needed to warn Janus about what was coming our way.

Sliding off Red's lap I pulled the knife from his leg. He didn't move. Cutting his restraints I drug him off the table and into the entrance way. Dropping him on the carpet I took a pillow case out of the small closet, covering the bloody mess of his face with it. Reaching for him I paused.

I needed to get to Janus, warn him about the coming Purge, but what about Saoirse? I felt that strange wind blow over me again. I welcomed it, wrapping it around myself. I was suddenly aware of Saoirse's scent, and her presence. Even though she was across the hall I could still feel her.

It was like what I had experienced back in the Hunter's town, but more concentrated. Opening the door I drifted out into the hall, inhaling Saorise scent. I paused in front of the door directly across the hall. Touching it I blinked, surprised it just swung open without any resistance. Stepping inside the dark room I stuck to the walls, the scent of a strange man filling my nose.

My eyes darted around but the only thing in the room was furniture. I drifted away from the wall, following the strange wind that was Saoirse. The odd sensation lead me down a hallway, passed two open doors. Two more stood at the end of the hall, both closed. I had my had on the closest handle when her voice tore through the silence apartment.

"Dustin!"

Whirling I pushed on the door, it didn't give. Glaring I kicked it, nearly sending it flying across the room. Saoirse turned, eyes desperate. I took in the motionless man on the bed, the blood on his neck, the blanket around Saoirse. My face went slack, fear striking me like a lightening bolt.

"Help me." She beagged.

 

Chapter 24 - Saoirse

Clair rushes over to me. “What happened?” She snaps, falling to her knees in front of Dustin. 

I gesture to the multiple bite wounds on his neck and the blood dripping from my chin. “He fell over!” She looks at me stupidly. “What the fuck do you think happened?!” I growl, fury and guilt for my actions spilling from me and being taken out on Clair.

“He’s just some dumb human! Why do you need help? I’ll finish him up for you if you want,” she says calmly, eyes fixed on the red liquid spilling from Dustin’s neck.

Kicking her away from Dustin, Clair flies over and hits the wall. “If all you’re gonna do is insult him, then you can fuck off!”

She growls and stands up, muttering words I wouldn’t even say! “Fine, if he means that much to you then I will try and help... but put his pants on,”

Silently thanking her, I put Dustin’s boxers and t-shirt on. I slip one of his suit shirts over my body and wrap the blanket around his shoulders.

“Grab his other arm,” I tell Clair as I put one of his arms around my shoulder. Clair nods obediently and grabs his other arm. We walk out of his flat and stand in the hall, luckily there are no humans scouring the place.

“We need to get him to Janus, he can help him,” 

“We can use the car I stole from the Hunters,” I begin to walk down the hall but Clair stops. “What’s wrong?” I snap.She let’s go of Dustin and carefully places his body on my back, as if I was giving him a piggy back.

“You will have to carry him, I need to carry that scum,” she rushes over to the entrance to my flat and pulls a man’s body out, face hidden by a crimson dyed pillow case. 

I nod my head at the man. “Red?” She nods. “I can see your handy work paid off, he squealed?”

“Like a pig!” She grins, an evil glint washing over her eyes. 

Gulping, we quickly rush down the stairs. Clair dumps Red into the boot and slips into the driver’s seat. I gently place Dustin into the passenger seat and sit beside him. I brush his raven hair from his face, pressing my head on his chest I listen to his faint heart beat. “Clair, I can barely hear his heart, I drained his blood more than I thought,” I whisper.Licking her lips, she hot wires the car and it roars into life. Putting her foot down, she U turns out of the estate and speeds down the road.

“We have to get him to Janus, we need to warn him!” Clair says.

Wiping the sweat from Dustin’s forehead, “warn him about what?” I ask without really caring, completely focused on my dying friend.

“The Purge,” she whispers, glancing away from the road to look into my eyes.

“Another one?” I say quietly, holding my hand against Dustin’s neck to try and cease any blood flow. “The last Purge was years ago, centuries! Why would they try again?”

“Because,” she sighs. “Hunters are regrouping in huge numbers, trying again to rid the world of Vampirism.”

Gulping, I begin to reply but Dustin grunts and his eyes creek open. “Saorise?” He whispers, eyes only half open.

Cupping his face I kiss his forehead, “just stay awake, Dustin, just stay awake,” I tell him gently.

 “Wha-what... what happened?” He murmurs, head falling forward slightly. 

