Chapter-8

-Daniel

Ita been a few days since she left. All I've done is stare at the plain ceiling and think of her. I haven't brought myself to leave the room, in hope she may come back. But its been 3 days and part of me doesn't think she ever will.

Dragging myself out of bed, I shower and dress quickly. I have to leave soon, I can't stay in the same place for too long.

I pack my things and check out. The blizzard has finally stopped and the roads have been cleared to drive on. I get in my car and begin driving down the mountain to go into a small town. I need to get food before making a trip to Arizona.

I step into a diner and eat my food alone. The last person I ate with was Liv.. And I lost her. Just like everyone else. Its back to being alone, forever.

-Liv

Its been a few days in the same old motel room. All I could do was stare at the ceiling and think. I keep thinking about Daniel, and wonder if he's thinking about me. Probably not, but a part of me hopes so.

I finally managed to make myself get out of bed and shower. I dress and pack my things to leave. I can't stay much longer, they'll find me for sure.

I check out of the hotel and carry my bags as I walk down the street. I stare at the ground, thinking as I go. Maybe it would be for the best if they got me. It'll finally end so much. I'm tired of running all the time, I'm tired of losing people and getting hurt. I just want it to stop.

All I do is bring distruction and pain everywhere I go. I have nothing to look forward to anymore, and no one left in life. Everyone is gone, I left the last person I had. And all the others are dead, leaving me with no one but myself. So why deal with it anymore?

I used to always say, 'Live for Jamie' but he's gone. So what do I live for now?

I walk in to a fast food place and eat quickly. I'm not sure where I'm going yet, but I got to get out of here fast. I don't know how much longer I have before they find me again.

Leaving in a hurry, I walk through the town, trying to figure out how I'm going to get to a new place. I can't keep going on foot.

Peering over my shoulder, I make sure I'm not being followed. Its clear but I can't help but feel suspicious of someone.

I glance up at the roof tops. Someone's out there. I can smell another vampire around. Two of them. Where are you?

I catch the scent of a vaguely familiar vampire. Its Daniel. And the other..its a Celtarri. That, I'm sure of.

I hurry through the crowd of people on the street. They've found one of us. And I don't think its me.

I run down the street and stop a few feet away from the entrance to a diner. Everyone is gone, the street is completely clear in this area. Except him.

Daniel stands out front, looking perfect as usual. Except he's different, he looks more tired. I feel the way he looks, in fact I'm sure I look like it too.

The scent of the other vampire is stronger. And then I see him. At least 20 feet away or less. He pulls a gun from his waistband and I spring forward.

"Look out!" Before I know it, I'm shoving Daniel to the side and he falls as the gun goes off. I fall down in my place as pain incases my body. He wasn't shot, I was. I got to him in time.

"Liv!" Another shot is fired but its from Daniel this time. The man who shot me falls limply to the ground. In a flash, Daniel's leaned over me, examining my wound. "Liv...Oh Liv, why did you take the bullet for me?" His voice is strained, as if he's in pain and I soon realize he is. Seeing me shot is causing him pain.
