Vampire Stolen Heart

Chapter 14

(Dipper pov)

It's been almost a month. We've tried everything we can do but his body is growing weaker. Kill thinks he'll die at anyday now. I hate this, I hate how even with these vampire abilities that I am fucking helpless and unable to help him. "Ow, Dipper careful." I look down and see I was wrapping the bandages around Tad's arm too tightly.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I unwrap the bandages and start over.

"Are you okay? I know that the situation with Bill is hard on everyone, especially hard on you."

"Yeah, I've been fine."

"Don't lie to me. I can tell that you haven't been sleeping or eating. You're skinnier than a stick bug."

"I can't sleep....everytime I close my eyes I just see him getting shot over and over again....I can't stand it...."

"I know that this whole thing is fucking hard, but you need to take care of yourself."

"I'm not eating on purpose. I want to starve myself so that when I see the Pines I can truly make them pay for everything they did to us." I clench my fists, tightly feeling my nails digging into my palms.

"Relax, you're just hurting yourself by doing this."

I open my hands to continue wrapping Tad's bandages when a few drops of my blood drops on Tad's hand. I go to wipe it away when I notice the burns covering the back of his hand heal themselves. "What the fuck?"

Tad follows my gaze and his eyes widen seeing his hand healed. "What.....you healed me. How did you do that?"

"I-I-I don't....." I look at my hands that were still bleeding a little bit. "My blood.....my blood healed your injuries caused by Ford's weapons."

"Holy shit...."

"I'll be right back." I run out of there down the stairs to Bill's room, throwing the door wide open and rushing to him.

Gently pulling the blankets down I move his shirt up and gently take off his bandages seeing his wound looks worst than ever before. Looking down at my bloody hand I wipe the blood over the bullet wound. I wait for a good 5 minutes but nothing seems to be working. I start pacing the room feeling tears stinging my eyes as I grab a lamp and angrily throw it against the wall. "Fuck! Why won't this work?! I have literally tried everything to heal you!" I hug my arms to myself feeling like a mix of a sob and a scream were building inside of me, just waiting to burst. I can't do this anymore, I can't go on just waiting for him to slowly and painfully die.

Making sure the bedroom door is closed and locked so no one will try to stop me I roll up my jacket sleeve. I take off my leather bracelets as tears pour down my face. Taking a few breathes in and out to steady myself I bite down harshly on my right wrist and tear off skin and rip out the veins in my wrist. I spit the skin and veins out onto the floor as blood pours from my wrist. I have absolutely no idea if this will actually kill me but I really hope it works.

I go to do the same thing to my other wrist but a strong hand grabs my wrist, stopping me. I look up and my jaw drops, fresh tears coming down my face. "B-Bill......"

"Don't. Don't you ever fucking do this to yourself Pinetree." His face shows a mix of dissapointment, hurt and despair. Still holding my wrist tightly he pulls me to the bathroom. He sits me on the sink counter as he gets some needle and thread and stitches up my wrist then wraps a bandage around it, surprisingly I don't feel any pain at all. He gets a washcloth wet and gently wipes the blood off my face. He gently makes me look up at him. "Why? Why would you do this to yourself?"

"I.....I couldn't just watch you die....I did everything I could think of and nothing was working..."

"I'm here with you now, so don't ever think of doing anything like this again. You understand me?" I weakly nod my head yes. "You did something that no one else could, you healed me from a wound that has killed more of us than I can count. You did the impossible."

"I don't even know how I did it though. I was just reapplying Tad's bandages when I hurt myself and the blood dripped on Tad's hand and his hand got healed."

"I have never heard of anything like this happening, but thanks to you now we have an actual chance against that bastard Ford."
