My Blood On Her Lips (GXG)

4. Blonde!!!

Selina POV

I jump down from the hospital window onto that wretched alleyway from the last time I was stealing blood. The memory of Soleil being touched by that freakshow still makes my blood boil.

As I'm about to leave I hear a strange sound behind me. A...crossbow? As I hear the arrow whistle I step to the side, gripping the arrow as it's about to pass me. I throw it to the side and turn around to face the culprit.

I see a man dressed in all black, wearing a creepy mask. He is already reaching for another arrow as I charge against him with unhuman speed. He shoots another arrow that I just barely dodge. As I come closer I'm already preparing to bite his neck clean off, but I suddenly feel a sharp pain on the side of my torso. A fucking stake?! Gah, I have to get this patched up. I punch the man straight in the face, feeling his bones crack in the process, before running away, making sure not to leave any tracks.

Soleil POV

It's already nighttime and I'm freaking out because Selina hasn't returned yet. What if something happened to her? What if she was seen?? What if she got caught?!! What if everything was just an excuse and she's already out of the city???!!! I try to calm myself down, then I hear a loud thud nearby.

My eyes widen in fear. I wish Selina would be here. What if it's some creepy men again? I step out of the car and turn around, walking a few steps to see where the sound came from.

I walk behind the car, what I see makes me cover my mouth in shock and fear. I see Selina laying on the floor, obviously wounded. "Selina! What happened!?" I rush over to her and fall down on my knees next to her, quickly searching for the wound.

I see a wooden thing - a stake I realize - in the side of her torso. A wave of fear and rage washes over me. Stake... Is it possible?... Someone already knows she's a vampire!? That fucker! How dare they!! "Selina. Who did this?" I ask in panic.

She only groans in pain and looks at me pleadingly. "Soleil...get the...stake out. It hurts...if I touch it... Please...I'll die if you don't do it..." She grits out through her teeth in agony.

She looks at me, her eyes fluttering open and close and her hand clenching the bleeding wound. I feel anger and sadness seeing what kind of a state she's in.

I gently run my hand over her arm to soothe her and then grip the stake. She flinches a bit and I quickly remove my hands, partialy freaking out, not knowing what to do. "Soleil... Just pull it out quickly," she orders weakly.

"A-alright," I stammer, afraid of hurting her more. I put my fingers around the cursed weapon and try pulling it out of her wound. But it barely budged. Fuck. She groans in pain: "Pull...harder," she coughs and I blanch white as a sheet as I see blood spill out of her mouth. "Ok, here I go..."

I take a deep breath, gripping the stake and pulling it with all my might, doubling over as it comes out of her torso. "Agh," Selina groans, then sighs, the pain slowly lessening. I cry in relief and quickly stand up to check her wound.

I remove the remaining splinters, take out a band-aid and clean her wound. She doesn't flinch while I do that and that makes me glad. I patch up her wound and she sits up slowly.

I throw my arms around her, feeling tears in my eyes: "Don't ever scare me like that, ever again!" She wraps her tired arms around me and kisses my cheek. I freeze, confused and gaypanicked at the same time. "I'm alright now, you saved me. So none of that crying," she looks at me softly. I bury my head in her shoulder and scratch her head, calming down slowly.
