Everlasting Love(Pt20)
Rachel quickly studied each person in the room, stopping on Joe. “As I said before, recovery could take years and will truly test your love and loyalty for Richard. You especially Joe.”
Joe started to protest and Rachel covered his lips with her fingers. “And Nick…” she glanced at him. “The two of you will be the most important people during that time. You have to come together and get over the animosity for each other. Everyone else needs to stand behind them.”
Several heads nodded in unison to her statement. “I’m sure your all wondering what to expect when he does wake up. Richard will be very weak in the beginning, everything will have to be done for him. Once he starts getting better, he’ll be able to function on his own, to a degree, until he is fully recovered. Any questions so far?” Rachel gave them a few minutes to think of any then continued. “Now I know your all still asking ‘What is the cure?’ The only thing so far that we have found....let me also point out, that it is not 100%, fail safe cure, it doesn’t work on every vampire, but we will try it on Richard.”
”So what is it?” Nick broke in.
“Pure, innocence blood.” Rachel told them.
”I don’t understand.” Joe frowned looking at Rachel.
“That of a child, an unborn baby, all of it and not just from one.”
“Oh shit.” Phil hissed quietly.
Joe started at her in disbelief, unable to move or breath. Nick darted his eyes to where Sav lay, he ran his hand over his face, taking a deep breath.
“That’s against The Code Rachel.” He said softly.
“To bring a young child across is against The Code.” Rachel told him.
“But these are innocent babies you’re talking about, not to mention the mother and their families.” Beth put in.
“Can we use women who are pregnant, that are strung out on drugs or something?” Amber asked.
“Yes, the drugs that humans take don’t affect us, but in this case it’s best to find one that is only taking over the counter stuff.”
“And if we don’t do it this way?” Joe asked softly, now staring at Sav.
“The poison that is still in his body will slowly kill him, as it’s doing now.”
Joe closed his eyes, tears spilling down his cheeks. Nick reeled from the shattering pain he felt through their bond, as did Phil.
“Where would these pregnant women come from?” Amber asked, trying to ignore the pain from her father.
“Several places around the world. Most come from broken homes, abusive relationship, or have nowhere else to go. The ones that choose to go back into that relationship and put themselves and that child in danger, are usually chosen or we look into the women that want to give up their child for adoption.”
”Why is that?” Kyle asked, who had been quite the entire time and carefully watching Joe.
“If they don’t care enough about themselves, then they don’t care about the child they are carrying. These women would rather put themselves back into an abusive relationship, then be alone.”
“How do you do it?” Kyle started. “I mean, how do you get the blood? Take a little from each baby?”
”No, the child would not survive.” Rachel’s soft voice informed them.
Another moment of stunned silence held the room, while everyone contemplated what to say.
“How soon can you start?” Amber was the one to finally break the silence.
Beth gasped in shock. “I can’t believe you would want to do this.”
“I don’t want Sav to die either Beth.”
“Of course not Amber, it will save you the guilt of causing him to be this way in the first place.” Joe glared at his daughter.
“How can you blame me Dad? You are the one that told him to fuck off when Rick told you about us. You didn’t want anything to do with him after that.”
”Don’t you turn this back on me Amber.” Joe stood, yelling as he approached her. “ You should have never came in here to begin with.”
“Somebody had to since you weren’t going to it. You forgave me, why not him?”
“It was different, you’re my daughter.”
“No, the difference is, you didn’t want Rick to be happy.”
”That’s bullshit and you know it.” Joe hissed.
“You didn’t want him to be happy, keep him for yourself. The same thing Nick has been doing for years.”
Joe’s hand connected with Amber’s cheek. “You don’t know what your talking about.” He growled inches from her face. Joe was suddenly yanked away from her by Nick and dragged across the room, placing a firm hand on his chest to keep him against the wall.
“Then why did he tell me that is what you were doing?”
“Your just jealousy because he chose me over you.” Joe shot back.
“Did he? He fooled you again Daddy…” Amber replied coldly. “…we were seeing each other behind your back. That is until Nick ste…”
“Enough!” Nick yelled at both of them. “We are not here to hash this shit out again, but to see to Sav’s welfare.”
The tension in the room had shot up a few notches after the shouting match between Joe and Amber. Everyone thought they had settled their differences, but this argument said otherwise.
Amber was rubbing her cheek from the sting of Joe’s hand. “When can we start Rachel.” She asked again.
”As soon as possible, it’s to late tonight, the sun will be up soon, so tomorrow night. But you all must agree to this type of treatment.”
“You said yourself if he doesn’t get it, then he will slowly die.” Phil said.
“Yes, but that too could take at least another six months to a year.” Rachel turned to look at Joe. “Its more of your decision than anybodies Joe.”
“Why me?”
“Your closer to him than any one else.” Rachel told him.
“I-I can’t make that decision. Why not Kyle, he’s Sav’s son o-or Nick, he’s the cold heartless bastard, not me.” Joe squeezed past Nick and went out the door to the balcony.
Amber walked quickly across the floor intent on following him.
Nick grabbed her arm to stop her. “Let him go.”
“But he…” Amber looked up at Nick, concern for her father in her voice.
”Give him some time alone.”
Rachel stood. “So, what’s the decision?” she glanced back and forth between Kyle and Nick.
Nick didn’t give him a chance to reply. “Do it.” He made to leave the room.
“Don’t I get a say in this too?” Phil said watching him leave.
“No!” Nick yelled over his shoulder.
“Gee thanks.” Phil mumbled. “He is a cold heartless bastard.” He too left the room.
Beth turned to her husband. “Kyle, I can’t and will not stay here for this. It’s against the law what these people are going to do.”
“I’m aware of that Beth, but….he’s my father.”
“So you’re going to sit back and let them murder children?” Beth took his hand in hers. “Kyle you’ve spent your whole life prosecuting murderer’s.”
“I know that.” Kyle hissed. “I accepted Rick as my father and he kills to survive, not very much, but he does or did. I’m not ready to lose him, just when we found each other. I’ll stand by whatever decision they make and if they need my answer in this, it will be yes.”
Beth released his hand and slumped back in her seat. “I’m sorry Kyle, but I can’t be a part of this.” she rose and smoothed her skirt. “I’ll be leaving on the next flight home.”
“Beth come on, you can’t leave. I need you here with me.”
“I can’t.” Beth whispered. “I’ll call you when I get home.” She left the room, leaving Kyle alone with Sav.
