*KARA'S POV*
I wasn't mad.
Ace didn't kill him...so he wasn't wrong, but even if he would've...I really don't think that I would have minded.
I had wasted the day away in my little secret room in the library and lost track of time until I looked out the window and noticed it was dark, ultimately deciding to retire to my room.
Even though we hadn't had a run in with any vampires lately I was still pretty wary about wandering around the halls at dusk for fear of something or someone catching me.
I was so lost in my thoughts that before I knew it I had tripped over my shoe and cut my knee against the vent along the right side of the hallway.
The bleeding came instantly and I couldn't get it to stop.
I would've yelled for help, but I didn't want to wake up the whole school over a bloody knee so instead I tore my sweater sleeve and wrapped it around my knee before trying to hike up the stairs and failing. I hit the stairs on the eighth one up and tried to crawl my way up which was worse than walking. I was a little bit dizzy from blood loss so I knew unless someone were to come help me, I was going to pass out.
"Kara?"
I knew that voice. I looked up to see Ace approaching me with a worried look on his face.
"Ace."
"What happened?"
"I tripped and fell, it's not a big deal."
I was getting dizzier as Ace knelt next to me and tightened the sleeve around my knee causing me to wince in pain. Blood coated his hands and he acted like it wasn't even there as he picked me up and ran me up the stairs to his room. He opened the door and sat me down on his bed, rushing to the bathroom to get some stuff to clean the wound.
"Not a big deal, aye?"
He almost looked in pain as he went and he kept his head down ready to clean the wound. I untied the sweater sleeve and tossed it into the trash before he handed me a warm cloth to wash away the blood.
"Look at me," I stated, but he didn't. I hoped he didn't feel guilty. The look on his face was completely and utterly guilt ridden.
"This isn't your fault stop looking so guilty."
"That's not why I'm looking so guilty, Kara," he said and within a split second he had picked me up and sat me against the wall being very wary of my knee.
"Ace?"
"Kara, I-I-there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it."
He kissed my forehead before whispering, "You'll hate me."
"I couldn't ever hate you."
"Kara, I don't think you understand the severity of the situation."
"Is this about Fin? I'm not mad."
"No, it had nothing to do with him necessarily...more like his kind."

Vampire"Stop!" Kara cried straddling over me and pinning my hands above my head where the gun was out of my reach. I quickly retaliated throwing her under me and cowering over her hearing her melodic pulse in harmony with mine, but I ignored it. "I want to...
