In the Moon's Light

Chapter 37: Pain without love

Michaels' POV:

I carry her into the room as Sarah starts grabbing stuff out of drawers and the fridge. The professor follows right behind me as the main door shuts. I start to lay her down on the bed in the corner as Kat starts to shake her head at me and even glances at me once, before looking back down to the wall, the ceiling, the floor. Basically anywhere but at me.

"No Michael, not the main room. We had this room prepared earlier in the week."

I follow Sarah into one of the individual rooms, the one with the celled door. I lay her down on the bed after Sarah moves out of the way. I try to lay her down as gently as I can but she still cries out when her back touches the bed. I can't help but flinch away from her, she's still in so much pain and I only added to her pain. I can feel it, even as an echo the pain is almost unbearable. I go to step towards her and reach out to her before Sarah gently pushes me aside, helping her to sit up, while handing her a few bags of............blood?

Kat nods at her as she takes the blood, holding herself up by gripping the metal side framing of the bed. Sarah then goes to leave the room. I stay beside Kat, I can't just leave her in here by herself. I go to move towards her again and I see her flinch away from me before looking up at me with her red eyes. I still think that they are beautiful, but full of pain and anger just like they were when we first met. She is beautiful no matter what form she's in.

"GET OUT!"

"No Kat I'm not leaving you."

"Actually you are!"

Before I can move towards her again I'm thrown from the room and the door is locked into place. I stand up from the floor, brushing myself off, as the barred wall slides into place. No one touched me so it had to have been Sarah pulling me out with her power.

"Sarah what the hell?!?"

"Michael it wasn't me, it was her."

What?!? I turn back towards Kat and I watch as she opens one of the blood bags and..................drinks the blood. I turn and look at Sarah and see that she isn't shocked like I am, if anything she acts as this is normal. What the hell? I hear the Professor come in behind me but before I can say anything he's asking Kat a question.

"What happened?"

"Do.....do you have a projector?"

Her voice is weak and full of pain as she speaks. She glances at the professor all while avoiding eye contact with me of any kind. I don't understand, what's going with all of this? I see the professor nod towards Kat before going back upstairs to get one. I follow Sarah into the main room as she opens the fridge and grabs more blood. Am I only one lost by this?

"Sarah....what.....the blood.....why?"

"Michael....I shouldn't be the one to answer those questions. Let me help her and she can answer them. Now wash up your covered in her blood and then let me look at your leg."

I had almost forgotten the bite marks on my leg, and all I can do is nod my head as I wash away all of Katherine's blood from my arms and chest and throw on a t-shirt that Sarah handed me. Then I follow her back toward Kat's room and watch as she hands her more blood through the bars. Sarah forces me to sit in a chair nearby and as she treats and bandages the bite wound while I watch Kat mix something in with the blood from the small leather pouch around her neck.

My poor beautiful angel. I can still feel the pain radiating off of her.  She's still in half-form and hasn't really looked at me since we got back, not to mention she's drinking the blood, like it's........water. So she can turn into a wolf and drinks..........blood. Wait, what?
