I woke to flashing lights all around me. Something soft was underneath my head. Soft, but a little cold and clammy. I jerked open my eyes and tried to raise my head to get a better look, but Charmaine shushed me and pushed my head back down.

“Easy now,” she said. She stroked my forehead a little. “You’ve been through a lot, and I probably took more of your blood than I should have. So it’s kind of my fault.”

I realized then that I was laying on the ground, which meant my head was probably in Charmaine’s lap. Which made me a little uncomfortable. I’m all for physical contact, but that was a little more than I really wanted from her.

“Umm, are you sure I shouldn’t… lay somewhere else or something?” I said, peeking up at her.

Charmaine giggled. “You can be so weird about things, sometimes, Damian.” I saw her bright smile shine down on me as I looked up into her big doe eyes. “But suit yourself.”

She moved my head to the side and set it down on something that was less comfortable, but at least it wasn’t a vampire’s lap. I thought maybe it was a bunched up jacket or something.

The lights all around me kept flashing, all blues and reds, with a little strobing white thrown in for variety.

“What happened?” I asked. “Where… where are we?”

“You fell on your ass. I caught you and took you back to the cars,” Charmaine said with another slight giggle.

Everything came flooding back. “Tell me Viktor didn’t see my fall, at least?” The last thing I needed was more reasons for that guy to think less of me.

“Oh, he saw it all. Laughed good and hard, too.” She sighed a little. “But like I said, it was all my fault. I haven’t had real blood in years. I guess I… forgot what it could do to me. I’m sorry.” She lowered her gaze, and I saw the hint of a tear in her eyes.

“Meh. It’s all good.” I waved a hand dismissively. “Just help me up, will you?”

“You’re too nice to me, Damian,” Charmaine said cryptically.

“Nah. I’m just nice enough.” I beamed at her and raised my arms.

She stood, then gave me a weak smile and grabbed onto my outstretched hands, pulling hard. It had the intended effect. I vaulted upward into a standing position a little quicker than was likely prudent.

As a result, my head swam, and my brains felt swishy as I swooned on my feet a little, but with Charmaine’s help, I remained upright. I silently thanked my slightly faster than normal healing. If I were a normal human, I’d probably be in a hospital right now.

“Hey, at least I kept you off the stretcher,” Charmaine said, nodding toward the nearby ambulance.

My lips cracked into a wry smile. “Thank heaven for small miracles.”

Now standing, I reviewed the full scene that was playing out in front of me. Thankfully, the black sedan was no longer smoking, so I could make out everything.
