She woke up again.
Someone was putting something in her mouth.
“Starr?” asked a familiar voice.
She opened her eyes and saw Chanler, sitting next to her with a bowl in his hand.
Amazingly enough, her throat hurt much less.
“Did you get them?” she whispered.
“Lucenzo and Lily? No, but we will.”
He spooned a bit of blood. Starr was surprised to learn that she could open her own mouth again.
“The kids?”
“They’re fine; everyone is fine. We got here as soon as we heard you’d been beheaded.”
He set the spoon back in the bowl, and said, “I must admit that I was really worried about you.”
He pressed her hand to his mouth. If only she could have fully felt her limbs, she would have, surely, enjoyed feeling his lips.
“Vampires?”
“Let’s not talk about it, just now. You need to rest. Besides, you’ve got some visitors.”
Then someone else entered the room. The person carried towels, which she set on the desk near the door.
It took a moment for her to recognize her mother’s face.
“What…?” Starr asked. “No, no, go, go,” was all she could get out.
But she simply stared at her.
“Starr,” she said. “Where’s Meghan?”
“Go, go, GOOO!!!” she shouted.
And then she blacked out again.
