Chapter 13
I fell asleep in the car, although it was a light sleep due to the pain I was in.
Ethan brought me into the house and took me straight to his room.
"How are you?" Ethan asked me in a whisper.
"I'm fine. Go make the phone calls." I told him, then fell asleep.
***
I woke up to find Sita sitting next to me.
"How are you?" She asked me. The question was becoming a little bit annoying.
"Fine. What time is it? where's Ethan?" I asked, seeing the light coming through the shades.
"It's about 2:00 in the afternoon and Ethan is in the closet," Sita said. "Ethan wanted me to sit with you until he woke up. He told me to tell you not to move and the Night Worlders would be here about five."
"Thank you, Sita." I said then fell into a light doze.
When I woke up again, it was around 5:00. Ethan was sitting next to me.
"Kerry? Thierry, James, and Quinn are here. I've already told them what you want and they've agreed. First up, James."
"Thanks, Ethan."
James appeared then, his brown eyes filled with an infinite sadness as he gazed at me.
He came over to the bed and I tipped my head to the side to allow him full access. He leaned in and I felt his teeth sink into my neck.
I felt none of the earth-shaking feeling I felt with Ethan when we were just touching as ames drank.
After about a minute, he pulled back and cut his wrist. I fed off his wrist, knowing this was what Poppy had done about five years before.
When James carefully pulled his wrist away, he left the room.
The next day the same thing happened, but with Quinn. And each time, surprisingly I felt more energetic and my pains seemed to grow less and less.
On the third blood exchange, after I finished drinking the blood from Thierry's wrist, I was incredibly sleepy. I closed my eyes and the rest was silence.

Chapter 14
When I opened my eyes up next, it was to see Ethan leaning over me.
"Hello," I whispered to him and he pulled me into his arms.
"How are you? How do you feel?" Ethan said, searching my face for any sign of pain.
"I'm fine," I said, then I started having pains in my chest and I felt like I was suffocating to death.
"Thea!" Ethan yelled and Thea came rushing in. She held out her wrist toward me and I felt my canines elongate. Carefully, so as not to hurt her, I bit into her wrist and began to drink.
A couple seconds later I pulled away, the pain gone.
"I love you," I said to Ethan and pulled his head down for a kiss.
***
Ethan and I went to see my father the next night. I had "disappeared" about two weeks before.
It took us a while to get my father calmed down enough to explain to him that someone had taken me from the hospital and had performed a miracle: I wasn't going to die!
Dad wanted me to go to the hospital for tests, but I quickly got him to change his mind.
I wanted to go home with Ethan, but knew my dad wanted me to stay with him. I decided to stay with my dad for that night. After all, I had an eternity to spend with Ethan.
My first love. My only love.
