His eyes popped open, those silvery orbs filled with accusation He freed et the taste of me off his lips

I didn&039;t blame him Not after what I&039;d done

"I&039; dizzy and strange Closing my eyes made my head spin worse, so I stared at the floor Loud voices, scurrying feet, banging and cursing and scraping infiltrated my mind Somewhere in the noise, I heard Ralph&039;s voice "Damn it, Patrick What did you do to her?"

"What did I do to her ?" he yelled "She damned near killedwith her wrist? It&039;s still bleeding," Ralph asked, ignoring Patrick&039;s ire "Your saliva didn&039;t heal her Hey! Why is her sweater off? She&039;s only in her bra!"

"Who are you? Her ive you blood, Patrick?"

"Of course she did, otherwise I wouldn&039;t be talking Her blood is strange It tastes ot a helluva temper"

"We pushed her too far," said Gabriel "None of us would accept being a prisoner so easily"

Huh I hadn&039;t expected understanding froood I couldn&039;t figure out how many people were in the room I felt hands on my shoulders Ralph Suddenly, I felt better It was like energy flowed intohis shirt Wow He had nice abs Crisp brown curls feathered his chest and arrowed down to his jeans He helped me put on the shirt and then buttoned it for me

"What the hell happened in that cemetery?" Patsy&039;s blue eyes studied me and then Ralph Patrick said, "It seems Ralph was set on fire"

"So was Libby," said Ralph His eyes were onon took human form and kissed her They were both on fire, but neither one burned"

"I&039; now," I said I waved my hand in front of my face and smiled seductively "I&039;m really hot"

"Me, too," said Ralph He scooted closer to er and so was his aura It shined brilliantly

"What do you think this allon, it seems to be connected to Ralph, too" This was Gabriel&039;s observation

"We need to rouse Stan," said Patsy "C&039;et you both down to the lab"

"The lab?" I heard concern edge Ralph&039;s voice "What for?"

"Don&039;t make ry, and I&039;m hormonal"

Ralph picked me up, and I closed my eyes "Welcome to Broken Heart," said Patrick "Looks like you&039;re walking evidence of the paranorh to tell hi out, but I do re on an examination table I scra it

Ralph sat in a chair next to the table, watching ht" I walked to the door and yanked on the handle Locked I turned around and glared at hi to run soure out why you went all Firestarter out there"

"You&039;re not exactly fire-free, buddy" I rubbed my arms I was cold I didn&039;t like it I also didn&039;t like the silence There was no singing in here No war"

"They did Dragons don&039;t like the cold, and if your new self is related to what the dragon did to you"

He trailed off, avoiding ed to chill the odd attraction between us Although he was still nurateful I didn&039;t have the uncontrollable urge to jump his bones

"Just relax," said Ralph "I&039;ether"

"Oh, hell no" Once again, I turned to the door and pounded on it "Let me out! Let me out now !"

"Libby"

My naainst the white metal door "I don&039;t want to be a lab rat What&039;s this doctor&039;s name? Frankenstein?"

I hated white, sterile rooms like this one Other than the chair Ralph occupied, there was no other place to plant e

"Dr Michaels is nice, and he&039;s very smart As a bonus, he&039;s also human"

"We&039;ll see about that," I said I couldn&039;t pinpoint any particular reason why I didn&039;t like physicians or hospitals I always got the creepy-crawlies And I had theht now The door opened Ahead since he was looking at a clipboard He was short and paunchy and, overall, he rele Then he lifted his head, his s else could shock

I nearly fell off the table "Uncle Archie! I thought you were dead!"
