and kissed me. I very almost pushed him away, but I knew he was stronger than me, and I didn't want a fight. Besides, I had the feeling I needed someone to kiss me in light of what I was about to do.

"Come on." He started to head towards wherever the hell we were going, pulling me with him and picking up my bag in the process. There was a car near Court, a car that he was driving and no one else was there. I was pretty sure he'd done that on purpose, he'd known I hadn't wanted to be around Strigoi. I let him drive, while staying silent. I didn't want to talk. He pulled up outside a hotel. Apparently we had a room booked. It was a nice hotel, the kind I'd probably choose myself, which was probably the point.

Liam opened the door for me.

"I can open a car door you know." I said to him.

"And so can I." He said smiling.

I rolled my eyes and followed him into the hotel. We had one room. With one bed. But that wasn't surprising. It would be standard for hotels, Liam wouldn't have wanted to make a scene but he also probably wanted to share a bed anyway.

Liam dumped my bag by the bed and sat on a chair.

"Do you want food or something?" He asked awkwardly.

"No. I'm fine." I said sitting on the bed.

"Are you sure?" He insisted, "I could get you something."

"Liam, I'm fine. I literally only ate an hour ago." I smiled.

"Sorry." He sighed, "I just..."

"I know. So when are we doing this?" I asked.

"Tomorrow." He said.

I nodded, "All right. How are we going to do it?"

"I've sort of...let it get out that I have you. It'll circulate to him and he'll turn up where I've told him." Liam said, "I'll leave you on your own, not literally, I'll be close by. But I'll be far enough away for him to show himself. Then, I'll take him out."

"All right." I felt a knot forming in the pit of my stomach just thinking about it.

Liam, sensing my unease, stood up and walked over to me, he cupped my face in his hands.

"I will not let anything happen to you." He murmured, "No matter what happens, I will not leave you alone."

"I shouldn't have said yes." I muttered.

"Ok," He wrapped his arms around me, "Everything's going to be ok."

It felt really weird being in a Strigoi's arms. I had done it before. But this time it felt...wrong. I wanted to be anywhere but there. But, I also didn't want to leave. It might have felt wrong but I was comfortable anyway.

"I'm going to go and get you some dinner." He said heading for the door.

"All right." I glanced at the time, I must have been in his arms for ages, now and it was almost past when I'd normally eat. I lied back on the bed and studied the ceiling. It wasn't a particularly interesting ceiling to be perfectly honest, but it distracted me for a while.

Eventually Liam came back, with, unsurprisingly, a pizza box. I could remember that he'd generally chosen that when he'd been a Dhampir, when I'd been stressed or pissed off. It was always a good idea. He placed it on the bed and opened it. I started to eat it, slowly. Liam wrapped an arm around me, carefully.

"Are you ok?" He asked softly.

"I'm fine." I said picking up another piece, "I'm still slightly...annoyed but, I'm better."

He nodded and kissed my neck. I shivered a little, feeling his lips on my neck, brought back too many memories. He held me tighter.

"I'm not going to bite you." He murmured.

I smiled a little, "Why don't I quite believe that?"

"Because you're annoying. Now, relax." He pulled me into his chest and lied down, bringing me with him, "Get some sleep, and you can have a go at me, and be terrified in the morning." He said running his fingers down my cheek.

"All right." I said sighing, "I'll shut up."

He laughed.

I didn't sleep, I wasn't sure how he expected me to considering the fact that Liam was there, holding me and when I woke up I was going to see Nathan. There was no way I was going to manage to sleep.

I hated my life.

A/N: Ok, all of my fanfic's seem to be getting short chapters this week. I've sort of had my attention on 'Why save a life'...

I posted another fanfic, it's called Teacher's Pet, please take a look at it:

Summary: A new teacher comes to St Vlads, she's a twenty year old Dhampir and has had affairs with several royal Moroi's leaving her with a dodgy past, but, luckily no kids. Her charge recently died and has been moved to the school for the few months before Rose's year graduates. But there's a problem, she falls for Eddie and he falls for her. Can they make it work?

I love reviews!
