June 22nd, 1999 2:21 a.m. Orlando, Florida - Nick's apartment

"NICK!" She screamed pushing him as hard as she could. "I thought this was what you wanted," he said with a sly grin. His body missed her sweet blood and wanted so much more of it. He chased her as she locked herself in the bathroom, crying and bleeding, hoping he wouldn't kill her. "Nick was has come into you?" She cried. She looked in the mirror at her two puncture holes. "Come on Kat, you know you want it as much as I do!" He said pounding on the door. She took the bathroom towel and pressed it onto her neck, sitting down on the tiled floor praying for her life. "You wanted this!" He yelled. Fang started scratching at the bathroom door barking as Kathryn covered her ears in pain, hoping all of it would stop soon. "Stop please," she whispered over and over. She looked at her watch to see she had almost 4 hours until sunrise. She laid down on the tile and closed her eyes. "I need more!" Nick screamed as he banged harder on the door. "MORE!" "Fuck you!" Kathryn screamed in pain. "I think you already did that Kat baby, didn't you?" Nick said laughing. "Don't you want to be together forever? Come out and we can Kathryn!" He said, trying to convince her to come out.

After an hour of Nick and Fang's pounding, the noise stopped and Kathryn was slowly losing consciousness. "Kathryn?" Nick said sadly as she opened her eyes. "Go away," she cried. "I'm…I'm sorry," he said as she wiped her eyes. "Leave me alone," she said getting up. She looked into the mirror and removed the towel from her neck, the puncture wounds large and swollen. Her eyes dark red and hurt. "I don't know what came over me, I…please open the door," Nick begged as she shook her head. "No, I don't trust you." "I'm still sorry, how can I prove to you I'm okay?" "Tomorrow," she said damping the towel and pushing it onto her neck. "O…Okay," Nick said sadly. "I love you Kathryn," he said as tears streamed down her face. She didn't know what she should do any longer. She loved him, but locking herself in a bathroom from a psycho with fangs and Fang was too much. She had to get out of there, somehow…

Sunrise finally came and Kathryn heard the noise of Nick in his sleep. She opened the bathroom door and walked out. 'No sign of Fang,' she thought to herself. She tiptoed to the door and creaked it open, hoping the retriever wouldn't attack her. As she started shutting the door the dog came full force, causing her to slam the door behind her and run down the stairs as fast as she could. She was free…she could go away! As she walked to a payphone the light from the sun hurt her eyes immensely, almost scarring her. "Hello? Kathryn? Hello?" Valerie asked. "It's me Val," Kathryn said quietly as Valerie cried. "I've missed you," she said sadly. "Me too, can you come pick me up? I'm kind of stranded," Kathryn asked hoping she could. "Of course! Where are you?" "Um…the 24 hour Orlando gas station?" Kathryn asked. It was the only 24-hour gas station in Orlando. "I'm on my way, are you okay?" "I'm…fine," Kathryn said putting the phone back on the hook. She sat down on the sidewalk and waited for Valerie, hoping the sun wouldn't kill her first. "So you mean to tell me your lover, Nick, is a vampire and tried to kill you last night?" Valerie asked. "Um…yeah," Kathryn laughed. It sounded pretty stupid, but it was the truth. "Here," Valerie said bandaging Kathryn's neck. "I believe you, I mean why in the hell would you lie about it?" Valerie said as they laughed. "I'm really tired," Kathryn said as Valerie nodded. "I'll talk to you more later," she said shutting Kathryn's door. Kathryn had never been this tired in her life, especially not in the daytime like that. She closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep, hoping and praying everything would turn back to normal.
