Cameron was carrying me down the hallway of the hotel, since I was too weak to walk. I wasn't completely awake nor asleep, a halfway stage in which I was aware of the things around me.
"Take her to her room, make sure when she comes put of it she doesn't do anything stupid."Lenny commanded strictly.
He did as told, walking me to my room and laying me on the bed. I decided I should wake up now. I summoned every spark of strength I had and opened my eyes. It was easier than I assumed, I thought I would pass put from trying. I guess I overestimated the amount of brain cells I had.
"Hey"Was all I could muster.
He tore his eyes from the window and stared at me, shocked.
"Hey. How do you feel?"Cameron put an arm around my waist, pulling me in closer.
"My neck hurts. What happened?" I didn't remember anything after we escaped the dungeon Aaron kept me in for a week.
"You don't remember?"He asked carefully.
"We escaped. Then everything else isn't there. Care to fill in the space?"
Cameron's P.O.V.
She doesn't remember. She doesn't remember Aaron surprise attacking us and biting her. She doesn't remember me taking the venom out before she could change. Nor does she remember me begging her not to leave us. Maybe it's better off that way.
"Let's just say your neck hurts because Aaron bit you."
Her jaw dropped. I pulled it back up so a bug didn't fly in or whatever. She gets up, one hand on her head, the other on her neck where she was bitten. The mirror reflects her reaction, wide eyes and shocked expression.
"Will I have scar?"She flinched when she poked the sore spot.
"Most likely."I answered honestly.
"What do I tell my Dad?"
"The truth."Her eyes meet mine from the mirror.
" 'Dad, guess what? I was kidnapped for a week, molested twice and bitten by a vampire. Did you miss me?' "She mimicked her future announcement.
"At least your not a vampire."I comment.
She's lucky I was there, and Lenny. She wouldn't be here if we weren't.
"Can I get something to eat?"Her stomach growls on cue.
I chuckle and fix her a sandwich. She devours it like she hasn't ate in a week. Probably hasn't. I make another one and hand it to her, hoping she'll be able to keep it down.
We sit back down and I start to ask about what all happens. Her answers are vague. She's holding something back.
"What's really bothering you, Hannah. You're not telling me everything."
"I'm really paranoid. It feels like they're lurking in the shadows, waiting to snatch me back. I don't want to go back."Tears start to well in her eyes and I know she told me the truth.
I hug her, wanting to comfort her."I won't let him get you again, OK? I promise."
I inhale her scent, and I get the scent of her sweet blood mixed with Aaron's cologne. Great, she even smells like him.
"You might want to take a shower. You smell like Aaron."
"Really? I did get these clothes from him. I guess I'll go do that."
Hannah got up, grabbed her pink Nike Duffel bag and walked into the bathroom. I stayed put, listening to the water drain. The water stopped running and I felt my eyes get a little heavier. I was tired, Leah had given me drugs before we escaped, and a side effect was drowsiness.
She walked back in, a wad of purple clothe in her hands. That dress looked so pretty on her. She should keep it. Maybe if I get things rolling with her, she could wear it on a date.
"You should keep that."I spoke up.
"Why?"She gave me a weird look.
"You looked pretty in it. It suits your personality well."I confessed shyly.
"Thanks. Do you want to hold on to it then?"She held out the dress.
"I don't think I'll be wearing it."I laughed at the thought.
"I know."She laughed also."I just don't want to be reminded of, this week for a while."
"OK."I took the dress from her and placed it in a bag.
She sat down next to me again, closing her eyes. I pulled her close to my chest, wrapping my arms around her. I felt my eyes starting to feel heavier, then drifted off into a slumber.
