Chapter 31

• I asked Kendrick to throw away the bloodied clothing and leave us alone until Erick’s parents got here. Laying Erick down on the pillows, I pulled the covers over him and held my bloodied wrist in front of his mouth. When he wouldn’t bite down, I threatened to use Kendrick’s dagger on my hand again to get him to drink. This time, I didn’t feel any pain besides the sensation of his fangs piercing my skin. Erick could only drink three to four gulps before he fell asleep, pushing my hand away after healing it.
• After making sure he was okay, I took a quick shower in the en-suite bathroom to wash away the blood and changed into Erick’s shorts and a huge white t-shirt. He was awake when I came out of the shower.
