Love Hurts, Love Bites

Chapter Nine - Beautiful stranger. I love them.

Everything went into slow motion, I watched as the bullet got closer to Sam and the stake got closer to Aaron, I guess Logan was right... I loved them both... but I couldn't save them both... I could only save myself but what is the point in that? If I try running Logan will probably shoot me, so here I am, watching both of my friends die, pleasent isn't it? I close my eyes and wait for it to be over, then for some reason I feel like I was swept away from the wind, then I notice the cold hands over my eyes, I open my eyes, yep, they were covered, all I can do is wait...

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Finally I feel the cold hands move and I open my eyes, I wasn't with Sam, Aaron or Logan anymore, "don't worry," I hear a strained voice say, I turn and see a girl, she was beautiful, a beautiful stranger, I look at her arm, it had a bullet in it, and her leg had the stake, I sniff the air, vampire...

"are you okay?" She nods, "are you with John or Logan?" She shakes her head, "thank fuck," I say, she laughs, and I watch as she pulls the stake from her leg and the bullet from her arm, lovely...

"I stole his gun too," she says tossing it on the floor, "but I left them, sorry I can't carry a 5' 5'' werewolf and a vampire at the same time," I nod,

"don't worry, you saved them it's okay, did you get the other stakes he had on him?" She nods and lifts up the belt with them on, I sigh in relief, "oh okay, good... what do we do now?" She shrugs and stretches out her hand, 

"I'm Laina Holland, your dad knows me, but would probably kill me if he saw me, I turned 2 years ago and I havn't seen your father in years... yeah," I nod,

"probably not best to turn on the doorstep and say 'hey remember me? Oh an I'm a vampire now!' That would end badly," she giggles so I do too,

"yeah, guess not, so, Lizzie, what do you want to do now, save them?" I nod, "we need to train you then," I nod... wait.. train?

"Train for what exactly?" Laina smiles,

"train for barging into Locke's base thats what, starting now," I raise an eyebrow,

"oh, okay.. what do we start with?" Laina claps her hands,

"tactics,"

"what like how to defeat them tactics or how to run from them tactics?" Laina thinks,

"we can do both, okay, all vampires have one weak spot which is?"

"The heart," Laina nods,

"yes the heart, but you just cant go straight for it, you have to learn how to make it a surprise, so.." she looks around and picks up a stick, "here," I take it, "pretend it's a stake and try and stab me in the heart," I lung for her and she moves, "see? It's pointless but I know how stupid vampires are,"

"us both," I mumble,

"shhh!" I bite my tongue, "okay Lizzie, stand in front of me again, okay? so If you aim for the right side of their body, your right, to get to the heart they'll move to there right and if you aim for there left hand side, your left, they'll move there left so you need to be ready to attack them again, go it?" I nod, "okay go for me," I go to the left hand side of her body, my left, and she moves to my right I lung again and come in contact with her chest, "good, now the other way," I do the same and come in contact with her chest again, "good, good, okay now running away tactic... don't,"

"excuse me?" I ask,

"you don't run from vampires, we are 10 times faster than humans and we can get to you, no the key is to hide, because well... your on a mountain... oh and the reason Jenny hasn't come looking for you is I said I was your aunt and I was here to collect you because you called and said you feeled sick, arn't I nice?" I nod, "I went personally to 'collect' you and then I found you just in time!" I nod,

"so you did,"

"anywayz," oh wow..., "so just try and hide, but not when they see you hide, crawl around in bushes for a bit and confuse them," she smiles, 'okay tell me why you want to help those boys?" I mumble the answer, "louder,"

"I love them," I say a tiny bit louder,

"normal speaking volume, please," I nod, "thank you," I take a deep breath

"I love them, okay?" She nods and crosses her arms, "and we are ready!"
