Once Beatrice was gone, Hannah turned her head to the side and coughed out more of the werewolf's blood. Disgusting.... She thought, trying to get rid of the burning in her mouth. Edward's going to kill me.
"We probably won't be back until midnight." Kairuto said quieter, heading out the door. "Try the park first." Rei suggested. "I noticed that Dai-chan likes to rest there."
"Put me down." Hannah told Beatrice. "Go get something for yourself." "But," Beatrice protested. "You need something too." "Not when my stomach will reject it." Hannah pointed out. "I don't feel well enough to eat, Beatrice. Just go get something." Beatrice reluctantly put Hannah back down. "What if he comes back?" "He won't." Hannah assured her, leaning against a tree. "Trust me." Beatrice nodded slowly. "I'll be as fast as I can." "Don't do that. You'll run into a tree." Hannah attempted a smile.
"I'm going out!" Kairuto called for whoever was listening. "Rei and I are going to prep for tonight!" He slipped his shoes on.
Kairuto leaned against his door frame, sighing. "She's such a worrier." "I know. You should make sure that she stays out of the way, partner." Rei said. "I know what it's like to lose someone precious." Kairuto nodded, heading down the stairs. "I will. I swear I will make sure she's safe."
Storm by Lighthouse
"We should get back.... I don't know... how loud that... gunshot was...." Hannah's knees gave out. Beatrice held Hannah up. To her surprise, it was as if Hannah weighed only a few pounds. "Hannah?" "Sorry," Hannah muttered, trying to support herself again. "It's okay," Beatrice assure her. "I'm going to make sure you're all right, Hannah." "I will be." Hannah said. "I don't think Van Helsing will be though." "He'll just grab a gun and run out here." Beatrice smiled.
Kairuto smiled and ruffled Becky's hair. "Now, really, go get some rest before you pass out." He moved his hand to her forehead. "You're burning up."
Hannah exhaled and then stumbled over to Beatrice and knelt by her. "Beatrice," She gently shook Beatrice. "Beatrice... wake up." Beatrice groaned and opened her eyes. "Hannah.... Are you okay?" She asked, trying to sit up. Hannah helped Beatrice to sit against the tree. "I don't think so.... That was a werewolf...." She was gasping for breath now. "Oh my God, Hannah," Beatrice supported Hannah as she swayed again. "What happened?" "I bit him," Hannah laughed weakly at her own stupidity. "Twice." "Aren't you not supposed to do that?!" Beatrice moved closer to Hannah to help her stand up. "I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to." Hannah gratefully accepted Beatrice's help.
"It's a shame if you don't." Hannah mumbled, losing her focus further. Dammit! Get rid of him NOW! She managed to get one of her hands free and punched Jake's jaw with all her strength.
Hannah started shaking. She battled with herself for only a breif moment and then shot the ground at Jake's feet. "I don't want to kill you! Please, just go!"
"I'll fire again!" Hannah warned. "Stay away!"
Hannah stepped on the gun at her feet. "I know all hunters enjoy a game." She spat out the blood in her mouth. "I don't though." She flipped the gun into her hands and fired at Jake, hoping she wasn't too bad of a shot.
"Leeches, huh...?" Hannah said, getting an idea. She bit into Jake again and knocked his gun away. Taking her fangs out of him, she kicked him off herself and stood up quickly, swaying.
Hannah started to feel lightheaded. "You're a werewolf?"
"Same to you," Hannah muttered and then bit into Jake's wrist. She pulled out at once, coughing out the burning blood.
Hannah lunged at Jake, knocking him away from Beatrice and onto the ground.
