Ch 12

Wynter jumped over Vicki's head landing in the middle of the street. The screech of tires was heard as a van ran into Wynter causing her to burst into a gooey substance. Vicki looked at the windshield wipers clearing the goo and she could see Henry smiling.

'Took you long enough.' She said half smiling as he got out of the van.

Inside of the club Coreen was in the small storage room on a deck using a fire extinguisher to kill the bugs that were moving closer to her. Kerrie and Mike had finally gotten through the crowd and she spotted the guy that he been following Coreen as the only person still in the club at the bar.

'Where is she?' Kerrie said glaring at the man.

'She's dead by now. Wynter gave her straight venom and the bugs are sure to have had a good meal.' Mike pulled out his gun and put it to the man's head.

'Show us where she is.' Kerrie took a deep breath hoping her friend was still alive.

'She's in there.' He said stopping in the hallway.

'You first.' Mike said pushing him through the door.

'You came!' Coreen said in relief noticing the bugs were gone. She jumped off the desk and hugged Kerrie.

'Thank goodness you guys got here or I was gonna be a meal.' Mike cuffed the guy and headed outside with him with the girls behind him.

'Coreen, your ok.' Vicki said with a smile.

'I have a few bites but I think I'll live.'

'Come on you should get checked out.' Kerrie helped Coreen over to a cab as Vicki talked to Henry. Mike put the guy in his car and watched as the girls cab drove towards the hospital.

After two hours at the hospital Coreen was seen as Kerrie waited in the waiting room. She glanced up to see Mike walking through the door.

'How is she?'

'Ok, just getting checked out by the doctor.' Mike sat in the chair across from Kerrie. She looked different now that all her make-up was washed off and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.

'I came to drive you girls home.'

'Thanks that's really nice of you.' Kerrie said half smiling.

'I accidentally heard about you talking about Christina when you were in the club.'

'Better you then Vicki.'

'Is she as bad as you made her out to be?'

'I've met a few vamps in my life and she is the coldest and most vicious by far. I was 19 when she came after me. I was working on getting ghosts out of another vamp's house. Caleb is a lot like Henry, he wants to blend in and acts like an average person. He actually changed a friend of mine and I've been helping him out with any spirits or spells. She wanted me to go against Caleb and when I said no she tried to bite me. I held her off for a good ten minutes throwing every dark spell I knew at her. Lucky for me Caleb showed up and scared her off.'

'That was the last time you saw her?'

'I saw her earlier tonight. She was watching Coreen and I.'

'Do you think she'll go after anyone?'

'As long as Henry does what she wants we're all safe for now. She'll want to come after me since I didn't bend to her ways.'

'You girls shouldn't be alone then.' Mike was interrupted by Coreen walking over with a bottle of pills.

'Nothing serious I just have to take these for a day.'

'Coreen, I want you and Kerrie to stay with me until Christina is taken care of.' Coreen glanced as Kerrie who looked tense.

'It's almost morning. She isn't going to come after us today.' Kerrie said as Coreen nodded.

'Then at dark I want to see you two down at the station.' Both girls nodded as they followed Mike out to his car.

'Hey Kerrie, what is your boss gonna say about your extended time off?'

'I have a serious sinus infection.' Kerrie said smirking.

'Your bad.'

'I'm thinking of leaving the school anyway. It's too much of the same.' Mike pulled over at a diner.

'Are you girls hungary?'

'Your a mind reader.' Kerrie said getting out of the car.

Coreen smiled to herself, she knew it those two were going to end up together.
