The Beholder

The Beholder Chapter 7

*Kathrine's POV*

Jace left over an hour ago. Maya stopped by and dropped off the Meds. You remember how that Vampire nicked me, yeah well now my body is fighting the poison, but don't worry I'm immune. I heard the doorbell ring so I got up off the couch to answer it. "Oh hi Mrs. Stevenson. What brings you here?" Mrs. Stevenson is my cooking teacher at my school.

"Oh nothing darling just dropping by. Maya said you were sick so I thought I'd make chicken casserole and bring it by." She said.

"Thank you, I would ask you in but seeing as how I'm sick I don't want you to catch it." I replied, she nodded her head and handed me the casserole then left. I decided that I should check on Rose and give her more medicine and make her eat, "Rose how are ya doing?"

"Alright. Just hungry."

I smiled and pulled the plate of food from behind me. I grabbed the tray and helped her sit up and put the food in from of her. "I'm so glad my mom's out of town, she would've freaked." Rose is staying at my house while her mother is in Hawaii.

"Yeah, take your pills before you eat." I said sitting down on the chair and eating my own portion of the casserole.

"You don't look to good Kathrine. You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine. My body is immune to the poison that the Vampire injected me with. I'll be fine by tomorrow. You on the other hand won't be fully healed for the next three days." I said, Guardians and Beholders heal super fast it has something to deal with the cromozones and blood cells that makes us heal so fast. She nodded her head and started eating. I finished eating my portion of the casserole and walked back into the living room. I turned off all the lights, cleaned up the kitchen and then dragged myself up the steps and into my bedroom, once ther I collapsed on the bed and passed out.

The next morning I made pancakes for Rose and I and took her tray up to her bedroom, "Morning Rose. I made breakfast. When you're done I gotta re-bandage your wounds." I told Rose.

"That's fine with me."

Before I could reply the door bell went off. I excused myself and went to answer it, "Hey Jace, come in. I was just about to redress Rose's wounds." I told him, leading him up to Rose's room, "Alrighty Rose sit up if you can and turn your back to Jace." She did as she was told and I grabbed the gause and rewrapped her wounds.

"It looks like they will be healed by the end of tomorrow. Jace since she's incapacitated right now, we will only patrol for and hour or so in day light." Remember when I said they only come out at night, right? Well it's true but if the demon you're specifically go after has a pod, or clan, of the same species that congregates at one destination, you can hunt them. It's easier that way for the Beholders because they either are sleeping or are to drowsy to fight back. I haven't gone clan hunting for a long time, but right now this is best with Kathrine being hurt.

"That sounds good. What time?" Jace questioned.

"In an hour or so. If we go clan hunting now we wont have to when it gets dark, plus then it's easier to kill them that way. And I know I said that we can only hunt at night but that only applies for when we only want to kill a seperate demon, and not a pod. If you want you can stay here, all I'm going to do is get set up for a clan kill."

"I think I'll stay and watch you to learn how to do it." He replied.

"That's fine, it saves me the time later on, on teaching you it. This is the perfect example of how to find and use certain weapons for certain demon's and certain groups. Like let's say we have a machette dipped in silver and the tip and hilt encrusted with gold. Who do you kill with a sword like that? Well the silver is good to seriously injure or kill a Werewolf and the gold tip is good to kill a Lokey. But is it good in a raid against a huge coven, maybe as a back up but not enough rang or protection.
