Among the Dead Ones (On Hold)

That Storming Night

After a long night doing some family business, I decided to take a walk. I need to clear my mind. The sky was in those distinguish colors between gray-blue and violet it was raining but not so hard from January weather and that doesn't bother me at all.
The smell of wet earth combined with the smell of the street and smoke glittering in the air hit my nose making clenched my stomach...not exactly pleased... Standing at the street corner looking at the light of the street, the tabloids shining hurting a little bit my eyes.
Living in New York have its benefits but also some disadvantage...A city that never sleeps. Where most the people don't care or don't put too much attention to what is going on real around them they just work and live their lives day by day but always ironic finding some time to waste time, someone took care...love...
But not me...I'm living too much on this earth to know exactly those feelings are a waste of time...
(Buzzing phone...)
Glancing at my phone without any kind of interest but immediately recognized the number and answered without not more choice. I didn't let her even ask me.
I'm fine... I just need clear my mind...I said moving from the corner I was standing, crossing, and keeping walking
I wasn't going to ask...
(Smiling myself)
My dear sister. I know you. Why do you always lie to me?... I said calm and continued with my walking
Uffff...okay I'm just worried ...okay...I have the right to worry about you. Can't I?...
Yes, you can. I'm just tired is been a long day...I said keep crossing the street passing through the fifth avenue stopping for a moment and looking up at all those tabloids' promotions making me exhale more exhausted than I'm already feeling.
Why you can't have fun like everybody else?...
Because I'm the responsible one...remember?...I said rolling my eyes at her comment.
I'll be in charge of our family since I lost the count since our father step away and spend the rest of his years next to mom.....I said looking to where to keep walking.
You are so party popper...
And you are still my party sister...I said smiling crossing now and making my walk to the park.
Come on!.... You work too much.
Besides all that was, she's saying. I was listening more to the music and the beat sound behind her making me smile knowing exactly where she is...
Where are you my dear one?..... I ask for very full of knowledge
Me....ahhhh...dancing...
You are in The Pyramid club. Did you?.... I said already at the bridge of the park resting my body over the fence observing the water running
Yes...I'm.....
I'm just exhaling out waiting very expected for her next comment.
Come here, my dear brother and we can have fun maybe you can find your companion at least for the night...Jaja...Are you already fed?
Don't do this to me...I said tensed clenched my jaw
You can't stay alone forever? You need somebody at your side is time you choose someone...
Those comments always put me on the wrong side.
Katherine!..I love you. You are my baby sister, my everything but my life is mine not yours to dig it at your pleased. Don't make me get angry with you...I said listening to how she breathed hard out very tense but also sad.
I just want to see you happy...at least once...
Her words warm my heart her constantly concerned about me but are a theme that no one has the right to cross, only me.
I'm happy with who I'm, so don't worry so much about me and have fun...I said without adding more words or waiting for her answer. I'm simply hanging up my phone and finishing our conversation. I have to stop her there but always let me think.
Companion!.... What difference can make?.....I said to myself in disdain.
Used my senses for a moment trying to distract myself by listening to everything the night ..her sound...the people walking..the laugh....the rain....a low sound....a mumbled one...
Curious closing my eyes focusing and followed that mumble sound making my skin crawl tensed and recognized that sound.....pulse.....also means. Opened my eyes tensed for many reasons but keep listening.
Someone is been hurt...right now at this moment.
I never interfere in any human stuff unless one of my people is involved but...
The mumble sound again..struggling ...I could walk away from it but something strange inside of me...against my chest.
I can't let it go....I mumble myself tighten my hand at the fence, trying to ignore it in any way not for what I was listening....it was that smell of....blood.
I never feel been so pulled or need to be so closer to someone. I'm the kind of those things don't move me. I'm always in control but now changing my eyes and moving faster following that smell, the pulse founding this guy over someone almost kneeling, hitting his hurting someone....a woman.
The anger invaded my body like a switch my blood boiled at a level that could burn not for the smell of her blood is of the abusive guy who was on top of her. Moving faster taking him away from her in one single move without thinking lifting him in the air looking straight at him knowing...I'm transformed...
Vampire!......the guy said gasping in panic
I just smile every pleasedly at his discovery.
Today is your lucky day...I'm finished saying that in one single move of my hand I snap the guy's neck and let his body fall like what he is ...garbage...
My breathing was erratic. I want to do more for him. I'm trying to control myself. I'm still angry looking at the guy's body on the floor until the sound of a very low heartbeat....fainted...the girl.
That pull again makes me leave his side and move myself to her side kneeling looking with horror all her body covered in blood forgetting even how I can react around blood taking my phone out and calling.
I need you to pick me up ..Now!....I said hanging my phone and moving my hands at her looking for a way to.....
Come on fight...I said very low watching how difficult was for her even breathing opening her eyes between consciousness and not looking back at me
You're safe...I said gently holding her against me watching how she closed her eyes and fainted.
A guy touching my shoulder... I didn't look back knowing who he was...
Pete ...I need you to clean this ..Where's the car?.... I ask straight uplifting the girl in my arms.
Pete just pointed me where was my car the other guys were already dealing with the body.
I'm just moving faster inside the car moving the chair back lying her gentle putting the seat belt moving faster to the other side turning on the car and driving like a mad man to the nearest closer hospital always concentrating on her heartbeat and forgetting the transit lights, forgetting everything.....
Hold on...I said tightly my hands against the wheel
I'll keep driving focus on her making a drastic u turning to cause a little trouble with the rest of the traffic car behind me but right now I don't care about parking in front of the ER...I'm right now in the Lincon Medical Center taking her out and almost running inside founding a nurse.
I've found her in the park, she's not breathing...I simple said desperate watching the nurse horror face when she saw her and calling the others nurses they came quickly bringing a stretch lying her gentle and move faster. I'm following her until one nurse stops me.....this strange pull again.
We gonna take care of her just waited here.....the nurse said with a worried face turning and walking in a hurry inside through that heavy door having this feeling inside my chest looking around strange.
That's was the last time ...I saw her...thinking myself .....What's gonna happen now?

