"It's okay Beth, you'll be okay. Just breathe." I rub her back as she breathes in and out shakily, trying to gain her composure. I can easily tell she's shaken up from what happened to her. She looks at me in my eyes but I see an emotion other than fear and worriedness. She looks guilty. Why is she looking at me like she had done something? What is she hiding from me? This whole situation could be connected to why the flower burned her.. but surely not. Im sure she was just allergic. I hope so. I look away and sigh in relief, knowing that i've gotten here just in time. If I had gotten here later, she'd be dead. I would never ever let anyone I love die to those demons. Speaking of.. why did that vampire speak to me? He was staring at me strangely.
I couldn't tell what emotion he was feeling, and I don't think he knew either. All I can think about is his deep voice. I didn't know vampires could talk, papa always told me they couldn't, and they had no humanity left in them. Maybe there are things about vampires that we humans do not know. I need to discover more to help the town survive. Why did that vampire ask me my name? Is he hunting me? Am I a target? Oh god. I don't want to die anytime soon. But I will easily put myself in danger instead of my loved ones. I need to find out more. I've become curious.
"Hey, Sylvia?" I'm suddenly snapped out of my thoughts as Beth talks to me in a sweet tone. "I want to go home. It hurts." My eyes widen and I nod multiple times. I slowly pick her up in my arms and I make sure she's comfortable. It's still dark, almost pitch black. The demons will be able to sense her bleeding. Ill protect her either way, no matter what. I make my way through the grassy field, Beth is looking at the midnight stars. I'm sure its beautiful, but I have no time to wander. I need to focus on protecting her. My legs hurt, my arms hurt, everything hurts. I'm covered in dirt and grass because of that ignorant vampire. I sigh and I see the bright candlelight of the village ahead. I quicken my pace as I feel watched, even though I cannot see anyone but Beth. I made it into the village at last, and I let out a huge sigh. I'm hopefully safe now. God I hope so. I start trodding toward the medical hut and quickly. I slam the door open and swiftly put Beth onto one of the beds. Multiple people start to come to Beths aid. I sit down a couple beds away and I shut my eyes. I slowly drift off, exhuasted.
