Dark Nights
                Eve followed Adam down the stairs as he carried the flashlight in the darkness. Coming to the door at the end of the basement hallway, he handed her the light and took out a key. He unlocked the large heavy padlock and unchained the door before opening it. Taking back the flashlight, he stepped inside and turned on the light.
                It revealed a young woman laid out on the bed, completely motionless, and completely drained of all color. There were numerous double puncture wounds all over her form. Eve gasped in horror stepping into the room walking over to her. She pulled the sheet back seeing that the wounds were all over her body. “Good Lord.” She crawled up onto the bed next to her touching her face. “Adam, what happened?”
                “I didn’t do this.” He said walking closer to the bed. “I’m certain it was some fucking kids. Entertaining themselves, not knowing what the hell they were doing.”
                She looked up at him, “Did you know her, darling?”
                Adam’s eyes remained on the young woman who was little more than a corpse. “My supplier. A very clever, and industrious supplier. She never disappointed me, no matter what my request.”
                Eve looked back at the girl and gently swiped her hair back from her face tucking it behind her ear. “Wouldn’t it be kinder to let her go?”
                “How? She’s stuck somewhere between.” He said walking closer shaking his head, “I found her by accident. Whenever I called her, she called back within moments. She didn’t this time. She was four days late with a delivery. She was never late.” He sat down on the bed next to Eve. “She was dumped in an open parking lot. Thrown out of a car like garbage. Had I not come across her, the sun would have come up a few hours later. As if they hadn’t done enough.”
                She looked at the young woman’s arms turning one over and then the other. The wounds were bloodless, torn and bitten flesh. She was used like a chew toy long after the blood had dried up. It was obvious that the only reason she still existed was that they had fed her from their own veins. Leaving her somewhere between death and life. “She’s beautiful.” Eve said softly, “How could anyone do this to her.” Adam was silent reaching over and taking the girls hand finding it even colder than his own.
                “I can’t get her to drink. Her body is so damaged. Her body won’t heal, and she’ll never wake if she can’t feed.” Adam said. “I couldn’t leave her in the sun, I couldn’t put wood through her heart, I couldn’t bring myself to end what little is left of her.”
                “Did she know what you were?” Eve asked.
                “Of course she did. Otherwise I imagine her bringing blood to the house would have been strange and out of the question.” He sighed, “She was the only zombie who ever knew. What’s more, she genuinely didn’t care.”
                Eve looked at the young woman a moment longer before moving closer to Adam wrapping her arms around him, “It will take a great deal of blood, my darling. If they didn’t give her enough of their own, we’ll have to quicken her ourselves.”
                “I have it.” He replied. “She kept me very well supplied. Blood only has a shelf life of 54 days.”
                “54 days? How do you get it to keep for so long?” She questioned curiously.
                Adam stood and offered her his hand. She stood and they left the bedroom to the door across the hallway. He unlocked the door and they went inside. Walking over to a dirty canvas sheet, he pulled it off revealing a large stainless steel medical freezer. He punched in a code and locks snapped. Opening the lid a thick fog rolled out. Reaching inside, he pulled up a tray that held 10 pint bags of blood. Eve’s eyes went wide, “This is fantastic Adam. Where ever did you get it?” Adam’s eyes turned away as he remained quiet and she understood. “She got it for you.”
                “It’s on a separate built in generator that kicks on in the event of power loss. So even without an outside power source, it will continue to run.” He explained putting the tray back down into the chest before closing the lid, pressing the lock button. “One of the very few exceptions to my modern technology objections.”
                Even was quiet a moment before she looked at Adam. He was incredibly depressed, more brooding and morose than usual. Every once in a while he would suffer such attacks. Perhaps this was what he needed. A project, something to occupy his time instead of sitting among his knobs and wires dwelling on what made him most unhappy about the world. What’s more, she could see that the young woman meant something to him. Friends weren’t exactly something that their kind often had. Certainly not human friends.
                “Alright love.” She said wrapping her arms around his and resting her chin to his shoulder, “We’re going to need some things.”
Infusions
                Eve sat beside the young woman, placing several pieces of tape on the edge of the table. Adam prepared the blood bag before sitting down on the other side of the bed. “Hold her head back and her mouth open for me with her tongue out of the way, darling.” She greased the long tube as he watched her arching a brow. “There’s no moisture left in her body. Her throat is going to be exceedingly dry.” She explained. “No matter what she’s going to be in a great deal of pain having been in this state for days.” Eve held up the tube and Adam reached up opening the woman’s mouth tipping her head back so as to straighten her neck.
