Blood Ties 2: Part 1
Vicky knew that she was a private investigator and all, but she didn't think that she was a supernatural investigator as well. Vicky was in the middle of a case that was very strange and she was very nervous about it. After all, it was the biggest case she had all month. Flipping through the yellow pages and eating stale lo mien from the refrigerator, she found an old note that she had written to Mike about dinner at the old Chinese place down the street. Vicky smiled a little. Man, those were the good days. I wish we could still do that. Stop it! Stop feeling guilty. You don't even know if you love him or not. What am I talking about? Of course I love him! I just don't know if I want that kind of love and relationship anymore. I mean it is the same old thing over and over. He doesn't even accept my job anymore….well maybe he does a little, but oh, I don't know! It is not like I can tell him about these marks, that I am a demon sacrifice and that I will more than likely die this week! God, I wish Henry were here. But wishing is only wishing. No more. Vicky sat down on the couch and propped her feet up. A little while later she fell asleep.
When Vicky felt someone's hand on her face caressing her cheek, she jumped up with a cocked gun and said,
"What the…?".
Vicky started cussing a blue streak when she realized that it was just Henry.
"Henry, you were supposed to wait till I got there to talk to me. Not right now! JEEZ! Do you realize you could have been shot?" Henry just smiled, then said,
Henry looked at her with dark eyes and slightly bared teeth and said, "You would not have gotten a shot off before you would have been dead yourself. Now, stop pointing that thing at me and tell me why you called me."
Vicky glared at him and then put the gun back in her holster and reached for a yellow file folder that was lying on the table. Henry calmed down a little and walked over to Vicky and reached for her hand. She looked at him with a little bit of fear, but also with some excitement as well. To cover her immediate attraction to him and desire for more than just holding hands with him, she continued to open the file and pulled out a picture of incisions and scars on a girl's dead body. Henry looked at the picture and then looked at Vicky. Vicky turned away from Henry and went to get some coke and rum in her glass. After a minute or so she said,
"I'm not sure how long it took them to carve those markings on her wrists, however I do no that they are demonic marks and that from what I have gathered from various resources, those marks are for human sacrifices. I also know that I have those same marks and I have had them for about a month now. That girl died within two days of getting those marks. Now, you tell me, what in the hell am I supposed to do, Henry!? What if they come for me next?"
Vicky sat back down on the couch and sighed. This was pretty flipping scary. What am I going to do? I can't stay inside for the rest of my life and Henry can only protect me for part of the time. That demon came back and he is not going to rest until I die and he gets his sacrifice. God! I wish I never quit the force! Vicky took a sip from her glass and turned to Henry. Henry had sat down on the coffee table next to her and then said,
"Look, I know this is a scary thing for you to have to deal with. I am not disputing that. But, you have got to be strong and face this. We are saving people together. And I will always be here for you. Just because I am a vampire does not mean that I am not good at being a vampire. I will not let anyone hurt you." Henry reached his hand up and caressed her cheek, and then kissed her. "I will stay here tonight. So go to bed and don't worry about tonight. We will talk some more in the morning."
Vicky got up and walked to her hallway leading to her bedroom. Then, hesitated, but then turned back around and walked to Henry and kissed him on the lips and hugged him. Then said,
"Thank you, Henry. For being here and for protecting me. I realize that I can get a little annoying sometimes, but I really like you and I thought you should know that."
Henry grinned, and then said, "I know Vicky, now go to bed. I will be here till one hour before dawn." Then added with a bit of amusement and sarcasm, "Then I must go. I need my sleep as well. Now, go to bed princess."
Vicky beamed a smile at him and then waved good night. She got into her bed in her room and after a while of restless dreaming and tossing and turning, she called out to Henry.
She called him into the room and said "Henry?"
"Yeah?!"
"Could you come in here and sleep with me. I mean you don't have to sleep on the bed, but maybe on the floor or something." Henry grinned a little and then walked over to the bed and climbed onto the sheets and laid down next to her with her under the sheets. Then he said,
"Is that better?"
"Yes, thank you Henry."
Then she snuggled closer to his chest and reached for his hand and held it tightly. After a while she kissed him softly and whispered, "You know, vampires aren't all that bad." Henry laughed, stroked her hair some more and then listened to her heartbeat as she fell asleep. Then he whispered, "You know, humans aren't all that bad either, but I guarantee that you are better than any human I have ever met Vicky. And that however may be the death of me." And with that Henry closed his eyes and listened to her heartbeat once more.
