When I made it to the hospital I was huffing and puffing. I've never ran so fast before in my entire life. My dad ran up to me and grabbed Claire from my arms while my mom grabbed the emergency phone attached to the wall and phoned for Dr. Geoff.

"He's on his way now!" My mother sighed with relief.

Within seconds, Dr. Geoff came marching down the hallway with a stretcher and a few nurses. The doctor signaled for him to put Claire on the stretcher so he did.

"I have to examine the lady. I will be back in a few minutes to tell you what's going on."

And with that I sat in the lobby and placed my face in my hands.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

My dad hugged me and started to pat me on the back, but nothing helped me. I was a wreck once again.

"I should have never taken her. I just missed her so much. I'm so sorry. This is my fault!" I sobbed.

"Damien, what matters right now is that you are trying to save her." My dad encouraged.

"But I don't even know if she loves me.

"Oh honey, give her time to think. Everything will be alright."

I heard Mitri chuckling at our mom's comment and she turned to face him.

"If you think everything will be alright you're crazy. Don't you realize that nothing will ever be okay between you and Claire? You abused her, hurt her, and now she's laying on some fucking stretcher probably dying!"

My mom furrowed her eyebrows, "Well that all depends on how Claire feels now doesn't it?"

Mitri folded his arms and gave me a menacing smirk as Dr. Geoff walked into the quiet lobby.

"Your mess so you fix this shit or I will. And God help me, if I have to." He mumbled under his breath.

+++++++++++++++

"What's wrong, Doctor?"

The doctor shook his head frantically.

" I'm glad you brought her to me or else she could've died in an hour. According to x-rays, her left lung is punctured by the two broken ribs she has. She is bleeding internally and choking on her own blood. She needs surgery now. After the surgery, we'll give her a full examination to make sure she is healthy. I am prepping the team now."

I slouched in my chair watching the doctor leave. Mitri was right. I /was/ pathetic. I caused nothing but harm to her and maybe he spoke the truth.

How could I ever be worthy for her? How could I face her when I've done so much wrong? What will she see when she looks at me? Can she ever forgive me?

Guilt was making my heart break as if it was a broken mirror. She didn't deserve this. I should've been the one dying, not her. She was an angel while I was the demon that terrorized her. She was everything that I wished I could be and now I was about to lose her due to my own stupidity.

+++++++++++++++

Hours and hours passed as my family waited apprehensively for the doctor to come back. I found myself staring out the window trying to pass the time by. I watched as the sky changed from a midnight black to a pale blue. The stars slowly left the sky and the sun had not rose yet.

The doctor had been in surgery with Claire for a long time. I couldn't wait until Dr. Geoff was finished. I needed Claire so badly. I wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her that everything was okay.

I slammed my fist on the arm of my seat and put a dent in it. This was not okay. I knew when she woke up she wouldn't want to go anywhere near me just like when I tried to put antiseptic on her cuts and she backed away. Just like when I pretended to not to notice her sitting as far away as possible from me on the ferris wheel.

"Please, don't destroy my furniture, Your Highness."

I snapped my head up and saw Dr. Geoff standing in front of me. I hopped out of my seat.

"How is she?!"

"She's fine. The surgery was a success."

Everyone felt relieved to hear that as I heard them breathe out and slouch in their chairs. Thank God!

"But...she will be in pain for while. She's sleeping now, He paused for a moment, " We did an overall checkup on her to make sure she was alright, but she has a few /issues/ that worry me."

"What do you mean issues?! What's wrong with her?!" My father asked wearily.

"Maybe...it's best if Ms. Claire tells everyone when she wakes up."

My mind began to wonder in all kinds of directions. What was wrong with my love? What could I do to help...if anything? My chain of thought broke when my dad grabbed me by the shoulders.

"You gonna stand there all day or do you want to go see her."

"Of course I want to see her!"

When we arrived to Claire's room she lay motionless as her chest slowly rose and fell. I put her teddybear next to her and placed one gentle kiss on her forehead as I watched her sleep. I sat in her room for hours until I got hungry. Shit, I had to feed. Although, I didn't want to leave her I had to so I called for Mitri since he already...ate.

"Mitri, do you mind watching Claire while mom, dad, and I go to feed? If she wakes up call me ASAP."

Sitting down he nodded and placed a book up to his nose.

*Mitri's PoV*

I nearly laughed at my brother when he asked me to watch Claire. Claire almost died today because of his actions and now he really expected me to think that he loved her?! Damien had some nerve asking me for a favor, although, I still nodded deciding to watch Claire. I wasn't doing it for him, but for her.

The worst thing that could happen to her now was to have her wake up in the hospital alone and I wasn't going to let that happen. When Damien closed the door, I waited for a moment then checked the hallway. When the coast was clear, I began to look for small empty vials.

I quickly found three empty vials in the bathroom. I unscrewed the tops keeping my eyes on the door. I quickly brought my index finger to my fangs and cut it deeply. I hissed at the slight sting as blood began to dribble down my hand. I filled each and every container then quickly put them in my pocket.

Next, I called Daniels.

"Put Mina on the phone please."

When Mina's voice came onto the speaker, I smiled. I had a surprise for Damien. One he was never going to forget.

"Mina I need you to pick up a few items."

"Like what?"

"A long sleeve shirt, long pants, sneakers, blonde hair dye, scissors, brown contacts, makeup, first aid kit, a cellphone, and a sharp stake."

"Why these items, Mitri?"

I simply shrugged even though she couldn't see me.

"I'm going to help Claire escape from Damien."