                Carefully, Eve fed the tube down her throat and into her stomach. She took the tape and fastened the tube in place against her cheek. She gave a nod and Adam opened the blood flow from the bag. “How long do you think it will take?”
                “She’s been like this for some time. The damage is extensive, my love. The wounds need to begin to heal so that we can see how they progress to know if she needs our blood too.” Reaching over she placed her hand on his. “I’ve never done this before. I’ve never seen someone so injured like this. I can’t promise anything.”
                Adam nodded and took her hand in his kissing it, “Thank you, my love.”
                Eve looked back at their patient. “What’s her name?”
                “Dani. Short for Danielle.” He answered.
                “Is she your only supplier?”
                He sighed having already considered the problem. “At the moment. She had set up a network. To collect what I needed without drawing attention to herself. She did her rounds at night after the blood banks closed so I imagine I can pick up at least two deliveries before questions start being asked.”
                “A net work? And it was all good stuff?” Eve was properly impressed. “Clever girl. How ever did you find her?”
                “Quite unintentionally.” He said.
                Eve brought her legs up beneath her turning towards him, “Tell me about her?” She asked.
                Adam paused another moment. “She was working as a student phlebotomist, fresh out of college. I was looking for another supply source and we crossed paths. A student, living on her own, no family to speak of. She needed money to survive, and she had what I needed to survive.” He smirked slightly, “The first pint she gave me was her own.”
                “Really?” Eve said in surprise.
                “It didn’t take her long to figure out how to get the blood from the banks. She managed to arrange collecting the daily supplies twice a week at the various bank branches to deliver it to the storage facility. By that point it’s all been filtered, tested, and prepared for blood transfusions..” He looked at Eve, “The fridge came a while later. They were replacing it with another since they didn’t want to bother repairing it. Dani got a hold of it, brought it to me. Between the two of us, we fixed it as good as new. So I would have room to store what she brought me.” Adam saw some improvement in Dani’s skin already. He reached up and opened each of her eyes, “Look.”
                Eve saw color starting to return, and reached over pulling the sheet back that covered the young woman’s body. “Some of the worst ones are showing signs of healing.” She pointed them out. Adam carefully turned Dani’s head seeing the wound below her hairline starting to fade.
                “It’s working.” He looked at Eve, “We need to decide now if we’re to quicken her. Before she wakes.”
                “Are you certain that this is what you want, my love?” Eve questioned. “We don’t know how much she’ll remember about her attack. If she was awake and conscious for all of it . . . will it be a memory she wants to live with for the rest of her existence?”
                Adam stayed silent a moment looking at the woman again, “Can’t just let her go like this Eve. Not this way.” She nodded and turned picking up a knife passing it to him, then picking up a glass and holding it up. Adam took the knife and looked at it a moment before he sliced the palm of his hand deep, holding it over the glass. Then he passed the knife back and Eve followed suit doing the same.
A New Life
                It took several days of treatment before Dani’s body was healed and they could take the feeding tube out. When she finally woke, Eve was sitting beside her on the bed watching over her. She smiled seeing Dani’s eyes open, “You’ve returned to us. At last.”
                “What?” Dani looked at her a moment, “Who are you?” She looked around, “Where am I?”
                “You’ve been very ill, Dani.” Eve began. “We haven’t met before, but I’m Adam’s wife. Eve.”
                Dani arched a brow, “Adam and Eve? Seriously?”
                Eve smiled, “Yes, I suppose it is a bit obvious isn’t it.”
                “What time is it?” Dani asked stretching a little.
                “It’s nearly 8am. Tuesday morning.”
                Dani’s eyes went wide as she immediately sat up, “Oh, God. I’m going to be late for work.” She threw the covers back and stood. Eve immediately got up holding her hands out to stop her.
                “No. No, you can’t go to work.” She said quickly. “You need to stay here with us.”
                “I can’t, if I lose my job I won’t be able to help you guys anymore.” She looked down at herself before looking around, “Where’s my clothes?”
                “Dani, calm down and listen to me. Please. You can’t go out this morning. You’ve been extremely sick. Adam and I have been caring for you . . . but there is something you need to know.” Eve began.
Shock
                Eve sat on the couch waiting for Adam to return. At last she heard the front door open then close. Adam came up the stairs carrying a case and set it down when he saw Eve.
                “Dani’s awake.” She said standing.
                “Really?” He said, “That’s good.” Eve was quiet and looked down. “Isn’t it?”
