A Vampire's Soul
Chapter 2
When Cara caught up, we began our journey to save Aya.
"You better be alright Aya." I said in my head.
As we walked, I couldn't help but notice Max was limping.
"Max, you alright?" Cara asked before I did.
"Just a minor injory from the fall I took yesturday, nothing big."
By the way he was limping, I knew I was a bigger problum then he implied it was.
"Would you like us to rest at the nearest town?" I asked quietly.
"We don't have to. I'm fine. We can stop to hunt, but that's all." Max said.
I sighed, then saw Cara looking at me.
"Are you sure you are alright Vex?" she asked.
"What? I'm fine!" I said.
"You look depressed, that's all." Cara said softly.
I could tell Cara was worried about me. I turned to her and smiled faintly.
"I'm fine as long as you're with me Cara." I said, and I was surprised. I really meant it. Cara smirked at me and hugged me.
"Thank you Vex. I love you!" She smiled.
"I love you as well Cara." I smiled hugging her back.
I heard Max wince. We looked at him. He was kneeling on the ground, and his face did'nt look well.
"Max, you okay?" I asked.
Then he threw up and fell over onto his side.
"Max!" Cara ran over to his side. "Are you sick?!"
"No..... my leg hurts....." Max sighed.
"Let's get him to the town and see what's up." I said.
We helped Max up. He was shaking.
"Now what's going on?" I thought.
----------
Aya yelped as she saw Riley throw Wesley back into his bloody cage.
Riley smirked at Aya and left the room.
"Wesley?" Aya whispered.
Wesley was lying on his side, gasping for air.
Blood was drying in his reddish-brown hair.
Aya felt tears form at the corner of her eyes.
"Wesley?" She asked louder.
"I'm alright......." He whispered.
"You are not all right Wes! You were just beaten half to death!" She cried.
He struggled to sit up and look at her. One of his hazel eyes was scratched over, with blood oozing out of it. Aya gasped.
"Your eye!"
"I know. It's useless now. Riley scratched out my pupil..." Wesley sighed with a wince of pain.
"Oh Wesley, Max isn't comeing!" Aya cried. Despite all the pain Wesley went through, he pulled himself over to the wall of his cage near Aya.
"He will come Aya. Max always comes. Don't worry. He's comeing."
Wesley reached out and put his bloody hand on Aya's cheek.
"Max, where are you?!" He thought.
----------
"His leg has a deep cut in it, I think its infected."
Cara said looking at Max's leg wound.
"Alright, that explains the limping, but he's not sick. Why'd he throw up?" I asked.
"I think the infection has spread into his bloodstream causing his sickness." Cara said. "We need to get Max into a hospital." she said.
"And tell them what?! 'Hi! This is Maximillion! A demon who is dying of an infected leg! Can you, a mere mortal, help us?!' Oh that's brilliant!!" I snapped.
Cara was taken aback by that outburst.
"We have to do something. If we don't, Max is going to die again." Cara said softly, trying not to sound upset.
My heart stopped then. If Max died again, Aya would be heartbroken.....
Aya! She's still being held prisoner, Max is the only one who knows where she is.
"I can't let Maximillion die!" I thought.
