Seduced By The Night, 13


You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time

~Breaking Benjamin~

His body jerked as he heard a hushed voice say, “Orlando?”

He looked down at Ava. Her eyes were open and focused. She was still alive. Elijah hadn’t taken all of her blood.

Orlando stared at Ava for a second, before ripping off his shirt and wrapping it around her neck to staunch the blood flow. He jumped to his feet lifting Ava with him and raced for the galleries rear exit. Orlando spoke gently as he placed her in her car. “I’ve got you, baby. I’ve got you.”

Orlando raced around to the driver side of the car and thanked unknown gods when he found the extra key hidden in the tire well. He hopped into the car, jammed the key in to the ignition, and floored the gas.

With a loud screech, the tires left rubber patches in the street as Orlando sped through the streets of Los Angeles. All Orlando heard was Ava’s soft plea, “Save me.”

~*~

Dom spun around when he heard the front door slam open and crash into the opposite wall. His eyes opened wide as Orlando ran into the house, a body clutched in his arms. They were both covered in blood. He pushed past Dom to lay Ava on the couch. Billy ran into the living room, and stopped in his tracks, mouth open as he took in the view.

Orlando knelt by a dark haired woman, he was bare-chested, his shirt, Billy and Dom assumed wrapped around the woman’s throat. Very little of the white shirt remained pristine as blood seeped through the makeshift bandage.

“Fuck”, Dom said finally. “What happened?”

“Elijah”, Orlando responded, his eyes still on Ava. “He tried to kill Ava.”

The two men crowded around the kneeling Orlando, as Billy spoke, “Is she…?”

“Not yet, but soon I think.” Orlando mumbled in a monotone voice. He grabbed his hair, pulling at it as he looked to Dom and Billy with frantic eyes. “What am I going to do?”, he screamed.

“You know what to do, Orlando. You have to save her.”, Dom quietly answered.

“I can’t do that…I promised.” Orlando’s gaze switched back to Ava as he heard the air rattling in her chest.

“She is going to die. It’s the only way, Orlando.”

Tears ran down his face, as Orlando clutched Ava’s hand to his chest, mumbling to her “It’s ok, Ava. I’m here.”

Dom motioned to Billy for him to fetch what Orlando would need if he made the decision to save Ava. Billy hurried from the room.

Orlando could hear Dom’s steady voice behind him, “She wanted this, Orlando. Ava asked you to do this. She wants to be with you.”

Billy pressed the knife into Dom’s open hand. Orlando’s body shook with the strain of making this choice, he lay his head on Ava’s chest.

He heard Dom again. “Do it, Orlando. Now. Before it’s too late. Before you lose her.” And he held the knife out to Orlando.

With a shaky hand, Orlando took the knife and held it to his neck. He turned to Ava’s pale, still body and cut into his artery as he whispered, “Forgive me.”

Blood pumped from the vessel, spilling down Orlando’s chest as he lifted Ava’s head and held her open mouth to the wound. Tears rolled down his face as he whispered the same words Viggo had said to him: “Take from me this immortal blood. Free yourself from your earthly bonds.”

Orlando smiled as he felt Ava’s lips move against his neck. She was drinking from him. He tilted his face to her neck, and pierced her skin with his sharp teeth, completing the circle. He drank slowly; knowing that if he more than Ava was drinking from him, it would kill her. Her body arched against his, wracked by the pain of her mortal life draining away. Orlando knew the ache would pass quickly as his blood flowed through her, but still, he held her tighter, caressing her back trying to ease her discomfort. Her muscles contracted violently, but Ava’s lips did not leave his neck. Orlando felt their blood mixing, flowing between them. Ava slowly relaxed in his arms. There was a chance.

~*~

Dominic knocked softly at Orlando’s bedroom door before he entered. Orlando sat on the bed next to Ava, clutching her small hand in his. She was alive, but her survival was still in doubt.

“We need to talk.”, Dom said quietly.

Orlando nodded, kissed Ava’s forehead and followed Dom to the living room.

Billy was sitting in the living room. “How is she?”, Billy asked as the pair sat down.

Orlando ran his hands through his hair, messing it even more and said, “She’s breathing, and the wound on her neck has stopped bleeding. I think it’s beginning to heal. Other than that I can’t tell. I may not have been in time.”

“You don’t know that.” Billy murmured and then asked, “How are you, Orlando?”

Orlando fingered the small mark on his neck; it had already almost completely healed. “I’m fine.”

“Where is Elijah?”, Dom asked. Billy gave him a shocked look at his insensitivity. And Dom added ,“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to sound so business like, but we have to make some plans.”

“He’s dead. I killed him.”, Orlando said a soft satisfaction in his voice.

“I figured.”, Dom said.

“I had no choice, Dom!” Orlando yelled as he jumped to his feet and started pacing the room. “He was fucking insane!”

“I know. I know you wouldn’t have done it if there had been any other way.” Dom sighed.

After a moment Don said, “We have to get out of LA.”

Orlando finally stopped pacing and sat down again. “I’m not leaving Ava. You two go to Europe. Go to Viggo’s. I’ll follow you as soon as I can, if I can.”

“We’ll stay with you and Ava for as long as we can.”, Billy said.

Dom gave his lover an exasperated look. “Bill! We can’t stay. We…”

But Billy cut him off, “Dominic! We will stay as long as we can.” He enunciated every word clearly.

Dom’s mouth clamped shut; he knew from Billy’s tone that there would be no further discussion on the matter.

Billy stood and headed for the kitchen. “I’m going to make us some tea.” He patted Dom’s head lovingly as he walked to the kitchen.

Despite all that was happening, Orlando couldn’t suppress a snort of laughter. “I guess we know who wears the pants in your family.”

Dom shot him a sarcastic grin, “In more ways than you will ever know my friend. I’m going to track down Viggo. Find out where he is in Europe. Start tying up the bank accounts, the leases on the house and cars. And make some tentative flight reservations.”

Guilt washed over Orlando as he listed to Dom list his chores, “I’m sorry Dom.”

“For what?”

“For causing all this. If I had been stronger…”

“Stop it, Orlando. I don’t blame you and neither does Bill. You fell in love. You couldn’t resist that anymore than I could when I met Billy.”


~*~

Orlando returned to his bedroom and Ava. The sight of her broken body tore at him. She looked so helpless, so small in the large bed. Her face was drawn and pale; the only color in her face was the dark circles under her eyes.

Orlando slipped under the covers and pressed his body against hers, gently wrapping his arms around her. Even in the warm bed, she was cold. Orlando placed his hand over her heart and was reassured that beat felt stronger than before. He kissed her forehead and whispered “Come back to me, Ava. Please come back to me. Look for me…I’m here my beauty.”