                “I had to lock her in her room. And I couldn’t get her to eat.” She said.
                Adam sighed and covered his face with his hand. “I suppose then that she didn’t take the news well.”
                “She doesn’t remember anything about the attack. The last thing she remembers is getting out of her car at home. If what she told me is accurate about the time frame, they tortured her for quite a while before you found her.” She explained.
                “If she can’t remember the attack she can’t tell us who did this. Which means they are still running about the city somewhere. Fantastic.” He threw down his keys.
                “You have to talk to her Adam. If she doesn’t eat she’ll be right back to where she was before.” Eve cautioned.
                “I know.” He sat down and closed his eyes. Eve may have been right about letting her go. “It’s been ages since either of us turned anyone, much less our doing it together.”
                Eve moved over and sat on Adam’s lap, “She was already half turned. We just brought her through the rest of the way. The older the vampire, the stronger the blood. We’ve given her a good start. She’s practically our daughter now. Feeding from both of us.” She brushed his hair back from his eyes as he wrapped his arms tight around her. They kissed before looking into each other’s eyes, “Talk to her Adam.”
Careful Approaches
                Adam unlocked the bedroom door and slowly slipped inside closing it behind. He was carrying a carafe of blood with him and set it down on the table. He didn’t see her, she wasn’t on the bed. He walked around cautiously and found her on the floor, sitting in the corner, her knees pulled up tight against her chest, her face buried in her arms. He walked closer and kneeled down beside her, “Dani.” He said simply. She didn’t respond and stayed still. Reaching over he turned on the lamp and it caused her to recoil tighter around herself. “Dani.”
                She remained quiet for another long moment before she whispered, “It hurts.” She said in a raspy voice, her throat extremely dry.
                “I know. It takes time to adjust. If you feed, it will be better.” He said keeping his eyes on her. After a moment she slowly lifted her head from her arms leaning back against the wall, her eyes remaining closed. She was so much paler then she had been in life, and had lost some weight from the incident. Weight that she would never regain now.
                “Why did you do this to me?” She asked softly, “I never asked questions, never told anyone, I kept your secrets, did whatever you wanted me to do. Why would you do this to me?”
                Adam considered for a moment what to tell her before deciding to answer, “We didn’t. Someone else did. We simply nursed you back to health. The way they left you, was far worse than simple death. Even worse then this.” Another moment of silence passed before Dani’s eyes slowly opened. It was startling. Adam had expected her eyes to be like his and Eve’s. Instead the irises were a deep purple color. He’d never seen anything like it in all his years. She closed her eyes again still sensitive to the light. Adam reached over and turned the lamp back off.
                “What am I supposed to do now?”
                “You need to begin by feeding.” He repeated from before.
                “Adam. I’m a phlebotomist. You can’t ask me to drink blood that is completely disgusting.” She said covering her face with her hand.
                “No. You were a phlebotomist. You are something quite different now.” He stood walking over and picking up the carafe and brought it back. He kneeled down beside her again and poured a small glass before holding it up to her. “My best stuff. AB-. You never could get your hands on a pint or two every now and again.”
                “It’s the rarest blood type. You have no idea how hard it is to find donors.” She said softly.
                “Fair enough.” He held the glass up to her. “So don’t waste it. It will get easier after your first drink. You’ll crave it. Like we do.”
                Dani opened her eyes again and looked at him, “I can’t. I just . . . I can’t.”
                Adam starred at her a moment, “Don’t make me do this. It’s better if you take it yourself.”
                “Do what?” She asked.
                Adam just looked at her and within a fraction of a heartbeat, he snatched her by the back of the neck, forcing her head back and pouring the blood into her mouth. Dropping the glass he held her mouth closed until she swallowed so she wouldn’t spit it out. Dani coughed and struggled as she could taste and feel the blood traveling down her throat. Satisfied that she had taken it all, he released her.
                There was a look of absolute horror on her face as she clawed at her throat. She got to her feet and started to lean forward, “No, don’t do that.” Adam instantly wrapped his arm around her forcing her to stand up straight, reaching up wrapping his hand around her jaw forcing her head back against his shoulder so she couldn’t make herself vomit. “You have to stop fighting and accept it.”
                She hit his arm and kicked her feet but he just held her still. After a moment her struggles slowed and then stopped. Finally she was feeling the effects of the blood and he could feel her body relax. He turned and put her down on the bed, taking her feet and putting them up as well. Picking up the carafe, he walked to the door and looked at her again before he turned off the light and closed the door locking it again.
