Screams erupt from the direction of the mouth of the cave, but I'm too shattered to really think what that means. She's leaving me because I tried to save her. 'Why?' I think, right before I feel a burning feeling in my chest and all of a sudden I can't breathe. I try to call out to Leila, but instead…

*Cough*

I cough up something that looks a lot like what ran down my knife when I slashed open Ken's throat. Lei turns and looks at me. I can see the shock and horror in her eyes. She opens her mouth and I think she is screaming but I can’t hear. What's wrong? I want to ask. Why are you so scared all of a sudden? You were just about to leave me. I think as my head falls back. I feel a searing pain on my neck. The last thing I see before blacking out is a grimy pale man with glowing red eyes with his fangs embedded in my neck.
