Holden quickly let go when Solomon's hand moved. "I'm sorry Solomon, if I would of gotten there sooner. Maybe I could of gotten you out of there faster. Even though I don't know how I did it in the first place." He said as he sat down on his butt. "Something just clicked, I don't know. I just..." He said as he grabbed his knees.

Alicia didn't wanna bug Holden but he was getting to upset. "Holden." She said as she took a step forward. "Settle down Holden, it's all ok alright?" She said as she slowly walked up behind Holden. She felt his power gathering, she didn't want him to last out. He was sitting to close to Solomon. "Shhh Holden let's get you back to your room." She said gently, as she put her hand on his shoulder.

Alicia stood Holden up. "Let him rest Holden, he needs it." She said as she turned him around. She led Holden back to his room, and gently laid him down on the bed.

"But he needs me." Holden said as Alicia picked him up. "I don't need rest." He said as he was laid down on the bed.
"Yes you do Holden, just trust me ok?" Alicia said as she sat down on the bed.
Holden nodded and looked out the window.

After a few days, Solomon was able to keep conscious for most of the day as his body began the slow and painful process of healing; bottle by bottle. At about 3am on the fourth night, his lungs began to reconstruct, causing him to cough up blood and bits of lung that were not savable. His body was mostly healed by this time, mainly his upper body, so he felt a bit better.

He noticed that at this point in time, he was alone in his room. Jack was most likely sleeping for now and Alicia was most likely getting more blood for Holden and himself. At least he knew Holden was alright. That was most important, next to the car. Even though he despised the bottled blood that he was being forced to drink, he craved it more than anything; or rather any source of blood would be fine. He wanted to just be done with this.

Holden waited until Alicia was gone for a few minutes. He got up off of the bed and went to check on Solomon. He got to the dark room, he could see Solomon laying on the bed. He quietly walked into the room, "Solomon I'm so sorry I couldn't help you more." He said as he got to the bedside. He felt Alicia coming, "Shit." He said as he went to hide in the shadows.

"They are gonna owe me big time." Alicia said as she teleported back to Solomon's house. She made her way to Solomon's room, she was carrying twelve bags of bottles of blood. She entered Solomon's room she looked to where Holden was hiding, "Damn it Holden I told you to stay in your room. What part of that didn't you understand?" She asked in a whispering tone.

"I wanted to see him." He said as he stepped out of the shadows.
"I know but your not gonna help yourself by getting upset." She said upset. She kneeled down and started to put the bottles of blood in the cooler. She sighed, "If you wanna help you can feed him." She said caving in.
Holden nodded and walked over to Alicia. He grabbed one of the bottles from the bag, he waited for Alicia to move.


"Now hold your horses." Alicia said as she finished packing the cooler. She stood up, "I'm gonna go and get some rest, don't do anything stupid." She said scolding Holden. Alicia left the room.

"I wont." He said as he looked at Solomon. He gently opened Solomon's mouth, Holden slowly poured the blood down Solomon's throat.

[Evil Tink]

"Don't be..." he whispered. He was quiet for a mnoment as Alicia began to scold Holden, "Alicia don't be mad at him. He's fine." he smiled a nit, allowing the blood to flow down his throat. His bonmes were mostly repaired by now, he was just tired and sore. The blood helped quite a bit but it still wasn't much. He gathered up all his will power lifting his arms and pulling Holden down to hug him tightly, "I'm so glad you weren't hurt Holden."

[Bovice]

"I wish I would of gotten you out of there faster." Holden said gently hugging Solomon back. "I still don't know how I got you out of there." He said smelling Solomon. "What happened? How did the garage explode?" He asked still hugging Solomon.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shook his head slightly, "Don't worry about that Holden, alright? I'm fine, and the garage and cars are replaceable. Just calm down alright?" He smiled a bit as he held Holden.

[Bovice]

"I am already getting the garage fixed, and replacing a few of the cars." Holden said with a smile. "Speaking of which I have to make a few phone calls in a few hours." He said thinking for a second. "Let me give you some more blood." Holden said not wanting to break the hug.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shook his head again, "Holden, I don't need you replacing and fixing everything that get's damaged or bloody. I can handle it." There was a bit of annoyance in his voice. "Just let me handle it alright?" He let Holden go, his arms and chest beginning to hurt. He sighed with a wince. "You just need to rest."

[Bovice]

"Solomon, I want to do this for you. Just let me please." Holden said as he sat up. "I've gotten plenty of rest, Alicia wont let me drive my new car I bought." He said slowing down his words. "Damn it!" He thought to himself. He put his head in his hand, "Sorry." Holden said still keeping his head in his hands.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon sighed again, "Dammit Holden, you don't have to hide things like that from me. I don't care. You're 21, you can make your own decisions. Alright?" With a wince, he slowly sat up, using his arms to push himself up as he worked to get out of the bed. "If you don't mind, I have to go kill Jaclynn for destroying my Jaguar."

[Bovice]

"I was gonna tell you four days ago. But then the explosion happened." He said with a sigh. "No Solomon, your not strong enough." Holden said as he put his hands on Solomon trying to keep him down. "What is so special with the Jag? If I can ask." He said trying to keep Solomon from moving.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon quickly pushed Holden's hands away as he swung his feet to the floor. He remained on the edge of the bed, using his arms to support most of his weight. "For my 550th birthday, my sister got me that car." Solomon sighed silently, "She had bought it brand new the year it was released, and saved it until then."

[Bovice]

"I see." Holden said as he looked down. He wasn't gonna be able to see his sister anymore or his dad. A sad expression came across his face. "Solomon you are not strong enough to fight anyone, but if you have to. I just say good luck." He said as he got up off of the bed and went to the doorway. He turned back, "Just stay here please." Holden said as he walked out into the hallway and headed to his room.

[Evil Tink]

"I may be angry Holden, but I'm not stupid. I'm not going to fight her this very instant. I have to get some fresh blood first." He sighed a bit as Holden left the room. He was sort of hoping Holden would help him, but he didn't really require it. He'd be able to get around.

His eyes fell upon the cooler. Bleh, cold blood. It would have to do to get his power up enough so he could teleport. The only problem was, it was a few feet away, out of his reach. Either way he forced himself to stand, shuffling over to the cooler and quickly downing a few bottles to gain a bit of strength. Even after three, he could still hardly stand. With a sigh, he hauled the cooler over to the bed, sitting down and laying back with a side. "You weren't hurt at all in the explosion..where you Holden?"

[Bovice]

"Other than me draining my power to get you out of the fire, no I didn't." Holden said as he laid down on his bed. He grabbed his phone and saw that there was one missed call and a voice mail. He listened to the voice mail, his mouth gasped open. He got up off of the bed and slowly walked back to Solomon's room. He made it to Solomon's doorway, "I... I have to go to the states, my dad had a heart attack. He's ah not gonna make it." Holden said holding back tears.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon bolted upright with a shout of pain, "Alright..come on.." He groaned a bit as he stood. a bit more strength in his step as he made his way to Holden, "I'm sorry about your father, Holden. Come on, I can have us.." He winced, taking a hard step, "there by midnight." With it only being about 4:30, they should make it to Connecticut by 11 or so.
