Gold Lights

Chapter 50

"I can't take it anymore," Oliver said as he rubbed his chest. Only five minutes are left until they were past their limit. "He's not going to get back in time."

Rayvon and John were doing their best to comfort him, but they were feeling helpless, just like everyone else.

"I don't think he's coming back," Zachariah said to Jed. They were sitting in the snow and watching the air extremely close.

"He has to," Jed said. He was beginning to feel really upset. Poor Oliver, he knows they're close to their limit now and there was very little he could do, except try until failure. "I'm going to heaven."

Zachariah watched his friend stand up. His face looked determined.

He thought about it and realised that yes, he would also do anything he could to get Vinny back.

"Jeduthun," He said as the angel flashed his wings. "I'm coming with you. We're doing this together."

Jed nodded and took a breath.

"We have to get him home," He said and the angel could see how much it meant to him.

Vinny was part of his family and he would not stop until he got him back.

* * * * *

Vinny was sitting in a first aid room at the back of the mountain rescue building.

Luckily, there was a doctor on hand today who could attend to his wrist without needing to go to the hospital.

His wrist was put in a cast. There was no way that he would heal like a Vampire if he was going to be past his limit soon.

The woman Caroline was staying with him in the room but Vinny didn't even look at her. He didn't know why he was sitting here but every time he tried to leave, she would stress and say he had to stay for his results.

He had his head scanned just in case, but he was completely fine.

He was a little concerned that they'd come back odd and unusual. He is a vampire and a lot of things about him are very different compared to a human body.

He then realised that he should probably make a run for it before he exposes himself.

He jumped down off the bed, trying not to wince with the pain in his chest.

As he walked towards the door, the woman put down her papers and quickly stood up.

"You have to stay," She said and grabbed his arm but Vinny doesn't take orders from anyone.

"I'll do what I want" He grumbled and pulled his arm away and walked through the door.

The woman to his annoyance continued to follow him.

"What if it's serious? What if you need-"

"I'm fine," Vinny said as he straightened out his waistcoat and carried on walking.

"But you could be really-"

"Look," Vinny said and turned around. "I appreciate your help, but I need to go home."

The woman watched as he turned and walked back through the little cafe. She knew she shouldn't keep pestering him but he was a mystery and he shouldn't have survived in such weather with just a shirt and waistcoat.

What was he doing before she found him?

"Wait," She said and followed him.

Vinny silently rolled his eyes but discretely gripped his chest. He was struggling so much but on the outside, he kept a good poker face.
