Amber and Jayleen finally had a chance to catch their breath.
"What the hell was that?"
Jayleen asks Amber while staring at the gun in her hands.
"I don't.. Know? When I saw you about to die, I got all scared and wanted to stop it!"
Without another word, the vampire lunges at and hugs Amber tightly. "Really.. Thank you."
"Yeah.. Wait. What about that boy?"
The two stand above the bleeding fallen angel with frowns.
"We can't just leave him here.." Amber mumbles while rubbing her face with her hands, brushing away sweat.
"Why not? He tried to kill me! I think it's fair!" Jayleen on the other hand begins to pace restlessly, fists bunched up at her sides.
"He's a kid! He looks younger than you!"
Amber sets her self down on her knees and pulls away the boy's outfit. His abdomen is solid and arms are firm. He must have worked out frequently.
She begins to untie his yellow belt and ties it around his wounded body, keeping it as tight as possible. It at least made the bleeding stop a little bit.
Jayleen finally sits down and hugs her legs, groaning into her knees. "This is messed up.. I've never killed anyone before. What if he comes back after us?"
Amber scoops her arms under Kyle's back and lifts him up. He's surprisingly light for her. "Maybe he'll not kill us? If we leave him out here, he might get worse.."
Jayleen stands back up and gives a defeated sigh. "Let's head home, then. We have a nurse for drawing blood in one of the houses. She should be able to help him."
Amber and Jayleen stand near a rectangular table with Kyle laying on it. He was beginning to look very pale.
On the other side of the girls, a very concerned young looking woman inspects the boy.
All she had been wearing was a night gown and robe when the girls knocked and held the wounded boy.
"Well, it's a good thing you brought him to me.. I don't know what you shot him with, but there's no bullet left behind. It didn't go all the way through, either."
The two nod quickly, both were huddled together and generally looked worse for wear.
"Were you three fighting?" The nurse asks as she sets a thick blanket over him, then begins to move him to a couch.
"He attacked us with another person. He almost killed me." Jayleen says while she holds up an arm. Several fingers and even a chunk on her wrist were missing, but it didn't look bloodied.
After managing to avoid falling right over in shock, Amber and the nurse both shout, "How are you not bleeding?"
The vampire huffs out, "He never cut me.. I tried to fight him off using bats, but he killed some of them. They couldn't reattach."
"I.. I don't think I have anything for that, dear." The nurse says while almost turning as pale as Jayleen.
The girls sit on the floor with mugs filled with blood, they were watching the boy sleep while an IV connected to him worked away.
The sound of a running shower thankfully kept an eerie silence at bay.
Every now and then Jayleen takes a sip while Amber looks over her gun. To break the silence, Jayleen speaks. "So.. Is that the sacred gear they mentioned?"
Amber runs her finger along the barrel, it's cold to the touch. "I think. I've never heard of that until today. "
In the blink of an eye the gun disappears and Amber leans against Jayleen.
"It's some sort of power that some humans have. I'm glad you had the old gun instead of that."
Jayleen laughs quietly while Amber sips from her drink. It had that strange, sweet flavor.
The angel boy stirs and opens his eyes, staring at both of the girls like a deer in head lights "Wait, what?" He tries to sit up, but gets half tangled in the IV.
"Where am I?" He begins to shake and breathe heavier as he notices the two vampires.
"You're in our nurses' house. Amber decided to save you."
He looks at Jayleen's arm and grimaces, then lowers his head. "Right.. Thank you."
The three stay silent for another moment before Kyle speaks up again.
"Are you going to turn me into a vampire? That's a big mistake, the Grig-"
Jayleen holds her palm out and frowns, "Your blood would taste like glitter! We only saved you because.. You're a kid."
Amber and Kyle both stare at Jayleen for a second and then burst into laughter.
Jayleen stands up and begins to stomp off, turning her back to the pair. "I am going to call my father!"
The fallen angel and turned vampire quietly stare at each other again.
"So, uh.. Sorry for shooting you in the stomach." Amber says while doing her best to smile.
"Sorry for trying to kill your vampire."
The two laugh again.
"Is.. There any way we don't have to fight later?" The girl asks while sipping from her mug.
"Our boss said we weren't supposed to engage.. But Ethyl wanted to bring you back to try and get a promotion." Kyle sighs while he lays back in the couch."It's kind of unfair that you had to be turned though."
Amber looks up to him while resting her mug on her knees, "Huh? Why?"
The boy motions over to the cup. "You never seemed like a bad person. But now you're a slave to a vampire."
Amber smiles, "You really are like an angel, huh? But.. Jayleen's actually kind of nice."
After another minute of silence, Amber speaks up again. "So.. If we let you go, what happens?"
The boy looks at the floor and begins to frown.
"Well, Ethyl will make something up to cover her self for disobeying orders.. Maybe when they realize you two didn't kill me, our boss will talk to you guys?"
Jayleen returns to the living room, "My father said to bring you home. He'll be trying to contact the Grigori and send you back." She says while rubbing her injured arm.
"Why don't you just let me go back on my own?" The boy asks while staring at Jayleen suspiciously.
"Because, we want to use you to get them to stop trying to kill us." Jayleen says before looking to Amber. "Amber, up. We're going now."
Amber immediately stands up and pouts, "Did you have to word it as an order?"
Kyle laughs while the nurse removes his IV.
"You should be good enough for now." She says before Kyle follows the girls.
"Thank you very much."