“Nothing, just keep your eyes open and everything will be fine,” I smile, but it doesn’t last long and fades from my lips.

A wee while later, we pull up outside the beach that I woke up in when my blood was first mixed with Clair’s. “Come on,” she pulls herself from the car.

I grab Dustin’s arm and put it around my shoulder. “Just hold on to me,”He looks at me half heartedly, probably not fully conscious.

“You...you won’t...be able to carry me,” he gasps.

“Trust me, I can carry you,” I kiss his head and drag him from the car.

Clair has, the still unconscious, Red over her shoulder. “Come on, we have to get him to Janus, fast!”She rushes over the beach and I follow her, the cottage on the beach catching my eye almost instantly, the afternoon sun is barely shinning.Clair bangs on the door. “Janus! Let us in!” She roars.The door flies open, revealing the Vampire.

“What is it, Clair?” His eyes fix on the body on her shoulder, then to me and Dustin. “What have you done?”

Chapter 25 - Clair

"What have you done?"

My eyes flickered from Dustin's pale face to the vampire standing in the door. He stood there, framed by the darkness, just out of the light glaring at me. I gave him a similar look.

 "Not a fucking thing." I snarled.

Pushing the six foot vampire aside I stormed into the darkened house. A pair of vibrant emerald eyes stared at me just inside the threshold. Perfectly curled ringlets fell down passed a very feminine waist, hands clenched at her sides. My lips curled into an unhappy sneer.

"Why if it isn't my favorite vampire bitch Charlene." I seethed at the female vampire.

She made a disgusted noise, lips parting to insult me. My smile widened, daring her to say something, anything that would give me a reason to kill her. Janus placed a hand on my shoulder. I blinked, looking from the female vampire to him. He gave me a warning look, a tightness around his eyes.

"What the hell is that thing?"

The oddly musical voice drew my attention back to Charlene. She was pointing passed us to the door way.

"He's not a thing." Saoirse snarled.

Charlene waved at the floor, indicating her legs. "Look at it then tell me you don't think it's a thing."

A growl tore through the hallway. Charlene blinked, glancing at me. I speared her with a glare. She ignored it, walking those few precious feet closer to me. I stopped growling, because she was almost close enough to touch.

Janus either sensed or knew what I was thinking because he pulled me away from Charlene so that I had to take back those three steps if I wanted to touch her. I glared at Janus. He glared back, that tightness around his eyes increasing.

"You think so to right?" She pointed at the man slung over my shoulder. I had completely forgotten about Red. "That things like that should be put out of their misery."

A string of curses and insults burned on my tongue, wanting to be let free. I took a breath, readying to let those few choice words go when someone beat me to it. I felt a spark of energy from Saoirse. She was pissed, and I couldn't blame her. That energy spark opened that strange bond between us, a cool wind washing over me.

I don't know how I knew, but something told me to move. Grabbing Janus with my free hand I stepped back, pulling him with me. Saoirse's fist flew by us, smashing into Charlene's pretty face. She flew back into a table, flipping over it from the sheer force Saoirse had put into that one strike. Janus bolted from me, going to an unconscious Charlene.

Saoirse screamed at her even though it was unlikely Charlene could hear her. "Shut up you stupid bitch!"

I laughed, I couldn't help it. Saoirse stared at me. I motioned for her to come closer. She turned away, her focus all for Charlene. Janus sent me a plea with his eyes.

I sighed, going to Saoirse since she didn't want to come to me. She didn't notice, she just stared at Charlene, eyes practically glowing with hate for the vampire. I reached out to her. She stepped forward, as if sensing my arm hovering over her shoulders. Grabbing her I pulled her back.

That earned me a glare. I laughed again. Jerking out from under my arm Saoirse turned, Dustin turning with her. Since she had picked him up from the car she hadn't let him go.

"And just what the hell is so damn funny?" She snarled at me.

I smirked at her, the corners of my mouth curling into another sneer. Using my free hand I pointed at the woman sitting up on the floor, touching her face like she expected it to just fall apart if she didn't hold it together. It made my smile widened, darken.

"Do you know how long I've wanted to do that?"

"I can only imagine how hard it was for you to resist such temptation." Saoirse grumbled.

I nodded, the smile lightening again. We looked at each other, a cheery grin on both our faces. Someone shrieked and the shared moment of Charlene's pain was gone. I gave the woman shrieking threats a sideways glance. She
