Rhiannon walked into Sally's room.
"Hey Sal..."
Before she can finish her sentence, Rhiannon sees Sally on the bed, straddling a man, both of them semi naked, Sally's teeth sunk into his neck, blood staining his skin.
Rhiannon let out a soft
"Oh my god."
But not so soft that Sally didn't hear her.
Sally pulls away from the man suddenly, blood dripping from her teeth and staining her lips.
She begins to hiss, then realises it is Rhiannon stood there.
"Oh my god...baby girl...please, I can explain this..."
Sally starts to approach Rhiannon.
Rhiannon holds her hands up and backs away....
"Don't come anywhere near me Sally!" Yells Rhiannon.
"Baby girl..."
Rhiannon runs out of the room and up the hall.
"Rhiannon stop!" Yells Sally after her. "Just wait, let me explain!"
Rhiannon ignores Sally's pleas, and with tears streaming down her face, runs into Becki, nearly knocking her over........Rhiannon tries to push Becki away, until she realises who it is. When she realises it's Becki, she sinks into her arms and sobs uncontrollably.
Becki wraps her arms around Rhiannon and holds her close.
After a few seconds, Becki gently moves Rhiannon's head from her shoulder, to look at her face.
Rhiannon's hair is matted against her tear stained face.....she is still sobbing. Becki moves the hair back from Rhiannon's face with her fingers.
"Rhiannon, what on earth is the matter?!"
Through her tears, Rhiannon tries to speak.
"It...it...it's Sally...oh my god!"
"What...what is it...have you two had a fight?"
"Sally...Sally...Sally's...I don't know what she is. I thought I did...but I don't!"
"Okay Sweetie...take a breath...come on...you can do it."
Slowly, Rhiannon's breathing starts to come under control......."I just saw Sally...and she was...she was biting this guy, and she was just so...so vicious...and it looked so ugly and cruel...I don't know...I don't know what to think. It is like she is some sort of...I don't know...a vampire.....that's just crazy though."
Becki stayed silent, taking in all of Rhiannon's words.
"Wait..." started Rhiannon.
"You don't seem that shocked by this.......you know don't you...you know what she is?!"
"Rhiannon...I always want to be honest with you...so yeah, I know what she is."
"Honest...that's rich Becki...honest...when you kept this from me!"..."Rhiannon look, I'm sorry, but we were trying to protect you."
"Protect me?! Protect me...when you both let me be around that!"
"You are everything to Sally, she would never hurt you baby girl."
"How can I trust either of you again?!"
"Okay Rhiannon, I don't know...but you need to hear me and Sally out on this."
"I don't need to hear shit from either of you!"
Becki went silent, and in that split second, her eyes glinted red.
"Oh my god..." started Rhiannon, as she backed off from Becki, holding her hands up......."you're one too aren't you?!"
"What...what are you talking about?!"
"I saw it...I saw it in your eyes...oh my god...get away from me!"
That same second, Sally appeared at the far end of the hallway, behind Rhiannon.
Becki saw her, and raised her hand slightly, glaring at Sally to stay where she was........"No way...I don't fucking believe this...I can't be here...I've got to go!" Said Rhiannon, pushing her way past Becki.
"Rhiannon...Rhiannon!" Shouted Becki, as Rhiannon ran out of sight.
"FUCK!" shouted Becki, punching the wall.
Sally walked towards Becki, and Becki towards Sally...they met in the middle.
"What the fuck Sally?!"
"I'm sorry...I..." started Sally.
"She's just a baby...how could you let her see that?!" Said Becki, pushing Sally.
"Hey, don't you dare touch me like that, bitch!" Said Sally.
"You're gonna come at me like that...when you are the one who let this secret out like this!" Replied Becki.
"You knew Rhiannon was coming today...could you not contain yourself?!"
"What the fuck do you want me to say Becki?!"
"Nothing you can say Sally. We have just got to get Rhiannon back here...we gotta fix this...now!"...Becki grabbed her phone from her back pocket, and flicked to Rhiannon's number. It began to ring...Becki looked at Sally and whispered "go get your phone...we've both gotta keep trying!"
The phone rang out...Becki hung up and went to messages. Walking to Sally's room, Becky typed out a message: 'Hey Sweetie. Please come back to us...you are perfectly safe. Please let us explain this to you.'
Becki got to Sally's room and saw her sitting on the bed, with her phone in hand and tears falling down her cheeks.
She looked up at Becki.
"I fucked up, and now I have lost her."
"Yes Sally, this was a huge fuck up...but it's happened now...we just gotta fix it."
Becki looked around the room, realising she couldn't see the guy that Rhiannon had spoken of.
"Sally...where is he?"
"I threw him out the window."
"What?!"
"Oh relax...he was gone when I got back" said Sally, wiping the tears from her cheek with the back of her hand.
