The girl was losing the fight; her hands, once trying to push the
vampire off were now slipping down to hang by her sides. Her head hung
back, a mix of red and blond curls fell back behind her. The demon just
continued consuming what was quickly becoming the last of her blood. Jack
knew he had to act fast, or else it would be too late. It may be too late
anyway. He had followed the animal from the street, not realizing that it
was hunting. Jack was running as fast as he could, stake in hand ready to
drive it into the vampire's back.
Before the creature realized what was happening, he was dust on the girl's shirt. The only sound she made was a startled gasp. Without the vampire holding her up, she began to fall against the brick wall. Jack grabbed her in his arms, her green eyes opened slightly; a little life left in them. "That'll teach me to walk in a dark alley alone.." She gave a slight smile before she lost consciousness. He could see the raw puncture wounds on her pale neck; he wished he had gotten to her sooner.
Jack picked the girl up in his arms and carried her to his pick-up; she wasn't aware of what was happening, but when he held her she curled her body closer to his. He didn't want to put her down, but time was ticking by; he gently slid her onto the car seat next to him. Her head resting on his lap, he hoped that it would help the bite stop bleeding. He only had so much time to get her to a hospital before the blood loss killed her. He looked for the nearest emergency medical center, brushing a red and blond strand from her face while he drove. She moved a bit, tossed her head to the side. "It's okay, you were in an accident; but you're okay now." Jack smoothed her hair, her eyes fluttered open. "I'm Jack, what's your name?"
"Nicole.My name's Nicole." She squeezed her eyes tightly for a moment before opening them again. "That man, he bit me." She reached up and tentatively touched the wound on her neck. "He said he was.." She was afraid to say the word.
"He's gone now, he can't hurt you; I promise. I'm taking you to a hospital, just try to relax." Jack continued stroking her hair, soon after Nicole past out. It wasn't more than a few minutes before he found an emergency center. After making sure Nicole was stable, and the center contacted her friend; he left. He decided that for him to stay would be too much for Nicole to handle. If she remembered everything from the attack then she would have all the answers she needed; if she had memory loss, then she was the better for it. The doctors would come up with some plausible reason for the two punctures on her neck and the severe blood loss, they do often enough.
"A girl like Nicole doesn't get caught up in otherworldly things, and that's what I do. Too bad, she was cute." He tried not to think about Nicole but his mind kept wandering back to her; about how soft her skin felt when he picked her up, how she arched closer to him. He didn't want to dwell on such thoughts; they weren't good for a guy like him. He had work to do; he couldn't afford to be distracted. Jack returned to the park; the place he worked to keep safe. Tonight Jack's mind would be on that red head in the hospital, not on the job at hand.
My first fanfic, please be nice. Constructive criticism ext. I'll probably introduce Angel characters in the next chapter.
