The look on Bernardo’s face would have been priceless if my heart had not been trying to rip itself out of my chest. I’m just glad he decided to walk out as if he’d seen nothing. He closed the door quietly and I moved from the floor. It would do no good to just sit there so, after pulling myself together, I went to introduce Bernardo to my family. They needed to know that they could trust him. Leaving him with them for the night, I retreated to my and Edward’s room. I curled up on the bed and hugged Sigmund as tight as I could. The knowledge that, when morning came, I would be leaving…with or without Edward kept running through my head. Every time I thought that he might not return, my heart would squeeze tightly. I attempted to sleep but I had not been able to get a wink. Groaning at Bernardo’s knock I drag myself from the bed to answer. We took a few moments to decide where we should go before we packed. My family was withdrawn. Can’t say I blame them since I was pretty much wishing my life straight to hell. I packed as slow as I possibly could without raising Bernardo’s suspicions, in the hopes that Edward would make an appearance…soon. When all the bags were loaded I knew I couldn’t stall anymore. Having everyone buckle in, I couldn’t help but look one last time at the room Edward and I had shared. I give a sigh and start to head out to the car, breaking into a run at the sound of Bernardo shouting my name. That’s when I saw Edward. Broken, bleeding and trying to stumble along without Bernardo helping him, he finally submits and leans into him. Seeing him hang in defeat has my heart jump in my throat and I can’t help but exclaim…
“What the fuck did they do to you?”
No matter how much damage was done, I feel elated that he is here. At his silence, I try to calm myself and wave Bernardo into the room. After he lays Edward on the bed I shove him out.
“Keep an eye on my family and, no matter what you hear from this room, Stay Out!”
Not waiting for a response, I slam and lock the door. Turning back to Edward I survey his wounds. What are we going to do? There’s no way we can move him in this condition and I am not leaving him behind. I hear him mumbling and move closer to try to hear what he is trying to say.
“Anita…need Anita.”
Feeling tears threatening, I grasp his hand lightly and gentle my tone.
“Edward, I’m here. You’re here with me.”
He relaxes into the bed at my voice.
“Good.”
Geez, even broken and bleeding he’s succinct. I need to see all of the damage before I can figure out what to do. My fingers trembling, I start to remove his clothes. Once I see what they’ve done to him, I can only imagine the strength it took for Edward to make it here. My God, his clothes stuck to some of the wounds and I had to peel them off of him. FUCK! There’s so much blood! Without immediate attention, he’s going to die. FUCK!
“Edward. I don’t know what to do.”
He groans but seems to have passed out. Ok, I can do this. Do what, I don’t know, but I can do this.
‘OK, think, Anita.’
I can’t get him to a hospital in time. FUCK! Even if I did get him to a hospital in time, how could I leave him there knowing that whoever did this would probably come back? Not only that but I still have Olaf out there and I can’t just forget about him.
“FUCK!”
A phantom memory pulls at the back of my mind. Raina! No! She’s too dangerous. She wants too much from me. She may be able to save him. Am I willing to give her something if she’ll help me? There’s only one way to find out. I open the ‘box’ I shoved her into.
‘Can you heal humans?’
Her laughter chills me.
‘I’ve never tried. Humans, break so easily. What’s the point?’
‘Do you think it would work or not?’
‘I’m not sure and I’m not very interested in finding out.’
I inhale slowly and try to remain calm.
‘I don’t care if you’re interested or not! Edward is dying and you are going to help…Now!’
‘I’ll help. I’ll put Death out of his misery.’
‘He is not going to die.’
Raina is silent for a moment before she laughs. Even dead, her laugh is sultry and scary.
‘You love him. How quaint. Death and the Executioner. It’s a match made in hell.’
‘Be a bitch later Raina, right now help me heal Edward.’
Raina pauses as if she is considering what I’ll give up for her help.
‘What do I get?’
‘What do you want?’
I could see her smile. She nods towards Edward.
‘Him.’
‘Be more specific.’
‘Not many have been given able to taste Death. Let me enjoy the smaller wounds as I heal the most serious ones, provided I can of course, and I’ll help save him.’
That is some fucked up shit. Of course this is Raina. I try to weigh how Edward would react if he ever found out. Hell, he’d probably never speak to me again, or at the very least call draw down on me, but at least he’d be alive.
‘Done, but you can’t make anything worse.’
‘Would I do that Honey-lamb?’
Without further comment I reluctantly give her control over my body. I hope I don’t regret this. Moving sinuously, she uses my muscles like no human does and bends over Edward’s body. Trailing her tongue along the rough edges of the knife wound that is positioned just under his ribcage, she begins to lap at the blood.
‘Raina, move along.’
‘Patience, Anita. I’m just savoring the temporary freedom.’
Deciding that she might as well take more of what she craves, she stabs her tongue into the wound, making my mouth fill with blood. Fighting back the nausea, I hear Edward groan, but he makes no movement. I pray that he will live as she moves along his body, licking and sucking, building the power higher. I couldn’t help my excitement at the feeling. I close my eyes and she plasters my body to his. With my body wet with his blood, I feel the power rush into him. Drained I can only hope this worked. Exultant, Raina rolls off of Edward so he can sit up. He is healed and slightly stunned. We’d done it! Sometimes Raina has her uses. Now that she’s done her job, and gotten her gallon of blood, I try to pull her back into her box. Not quite succeeding, she looks Edward up and down and licks her lips. Edward looks at what he thinks is me.
“Anita?”
Raina smiles.
“Guess again Death. Raina has come out to play.”
