CHAPTER SEVEN

Kisa pulled Laura into the house and shut the door behind her.

"What happened to you?" Kisa asked, frightened by her appearance.

"They tried to kill me…"

"Who tried to kill you?"

"I can't go home. They know where I live and they've been invited in…I can't go back there, I can't.." Laura cried. Kisa noticed she was shaking.

"Go upstairs and clean yourself up. I'm going to make you some tea."

"O-Okay." Laura said. She walked over to the stairs and climbed them. Kisa sighed. She then walked back into the dining room where Kayla sat at the table still eating her parfait. She smiled at her then went into the kitchen and grabbed the phone from the base that hung on the wall. She dialed Emma's number and listened as it rung. After three rings, Emma picked up the phone. "Hello." She said.

"Emma."

"Hey Kisa."

"Are you working today?" She asked.
"No, I'm off today. Why?"

"I need you to come here right away."

"Why? What's going on?"

"It's Laura, she just came here with her clothes torn, covered in blood and I need you here so Kayla won't see her."

"I'll be there in 10 minutes." Emma said hanging up.

"Kisa." She heard Kayla say.

"I'm coming sweetheart." Kisa walked back to the kitchen, "Are you all done?" She asked.

"Yes." She said nodding her head. Kisa took the cup off the table and placed it in the sink. She then picked Kayla up, "Let's get you clean and dressed." She said walking over to the stairs.

"Can I take a bath with bubbles?" She asked. Kisa smiled at her,

"Of course you can." Kisa walked up the stairs and directly to the bathroom. She let Kayla down and turned on the water. She set a cool temperature then poured some bubble bath liquid in the tub.

"You can get in." Kayla undressed and climbed into the tub. Kisa let the tub fill half way before turning off the water. "Play with your bath toys. I'll be right back." The girl nodded her head. Kisa grabbed the toys from the cabinet under the sink. She then placed them in the tub.

"I'm going to come right back and bath you up and wash your hair. Okay?"

"Okay." Kisa walked out of the bathroom and headed down the hall to her bedroom where she was certain Laura had went. She walked into the room and Emma sitting on her bed, wrapped in a towel and clean.

"Laura." She said. She looked over to her,

"I can't home."

"Why is that?" Kisa asked walking over to her. She shook her head, "What happened last night when we left Laura?"

"I don't know…everything happened so fast." Kisa sat beside her on the bed.

"Were you attacked on your way home? I know you had to walk.."

"Vampires," She whispered looking at her, "Eric didn't want me so I…I offered myself to someone else."

"Who?"

"It wasn't a singular person."

"What?"

"There were three vampires."

"Three? Laura, you didn't.."

"I did. I thought I could handle it and the sight of them all shirtless with bulging muscles…I was so turned on I just, went for it. I thought it was a nice and erotic idea at first but things change once they started feeding."

"What happened?" Kisa asked looking at her.

Laura inhaled, "I've given myself a death sentence…I killed one of the vampires. I staked him because he was getting carried away and wouldn't stop…He just wouldn't stop feeding Kisa. I could have died! I had no choice."

Kisa shook her head, "Oh my god." She whispered.

"I don't know how I escaped but I did and I know once night falls, they will be looking for me. And they'll find me." She said beginning to cry as she spoke.

"Why did you do that Laura?"

"I told you, I had no choice!"

"They will track your scent here. My little sister safety is now threatened."

"I'm sorry Kisa, I didn't mean to bring you into this, but I have no other place to go!" The doorbell rung.

"That's Emma, go and let her in and let her know what happened. I have to bath up Kayla and dress her. I'll find you something of mine to wear."

Laura stood, "I'm so sorry."

"It'll be alright…we'll figure something out somehow." She nodded then walked out of the room. Kisa stood there a moment and let out a heavy sigh before walking out of the room and heading back down to the bathroom.

~_~

"How could you have been so stupid Laura?" Emma said after she had been caught up to what he had happened.

"I wasn't thinking about any consequences, I was afraid if I didn't kill him that he would kill me." Laura said.

"You know they will hunt you down and won't stop until you are punished. And you know the punishment will be severe because by now, Eric knows…They've bought this vampire trouble to Kisa's home and to little Kayla. What you did was incredibly stupid!"

"I said I was sorry and that I had not other choice. If I hadn't killed him, I would be the one dead!"

Kisa just sat there, not saying anything. She had called Francis who returned to the house and took Kayla out with her. Kisa did not want Kayla to be around for the current conversation.

"This is what happens when you spend whole life on your back." Emma said.

"Excuse me?" Laura asked.

Emma nodded, "Yeah. None of this would be happening if you weren't so goddamn loose."

"Loose?"

"Promiscuous, slutty…there I said it."

"So you're saying that I deserve to die for being flirtatious?"

"Flirtatious? yeah right. You taking flirting to the next level Laura. How many times has your promiscuous behavior gotten you into trouble?"

"It's never been this much trouble. No one ever died." Laura said.

"This time, we're all at risk."

"I said I was sorry damnit! How many times do I have to say it?!"

"You don't have to say it again…it won't fix any of this." Kisa said. Emma and Laura looked at her.

"Then what do we do?" Laura asked. Kisa shrugged,

"I have no idea…I've never been in a situation like this."

"When night falls, Eric will track me here."

"He can't come in unless he's invited." Emma said.

"He is the sheriff of this area. If he comes on 'police' business, you have to invite him in." Laura said softly, "I shouldn't have come here."

"No you shouldn't have come here. You've put Kisa and Kayla in a dangerous situation." Emma said. Laura stood,

"Fine I'll leave but I don't want you at my funeral." Laura said.

"Laura," Kisa said, "You're not going to die."

"They will kill me. They'll imprison me then torture me before killing me brutally."

"We won't let it come to that."

"How can we stop it?" Laura asked her voice shaky.

Emma sighed, "Laura…we won't let you die. The way you live your life is truly your business and you will be my friend regardless."

"I know that Emma."

"I'm so scared…"

"We won't let them take you." Kisa said.

"We can't fight them…they'll kill us all. Kisa, you have to be here for Kayla."

"Kisa…do you think that possibly Eric is smitten with you?" Emma asked looking at her.

"What?" She asked.

"He seemed interested."

"Not interested in me or by me, just my blood…What does that have to do with this situation?"

"Maybe there could be some sort of trade."

"Trade me? I'm not an object."

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean? I don't want to give myself to that man or to a vampire at all. I don't want to lose my innocence because of a stupid decision. Besides, I doubt he will agree to that. A vampire was killed by a human, there will be no toleration of that and we know that. Everyone knows this," Kisa looked at Laura and Emma, "There will be nothing but blood…"

SHOULD KISA OFFER HERSELF AND LET ERIC "TAKE HER"? DRINK FROM HER? HAVE SEX WITH HER? WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?
