TONY’S eyes were haunted as he sat down on our couch, fingering the

thick, white bandage on his neck. He turned to watch me as I went back into the kitchen and took a carton of eggs out of the fridge. “I’m gonna make me an omelet.” I got out a bowl and some salt and pepper. Despite my snack from the cafeteria last night, I was still pretty hungry. “Want one?”

He shook his head, eyeing my turtleneck, and I keenly felt the lack of a similar wound on my neck. Once again, I had healed overnight. “Not hungry.” Tony looked around at the shambles of our living room. “Shit, Jake. Why’re we still alive? I don’t get it. That thing that had you, what the fuck was it?” He shuddered. “I’ve never seen anything so damned scary in my life.”

I wasn’t sure how to respond. Part of me wanted to defend Kristair, but I had to admit he had looked hideous with all the burns and gashes covering him. Add in fangs and me falling over and it had probably seemed like a nightmare come to life. I was just grateful Tony hadn’t recognized him. “I don’t think his intention was to kill us.”

Tony turned toward me, his gray-green eyes incredulous. “You’ve got to be kidding,” he said. “He sure as hell wasn’t here for a keg party. Last time I checked, running around and biting people on the neck wasn’t the norm.” Once again he touched his bandage and his gaze drifted to my turtleneck.

I shrugged and concentrated on the eggs I was whipping. “I don’t know. All I’m saying is, if he wanted us dead, we wouldn’t be talking right now.”

Tony gave the room a pointed glare. “Tell that to Steve.” A wave of guilt swamped me. My hand jerked on the pan handle

and spatters of hot oil stung my skin. “Damn,” I swore under my breath. “Steve’s gonna make it. The nurse even said we could visit later.” Tony turned on the TV, blocking me out. I sighed, throwing American cheese and deli meat onto the bubbling eggs, then flipped the whole mess over. Suddenly, I wasn’t all that hungry, but I still made myself go through the motions. Chewing and swallowing was an act of stubbornness.

Finished, I tossed the dishes into the sink. I’d wash them after I came back from the hospital. I never heard from Kristair again last night, not even after his last weird message. From time to time, I had felt his touch, but nothing more. I tried not to be hurt. After all, I had ignored him first, but my emotions never did make any damn sense.

“I’m going back to the hospital.” Tony shot me a surprised glance. “But the nurse said not to come back until this afternoon.”

“There’s someone else I wanted to see,” I replied, knowing Kristair would want news on Kayla. A flash of fear crossed Tony’s face. “She was hurt in that mess at the cathedral. Wanna come? She’s hot.
