Chapter Eleven

When I look into his eyes, I see only evil.

-Entry from the diary of Henry de Montfort,

Immortal

December 13, 1068

She'd warned the hospital personnel. She'd told them that Mary's life was in danger, that she needed constant supervision. They'd called in two extra guards, and they promised Savannah that Mary would be safe.

She hadn't told them that the man who was after Mary wasn't exactly human. They wouldn't have believed her if she'd said a vampire wanted to kill her friend.

So, she'd lied. She'd told them that Mary's ex-boyfriend was at the hospital and that he'd confessed to attacking her. After that, it had been easy to arrange for Mary's protection.

Once she was certain that Mary was safe, Savannah had searched the upper levels of the hospital. She didn't think that Geoffrey had left, that he'd just given up and decided to leave. No, she knew he was still there, waiting on her. Waiting for her.

She couldn't find him. She looked, in every room and in every closet. She hated the idea that he was there, waiting for the perfect moment to attack. To possibly kill Mary.

She had to draw him out. Draw him away from the hospital. Mary needed time to recover. She wouldn't be able to survive another attack from him. She had to lead him away. She had to protect Mary.

She pushed open the door to the stairwell. Only two flights stood between her and the parking garage. A red overhead light illuminated the small area. She hurried down the steps, wanting to get away as fast she could. She absently rubbed her temple. Her head had been pounding steadily from the moment she'd slipped into the hospital. She wished she hadn't left her pills at William's.

She walked down three steps, and the world suddenly seemed to swirl before her. She grabbed the iron railing, holding on tightly. She saw a brief flash, and then darkness surrounded her.

She closed her eyes and heard the sound of her pounding heart. Had he found her? Was he doing this to her?

She counted to ten and opened her eyes. The darkness was gone. She once again saw the red glow of the light and the concrete stairs.

She began walking down the stairs, not taking her arm off the railing. She didn't know what had just happened, but she didn't want to take any chances. Luckily, she only had to go down one more flight to get to the garage.

She'd take her jeep and drive as far and as fast as she could. She knew he would follow her. And Mary would be safe.

The concrete steps ended in front of a red door. She shoved the door open, hurrying into the garage.

She could see her jeep sitting on the far side, right under the security camera. The long, florescent lights flickered faintly overhead, casting shadows on the pavement.

No one else was in the vast garage. No visitors, not even a security guard.

She had to hurry. She had to get away. Before he—

There was a man standing beside her jeep.
