Lorenzo groaned as he started to wake up, catching Kellie's attention.
"Uncle Lo," Kellie said, starting to move from her seat over to the bedside before stopping herself.
"I'm going to get the doctor," Kellie said as Lorenzo groaned again and was still getting his bearings.
Kellie was almost to the door.
"Kellie," Lorenzo said, causing her to pause, "Come here."
"I really should get the doctor," Kellie said.
"I just needed a blood transfusion, bandages, maybe some stitches and painkillers right?" Lorenzo asked.
"Yeah," Kellie answered.
"The doctor can wait," Lorenzo said, "Especially when I know you're likely to take off."
Kellie huffed.
"Come on," Lorenzo said.
Kellie resigned walked back towards Lorenzo. She kept the cloak hiding her appearance.
"Kellie, I've seen Tyler," Lorenzo said, "Not to mention my own mother fed off me. Though that shouldn't really surprise me considering her lack of maternal instincts when I was growing up."
Kellie pulled the chair over and sat next to the bed. She slowly lifted her head to look at Lorenzo while trying to avoid eye contact.
Lorenzo forced himself to sit up and took Kellie's hand.
"Look at me," Lorenzo said, pushing the hood back from Kellie's face, "You're still you."
"I don't feel like me, Uncle Lo," Kellie said, her voice cracking.
"I know this has to be terrifying," Lorenzo said, "I don't know how, but we will figure this out."
"What if we can't," Kellie asked.
"We can't think that way," Lorenzo said, "Taggert knows of this Angel group. Not all the details or about vampires and what not. Just they work the weird cases. He did say that based on what he knows they were your best shot."
"I know, It just seems like there hasn't been a lot of information about Lilith and this ritual," Kellie said.
"Just give it time," Lorenzo started to say.
"We both know we're running out of time," Kellie interrupted.
"That wasn't happened yet," Lorenzo said as Spike burst through the door, holding a large milkshake from the cafeteria.
"Ilyria finally gave us something to work with," Spike said, handing Kellie the milkshake, "Now drink before you get grrr."
Lorenzo raised an eyebrow as Kellie drank the milkshake.
"Human blood mixed in it from the hospital's expired stash," Spike said.
"Human, not vampire?" Lorenzo asked, "Tyler went for the vampire blood."
"She went for demon blood first," Spike said, "We're hoping the human blood keeps the need for demon or vampire blood at bay."
"I'm right here," Kellie said a she finished the milkshake, "I can hear you both talking."
Spike looked surprised at how fast she finished the milkshake. He also thought something else about Kellie was off, but couldn't quite figure it out.
"Lorenzo Alcazar," Lorenzo introduced himself, putting his hand out."
"Name's Spike," Spike replied, taking Lorenzo hand to shake it.
"You're a vampire," Lorenzo said, "Judging by how cold your hands are. Not sure how concerned I should be about that."
"Not all vampires are psychotic like your mum," Spike said, "I got my soul back thank you very much."
"Maybe we should focus on what Ilyria had to say," Kellie said.
"Who is Illyria?" Lorenzo asked.
"Long story actually," Spike replied, "All you need to know is Illyria participated in banishing Lilith the first time and actually has the knife used in the ritual. She also told Welsey what texts to look for. The text is no longer in tact, but they were able to locate copies of the pages. As luck would have it, some of the narrative of the ritual and the spell is in there. Welsey and Teagan think they can use it to craft a new spell to reverse this."
"That's good news," Lorenzo said.
"We just have to find Tyler," Kellie said, "Is there anything you can tell me that might help us find Tyler."
Lorenzo shocked his head.
"Although one of the vampires gave me a riddle to pass on," Lorenzo said, "With wings of heaven, the mate's call will be answered."
Spike rolled his eyes, "I got nothing on that. Even with it coming from Dru."
"You know the other vamp?" Lorenzo asked.
"When Tyler drank Martina and Dru's blood," Kellie said, "It opened a connection between us, it fed me somehow and I could see everything. We had Spinelli hack traffic cameras in the area where your car was found, he got an image of your mom which matched pictures of her before she died. It wasn't a stretch to assume your mom had turned into a vampire. And no Spinelli doesn't know about vampires."
"I wasn't aware she'd been turned until she kidnapped me," Lorenzo said as Lorne knocked on the door, peeking his head in.
"We should probably get the singing out of the way," Lorne said.
"I'm not singing," Kellie said.
"Why does she need to sing?" Lorenzo asked.
"Lorne here can read destinies if someone sings," Spike said, "We're hoping if Kellie sings we might get more information and an idea of where this is headed."
"Kellie," Lorenzo said, sternly while staring her down as Kellie glared at him, "You need to sing."
Lorenzo held her gaze.
"Fine," Kellie finally relented.
"Just a couple lines of any song, Nightingale," Lorne said.
"You are the dancing queen, Young and sweet, only 17, Dancing queen," Kellie sang really softly and looking away from everyone.
Lorenzo caught a surprised look on Lorne's face which fell. Lorne quickly recovered before anyone else noticed.
"Is that enough?" Kellie asked,
"More than enough, you have a decent voice, not sure why you were so shy about singing" Lorne said, "You and Tyler will come out of this fine. I didn't pick up on anything that might help with that."
"Should she sing more?" Lorenzo asked.
Lorne shook his head.
"We really should go catch up with the others," Spike said, "Lorne, will keep an eye on your uncle."
"His guards are on their way too," Kellie said, "Since he apparently decided not to take them."
"So that's where you get ditching your guards from," Spike replied, "Like Uncle, like niece."
"I didn't think we should bring anyone we didn't have to into this," Lorenzo said.
"You never let me get away with that excuse," Kellie said as she stood up off balance.
"Whoa," Kellie said, grabbing the chair and Spike arms to steady herself.
"I think I need more blood already," Kellie said, her fangs coming out.