Hours Later
I'm just resting my back against the wall still looking at my hands the smell of her blood still in my hands even after I clean it. Distracting me that's strange and no news about her.
I can't walk out because is already morning...
Sir......
Following the nurse's voice, I meet early walking at me
How is she?.....I ask anxiously awaiting
Out of danger ....the nurse said but the looking of doubt on her face for a moment make me think something wrong but that scent never fails. She's lying to me.
Moving away from the wall taking her arm gently and walking to the first room I found closing the door behind me making her face me and compelling her.
Tell me the true....I said in demand waiting. Her eyes getting glowing cloud with tears but also fear
I won't hurt you. I just want the truth....I said relax so she can't see I won't harm her.
She breathed hard out.
She almost die. She lose a lot of blood the guy who hitting the girl wants her really dead. She got an internal bleeding, broken bones no normal human can do so savage thing or survived and.....she's....the nurse suddenly stop pretty tensed
My instincts put me on alert and special attention to her last words in a warning.
She's......I ask tensed
She has been raped...the nurse said starting to cry desperately.
Closing my eyes pretty much angry knowing they changed, when I heard what he did but also happy because the guy is dead but was a quick one...he deserved to taste the pain ....hers.
Looking at the nurse and taking her back to the hallway
From now on anything happens you came to me. I'm gonna take full responsibility for her and I'm gonna make sure she won't be hurt ever again....I said releasing her from mine compelling watching her opening and closing her eyes confused.
What happened?......the nurse ask strange
You was explained to me what happened with her?....Can I see her?....I simply said smiling gently.
Ohhh...I totally forgot..yes, you can see her now...the nurse said walking confused. I'm just following her to the intensive area the last door of the hallway.
She's been sedate heavily almost provoking a coma, so she can heal more faster. The doctor is waiting for the test result....the nurse said opening the door she's staying at the door leaving me to walk inside founding any kind of machine around her but my eyes focus on that small face.
How long?.....I ask standing at her side touching her hand listening to her heart beating faster.....fighting......She wants to live...
Depends of her will of living......the nurse said concern.
We stayed in silence
Ahhh...this are her belongings. No wallet or purse, no I.d. with her only this was found around her neck...the nurse said giving me her things and a lovely neckless a heart blue sapphire.
Looking at her things still catching the guy's scent on her clothes closing my eyes anger turned my face and showed my back to the nurse ...I don't want freak her out the nurse.
How should we call her? they gonna ask for a name...the nurse ask to make me looking at her neckless thinking looking back at the nurse.
Safira....We gonna call her Safira.
