The Random Vampire Story [2]

Caiden

"You won't be, not without me at least, and I don't know how well that would sit with the next one of us."

"The next?"

"You guessed it, oh Colt don't quit on me now!"

Colt---

Colt groaned, "I never planned on it." He said taking a deep breath. He groaned in pain. "It hurts, realyl really bad."

Caiden

She wanted to hug him, but resisted, instead she squeezed his hand, "Slade will be here soon," tears rolled over her eyes.

"Oh please don't cry," Colt begged, "don't make it hurt worse."

She managed a smile, "I'm sorry, I..."

Slade burst in the door.

"Oh thank God," she said under her breath.

Colt----

"C-caiden...." COlt was gettin cold all the sudden. "I love yo-" Everything went black as Slade's face appeared.

Caiden

"Colt? COLT!" she screamed and tried to get him to open his eyes. "Colt don't leave me, I need you, I can't imagine what you've been through chasing after me, but I know it was hell chasing after you, don't make me go it alone again. I promise I won't get us into anymore trouble. I promise. I-" she broke off into a sobbing fit, staying out of the way for Slade.

Colt----

Colt felt someone touching his midsection, probably taking the bullet out. He could hear Caiden, he wanted to tell her it would be ok. Tell her he was going to make it. But he didn't know if that was true. He fought complete darkness, but didn't know if he could do it. He tried to wake up. To open his eyes, but he couldn't.


*Sorry*

Caiden

"Just hang in there," she whispered brushing back his hair and kissing his forehead. "Just a few more moments."

"I'm almost done," Slade said.

"Will he wake up?" Caiden asked.

Tristian started crying.

"Go coo your kid Caiden, he'll be alright."

Colt----

Colt heard Tristian crying and his heart tugged. He tried forcing his eyes open, they opened a little and he saw CAiden holding Tristian. He couldn't open his eyes anymore. He tried to move, but couldn't find the energy.

Just a little longer, love, I'll be able to move in a little longer. He thought.

Caiden

She wanted to see if Tristian could get a response out of him, but she didn't want to scare him.

Colt---

Colt felt Caiden lower Tristian into his arms slowly. She wrapped his arm around Tristian supporting him. Tristian gurgled then started whimpering. He slowly and carefully wrapped his fingers around Tristian's small hand trying to comfort him as best he could.

Caiden

She smiled, it worked. Tristian was worried though he didn't know what was going on but he could sense that something was wrong.

Colt---

Colt could see Tristian through the slits in his eyes. He tightened and untightened his fingers trying to let Tristian know it was ok. His whole body still ached, but he felt warmer then he had.

Caiden

"It's working?" She asked hopefully.

Slade nodded, "slowly, but surely, it'll work eventually."

"Eventually?"

Slade cast her a sad glance.

Colt----

Colt listened, "He might be paralyzed a little. It shouldn't be permenate. I'll get Brent over here, he will be able to tell more then I can. But I don't know."

Colt slowly moved his thumb over Tristian's small arm. He wanted to Caiden it would be ok.

Caiden

"I'll call him, you just keep doing...whatever mages do okay?"

With one hand still on Colts head absent mindedly playing with his hair like she liked to do. "Brent?"

"Ya Caiden?"

"Can you come over here please?"

"What's wrong?"

"Colt's...just get over here please."
