CH2- A Night to Be Deadly

Chapter 2-

I woke with a start in a room of gray. My shoulder throbbed. I sat up slowly clutching my shoulder. An arm sling lay on a chair next to the bed I was on. I reached for and winced as the movement hurt my shoulder. Then a pale hand grabbed the sling and helped me put it on. Jeff smiled down at me and pecked a kiss on top of my head. “Awake, now, are we?” he teased.
“Where are we?” I asked.
“Safe.” Was all he said. That didn’t make me feel safe at all. I was somewhere Chris did not know where I was and it was probably way after sunrise. That wasn’t good.
“I need to get back home. Before my brother worries about me.” I said, but sadly was ignored as Jeff fed me soup. It was actually good and tasted home-made. It was strange thinking that vampires could cook, but I could see why.
Just before Jeff and I left to go the festival, I had met his sister, Meredith. She was a perfect angel. I loved her to death. She, like me, also had a dark secret in the hiding. She was human and living with her brother. He knew and protected her from the rest of the non-human existence. It was a dangerous world out there when you are human, but few of us have learned to live in the shadows and survive, but only a few. Meeting another human out in the real world was rare these days, even if it’s been sixty years after the Flash.
