   Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Rayne woke up and rubbed her eyes. Sunlight was pouring in through the open hole which she assumed was a window. She felt weak though she couldn’t quite remember why. As she began to sit up her ribs flared with pain. “Oh, that’s why. Those roots…wait…where the hell am I?” a look of panic spread over her face. “I’m dead. I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead , I’m dead!” She covered her face with her hands. Feeling the bandages she pulled her hands away to examine them. “Blood? If I were dead…I wouldn’t bleed!” she let out a long sigh of relief. Just then a sprite flew in.
“E.. Excuse me!” Rayne called to her.
“Oh, Thank God your alright. You recovered quite quickly! Well at any cost, my name is Sage and if you need anything just holler!” Sage gave Rayne a huge smile showing how overly friendly she was.
“Um… well, I’d kinda like to know what happened to me, how I got here, and where that pesky vampire ran off too.” Rayne scowled at the thought that if he was going to kill her, he could’ve just finished the job!
“You mean the cute one?” Sage giggled in a high pitch manner that reminded Rayne of bubbles being blown through a toy whistle… stupid and painful , and she’d never thought of Aiden as cute, maybe attractive or defiantly hot, but cute? No. Cute was an adjective for a puppy dog, not a vampire. “That vampire had to go back before the sun came up, even though he wanted to stay here with you…”
“You mean he wasn’t the one who tried to kill me?” Rayne looked shocked.
“No!” Sage looked surprised now. “No, he wouldn’t stop banging on the door until someone answered it! I mean, Good Lord, that boy ran all the way here with you in his arms!”
“So… he saved me. But… then what happened to me?!” she sat bolt upright and let out a yelp of pain. Sage laid her back down and began the story.
“Apparently you and Aiden were having a fight and you were running from him. You slipped on the roots twice..”
“I remember that..” Rayne muttered.
“ When you fell the second time you couldn’t get up…”
“And he taunted me with his charm, asked me to be his blood partner, I told him no, yea, yea. So what happened after I passed out?”
“He’d set you against a tree when another vampire came out of the darkness. He’d turned away from a moment and he heard you cry in pain. After seeing that the female vampire had bitten deep into your shoulder she began to caress him when he brought up that she had other plans and she ran off. By this point you were bleeding heavily and were very pale. So he ran with you in his arms all the way hear with tears falling from his eyes.” Sage now had tears in her eyes. “ He was pacing around the waiting room all night as they worked on you and talking about his love for you. When we finally let him in he ran to you but you were unconscious. He talked to you though, stoked your hair and held you close. Then he told you he’d be back as soon as he could and gave you a love bite on your right hand.” Sage was now dabbing at her eyes with a tissue.
Rayne was more occupied at the though of a love bite. “How can you tell it’s a love bite?” she asked.
“Oh ,easily! When they bite you its not deep , but little trickles of blood fall from the wound and shape themselves in to a heart. The most romantic part is that the blood wont wash off until your lover returns.” Sage sighed. “ I wish I had a sexy vampire lover!” Rayne rolled her eyes.
“I am weak . Now leave me, for I wish to sleep.” Rayne demanded. And with that Sage drew her curtains and left her in peace. As she fell asleep all Rayne could think was ‘That persistent bastard!’
