When I sat inside my little fuel efficient car, it felt like I’d never left. I sat there for a few minutes, waiting for something, and I realized I’d been waiting for Knight to open the small door and sit next to me. But he was gone, and I was still alone.

I drove Excalibur for an hour before I pulled over and started planning my next activity: robbing a hospital. It seemed simple enough. If I found a small enough hospital, maybe they wouldn’t be on alert about someone stealing blood and Arthur wouldn’t find out. Maybe. I was doubtful on that account, but if I waited any longer, I’d go into a frenzy and then it would all be over. Arthur would find me, no question about it. And then no more running, no more friends, no more….me.

I wasn’t going to let four hundred plus years go to waste.

One crappy hotel room, a large order of Japanese take away, and a case of soda later, I had a solid’ish’ plan put together. I rolled up the paper I'd written my game plan on and started picking up the take away trash when my phone rang. I’d considered buying a new burner phone since Renard had called me and the number could be traced if Arthur felt like doing so, but the thought of someone at the castle needing me and not being able to find me, mainly Olivier or Cameron, kept me from doing so. Plus, I’d given my number to Knight as well. I picked the phone up and saw “Unregistered number” on the screen.

I pressed the answer button with no idea who was calling me. “Hello?” I waited for Arthur’s deep scratchy voice, but it was someone else.

“Hey.”

My throat constricted as I heard Knight’s voice on the other end. I searched for something to say, since the only thing I wanted to ask him was where he was. “I umm…. I’m not dead.”

“Yeah…I noticed.” I sat in awkward silence for a few minutes before he cleared his throat. “Have you fed?”

Why would he ask me that? “No.” I wanted to tell him about the club, but felt embarrassed at what I’d almost done. “I’m going to raid a hospital.”

“Can’t that Incubus help? You know, steal it for you?”

Now that he said it, I wondered why Balthazar hadn’t done just that. “That’s not how he works,” I told Knight, though I was sure Balthazar could do it if he wanted to.

“Makes sure you’re okay but leaves you high and dry? What a friend.”

I scowled and felt my nails lengthen. “At least he doesn’t attack me and leave me for dead in a pool of water.”

Knight made a grumbling noise under his breath. “Right. Because I always have complete control when I shift. Can’t believe I forgot to mention that.” He sighed loudly. “This isn’t why I called you. I just want to make sure you’re eating.”

More like make sure I’m not snacking on innocent people for fun. “I’ll have blood before the sun rises.
