Everlasting Love(Pt16)
He ran through the dark…lost, looking for what…he didn’t know. Stumbling toward a small patch of light that never seemed to get closer. His voice echoed eerily, darker shadows wiped by, trying to draw him in their direction. Another voice, calling out to him to come toward the light. Every direction he turned the shadows, the light and the many voice where there, confusing him on which way to go. His head throbbed, stomach churned with hunger. He screamed at everything to stop…silence, stillness, only the light shone in the distance.
“Joseph.” The feminine voice whispered his name. “Come to me.”
Joe spun around in all directions. “Where, I…I can find you.”
“I’m here.”
He felt the cool hand caress his cheek, his breath quickened. The light slowly reviled her face. The gentle smile, the sparkling green eyes full of love for him. Joe was transfixed by her beauty, the love and calmness, which washed over him.
“Rebecca.” He choked on her name.
“My love.” She reached up with the other hand.
Joe willed his limbs to move and took her hands in his, pressing his lips into her palms. “I must be dreaming. Are you really here?”
“I’m always in your dreams. I’m never far away from you, but you must wake now.”
“No, I…I want to stay here, with you.”
“You must, Richard needs you more than ever.” Rebecca saw the sadness cloud his eyes. “Remember what I tell you Joe. Richard is not dead.”
”But he… he…I can’t feel him anymore.”
“No my love, he is here.” Rebecca ran her fingers through his hair, while she held the other over his heart. “Your love for him and his for you, will bring him back. But you must give him time. The road to Richard’s recovery will be long and hard. Be there for him, and our daughter, love and protect them always and forever.”
“How do you know this?”
Rebecca smiled warmly. “Go to him.” She leaned forward and softly kissed him.
Just from that light touch, he wanted and needed more from her. Joe deepened the kiss, the past they shared, swirled in his mind…then she was gone.
Joe’s eyes flew open, he stared at the ceiling bathed in a soft light. He reached up and touched his lips, they tingled and he remembered her kiss, it felt so real to him. Rebecca was so close, he touched her, but it was only a dream.
He closed his eyes again, wishing for sleep, so he could return to her. Only to open them again, when her words echoed in his mind. ‘Richard is not dead.’ Joe spread his arms across the bed and came in contact with him. Turning his head, Joe came face to face with Sav. He rolled to his side and moved closer. Running his fingers over his cool lips, and then leaned forward to place a gentle kiss there.
“I’m here for you Rick, we’ll get through this together, like we always do.”
Phil came into the room where Nick was. “Joe’s awake.”
“I’m aware of that Philip.”
“You don’t have to get snotty, just thought I would let you know.”
Nick looked up at him then stood. “My apologize, I didn’t mean to snap. We’ll take some extra bottles, he’s hungry.”
Phil couldn’t help but smile. “Yes I know. I sometimes forget about the bond you have with Joe.”
“Perhaps one day you and I will have one.” Nick told him grabbing several bottles.
“Um…maybe.” Phil took a few also and they went upstairs.
Joe was pulling on a shirt when they came in. Phil approached him with the first bottle. Joe knocked it aside and his eyes glowing golden he pulled the smaller man to his chest.
Phil titled his head, inviting Joe to take from him. Joe dipped his head down and gently sank his fangs in Phil’s throat. He tasted the strength and love in Phil’s blood. Joe took what he needed to soothe the hunger. Pulling away, he licked the holes free of blood until they scabbed over.
“Thank you.” Joe whispered.
“Hi Joe.” He smiled at his long time friend and ‘father’. Embracing him tight in his arms, Phil held him until Joe had his emotions under control.
“Here...sit down.” Phil instructed.
Joe went around the side of the bed and sat beside Sav. He brushed the hair from his face, getting a better look at him. Sav’s eyes were dark rimmed and his cheeks slightly sunken. Joe leaned forward and kissed him. “He’s going to be alright.”
“We’re doing everything we can.” Nick said coming out of the shadows.
Joe looked up at him, then back at Sav. “H..how long.”
“Two weeks.” Phil answered.
“Two weeks?” Joe echoed.
“Yes.” Nick said. “You were very distraught when I arrived, unresponsive to all of us. Drug induced sleep kept you from falling deeper into depression.”
“How do you feel?” Phil asked squeezing his shoulder.
“Tired…lost, confused. What happened to Sav? Why is he like this? I..I can’t feel him.” Joe looked to Nick for answers.
Nick came closer to him and held out his hand. Joe stared at it a moment before slipping his in Nick’s.
Nick pulled him to the small group of chairs on the other side of the room, making sure that Joe had a clear view of Sav on the bed. Phil pushed a chair closer to him and sat down.
“Can you tell me what you remember?” Nick asked.
“Um…” Joe frowned and searched his mind. “Evelyn and I went to dinner, I asked her to marry me…then Sav he uh…he stormed into my head.” he flinched from the memory, remembering the pain he felt.
“I felt it at home, woke me up.” Phil told him.
Joe looked at Nick.
“I too felt him.”
“He brought Amber across, her blood made him sick…Why?”
Nick took a deep breath. “Amber is or was sick, she had AIDS.”
”What?” Joe exclaimed in disbelieve.
“I take it you didn’t know?” Phil spoke up.
“No…no I didn’t. I could tell something was wrong, b..but not that.”
“Sav was poisoned by her blood.”
”That’s not possible Nick. We end mortal lives all the time that are dying of some disease.”
“But not with AIDS. It’s a different smell, one that will keep a vampire from taking their blood. In the whole time that Amber was here. Did you at any time want to take hers?”
Joe thought long and hard. “No, because I didn’t like the way her blood smelled. I asked her, but she never would tell me what was wrong. But why would Sav bring her across, surely he could tell?”
”At the time no, Sav was not himself, out of his mind over you. He had no control over his actions.” Phil started and moved a bit closer to Joe. “Amber came in here that night, tried to reason with him, tell him that everything was going to be alright between the two of you. Sav didn’t believe her, told her to get out. She refused, Sav lost it and attacked her.”
“What do you mean attacked her?”
”He raped her Joe.” Phil replied softly.
Joe stared at them dumbfounded. “No…no I don’t believe you. Sav would never do that.”
”No he wouldn’t, we all know that. But he did, Amber told us what happened…all of it, up until she blacked out.”
”But why…why would he…?” Joe’s face paled. “I did that to him, drove him to lose it, he…he locked himself in his room. I…I blocked him for months.” Joe’s voice broke. “It’s my fault for what I put him through, put Amber through.”
“You can’t blame yourself.” Nick told him.
“I don’t blame you Daddy.” Amber’s soft voice floated to him.
Joe turned tear filled eyes toward her. Amber came over and knelt on the floor at his feet. She took his hands and held them tightly.
“You cannot blame yourself Daddy or Sav. I went into his room to try and help him, although I didn’t except him to attack me. Maybe I should have, but it doesn’t matter now. I’m fine, and will not blame what happened to me on either of you. Right now we need to concentrate on getting Sav better and back with us where he belongs.”
Joe studied his daughters face. The last time he saw her was weeks ago, she was no longer the 49 year old woman, but the young beautiful woman at the age of 27 that he remembered. Her skin was flawless, dark brown hair that glistened in the soft light of the room.
“I’m so sorry baby, this shouldn’t ha…”
Amber placed her hand on his cheek. “Shhh daddy, its alright.”
Joe pulled her into his arms, buried his face in her neck. Amber held her father while he cried, stroking his hair, talking softly to him.
Nick rose and motioned for Phil to leave them for a while. They closed the door on their way out to give them some privacy.
