The Long Story
Jack watched as Holly slowly sat up.
" Are you okay?" Jack asked.
Holly just looked at him.
" Where am I?" Holly asked.
" My place," Jack answered.
" How did I get here?" Holly asked.
" I carried you here right after." Jack began to say.
" After Jamal," Holly said, " Oh my God, Jamal is.."
" A vampire," Jack said, " Holly I am so sorry."
" So vampires do exist," Holly asked, " And they are here in Port Charles?"
" Yes," Jack said, " I used to be one."
" Used to be?" Holly questioned, " I don't get it."
" No need to worry," Jack said, " I promise you I will protect you."
" Who else?" Holly asked, " Who else do I need protection from?"
" Caleb, Livvie, and a number of others," Jack said.
" And you think you can protect me?" Holly asked.
" Yes," Jack said.
" Okay," Holly said, " But how in the world did I survive this."
" I took you to the springs," Jack said, " I was hoping for a miracle."
" You saved me," Holly said.
" I had to," Jack said, " I care about you, I couldn't lose you."
" Jack," Holly said, " You saved my life."
" Like I said," Jack said, " I had to do something."
" Where is Jamal?" Holly asked.
" Not here," Jack said, " And if I could I would kill him."
" But it's hard to kill a vampire," Holly said.
" A part of me still considers Jamal a friend," Jack said.
" You are so sweet," Holly said, " You still want to be a friend to Jamal and protect me."
" I will protect you with my own life," Jack said, " Whatever I have to do."
" I guess you got your miracle," Holly said.
" I got more than that," Jack said.
" Thank you," Holly said.
" What are friends for," Jack said.
Holly just smiled; Jack indeed had his miracle.
Jamal again later that day when in search of Holly and Jack.
" I have orders to turn Holly," Jamal said, " She's here and I know she's alive."
Jamal went through the park and ran into Joshua.
" Where are you going?" Joshua asked.
" I am looking for Holly," Jamal answered, " I think I know where she is."
" Where else would she be?" Joshua asked, " Besides the hospital."
" Jack's apartment," Jamal answered.
Meanwhile Jack was talking to Holly about the whole story behind the vampires.
" That's incredible," Holly said, " How in the world did this all start?"
" I told you," Jack said, " I died and came back to life as a vampire."
" Then what cured you?" Holly asked, " I mean.. How?"
" It doesn't matter," Jack said, " What matters is that you are safe."
" For now," Holly said, " Am I going…"
Holly then got up and ran out the door. Jack followed her.
" Holly," Jack said.
Holly stopped and stared at him.
" I am going to become a vampire," Holly said.
" No," Jack said, " I think you are one of the lucky ones."
" Jack you have to tell me why you decided to save my life," Holly said.
" You don't get it do you," Jack said, " Holly I love you."
" Jack," Holly said, " I love you too."
" Then don't be afraid of me," Jack said, " And never be afraid of yourself."
