Chapter 18

Carrying a half unconscious girl is not as easy as it looks in the movies. I know the leading man is always able to whisk the girl up in his arms and carry her over-the-threshold style out of a burning building or whatever, but let me tell you, it’s a lot of work.

Lana seriously did not want to eat the cake that Xander had left us, but the dessert had somehow cleared my head, so I knew it was important that she at least eat a little. When she refused, I tried Xander’s ploy: I gave Lana a really hard pinch and when she protested, in went some cake. But when I clamped my hand over her mouth to ensure she swallowed it, Lana bit me really hard. It had never even occurred to me to bite Xander, which I guess makes me a bit of a pussy. Anyway, eventually I got her to eat a bit of cake, and then I tried hauling her out of there. She’s not a heavy girl or anything, but after some initial attempts to look gallant, I ended up falling back on the fireman’s carry. It’s not sexy and really not comfortable for the person being carried, but it gets the job done.

There were so many kids sleeping on the floor that I had to pick my way through so as not to step on any of them. I figured the shriek of a guy who had just had his hand stepped on might set off a few alarms. By the time I got Lana to the top of the staircase, I had to put her down and take a break. Her head was clearing, and I even managed to persuade her to eat a little more cake. “Did you sign that contract?” she asked after swallowing her third or fourth bite.

“No.” I shook my head. “Did you?”

She pursed her lips and thought about it for a moment. “I don’t think so.” Then she added, “I wanted to, and I was going to, but then all these super hot guys started flirting with me and trying to get me to sign, and that made me really suspicious.”

“Oh, yeah.” I had a vague memory of Violet Girl repeatedly putting a pen in my hand. She kept saying something about how if I signed then we could be together. But I just couldn’t get past all that fine print.

Lana sat up a little straighter, her head obviously clearing. “So what are we doing now?”

“I’m taking you to the car. Xander’s going to find Rini.”

Lana looked up, her eyes made enormous with concern. “Where is she?’

“You said you thought she was with the vampire.”

Lana’s hand flew to her mouth. Biting her knuckle, Lana nodded several times. “I think I was right. She wanted to… you know… and let the vampire…” Tears began to slide down her cheeks. “I think maybe she signed it. I think she signed the blood contract.”

“Shit,” was all I could think to say.
