Aries: Chapter 11
Not only was Riley hurt, he was pissed at the fact that Aries would have anything to do with Spike. In an unstable rage, Riley swung at Aries and missed. He swung again, and this time his fist connected with the side of Aries' face. Aries automatically hit a punch and kick combo. The two continued to fight and have words for an hour before Riley collapsed onto the floor.
"Oh my God! Riley! What's the matter? Are you all right? Please answer me Riley!" Aries yelled at him as she rushed over and tried to help him. Yet Riley was too proud to accept any help, much less help from a girl who was in love with a bloodsucking vampire.
"Get away! I can help myself! I don't need you! Why don't you go to your vampire and leave me alone?"
"I can't Riley! You need help! You're hurt!"
By the time Aires got Riley to the hospital, it was almost too late for him. Riley was missing a good amount of blood from the two distinct wound marks on his neck. He was also bleeding internally. Aries sat there in the chair next to his bed, crying and wishing that she had told Riley about Spike and her earlier.
God, Heavenly Father, I know I haven't been one to pray recently, but God, please, I've lost too many people in my life that have cared for me. Please, I beg You, don't take Riley or William from me. I pray this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
To be continued…
