Bleed me dry

Chapter 8~I don't want your pity

"Kit get out of bed" Daniel moaned.

"No" I grumbled cuddling into Callums shirt more.

"Kit it has been 3 days since he left, you haven't washed or eaten" he said concerned.

"I don't care" I wallowed.

"OK fine but do you remember what you said to me" he snapped.

"Yep" I shrugged "I take it back"

"Thats it" before I knew it I was being lifted out of bed and into the halls.

"Put me down you big idiot"  I hissed keeping hold of the pendant round my neck.

After a minute we stopped and we were in Callums lounge. He called out "Mary bring in choclate chip pancakes and two blood bags"

Daniel turned to me "You look like a complete and utter mess"

I gritted my teeth "Wow thanks Daniel" I knew I probably looked awful but I didn't need a reminder "Such an ass" I muttered to myself.

Mary came in leaving a tray on the table "Thank you" I mumbled.

Daniel stared at me intensely "How are you feeling"

"Like my heart has been ripped out of my chest" I sighed.

"I understand" he laughed awkwardly.

I suddenly felt awful, Dee was dead, and as much as it hurt me that Callum and I were broken up with no sight of us getting back together anytime soon at least I knew he was still well and breathing.

"Sorry Daniel, I'm being selfish" I mumbled.

He shook his head "No I know your hurting I heard some of the stuff that was said" he shrugged.

My eyebrows creased "Were you eavesdropping?" 

"Yep sorry I was curious"

"It doesn't matter" I started to eat my pancakes then drank the blood which Mary had poured into a cup its deliciously metallic taste made me shiver as it dripped down my throat.

"Kit did you mean what you said" Daniel whispered.

I sighed looking at him his eyes looked so sad and tired. I would be lying if I said I hadn't said that I would go back to the otherworld in the heat of the moment, but could I really back out? Daniel was broken, the witches had shown me what a mess Dee was and she didn't deserve that..but the thing that was holding me back, was I strong enough?

"Kit, did you mean it?" Daniel asked again.

"Yes, I meant it" I smiled reassuringly.

"Your not playing with me" he asked cautiously

"No Daniel I would mess about this" I licked at my lips "I just need a little time"

"Why haven't you gone before just do that again" he shrugged.

"Well no the first time Imelda summoned me there and the other time I died and then Imelda sent me back here, this time I need to get there on my own" I stared him in the eye "You know your not coming right?"

He laughed "Don't be stupid of course I'm coming"

"Daniel I wouldn't even know how to get you there, you'll just be a distraction" I told him sternly.

He narrowed his eyes at me "Kit I need to go with you, for a number of reasons..Your my best friend so I can't let you go alone, If you get hurt I would feel bad for hurting Callums mate he is still my friend..kind of, also I know witches want to kick your ass so you WILL need my help up there, plus I want to look like a hero in front of Dee" he smiled.
