Member-only story
Ana made it two paces into the apartment and stumbled. She caught herself on the arm of the sofa, looking like she might pass out.
“You’re kidding me,” I groaned.
“Help me to the bed,” Ana got out between weak breaths.
“No fucking way.”
“Emma!” the vampire snapped. “I just saved your life. You could not have beaten all of them.”
I grit my teeth. She was probably right. I looped her arm around my neck and helped her up. She wasn’t faking. Her knees were so wobbly the best she could do was shuffle along against my weight.
“What would you have done if I let them pass?” I asked.
“Probably died.”
“We still have to get out of here.”
“I know. I just need a minute. I could use some…”
“Yeah, I figured,” I said as she lost the breath to finish that sentence.
I helped her onto the soil-covered mattress.
