Chapter 12

"A'sa!" JC said softly as he crawled in the bunk with her. "I'm

sorry!" "I'm

just scared JC! I've seen Lily win a thousand times and I'm not going

to let

her take you!" A'sa said sadly as JC ran his hand down her back. His

eyes

glowing yellow from desire. He felt a sudden need to be with her. She

felt

the same need as her eye's reddened.

Justin and Joey ran to the parking lot! They saw a black car that just

struck Justin as out of the ordinary. Joey ran as fast as he could to

it. He

could hear Kahea softly crying for help in his mind. He ran to the

front of

the car. Grabbing Eddie by the neck he yanked him off od Kahea.

Throwing him

against the car he screamed at him. "Fucking asshole! Look what you did

to

her!" He looked down at K his eyes glowing. She layed lifeless on the

cement.

Joey filled with rage started to bash Eddie's head in. Justin

imediatley ran

to her side. He got up and pulled Joey off of Eddie.

JC started to kiss A'sa's neck softly as she moaned. He slid his hand

up her

shirt. She rolled over attacking his lips. "Let me make love to you!"

he

whispered. SHe pushed images of him and Lily out of her head. Jc let

her lift

herself up so he could remove her shirt. He knew that they had had sex,

but

never made love. He slid his had between her legs. She moaned as he let

two

fingers enter her. He moved on top of her and she pushed his pants down

with

her feet. He spread her legs a little as she let him enter her. He

massaged

her breasts eliciting a moan from her. He latched on to one of her

nipples.

It wasn't long before JC brought her over her edge. "Is it to soon to

say I

love you?" he questioned as he thrusted in her one last time. "I love

you!"

She smiled as he brought his lips back to hers.

"K? Baby! You have to be ok!" Joey said as he ran his hand over Kahea's

cool

forhead. She was still unconcious. "Joe! Maybe we should get her back

to JC

and A'sa! They might know what to do!" Justin said as Joey picked her

up.

A'sa was curled up in JC's arms. Nightmares plaqued her. SOme of JC and

Lily.

Most of Kahea. She was in trouble and A'sa coudln't get to her. She

woke up

in a cold sweat. JC woke up and wrapped his arms around her. "She's

hurt JC!

We did this to her!" She cried as he held her. "She asked!" JC said

trying to

quiet her.

THey were interupted by Joey bursting onto the bus carrying K. "JC!

A'SA!" he

called. A'sa slipped her shirt back on and crawled out of JC's bunk.

She

froze when she saw Kahea's lifeless body in Joey's arms.

Chapter 13

‘******

“Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck…” A’sa cried, hurrying over

to Joey and Justin. Joey set Kahea down on the couch,

her head rolling limply to the side.

“Christ. What the hell?” JC groaned, looking down at

her bruised body. “Kahea!” He called, kneeling next

to her.

“What do we do?” Joey asked worriedly as they gathered

around her. A’sa’s eyes began to glow.

“That’s it. It’s over.” She said quietly, reaching

out and stroking Kahea’s forehead.

“What is? What are you talking about?” JC thought to

A’sa.

“As long as we remain passive like this Lily will

continue to hunt us down. She wants you back JC.” A’sa

said simply. “You know she won’t rest until she gets

you.” She looked at him. “And kills me, and once she

finds out K is a daywalker too she’ll be killed. You

know that.” She said quietly. “Only you and your

friends will survive.” She sighed, looking up at the

men gathered around her.

“We’ll protect you.” Lance said quietly as Chris

nodded in agreement.

“How the hell are we supposed to know what to do

without you?” Justin asked.

“You have JC…” She trailed off looking at Joey. He

was in shock, his face pale, worried lines etched

across his forehead. “You can’t protect me. Or her.”

She said softly, looking at Kahea.

“I need her.” Joey said quietly, watching Kahea’s

lifeless body. “K…please.” He dropped down next to

her. “Come on.” He whispered, rubbing her arms gently.

A’sa thought for a minute and made a decision.

“We need to find her food. Now.” A’sa said calmly.

“Lance, Chris…get to a club or something and find her

someone to feed on then meet us back at the hotel.

Hurry.” She said, as they nodded and left. She turned

to Joey. “Get her into the bunk and keep her warm.

Keep talking to her, try to get her to wake up.” She

said. “Justin, you and JC. Keep an eye out for

anything suspicious. I have things to do.” She said,

standing up.

“Where are you going? You’re not going alone!” JC said

angrily.

“I have to see Julian. I’ll be fine. I’ll be back in a

day.” She said softly. “I can take care of myself.”

