Kate grabbed her neck as she slunk down Henry's car and landed on the ground with a thud. Henry turned and vamped out as he smelled fresh blood as well as hearing the man barreling toward them. It was David, the kid that Christina had fed from and used. He wasn't a full vampire but something had changed within him. He had the hunger, Henry could feel it. He felt hunger, fear, anger and confusion in the young man. Henry tried to stop him at first by speaking to him.

"Stop, you can't do this," Henry commanded. David lunged again the knife barely missing Henry's face. Henry tossed him into the building leaving an indentation in the metal.

"No..she's dead, I must bring her back with fresh blood. It has to work, it will work. I can't live without her, what's happening to me? I I can do this. The young girl, she will do it for me but I'm hungry, I'm so hungry and nothing feeds me," he growled. Henry saw that his eyes were full of confusion and his mind was scrambled, out of sorts. Henry couldn't read him well because he wasn't a human but he wasn't a vampire either, he was something horrid in between. This happened rarely but he had seen it a few times.

"What the hell happened to him and how did he get out so fast?" Mike's eyes were wide as he stared at the creature. He wasn't a vampire but he did have some change in his apperance. He had distorted teeth, not fangs really just pointy animal teeth which explained the tearing and ripping of the victim's throat. His eyes were almost catlike, not black like the other vampires Mike had seen.

"My momma got me out, she loved me too," he said crying slightly. Loved. Mike caught that past tense verb. Shit! He'd killed his own mother.

"Henry, you've got to take care of him, let me get Coreen and check on Christina," Mike told Henry. Henry and David were circling each other. David was lashing out at Henry but Henry ducked out of the way each time. Mike opened the unit and there sat Coreen tied to a chair. Bloody and scared but otherwise unharmed, Mike saw her tear up as she blinked and realized he was really there. Mike glanced around the room and finally saw the only thing in the room, a coffin. It was sealed for now but he wanted to get Coreen out first then come back for the contents.

"Henry, I've got her. Do what you need to do." Mike scooped Coreen up and ran her back to the car. Before arriving, her heard Vicki's screams.

"Mike, hurry! It's Kate," Vicki was squatting on the ground beside Kate, pressing her hands to her neck. She had wadded up her sweater and was using it to put pressure on her gaping wound. Mike put Coreen down and dropped to Kate's side. Vicki glanced at Coreen assessing her quickly by giving her a once over trying to discern if she was hurt.

"Are you okay?" Vicki aske her assistant. Coreen nodded yes and stared at Kate.

"Kate! Kate..hang in there," Mike called 911 and watched frantically as Kate continued to lose massive amounts of blood.

"Let me take over, " Coreen offered. "Go to Henry, help him Vicki." Mike barely registered what Coreen had said, his eyes full of fear as he looked down at Kate. Vicki went against Henry's orders and headed to the fight which was now in full swing. Henry had David by the throat, dangling him in the air. His feet were kicking at Henry but missing him each time, his hands clawed at Henry's hand trying to pry it away from his neck. He was choking from the force of Henry's vise-like grip around his windpipe.

"Let me go!"David yelled as he fought in vain. David was a freak of nature, something went wrong in the process and would now pass that on as long as he was around...alive not being the right word. Vicki watched as Henry brought him to his mouth and bit into his neck. As blood spurted everywhere, David began to spasm and jerk, screaming out in pain. Henry continued to drain him never once letting up. Vicki's eyes widened at the display of Henry's beast, his dark side. She wasn't frightened but intrigued that Henry could be the sweetest, kindest most loving creature but under it all was this beastly vampire, this dark side that wasn't to be tamed. She liked it, she wasn't giong to lie, she really liked it. It turned her on but that tidbit she would keep to herself. After sufficienty draining him, Henry turned, blood still dripping from his mouth and asked what she was doing there.

"Mike's a little busy. Let's go make sure she's dead." Vicki started into the unit.

"She's dead, but fine, I'll show you myself." As Vicki started into the unit, Mike yelled for Henry.

"Just go, I'll be fine." Vicki told Henry.

"Don't open it, wait," Henry told her sternly.

Sure..she would wait..NOT...

Vicki waited just a moment and went in. She stood staring at the coffin but didn't move forward an inch. She heard a sound behind her and turned to see Christina standing before her looking different.

"Christina, what the hell? Back from the dead are ya? Huh..stealing other's greatness I see?" Vicki hoped she could stall until Henry returned.

"I'm not Christina," the woman told her.

"Riiiight, and I'm not one crazy ass private investigator, okay," Vicki said with a cock of her head.

"Vicki," Christina, or what looked like her, took a step forward, "it's me, in spirit. I did come to you in your bathroom. I wanted to tell you I'm sorry, for everything."

Vicki nearly fainted in shock....
