Vampire Entry 1 (continued)

Arywin ran through the doors of the hospital and stopped just inside the entrance. People and doctors were running passed her back and forth. She looked around the area, trying to find someone that could help her. Finally her eyes spotted the nurse at the welcome and information desk. She literately ran to the desk and placed her hands upon the cool marble surface. The woman looked up at her approach.

“I was told that to come here by Libby? Um she said-”

“Oh yes, take the elevator to the third floor.” The lady indicated. She pointed down the hall to the little elevator sign hanging from the ceiling. Arywin took off to the elevator. She pressed the button and waited for the doors to open. She stepped inside the elevator box when the doors flew open. With shaking hands, she pressed the third level button and the doors shut.

When they opened again, Arywin stepped out into a little lobby area. She scanned the area and saw Libby rise to her feet. She ran across the room and threw her arms around Arywin.

“Oh Ary, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what happened.” Libby choked through her tears. Fear spread across Arywin’s face at Libby’s words.

“Libby, what happened?” She asked taking her friend’s shoulder and pulling her away too look her in the face. Tears streamed down Libby’s face as she shook her head trying to get rid of them.

“Rave and I were out hunting in the woods. Everything was fine until a grizzly came out of no where. I was eating when the bear started to attack. I didn’t think, just stood there as the beast came crashing towards me. Suddenly Rave pushed me out of the way and then the bear’s claw slashed down on Rave’s chest.” Libby choked again trying to hold back the tears.

Arywin looked around the area and spotted two chairs in the corner. Gently, she guided her friend to a chair and then sat down beside her. “Keep going, Libby. Tell me what happened.” She encouraged.

Libby hiccuped and then continued. “Rave feel to the ground after the bear clawed him but then he was back on his feet. I wasn’t sure exactly what he did but the next thing I knew; the bear was running back into the woods.” She took a deep breath. “Well I then ran to him and helped him through the woods back to the car. As we walked back, two other vampires stepped into our path. One was about Rave’s size and the other was about 14 years old.

I could see in their eyes that they were hungry.” Libby looked around and then leaned close to Arywin so only she could hear. “Both of their eyes were red and thirty for blood. Rave then pulled away from me to acknowledge the older one but he went crazy. He attacked Rave as the 14 year old jumped at me. I tried to keep the young one off of me but then he turned and attacked Rave. I saw him leap at Rave and sink his teeth into the side of his neck. I ran over and attacked both of them. The younger one ran away screaming when I hit him a couple of times but the older one was harder to defeat.

When I finally did chase him off, I turned and found Rave in a pool of his own blood. So I did the only thing that I could think of. I called Dr. Maxner here and he came out and got Rave.” Libby covered her face with her hands. “I was never so scared in my life. I thought that we might loose Rave.”

“How does Dr. Maxner know about us?” Arywin asked.

“He’s another vampire.” Libby explained through her hands. “He and his wife are. When they fill out the paper work for vampires, they just fill in the human stuff. Like pulse and breathing, stuff like that.” Libby lowered her hands and looked at Arywin. “Ary, I’m so sorry. I didn’t think this would happen. I didn’t want this to happen.”

Arywin wrapped her arms around Libby. “Everything’s going to be ok. Rave is stronger than we both think. He’ll survive and we’ll be laughing about this in a couple of years.” Arywin replied softy even though inside she was scared to death. However she pushed that aside to comfort her friend.

Libby pulled away from Arywin and looked around. Her sad face turned into a frown when she looked back at Arywin’s face. “Where’s Daniel? Where’s your date?” She asked confused.

Arywin ran a hand through her friend’s curly hair. “I sent him home. I told him that I needed to be with you guys and that he should go back home. I said that I’d call him tonight
