Chapter Eight: Endless Dark
The wind felt nice on his persperated brow. Instead of his normal, graceful landings; he landed in a heap.
Ville dragged himself to his feet and trudged along the street of Manhattan.
To any idiot who dared ask him what happened, he would just mumble something about a bar fight.
While taking a short cut through central park, he tripped over a root and fell on his stomach. He grabbed some grass and rolled himself over; groaning in agony.
It was too big of a wound for him to heel on his own; he needed Faith.
It would be weak, but be needed to use his telepathy. Thank god that's something they shared.
Faith, can you hear me. It sounded kind of stupid, but it was harder when you couldn't see each other and even harder when you didn't know where they were. He was hoping that she was somewhere near her home.
Ville, are you ok? I can see your pain.
Ville would never get use to her freaky fortune teller thingy.
Help me! I can see the peaks of dawn on the horizon and I can't move.
Where are you? Her "voice" in the back of Ville's head was urgent.
Central park, hurry! He gasped in pain as the rays began to penetrate his delicate and weakened body.
Not two seconds later he was being pulled to his feet and a heavy black cloak was thrown over his shoulders. The hood came down over his eyes.
No doubt it was Faith boyfriend, Frank Iero. He was also cloaked. He was small, but muscular. He easily picked up Ville just has he was about to collapse. Ville's legs hung over one arm, his back resting against another. Ville's body went numb and his head fell against Frank's hard chest; Frank teleported them back to Faith's house.
Of all the special and unique abilities of Vampires, he appreciated Frank's the most right now.
Ville, unable to keep his eyes open; heard the flowing of heavy fabric and quick footsteps.
"Faith?" he gasped, keeping his eyes shut; reaching out his hand. A small, delicate hand grasped his and gave it a light squeeze.
"I'm here. What's happened to you?" Concern filled her voice. He could feel her eyes searching his form; she wouldn't see much with this cloak. "Frankie, bring him over to the table." She commanded.
Ville was set on a hard surface; the cloak, his jacket, shirt and blood stained jeans were all removed. Then he was gently laid back.
"Bloody Hell!" He cried out loudly as his wound was stretched out. He would only guess he was in the operating room. Faith was the best Vampiric doctor that ever walked this earth. She also happened to his best friend; pretty much his sister.
"Who did this?"
"Work now, ask questions later," he cried out desperately.
"Right!" shoving the emotions aside and brought forward the professional feelings. "Wood fragments; a poorly carved stake."
Ville felt tweezers enter the still throbbing, oozing cut. "FUCK!" Ville's eyes flew open and the almost shot up and would have if Frankie hadn't held him down.
"Ville, it's going to hurt a whole hell of a lot worst if you would have gotten those tweezers impaled into you side!" Faith said, getting frustrated.
It was about this time that Ville past out from lack of blood, energy, and pain.
------
A hazy stream of moon light shone through the now open sky light.
Ville blinked at the mild light and tried to sit up.
"Fuck!" Searing pain shot to every nerve in his body. Falling back onto his elbows, he lowered his eyes to his chest.
A pale line stretched from his shoulder to some where below the cashmere blanket that was covering... yeah… since his boxers where laying elsewhere.
He eased himself off the table, grabbing at the blanket before it went… anywhere. Wrapping it around his waist and gathering it in one hand; he slowly made his way out of the operating room.
He vaguely remembered this castle. The last he had been here was about 100 years ago. But it was a short trip; but he did remember Faith and him running around while it still belonged to her parents. She and him would catch the silver dollar sized spiders that roamed the house freely.
Ville slowly made his way down the main stair way to the entrance hall. The large wooden front door cracked open at the very moment that he reached the bottom stair.
Two very large wolves wrested their way through the door. One white as the moon and the other as black as night. They caught a whiff of Ville and began growling at him. Ville stopped in his tracks; he really didn't like wolfs. Then he heard laughter from outside and Faith and Frank walked in. They noticed their animals on end, and then noticed Ville as frozen as ice at the base of the stairs.
"Easy Ry…"Faith cooed, using her melodic tongue of persuasion; petting the white ones head. Frankie reached out to the black hound and scratched his head, "S'ok Andy. Ville, you look like you've seen a ghost."
"What happened?" referring to after he passed out.
"Considering you've been out for 4 months… a lot," Frank teased.
"4 MONTHS!!" Ville said, almost dropping the blanket. He had to support himself on the banister. 4 months.

Ok, so this chapter would have been a lot longer, but it was also sounding like I was rambling. So I cut it into two separate chapters with a little Vivian in the middle. So until next time with that. I want to thank everyone for the reviews. They really mean a lot to me. I LUV YOU ALL!!
