Allegra held Kassandra to the wall and Blythe screamed as her stomach ripped open. She tried saying something and I searched her thoughts but I was at an impasse. It wasn't until she moved her hand that I noticed what she was trying to say.

"Chris, Turn Katrina."

"What? Why?"

"She's dying do it. Now." I pushed him toward her and he bent down to her. she barely moved to acknowledge him.

"I'll make everything better." He said bending toward her neck, letting his fangs sink into her neck. She made a strange guttural noise and stayed silent. I heard her heart go into over time. The venom was talking affect I could hear her thoughts.

It burned. She wanted him to cradle her. She wanted him to make the pain stop. Even though Christopher couldn't hear her thoughts he remained near both of them: Katrina with the venom and Blythe with the open wound in her abdomen. Russell put a reassuring hand on Christopher.

"Allegra," I called. "She doesn't have much time." Russell approached Kassandra and Allegra.

"Let her go." He said and Allegra glared at him.

"She loved you, you know? Blythe. She was going to kill Blythe and you. I can't let her do that."

"Let her go." Russell barked, ripping Allegra away from Kassandra and, in the process, tore off Kassandra's right hand. She screamed in agony and raced to grab it back but Russell crushed it before she could stop him.

"Heal them. Now."

"I can't with out my-" She whimpered. I'd never seen her like this. She was like a child.

"She's lying." I cut her off by reading her mind. She was. She could do it. She knew she could she just wanted this to be her last stand against death. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her with a brute strength that matched Christopher's then I saw what his ability was.

"Heal. Them." He said one more time and she moved over to us resting her only hand on my cheek. The burn marks that she placed on my body melted away. I felt a warm sensation and he pulled her hand away from my face.

"Keep her a vampire." He growled. She sniffed and moved to Blythe healing her enough to stop the bleeding but nothing more.

"That's all I can do." With out killing myself. She added mentally most likely still unaware that I had tapped into her mind

"You're useless then. Get out." He motioned to the door and she took ticket as her only shot to freedom. "Let's get her to a hospital." He ordered and picked her up.

"I'll remain here with Katrina." Christopher began.

"I'll do the same." Solomon looked to me. "She's our new sister. She should be welcomed by as many people as possible."

"We'll meet you there as soon as possible." Edwin looked to us standing next to Christopher with Solomon. Elsie nodded toward him and joined Allegra, Luca, Russell and myself.

We raced to a nearby hospital with barely enough time. Blythe was bleeding all over the place and the doctors hopped on the body making sure to fix her more than Kassandra was able to.

We remained in the sitting room as we waited for her body to return from surgery. Allegra was pacing the room as we waited. It was clearly obvious that she worried deeply about her sister. We all were. She was one of us and so were the new honorary members we acquired over the following six months.

"I want to find more like me." Russell spoke up after a long silence. Luca and Allegra looked to him.

"You're not going alone." Luca mentioned looking to Allegra who, in turn, looked to me. Her face was pained and her thoughts told of her constant change: join what would possibly be the last two Seers or stay to ensure her sister's safety.

"They need a protector." I smiled. "Don't worry. I'll tell her you're sorry and that you'll be back soon." After a long pause she smiled.

"Thank you." She hugged me before leaving Elsie and I alone in the hospital waiting room.
