Eric walked into the hospital carrying the wounded woman. This was going to be a true test of his ability. not only was she hit in the heart, but she had a hole in her shoulder and a few small scratches here and there. He was gonna try his hardest anyway, because she showed him that there was no true evil except the king himself.
He set her down on the bed, then retrieved some bandages and medicine. He returned to the bedside and nudged her a bit. "I hope you have a great healing system, because i cant dig the arrowhead out." he said, when she regained a little consciousness. He started covering the wound over her heart, and gave her a bit of water. "Why did you change your mind?" he asked, out of nowhere. "You could have killed me."

Rayne looked up at him, not letting the pain that she was suffering show that much. "Then let me..." she muttered before reaching in through the wound with her finger tips, gritting her teeth in pain. After a moment she pulled out the arrowhead between her fingers, covered in blood. "It was something I had to do in the army..."
Then she fell quiet again, her head rolling to the side as she passed out. She had never felt so weak before... she had only felt strength. But the strangest sensation was the now beating heart that she now possed. She had always had a heart, but it had never worked before.
Why now? Why did it start beating now of all times.... just when she had thought that her loyalty to the Tyrant King was at it's strongest.

Eric cursed when she pulled the arrowhead out. He cursed again when she fainted. He didnt know what to do. He suddenly had an idea, but it was crazy. Never in his travels has he heard of a human and vampire sharing blood, but he didnt have a vampire donor nearby. He bit the bullet and grabbed some rubber((im sure the had it)) tubing and the knife he carried. He notched his vien and hers, then stuck the tube into thier arms. He felt the blood flow from him into her. After about five minutes, he had given as much blood as he could. He patched up the rest of her wounds and left her alone for a bbit to sleep.
After about 6 hours ((wow that was fast)) he returned with something to eat and drink. He set it down next to her bed and sat there, waiting for her to wake up. He was suprised, but happy, to find a pulse, which meant she would recover fine.

Rayne woke up with a start, cough as her lungs refused to take in air. After a moment her coughing subsided and she lay still.... awake and recovering from pain. "You wanted to know why I changed my mind?"

Eric jerked up when she woke. "Hold on, Drink something first." he said as he held out the glass of water. "And yes, i would. Its not everyday you see your life before your eyes before you almost die." he said, smiling a bit.

Rayne was too weak to refuse... so she simply obeyed. Water hit her stomach like a kick in the gut, but she couldn't deny that she was thirsty. But her thirst couldn't be quenched by water... it never could be. Instead Rayne hid that fact and drunk the water obediantly. Afterwards she handed the glass back.
She fell silently as she searched for an answer. "Because even a killer can have a change of heart..."

Armond came up to the window and saw she was being helped. "Maybe the knight was changing sides. Or Rayne got soft like he had... D felt bad being a Killer but he had to follow his family line, but what Armond said to him still stuck in his mind. D lightly tapped on the window so only a half vampire could hear it.

Rayne heard something faintly and turned towards the sound. It had to be him.... D. Rayne got up off the bed and left the room, walking outside towards the sound. She had to use the walls to keep herself upright.
She stopped when she saw him, collapsing against the wall. "D..." she said quietly. "What are you doing here?"

Rayne nodded, sliding down the wall to sit on the ground. "Do you know who shot me?" she asked weakly, avoiding eye contact. She couldn't let him see that she had turned soft.... the was no room in the army for softness.
There was nothing that she could do about him hearing the sound of the newly beating heart. Something that a dhampir rarely possessed. The sign of life...

"Peregrine Alexander" Eric said, after he followed her. He was startled to see a newcomer, but this was a house of healing, and he couldnt do anything. "Who is your friend. And why didnt the reality of war sink in before i talked to you?" he asked, leaning against a nearby doorframe.

Rayne scrambled to her feet and stood between the men, almost as if she was guarding one from the other. But which one was she guarding?
"Sometimes one only needs a nudge in the right direction..." she comment looking at Eric. Bright red eyes locked onto his... as if digging into his soul. "And he is no one of consequence..."
Rayne's eyes flashed over to D. I cant come back...

Eric listened to her. When she looked at him, he stared back at her just as hard. Those eyes seemed to hypnotise him. He shook his head. "Maybe you shouldnt spend so much time on your feet. Your weak." he said slowly, trying not to piss her off.

Rayne shook her head. "I'll live, I promise you", she assured him with a small smirk.... or was that a smile.
Rayne was fighting a loosing battle with her mind. Part of her was telling her to go back to the army, her alligence being to the king, but another part was telling her differently. She hated reasoning... with a vengence.... but why was she using it now? She didn't know.

"Oh i know youll make it. Yout a tough girl. You maybe me waste an entire quiver, and i only hit you once, and that was when you werent looking. And sorry, by the way." He frowned, realizing he had shot a potential new knight.
