Bonnie was still wide awake when she heard someone banging on the door. “Jeremy” she growled as if he was the last person she wanted to see right now. The scene earlier that day made her realize he would come inside anyway and she may as well save him the trouble of breaking in. “What are you doing here?” she asked short. She didn’t see her boyfriend was scared to death or that he was soaked and if she did, she definitely didn’t care. “I know you said you were going to fix this, but can you please hurry up a bit” Jeremy said agitated. He showed the holes in his arms. “They attacked me. Anna, Vicky and I don’t know who else, but there were more of them” Bonnie raised an eyebrow. “More vampires?” she asked. “More death people” Jeremy said. Why didn’t Bonnie invite him in? Why did she act so uncaring? “I can heal that for you” Bonnie said nodding at his arms. She dragged him inside the house, her grip so tight it actually hurt him. She dragged him into the living room, where he freed himself. “What’s wrong with you?” he shouted at her. “Why are you sitting in the dark, why are you wearing so many clothes, and why are you covering your ears right now?”
Bonnie grabbed a tube of ointment from a cupboard in the kitchen. She handed it to Jeremy. “Here, it’s a compilation of herbs, it should work within an hour” she said. “Can you now please get lost?” Jeremy shook his head and grabbed Bonnie by her upper arms. He gasped and let go of her a second later. “Bonnie, you’re freezing. What’s going on?” he asked deeply concerned. Bonnie looked him in the eyes and hers looked as cold as her body felt. “Look, Jeremy, the light’s off because it’s hurting my eyes, I’m wearing so many clothes because I’m freezing. And I’m covering my ears because I’m having a terrible headache and I just can’t take your lousy crap right now. So, I repeat, can you get lost?” “Let me help you” Jeremy begged. “You can’t help me. I can only help myself” she said and she grabbed Jeremy again, dragging him to the hallway, throwing him out of the house. She walked back into the living room and took five candles. She put them in a circle around her and started mumbling a weird Latin-like language.
