Chapter 135

Shoving my hand into the gaping wound from my knife, I cringe as I touch something soft and slimy yet pieces of something hard mix with it. And then I yank, pulling out her insides, not even sure if I grabbed her whole heart. I’ve never done this before. I hope to never do this again.
Cooper drops Killer’s body to the ground and kicks her away, sending her toward the wall. Without hesitating, he rushes me and lifts me into his arms. The world blurs as he relocates me, leaving behind the mess of my fight with one of the headlining vampires. My mind can’t even orient itself as Cooper shuts the door to another hotel room and strides across to the bathroom. He sets me down on the sink and turns on the hot water to the shower as if he can’t stand the thought of Killer’s blood all over me.
I remain frozen, wringing my hands together. I can’t think of anything to say. I’m not even sure if my mouth will work if I wanted it to.
