Discovering the Truth
Holly's feelings for Jack was growing with every passing moment, so were her nightmares. Holly couldn't sleep for every time she closed her eyes she saw the vampires.
Holly went looking for Jack, who was busy at the Exlicir. When Jack saw her he immediately went up to her.
" Are you okay?" Jack asked.
" The nightmares," Holly answered, " They keep me awake at night."
" I'm sorry," Jack said, " I wish I could tell you something that would make you feel better."
Holly couldn't help but have the thought of Jack staying her for one night.
" There is one thing you could do," Holly said, " Tell me the truth."
" I already have," Jack said, " Vampires don't exist."
" I believe you," Holly said, " Now maybe I can sleep at night."
" Holly," Jack said, " Try to concentrate on something fun and beautiful."
" You mean something like you?" Holly asked.
" You are so funny," Jack said laughing.
" And you are so.." Holly stopped as Jack suddenly kissed her.
" Wow," Holly said.
" You were saying," Jack said.
" Hot," Holly answered, " I'd better let you get back to work."
Holly smiled and then went out the door. Jack was disappointed in himself for he just lied to Holly.
That evening Holly sat in the park when she ran into Jamal.
" Jamal, " Holly said, " Why is it that when I am alone, here you are?"
" To protect you," Jamal said.
" To protect me from what?" Holly asked.
" The vampires," Jamal answered.
" There are no vampires," Holly said, " Jack told me."
" Oh, they are all around," Jamal said, " You're looking at one."
Holly pinched herself and she jumped back.
" Why did you just do that?" Jamal asked.
" I am not dreaming," Holly said, " This is real."
" Darn right it is," Jamal said," I need to satisfy my craving."
" No," Holly said stepping back, " Leave me alone."
Jamal sprang at her and Holly ran.
Meanwhile, Rafe and Alison were strolling in the park with Jack when they heard screaming.
" That sounds like Holly," Jack said running.
Rafe and Alison ran too only to see Jamal with Holly, who then collapsed.
" No," Jack said.
" I feel better," Jamal said.
" How could you?" Jack said, " Holly didn't deserve that."
" I got my fix," Jamal said.
" You killed her," Jack said.
" Either that," Jamal said, " Or she will turn into a vampire."
Jamal then ran away.
Jack leaned down and felt a weak pulse, but no response.
" I have to help her," Jack said.
" How?" Rafe asked, " In this case, Holly could die."
" That's what I am trying to avoid," Jack said picking up Holly's lifeless body.
" Where are you going?" Alison asked.
" To the springs," Jack said.
" The springs don't work," Alison reminded him.
" I have to try," Jack said, " I have to save Holly."
Jack just walked off with Holly in his arms hoping for a miracle.
