One of the Pastor's henchmen fired a second shot at Sky, though it missed and hit Liz, who crumpled to the floor. Sky roared in horror and snapped his neck in a half second, then under attack by the other three, didn't see Liz stumble away into the forest. Elena and Stefan had been rescued, and she had seen the third vampire escape too, though now with the Pastor's men at her feet, she smelt the trail of blood Liz had left.
She followed it cautiously. The smell of blood, after 800 long years barely registered, though for some reason an iron clad grip was commanding her not to hurt Liz. Sky realised she would rather die. She was now in the thick of the forest by the Pastor's cattle ranch, and heard Liz whimpering. Stepping to the right, the moonlight caught Liz's face as she lay against a nearby tree. It was twisted in pain, and Sky saw they had shot her in the stomach. She quickly calculated Liz would be dead in roughly ten minutes if she didn't get to her.
She sped towards her, and within seconds was by her side. Liz's face was shiny with sweat, and her hands her clenched in an effort not to scream out. She looked at Sky, and tried to slow her breathing, in a clumsy effort to appear braver to the beautiful vampire. Sky, saying nothing, bit her own wrist and offered it to Liz.
"No," Liz grimaced, remembering her own husband's fate when he became a vampire.
Sky looked hurt, and then this raw emotion was replaced with true anger.
"In ten minutes, your stomach acid will have spread through your bloodstream, and you will be dead. I can't get you to a hopsital before that, so either you take my blood, or I leave you here to die."
Her wrist was now dripping with blood, onto Liz's thigh.
Liz looked miserably at Sky, but then took her wrist, and held it to her mouth. And sucked.
Sky bit her tongue in an effort not to moan in pleasure as the human drank her blood. Liz pulled her wrist in close, and then Sky's whole body was pressed against her. Liz felt Sky's large breasts mould into her side, and her leg between hers. Seconds passed, and Liz let go, and already she could feel the searing pain in her stomach fade. The sat in silence for minutes, Liz aware of every movement of Sky's body. They were still touching.
Sky then stood up, and every part of Liz went cold.
"I'll take you home now."
Liz didn't argue, but she stood up, ignoring Sky's help, and walked back to the car.
