Chapter Twelve

The car thief was dead before he could put the gun away. In his fury, Jeremy would have drained him too, as it was only right that the blood of his enemy sustain him. But Cora needed his attention.

She wasn’t breathing. Her heart wasn’t beating. There was a hole in her stomach, drenched in blood. His hands shaking, he lifted her gently in his arms and carried her to his borrowed car, where he lay her down on the ground.

He gathered all the Might energy he was able, pushing himself to his limits to hold it, and summoned every bit of magic in his disposal. He wasn’t able to heal with magic, but he created a seal on the wound to stop it bleeding. Then he set out to make her heart beat again. He knew basic human CPR, but magic was faster. He had jolted hearts into operating before. All that was needed was an electric shock, and magic would provide that.

It took three tries and almost all his energy to make her heart beat again, but she wasn’t in the clear yet. The pulse was weak and her breathing was shallow. He had to get her to a healer, and fast. Lifting her up, he put her in the front seat of the car, adjusting her as best he could. She would have been more comfortable on the back seat, but he couldn’t feed Might energy into her if she was at the back. Humans couldn’t benefit from Might, but he hoped that her vampire gene would make her more receptive to it.

It was the only chance she had.

In a hurry though he was, he took a moment to haul the body of the assailant into the boot. It wouldn’t do to leave him where anyone could find him. He would have cleared the blood off the street too, but he couldn’t spare the energy or time for it. Then he got behind the wheel and drove.

There were hospitals nearby, one right by the park, but he didn’t trust any of them. He had seen enough death to know that human doctors couldn’t do anything for her. He needed someone better, someone who was able to heal with magic.

He needed Alexander Hamilton, Lord Foley. But he was in Epsom, a good twenty minute drive on the motorway, and it would take at least another twenty minutes driving through London before he was on it.

As the ill luck would have it, he didn’t have a mobile and the borrowed car didn’t have one either. He needed to warn Alexander, to make him prepare for the healing. The damage to Cora was massive, and even the strongest of vampires would need extra energy for it.

Out of options, he tried to reach Jas mentally, but couldn’t find the familiar mind. Frantic now, he searched for any mind close enough that would be receptive for his call.

What?

Gabriel. Jeremy could have wept. I need you to contact your father. Cora’s been shot and I want him to heal her.
