Half a Soul

chapter nine

After Jared left I ran to my room..
Grabbing a pillow and blanket I returned to star in the kitchen..
Carefully I placed the pillow under her head...being very careful not to touch the top of her head where he had removed her scalp.
My eyes roamed over her body taking in all the damage that still need to be healed..
I cursed to myself....
I need more then my blood alone to heal her..
But I had sent Jared away to inform John of the situation...
I covered her body with the blanket..
Looking at her pale face, I knew I would give her every last drop of my blood if it meant she would live..
I was no longer the man who followed
And up held are laws...
Because are laws clearly stated we were not to give humans our blood..

I knew why of course........
Back in the dark ages, we where hunted for our blood.
The magic cure for all human diseases
And I didn't help it would also slow down their aging process.

Somewhere Along the lines...
Vampires became known as the blood drinkers..
But in reality we eat and drink just like humans, but unlike humans we only need to consume food every couple days
Yes we heal really fast and we live a very long time... but we are not immortal....
Or average lifespan is 8 to 900 years old.
I myself was 226 years old, and unlike the humans we still retained are magic.
Humans used to have magical abilities.
But it was believed they were stripped of all their powers when one used it against mother earth..
The source of all magic..
Humans believe the planet nothing but a big piece of rock .
The other species right down to all the animals know she is a living thing.
She is to be honored and cherished.

Shaking myself from my thoughts I set about healing my little star....
I pulled her mouth open a little bit taking out my pocket knife I once again slit my wrist open...
Like she some how knew what she needed to do star began to swallow the blood filling her mouth..
With each drop of my blood our connection grew.
I could feel her hiding in the darkness of her mind ,still waiting for death to claim her...
So I talked to her..
I told of the place I wanted her to see and of all the different foods she still need to try..
I smiled a little when she informed me Fried Chicken was always going to be here favorite
And I suppose you want mashed potatoes with that I whispered into her mind..
Of course, there no other way to eat fried chicken then WIth mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh don't forget the biscuit.
I laugh..
She was starting to wake up...
I had just slit my wrist again and had just placed it back to her lips when her eyes fluttered open...
The most beautiful blue I had ever seen..
She started to struggle attempting
To push my wrist away from her mouth...
No.......
I said firmly holding my wrist in place..
You need to drink......
No she screamed..
Great now she was going to fight me on this..
In normal fight one could just walk away.....
But when the fight was going on inside your heads there's no where to hide...

I said your going to drink I growled..
And I said I won't drink..
I am not drinking blood..
I pulled my wrist free and stumbled backwards..
I was on the verge of losing too much blood...
I could feel my body getting weak..
I looked at the top of her head...
Her scalp had grown back and I could see tiny specs of hair..
I growled and took a step towards star..
A hand landed on my shoulder..
Hold on there cowboy....john laughed.
Shit I hadn't felt him flash in.....
My scenes weren't at 100%..
And with a zombie hunting star they needed to be..

I tured to face John and was shocked to see Jared standing beside him..
I think you donated enough blood today my friend Jared said...
John went to step around me..
A surge of a fear had me grabbing John's arm..
I realized instantly it was coming from star...
I tured back to her grabbing her hand and placing my hand on her cheek ...
It's ok sweet one they won't hurt you.
Her eyes darted from me to them,then back to me..
Under my hands I could feel the pain from the wounds that hadn't healed yet...
I looked her in the eye's... And said out loud...
Please let me finish healing you...
I didn't care my brothers heard me begging..
She was still in pain...and I knew I could take that pain from her.....
I was surprised when a loud no came from behind me...
I tured to my brothers growling....
She still in pain dam it..........
We know they said in unison that's why we're here
YOU given her enough it's our turn...
My heart swelled....
My bothers where willing to break
The law to help me...
