…

His first instinct was to put a hand on Andy's leg, to reassure himself she was okay, and to let her know it would be okay.

The next was to run, to flee, but he didn't.

"You will all die tonight. Even the humans; those who befriend the likes of your kind don't deserve the pleasure of life."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Rory decided to play dumb – which wasn't a hard thing to do – but the vampire hunter didn't seem amused.

"Shut your mouth you monster before I shoot it off your pretty face." Rory closed his lips, knowing Andrea must be confused.

But when he glimpsed at her, he didn't see fear or confusion – he saw sadness, and regret maybe? He looked at Benny and Ethan to see if they looked the same way, but no, they looked terrified.

"Now, who should I kill first…?" The vampire hunter seemed to be thinking, and Rory was wondering what the best way to attack would be when Andrea stood up on her seat.

"Let them go."

"Excuse me?"

"Andy what are you doing?"

"Let them go."

"I don't think you get to make that decision Andrea."

"How do you know her name?"

"She's one too," Ethan said quietly, looking at her. She sighed and moved quickly, flipping over Rory's seat and landing next to the hunter.

"Leave them alone. They're good. They don't deserve to die."

"Yes they do."

"No they don't."

"You work for me. Don't go to changing your ways for love. It's a useless emotion. You know that."

"You can't do this."

"SHUT UP ANDREA! You're one of us. Why change your ways now? Because of these… losers?"

"They're not losers. They're great people. I found someone who shares my brain capacity," she said, looking at Ethan, "my humor," she said, this time focusing on Benny, "and someone that I care about," she said, looking at Rory now. "I might not have been here long, but I know when people mean a lot to me."

"You're the one that called me here! YOU ARE ONE OF US!"

"I was. I'm so sorry you guys," she said to them before lunging at the hunter, who shot at her in what looked like defense.

They all watched as Andy fell to the ground, a large wound in her chest that quickly began to leak blood.

"Andrea…." The hunter whispered, falling next to her; her chest continued to rise and fall, and her eyes were opened, but she didn't say anything. "This is all your fault. I will kill you all, one by one. Until she is avenged. Live in fear, for one day, I will make sure you pay."

With that, the vampire hunter left out of the window they had entered. When they were gone, Rory collapsed next to her, ignoring the way her blood smelled to scoop her into his arms.

"Rory… I'm sorry…" she said, eyes fluttering to stay open.

"Hold on baby, I'm gonna take you to someone who can fix you right up. Good as new." She whimpered as he lifted her up and looked at his friends. "I'm taking her to your grandma."

"We'll meet you there."

…

When Rory dropped the bleeding girl onto a sheet-covered couch, grandma wanted to freak.

"What did you do to her!?"

"Nothing! We were attacked by the vampire hunter while on our date." Grandma could only 'tut' and began to look over the pale girl on her couch. She was able to get the blood to stop with a wave of her hand, but this only left a big gaping hole in her chest that was red and raw. Grandma shivered and made a bandage appeared over it.

"This is nasty… That hunter means business. But why would it attack an innocent human like this?"

"I…I don't know."

She would have questioned him farther – you could just see her eyes burning with a million different questions – but Andrea opened her eyes then and let out a bloodcurdling scream of intense pain.

…

The pain was indescribable – sure, she knew it would be painful because she had helped design the guns, but this… this was more than she could bear.

And she was human. How could the vampires feel with this pain?

She could see Rory leaning over her, saying something – oh, how she wanted to reassure him that she was okay to a point, but she couldn't. Her mouth opened and closed briefly before the older woman in front of her waved her hand, making her body go slack.

…

"What did you do?!"

"I put her to sleep – she's in pain. This way she can be okay."

"Okay… Will you be able to fix her?"

"I'll do my best Rory. That's all any of us can hope for."

…

Their voices fluttered in and out of her mind – she could hear them talking about her right now.

"So she was the one who brought the hunter to us."

"She regretted it, you heard her."

"She sacrificed herself for us. She's one of us now."

"Or it could be a ploy to get our guard down and attack."

She heard a snarl before a voice talked over it.

"I think the big gaping hole in her chest begs to differ."

"I guess so…"

"Benny, she got hurt for us."

"Andy is good."

"I know… Just, she sent them after us."

"I don't think so. Not intentionally."

She faded out then, their words just a mumble in her thoughts.

…

When Andrea finally regained full consciousness, she found herself moved from the couch and into a bed – she could tell by the action figures and spell book that it was Benny's room. She had been clad in a large button down shirt and baggy sweatpants.

"You okay?" She blinked and saw Rory there next to her; she took a deep breath, feeling the bandage and raw tissue of the gun wound pull on her skin.

"Lucky to be alive."

"That you are." She frowned and reached for his hand, catching his eyes.

"I owe you, and Benny and Ethan, an explanation."

…

Well, let's see how that pans out next time, huh?

Yes, she was one of them. Is she still? Has she turned over a new leaf for love?

Guess we'll see, won't we?

See ya'll next time and thanks for reading.
