Blood Darkness, infinite Love Part II

I can’t seem to keep my eyes open.  Lying in this hospital bed is causing all sorts of discomfort that my best bet is just to stand up against the adjourning wall.  I could probably gain some semblance of a real life.  My dear Anton, what happened out there?  I remember falling and you holding me tightly twisting and turning to guard me from danger.  I’m not sure if I should have helped you or just allow you to believe you could save me.  The memory brought the feeling of tears swelling up within me but I could feel no wetness. I must be dehydrated.


My sweet husband, my hero.  What has become of your body?  I know I had no broken bones , so I assumed they were examining and reexamining me wondering how did this happen. I had to find his body, I had to know what those creatures wanted with him.  The one that held me until I became lifeless in his arms looked more like a “Neuntoter” than a Nosferatu.  These soldier vampire were different from the Nosferatu.  I’ve seen the difference between the two but this really had me confused.  This wasn’t Eastern Europe. Why were they in Tennessee? Did Anton have anything to do with them?


“Good Morning sugar, it’s a pleasure to see you up and awake.  You were up and down all night long.” She looked familiar, must be the same nurse from last night.


“Good morning”.  My throat was so dry.  I must have sounded like a man.
“Can I have some water please, it hurts to speak.” I didn’t see anything near me.  I must have been out so long that they took it away or I drunk more than I thought.


“Sure darling, we had some more X-rays done last night and you had to have an empty bowel. But no problem hon, I’ll be right back.”  I knew it.  The questions were beginning before I was even conscience.  She skipped out of the room looking fresh from what ever happened while I was comatose.  Sleep, caffeine or drugs, not sure.  I needed something, i still felt drowsy and confused.  Not sure if I was fully awake or were the images around me just residue of past memories. I squinted to focus at the door way, who was that leaning towards me?


“Excuse me sir, you can’t come in here until the doctor speaks to her. And she is in no condition or coherent to speak to anyone freely after her ordeal.”  The nurse was a sweet heart but the man made me nervous the way he stared at me with his judgmental eyes.  He had no features like the others that attacked us.  The Neuntoter or those other creatures.  Lord, those creatures are still giving me the creeps.  Just thinking of them made me hold myself from shaking nervously.


“Its Ok, I can wait.  I want her to be at her best of health.”  His voice was low and stern.  Made me wonder what his purpose or occupation was.
“What do you mean by that?”  He just pissed me off.  Who the hell did he think he was? He spoke like he knew me, or of me in some way.

“Hon, just lie back and sip this water slowly, don’t you mind him none” These reporters want to plaster lies all over the place so don’t you fret none.” Reporter? He was no reporter.  I could feel it.  More of an investigator or nosey ass cop.

“You heard me, what the hell do you want?”  My cries of anger bounced off of his back as he slowly shuffled his way down the hall.
“Nurse, who was that and how long has he been here.  Has any one else beside him been standing around watching me like a freak show?”  This was stressing me badly, I was becoming angrier and these tubes and monitors began to hurt.


“Calm down, now, just calm down.  No one will be bothering you until the doctor can speak to you ma’am.  I promise” What the hell did that mean?


“Promise, what do you mean promise?  My husband promised he would be right back.  He promised it would be Ok.  And you’re promising me no one would bother me?  Do you know what the hell I just been through?”  My tolerance has ended I needed answers.


“Please ma’am, your blood pressure is rising and the EKG is moving much to fast.  This will help you a bit”.  She reached toward the IV bag and began to release a faster flow.  What was this?  My mouth got dry and I slumped down into the bed again.


“O no, what are you giving me?  Why are you doing this to me, why are you…….why?”
I drifted off lightly but not until I saw the man at the door enter the room with a few doctors, with a syringe easing towards me. The white coat sporting a expression of fear and inquisitiveness.  I could hear my own voice fading in the background, “Anton, where are you?” I passed out reliving the past night

Where did he run off too?  This man will be the death of me one day.  The way he was talking at first I thought he found something about my past.  No one here knew of my past, why would he.  Girl, stop thinking crazy.  But still, where the hell did he go?  The night wasn’t cold but I felt a chill being here alone sitting on this boulder wondering what caused all of this.

Watching my husband, running off into the woods like a knight in shinning armor with no horse, armor or , protecting me from what ever.  I loved him so.  I couldn’t return him to my sisters, I fell deeply in love with him and would not give him freely to the Omuli.  He was my mate and I would be with him until he died.  This man I would never leave.

“Was macht du heir?”  My God who the hell was this sneaking up on me in the darkness? The shock of him coming up behind me so quickly left me unable to scream out.
“Nicht verstehen? Do you understand me?  He grabbed me and lifted me with ease.  His tall frame, pale and lanky under the black hooded robe he wore seemed majestic, yet deadly fearful.  But my shock wasn’t fear it was amazement of seeing this creature here in the United States.  He was unaware that I knew what he was.  I played into his sense of superiority.

“Please, who are you?  Where is my husband?”  Was this the danger; was this what my dear Anton was trying to guard me against?

“Wo ist he?” His voice seemed to get angrier once I mentioned my husband.  He was Vampyre, so what did he want with him?

“Please I don’t know where he his, what do you want with us?”  Keep talking, he has to give me something, anything about why is this happening.
He looked at me and threw me to the ground snarling, dirt falling from his arms, fresh from his nine day awakening. 

Suddenly, figures ran from out of the trees.  My fear became real.  Men, a cross between wolves and something more sinister rushed past me. Cuddled to the leg of this dead thing and looked up in obedience.  They snarled at me while he whispered to them pointing to the trail towards the main road.  I have never seen anything as frightening as these creatures in real life. 

I begin to shiver, not from the cold breeze seemingly coming from their dark presence, but from fear.  They must have sensed it, they pawed closer and closer sniffing at the air then towards me.  Fangs dripping with saliva and what looked like blood and flesh. Their red eyes frightful yet beautiful as rubies glaring, towards me, I couldn’t take any more. 

I closed my eyes and held my self tightly as I felt their hot breath on me as they hovered over me, taking in what ever it was they were using it for.  I was afraid and I was alone. 

I heard them scurry off into the woods but the Neutoten remained, standing near, waiting for something.  Regarding me as an after thought, I meant nothing.  A nuisance, a petty distraction to what was something more than I could imagine.  We waited, for what it was he wanted, craved, and desired, together.
