Gabe rushed into the basement of his house, holding Jessalyn in his arms. “Just a little longer baby. Hold on. I’ll make this better.” He walked behind the staircase and with a wave of his hand, he opened a trap door that opened into a large cavern. He laid her on the silk coverlet on the large four-poster bed and then turned to a cabinet on the far wall. He pulled out some candles that he had made himself, that were imbued with healing essences. He spread the candles around the room and lit them. In the flickering light Jessalyn looked even paler than usual and the spot where Guillermo had bit her was festering an ugly black color, the vampire’s toxins eating away at her flesh. Gabe grimaced when he set his mind to what he had to do, suck all the toxins out of her blood before they did too much damage while making sure that she didn’t lost too much blood. The not losing too much blood part would be a challenge too. Her smell had intoxicated him for the months that they had been working together and he really had to work hard to keep his vow to never drink from another human.
Jessalyn moaned in agony and started thrashing on the sheet and Gabe knew that he couldn’t wait any longer, the toxins from Guillermo’s saliva were eating away at her organs and he said a quick prayer of thanks that the scumbag hadn’t had time to force her to drink his blood and start a transformation. Gabe laid down on the bed next to Jessalyn and took her into her arms. He kissed her forehead gently before reassuring her. “Shhhh, everything will be okay soon. I’m going to make the hurt go away baby.”
He lowered his head to the burning hole in her neck and started sucking the blood out from her neck and then spitting it to the floor because the toxins would drive him mad if he ingested them. Even with the toxins infecting Jessalyn’s blood, he was hit hard by the flavor that she had. Jessalyn was so full of life and she tasted sweet and innocent. Gabe closed his eyes and focused on the task, he could think about seducing Jessalyn and convincing her to remain his after he saved her life. First things first. Gabe kept drinking and removing the toxins. It was a long hard job, and he was sweating blood from the effort. Eventually though, he managed to remove all of the toxins from her blood, but she was very pale. Gabe looked at the cooler sitting next to the bed that he knew was stocked with bags of blood but cold blood was not what Jess needed this minute. He sighed. This part was going to be even harder, Jess was going to have to drink right from him.
Gabe used his sharp finger nail to slice open his chest and he cradled Jess in his lap. He bit back a groan, she felt like she belonged there. He pressed her mouth to the bleeding wound and entered her mind, Drink Jess, you need this in order to live. She started drinking and Gabe felt like he’d been hit by a semi-truck with her cute mouth suckling at his chest. It was heaven and hell at the same time. In an instant it changed from heaven and hell to just hell because Jess woke up and started screaming.

Blood Borne Part III
Gabe swore and dropped the basket of blood that he was holding. He’d thought that Jessalyn was psychic, she always seemed to know when things were about to go to hell, but he hadn’t had those thoughts confirmed until he heard her scream in his mind. He needed to get out of there and check to see if she was all right. There had been some weird energy in the air earlier that had set him on edge and now there was this. He knelt to pick up the units of blood and saw Tina, who was working in hematology, staring strangely at him. “Is everything all right Gabe,” she tilted her head and asked him as her sharp green eyes analyzed him.
“Yeah, I just came off the adrenaline rush from that trauma earlier. Jess worked her butt off before I got here and we really weren’t sure that the guy would make it through OR.”
Tina shook her head, setting her ponytail shaking. “Oh Gabe, Jessalynn would hurt you so bad if I told her that you were calling her Jess behind her back.” Gabe smirked as he walked over to the fridge to put away the blood that he’d just checked in. He had of think of a way to get out of here and get to Jess. Suddenly an idea hit him. He doubled over in pain and let out a groan. Tina rushed over to his side and helped him to a sitting position on the floor. Gabe managed a pitiful groan. “Are you sure that you’re all right Gabe?” Tina’s eyes were full of concern.
“Actually, it appears that the sushi that I had before coming in tonight was no good. I think that I need to get home and be near the bathroom all night.”
“You do look a little pale. Go, and I’ll cover for you tonight. Things are uneventful enough. The shooting victim is in recovery and there's plenty of blood set up for him.”
“You’re a doll Tina. I’ll make this up to you when I can.” Gabe shifted to a half-standing pose and stumbled out of the lab. When he was out of sight of everyone, he took off with supernatural speed for the roof, to be able to scan better for that malignant energy that he felt earlier. He had a bad feeling that Jess was in grave danger.
When Gabe got to the roof he ran to the side facing the parking lot. He reached out with his senses and felt a blank spot. Looking down at where he felt the blank spot he just saw a fuzzy blur. He inhaled slowly and smelled a familiar stench. “Guillermo. How many times must I kick his ass before he learns?” Gabe glanced around to make sure that no one was looking, made himself appear as a haze just in case and leaped off the roof in the direction of the blur. He landed on Guillermo’s back and wrenched his head to the side. “Let her go, now!”
Guilllermo dropped Jessalynn as he snarled and elbowed Gabe in the stomach. Gabe grunted but kept his grip on Guillermo’s head, he twisted and Guillermo’s neck snapped. Gabe stepped back, kicking Guillermo in the back and knocking him to the ground. Gabe knelt down on Guillermo’s back, but Guillermo bucked and sent Gabe flying. “Breaking my neck won’t kill me Gabe, you know that. And now you won’t get close enough to kill me. The human is dead anyways.”
Gabe hesitated; Jessalyn was still bleeding from where Guillermo’s fangs had nicked her artery when Gabe had grabbed him. She couldn’t survive much longer at the rate she was bleeding, and no ER doctor would be able to save her. The scent of her blood was intoxicating to him and overpowering his willpower. Without a second thought, he scooped her up, took two running steps and leaped into flight. He had to get Jessalyn home to save her. “Don’t die on me Jess. Please don’t die.”

Blood Borne Part I
Jessalyn Stewart tossed her gloves in the garbage and wiped the sweat from her eye and leaned back in her chair. As much as she love her job working in a busy bloodbank, she got so sick of putting the gangbangers back together again when it seemed like all they wanted to do was kill each other. She smiled at the night shift tech who was seated across from her. Gabriel, call me Gabe, Rodin had been working in the bloodbank for as long as Jessalyn could remember, and it intrigued her as to why he preferred to stay on nights. “That was a close one Gabe. It amazes me how much younger these victims are getting. It’s like these gangs have no respect for life.”
“They don’t Jess. To them its all a pissing contest about dominance.” Gabe let his dark gaze wander over Jessalynn’s petite body and his smile widened over her mop of curly hair. She was so young, so innocent. “The way of life on the streets is often kill or be killed, almost like the lions from the African plains.”
She leaned forward with her elbows on the bench. “I understand that but it doesn’t make sense. These kids have to learn that pissing on everything around you doesn’t make you the king. What they need is to go through Doc Marten’s Real Deal program and check out the morgue and see one of their friends laying on a slab with a toe tag. Maybe that will scare them straight.” She looked up at the clock. “Twenty-three hundred, I’m out of here Gabe. There’s a fresh shipment of blood on the way since this guy drank almost all of my A pos. Have a good night.”
“Have a good one Jessalynn and be careful out there, we haven’t gotten the retaliation shooting yet.” He bit his lip trying not to smile over her quirky remark about the gangbanger drinking all her blood, if only she knew.
“Careful is my middle name Gabe.” She stood and washed her hands then hung up her lab coat. “I’ll see you on Monday.”
