Shane's POV
The scene unfolding as burst into the warehouse made my blood freeze. Skye; who had her hands and feet chained together; was lying unconscious in that monsters arms, blood dripping from her neck. All around them lay the corpses of previous victims. I couldn't believe that sick twisted bastard hadn't got rid of their bodies; instead he had just left them strewn across the floor.
I felt sick at the sight of them.
Aiming my crossbow at him I sent a bolt straight through that undead heart of his with a satisfying, if a little sickening thud. He exploded into a cloud of dust, letting Skye tumble helplessly to the ground. I heard Kier curse and make his way over to her. My vision began to blur.
"Hey don't cry." Drew said, wrapping his arms around me in a sympathetic hug. "You saved her, she's gonna be fine."
"I hope so." I mumbled. I would never forgive myself if she died. He led me back to the hotel, Kier following carrying Skye and Laurence and Luke set the place on fire. The streets were so empty. The towns inhabitants terrified to walk the streets in the dark.
"Is…is she still…" My voice broke and I couldn't bring myself to finish the question.
"Yeah, she's still alive. Thanks god." Kier replied.
~Two Days Later~
Me and Kier hadn't left Skye's side in days and I was beginning to lose hope that she'd ever wake up. Kier looked awful, mainly from lack of sleep but he wasn't really eating either.
"You really should sleep, you know." I said. Kier just glanced at me before resuming his routine of watching Skye's face like a hawk. That was another thing, he hadn't spoken a word since he had told me that Skye was still alive on the day we rescued her the second time. I'd been thinking a lot over the past two days. Thinking about how short life is and how many times I had almost died at the hand of a vampire. That was a long time ago now. So far into the past that it hardly even mattered. No one but Drew knew everything that had happened in my past. He was the one who convinced me to become a vampire killer. I had watched vampires kill my family slowly, painfully, in the worst ways possible. They had almost killed me too but I ran. I had ran to the house of my best friend, Drew. Little did I know that he was a vampire killer. He killed them quickly, a stake through the heart, and with minimal fuss. When I got over the shock of the whole experience; Drew explained what he was and the current vampire situation, he also said that if I wanted to join the fight that I could. Of course I agreed. You'd be crazy not to! And look where I ended up. Watching over a young girl who had been unconscious for the past two days. Her eyelids fluttered slightly.
"Skye!" Kier exclaimed, jumping to his feet and grabbing one of her hands. Slowly her eyes began to open,. I raced into the other room where Laurence, Luke and Drew were waiting for news.
"She's awake!" I shouted, happy for the first time for a long while.
"Thank god!" was the collective response. They all followed me back through to the other room, where Kier and Skye were.