"Probably a pile of dust on the sidewalk...I don't give a fuck."
"Have you got in touch with Rhiannon yet?"
"No...no answer on calls or texts.
"Becki sat on the end of the bed and fell back, laying next to Sally, who was still sat up.
"I hope she comes back Becki...I miss her."
"Just got to give her time Sal."
"You know the Countess is gonna be pissed when she finds out about this." Said Sally.
"Well that is something we can deal with when it happens. Right now we need to get Rhiannon back here."
Becki took hold of Sally's hand and gently squeezed it.
"We'll get her back Sal...I promise. She just needs time to process this."Sally and Becki spent the next few hours calling and messaging Rhiannon every so often, but to no avail.
After what seemed like an eternity, there was a knock at the door.
Sally had fallen into a restless sleep...so Becki answered the door, to see Iris stood there.
"Hey Iris...what can I do for you?"
"You know the Countess is pissed don't you?"
"Well that was bound to happen Iris...but I'm not bothered about her right now. The only person I am bothered about right now is..."
Before Becki could finish her sentence, Iris moved and Becki saw Rhiannon stood behind her......"Rhiannon!"
Becki moved to hug her, but she moved back...a serious look on her face.
"Rhiannon, I am so glad you came back, we were so worried about you."
"Where's Sally?" Asked Rhiannon, with more anger than concern in her voice.
"She's sleeping....she cried herself to sleep Rhiannon."
Rhiannon's face softened, but she kept her distance.
"Are you gonna come in sweetie?" Becki asked.
Rhiannon looked into Becki's eyes...she saw the familiar red glint that she had seen earlier...but at the same time, she saw the familiar warmth she had always known in Becki's eyes.
She edged forward, and took hold of Iris' hand for comfort and support.
They walked in, and Becki walked over to the bed where Sally was still sleeping....Becki sat next to Sally and gently shook her to wake her.
"Sal..." said Becki softly.
"Sal...Rhiannon is here to see you."
Sally slowly opened her eyes and looked at Becki.
"She's over there" said Becki, looking over at where Rhiannon was stood , still clung to Iris, by the window.
Sally sat up and looked directly at Rhiannon.
"Baby girl..." started Sally.
Rhiannon looked into Sally's eyes...and even from the distance she was at, she could see the red glow in them...they were penetrating.
Rhiannon could feel her heart start to thump against her chest.
Sally smiles, and Rhiannon can see her sharp teeth...she pictures the blood dripping from them earlier, and squeezes Iris' hand tighter......Sally notices Rhiannon's fear, her smile fades, and a tear forms and falls from her eye...rolling down her cheek.
Rhiannon feels a tug at her heart.
She lets go of Iris' hand and slowly walks over to where Becki and Sally are, on the bed.
Sally holds out her hand toward Rhiannon.
Hesitantly, Rhiannon takes Sally's hand.
"Sally, I was so scared...I didn't know what to think. I freaked out...I have never seen anything like this before. What are you?"
Sally could feel Rhiannon's hand trembling in hers. She gently pulled her to sitting next to her on the bed.
"It was the Countess...she turned me."
"The Countess?"
"Yes baby girl. She knew I couldn't stand being dead and being trapped here...so she turned me, thinking I would be able to leave the hotel....but it didn't work, because I was already dead."
"So wait..." started Rhiannon.
"Why have you been turned Becki?"...Sally and Becki looked at each other...Becki moved closer to Rhiannon, so they were both holding her hands.
"Sally turned me sweetie."
"But why though?"
Sally put her hand to Rhiannon's face and turned her to look at her.
"I was becoming desperate baby girl...desperate to feed...and every time I saw you, my instincts went into overdrive, and I could hardly contain myself. I began to feed on myself..."....Sally's words caught in her throat, and she looked at Becki.
"Rhiannon..." started Becki.
"I caught her feeding on herself, she saw me...and I swear to god, in that moment, I thought she was going to kill me. She pushed me up against the wall and threatened to drain me."
Rhiannon suddenly dropped Sally and Becki's hands, stood up and backed away.
"No...no...if you can do that to Becki, I can't trust you Sally."
Becki stood up and walked over to where Rhiannon was now stood.
Rhiannon went to move away, but Becki grabbed her hand.
She took hold of Rhiannon's face with both hands.
"Rhiannon...she was feeding on herself to stop from feeding on you. She was poisoning herself, just to keep from hurting you baby girl."
Sally had begun to walk over to Becki and Rhiannon.
"Rhiannon...I couldn't let her poison herself, and I didn't want her feeding on you...she didn't want to feed on you...so I offered myself to her."
Sally was stood behind Rhiannon now.
Becki let go of Rhiannon and turned her to face Sally.
Sally took hold of both of Rhiannon's hands.
Rhiannon looked into Sally's deep red eyes...
"I trust you Sally...I love you."
