CHAPTER 7

SACRIFICES

“You can’t run forever, darlin’. I’ll catch you. And when I do, there’ll be hell to pay.”

Kendra awoke with a start, slamming her head into the top of the sleeping bay.

Marcus chuckled. “You okay in there?”

“I don’t know,” Kendra moaned, rubbing the sore spot on her forehead, struggling to remember where she was. She shook off the last remnants of sleep and opened her eyes, feeling as if she had only closed them moments before. Was it a dream, or had she really heard Hector again? Was he getting close, or was it just subconscious worry invading her dreams? She pulled back the curtain, relieved to see Marcus’s smiling face. “Sorry…what time is it?”

“It’s time to get up, sleepyhead. Support band’s already on stage.”

Kendra blinked a few times, shocked that she had slept so long. She rolled out of the sleeping bay. “I thought you were going to come back early and wake me?”

“Troy found a swap meet, and we lost track of time shopping.” He pointed toward the living area. Kendra spotted a few plastic bags and snickered, seeing the hilt of a large-ish looking sword sheathed in an old leather scabbard. Guess he took my joke about buying a sword seriously.

“Here.” Marcus handed her a badge hanging from a plastic lanyard. “You’re gonna need this if you want to be back stage with us. We’ll have to get you a wristband too,” he said, extending his other arm to show the neon orange band around his wrist.

“Crap, I’m sorry I overslept. It felt like I had just closed my eyes.”

“You sounded like you were having a nightmare. You sure you’re okay?”

She rubbed the sore spot on her forehead, remembering the sound of Hector’s voice. It had been so clear, so close, but was it just a dream? “I’m okay now. I’m just sorry we didn’t get time to work out the rest of those lyrics.”

“It’s okay. We wouldn’t have had much time to do it.” He smiled. “We were pretty busy most of the afternoon. Gary was cracking the whip. He must have rolled out on the wrong side of the bed.”

“You forgot his milk.” She gave him a stern look.

“Whoops.” He smiled sheepishly.

“Yep, so I think you deserved it. Besides, a little hard work never killed anyone.” She laughed and playfully punched him in the shoulder. “How are you feeling? Are you up to performing?”

“I’m all right. A little tired, though. I’ve been downing energy drinks all day. I was hoping you might want to offer me some—”

The smile faded from her lips. She looked away to hide her disappointment. She’d turned him into an addict already. “I’m not so sure that’s the best idea.”

“It would help me perform my best tonight.” He reached out and grabbed her hand. “Please?”

Kendra sighed and looked up, meeting Marcus’s hazel eyes. “I can’t keep giving you blood. I don’t want to turn you.”

“I’m not asking for a lot. How much blood would turn me?”

“It’s not like that. You don’t just drink a certain amount and poof! You’re a vampire.
