shoulder. She closed the wound with force. Her dress was stained heavily under the shirt. Its wet sheen glistened from beside the white. The once white shirt was soaked through to her dress with dried red blood. Zack was realizing that Kyli had been severely hurt. Strangely, Kyli was moving as if nothing had happened to her.
Zack reached for Kyli's left hand. “Oh my god!-” Zack coughed. He had exerted himself too much. “What happened to you?”
“Well, he was about six foot tall with dark hair and a black suit.” Kyli smiled.
“Orhn did this to you?” Zack asked.
“Who else do you think could have down this to me?” Kyli switched hands holding the ice pack on her neck. She took something out of the glove compartment on Zack's side of the car. It was also chilled like a small refrigerator. This was definitely a unique car. Kyli poked a straw into the top of the pouch she had taken out and drank a bit.
Inside was a dark liquid. Zack couldn’t see what it was exactly. It was familiar to him, though he didn't know why. After a few sips, Kyli took the pouch to her teeth and ripped it open with ease. She dipped her right index finger into it and smeared it into the wound.
“Is that sanitary?” Zack squirmed.
“Relax, you're next.” Kyli put the small pouch into the middle compartment.
“What do you mean by next?” Zack leaned back. “What is that?”
“Trust me, it will help. Does it matter what it is?” Kyli replied.
“Well, if you put it that way.” Zack became quiet.
“Then calm down. We're about to leave." Kyli said to shut Zack up.
It didn't work. “Did he cut you? He didn’t have a knife on him when he was with me.” The type of injury was far different from what he had done to Zack.
Kyli sighed. “He bit me, Zack. What did you think he’d do?” Kyli said it as a matter of plain fact. Not as the random, out of place, strange thing that it was. She spoke as if it was a common occurrence.
“He bit you!? What the hell? Are you alright?” Zack had no appreciation for the little subtleties Kyli was trying to impress upon him.
Kyli was getting irritated by Zack. “Listen, I saved you didn’t I? It stands to reason that I wouldn't have been able to do that if I didn't know I had a chance at saving you, right? That I had an idea of what I was getting into?” Kyli tilted her neck away from the gash. “See for yourself, Zack. I’ll be okay by morning.” It was healing. Kyli was calm about it all. Not seeing a need to worry about anything.
Meanwhile Zack was sequentially freaking out with every answered question. “But your neck, you need to go to the hospital.” Zack wasn’t thinking about himself anymore.
“That’s sweet Zack. But I don’t think they’d know what to do with me.” Kyli smirked.
Zack didn't understand what she was trying to tell him.
“As I said, I'll be fine soon. Besides, you’re the one with two broken bones.” Kyli stared at Zack. “That was still sweet though.”
Kyli put her right hand onto Zack’s left cheek. It was surprisingly warm. It felt good to him. For a little moment Zack thought Kyli was going to kiss him. That he was having a tender scene with her. Right up until the second Kyli used her thumb to lift up Zack’s lip and check his teeth. She did it in the same fashion Orhn did in the warehouse. Zack pulled back, swatting Kyli's hand away.
“What are you doing?” Zack placed his hand on the side door, ready to open it. He had forgotten Orhn broke his right index finger. The motion of his clenched right hand caused the finger to snap forward. Zack flinched in pain. He was still angry over why Kyli was checking his teeth. He didn't mind the pain if he could get some more answers as to why everything was happening to him all of a sudden. “Why do people keep checking my teeth? What the hell is so special about my mouth? Why would a homicidal freak that thinks he is, and might actually be for all I know, a fully fledged vampire want
