Jack burst through the door to Lucy's room.
"Professor Van Helsing!" Jack cried, striding towards the old man. "What's wrong with Lucy?"
Van Helsing frowned, guiding Jack towards Lucy's bed.
"Her symptoms have returned…" He said gravely, parting Lucy's hair to show fresh marks on her throat.
"When did this happen?" Jack asked.
"Sometime during the night." Van Helsing replied quietly.
Jack growled.
"I should have been there for her…I should have been here! Instead of…" He trailed off, the memories of the previous night returning slowly.
His tormented thoughts were interrupted by a small sweet voice from below him.
"Jack…" The voice whispered,
"You came to see me!" Lucy smiled, holding her hand out weakly.
Jack dropped to his knees and kissed Lucy's hand gently.
"Of course I did Lucy," He said. "I'm sorry that I wasn't here…"
Lucy laughed lightly.
"Please Jack, it's alright…I know that you're busy with your work…"
Jack frowned. I wouldn't classify this morning as work… He thought, blushing lightly.
"What's wrong Jack?" Lucy Asked.
Jack cleared his throat.
"It's nothing dear," He forced a smile. "You should try and rest up…"
Lucy nodded tiredly, her eyelids drooping.
When she was asleep, Jack looked back up at Van Helsing.
"What's causing this?" He asked feebly, not expecting an answer. Van Helsing shook his head.
"I can't understand it myself; much less explain it to you…"
Jack sighed, standing up. Van Helsing followed; he grabbed Jack's shoulder and turned him around, staring quizzically.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I need to stop by the Asylum to…pick up a few things…I'll be right back…" Jack mumbled, stepping out of the door.
Hm. What a strange man... Van Helsing thought, sitting back down to watch Lucy's progress.