She whispered as he hugged her.

“I don’t want you to go alone.” He murmured into her

hair.

“I won’t. I’ll have you with me.” She sighed, leaning

her head against his chest. “You have to stay here

and protect them. We can’t leave all of them

vulnerable.” She answered, shaking her head.

“No. You’re not going all the way to San Francisco

alone.” JC said firmly. “I love you A’sa. You belong

with me.” He insisted. “Ask Julian to come here.” He

suggested. A’sa looked over towards Joey and Justin

who were laying Kahea in Joey’s bunk. She watched as

Joey looked at her before climbing into the bunk with

Kahea and pulling the curtain closed.

“What have we done?” She asked, looking up at JC.

‘*****

Once at the hotel, they quickly got settled in the

suite they were occupying. JC spent the first hour

arguing with Johnny about the sleeping arrangements

while A’sa and Joey got Kahea situated. Justin paged

Chris and Lance to see how things were going and made

arrangements to meet up with them and help them bring

someone back. Once things were relatively settled,

A’sa dialed Julian.

“Julian.” A’sa’s voice could barely be heard over the

phone. He took a deep breath and leaned forward.

“A’sa. What is it?” He asked calmly. Knowing without

a doubt that Lily and Eddie were involved.

“I need you to come to Los Angeles. I need your help.

Please.” She pleaded softly. JC held her in his lap

and leaned his head against her back, waiting.

“There is nothing I can do to help you A’sa.” Julian

replied sadly.

“Yes, there is. You’ll know when you get here.

Please.” She asked again, forcing strength into her

voice. Julian wasn’t sure what it was, but something

was compelling him to agree to see her.

“I’ll be there in a few hours.” He sighed.

“We’ll be waiting.” She said, relief coursing through

her as she hung up the phone. “What now?” She leaned

back against JC.

“Now we wait.” He whispered.

‘*****

Kahea fought the blackness in her mind, trying

desperately to gain control of her senses. She could

feel and hear Joey beside her and felt as though she

were a million miles away from him.

“Joey.” She could hear herself trying to say, but

nothing would come out. She cried out in her mind,

trying desperately to make a clear connection with

him.

Joey had his arms wrapped protectively around her, her

body drawn against his, his face buried in her neck,

as he tried desperately to get her to wake up. More

than that, he was trying to fight the anger, the rage

that threatened to overwhelm him at what he’d seen

Eddie doing to her.

“Joey.” He heard weakly in his mind. He forced his

anger aside and listened again. “Joey.” He heard

faintly. He raised his head and looked at her, still

passed out, pale and lifeless.

“I’m here.” He replied in his mind. “Open your eyes

K. I’m right here baby.” He thought to her, gently

pulling her body closer. “Come on.” He pleaded out

loud. “I need you.” Kahea heard him talking to her

and she tried to concentrate on opening her eyes.

“I’m trying. It hurts everywhere.” She cried out

silently as she tried to move.

“I know it does K, but please. You need to try.” He

thought, staring at her intently, holding his breath.

She moaned softly as she tried to move. “I love you.”

He thought clearly to her. In that instant she felt a

small amount of energy float through her. She fought

the pain and slowly forced her eyes open.

“I hope you mean that…” She managed to choke out

dryly. Joey thought he was going to jump for joy when

she opened her eyes. She groaned. “It hurts

everywhere.” She moaned.

“I know babe. I know. I’m so sorry.” He choked out,

trying to hug her without hurting her.

“Next time I get brave…” She whispered painfully.

“Remind me how much you love me…” She trailed off,

looking up at him.

“I will.” He replied, kissing her gently.

‘*****

“She’s awake.” Joey called, getting out of bed and

helping her up. A’sa flew out of JC’s lap.

“Kahea!” She whispered. “I’m so sorry.” She cried,

hurrying over to help her.

“What for?” Kahea croaked out, leaning on Joey for

support.

“You shouldn’t have done that! You could have been

killed! Why did you do that?!” A’sa scolded, her

voice rising. Kahea looked at her like she was crazy.

“Because you’re like a mother to me. Except that you

and JC have been kinder to me than my parents ever

were.” She said simply. A’sa choked back her tears as

JC wrapped his arm around her.

“I need a shower.” She murmured painfully, looking up

at Joey. “Help me?” She whispered. He nodded and

lifted her into his arms, carrying her into the

bathroom.

“You’ve changed.” JC whispered into A’sa’s hair. She

looked up at him.

“I know. And it’s only the beginning.” She whispered.
