Dallas opened her eyes and looked around without moving. She searched her chest and stomach with her hands, looking for bullet wounds. Then she looked over to the chair in the corner. Deacon was sitting in it, watching her closely. He walked over and sat down on the bed. He ran his fingers down her cheek and smiled as she slowly sat up.
She placed her hand on his cheek and smiled at him. "I love you." She said softly. She leaned into him and they kissed passionately.
"I love you, too." He said.
They started kissing again and someone knocked on the door. "Deacon," Mercury's voice came through the door, "you need to get out here now."
He sighed in irritation and he and Dallas went out into the living room. "What now?" He asked.
"It's Blade. He and Katalyn are downstairs. I don't know how much longer the guards can hold them off." Quinn said.
"Let them come." Dallas said.
"What?" Deacon, Mercury, and Quinn said in unison, surprised.
"Let them come. Tell your men to stand down."
Deacon picked up his headset and held it to his ear. "Stand down." He said. "I repeat, all men stand down. Let them pass." He put his headset down and looked at Dallas. "I hope you know what you're doing."
"Trust me, baby."
A couple of minutes later, the elevator door opened and Blade and Katalyn stepped out.
"Dallas, are you okay?" Blade asked as he and Katalyn pointed their guns at the other three vampires.
"I'm fine, Eric."
"Good, let's go."
"I can't go with you."
"What?"
"I can't go with you."
Deacon stepped forward and grabbed her hand. Blade could tell by the look in his sister's eyes what she was trying to tell him. "Why'd you let him do it?"
"I had no choice, Eric. The vampire that killed our father came and tried to kill me," she said as she stepped closer to her brother, letting go of Deacon's hand. "If Deacon hadn't turned me, I'd be dead now. Try to understand, Eric."
Blade sighed and let his arms drop to his sides. "Let's go, Kat."
"What?" Katalyn said.
"Let's go." They headed to the elevator but Dallas stopped them.
"Eric." She said.
He stopped and turned to her. She walked to him and hugged him. He hugged her back then he and Katalyn got into the elevator.
"We could have taken all of them out." Katalyn said, looking up at Blade.
"I know."
"Why didn't we?"
He didn't respond. He didn't need to. She knew why he let them go. Dallas was in love with Deacon and Blade loved her and wanted her to be happy. She had already been turned so the best thing for her was to stay with Deacon. There wasn't very much more Blade could do for her now.
Back in the penthouse, Dallas turned to face Deacon. Tears ran down her cheeks as she looked at him.
"It's for the best, baby. There's nothing else you could have done." He said. He pulled her close and hugged her comfortingly.
