Matt's POV

I was holding Rebecca's lifeless body in my arms. I had her head elevated, her head in the crook of my right elbow and my left hand holding the side of her face so that it didn't go to the side. I started wondering where my father was and prayed that he got here soon. I really need him. He knows what to do with all of this and knows what's wrong with her. I scanned her face and felt a few tears escape my eyes and fall down my face. Now I'm not one to usually cry, but when it comes to Rebecca I'm gonna cry. "How far away is he?" I asked for the third time.

"He's pulling into parking lot now." Jimmy said. He was on the phone with my dad. "He said that he's on the stairs and is walking up now." I nodded, but never took my eyes off of Rebecca. I just couldn't. I now that this sounds silly. But I was afraid that if I looked away from her, she would disappear for forever. I faintly heard the elderly woman, Madea, talking in the other room.

"Who are these strange men in my house? There are too many people here in my house. I want you all out. You leave that poor child alone now. You hear me? Alone."

"Where is he?" I heard my father ask.

"DAD!" I shouted. I heard the scuttling of feet and then glanced up for a brief second and saw my father standing there with Jason and Matt Berry behind him. Jason and Matt were all five of the family's squires. Squires just means that they do what we can't and get what we need them too. It makes it really helpful on tour. I looked back down at Rebecca and kissed her forehead. My father came over and tried to take Rebecca from me. I growled at him.

"Matthew, let her go. I need to take a look at her." I growled once again, but let her go. My father took her and laid her completely flat on the bed. I sat next to Rebecca and grabbed her hand. I held it close and kissed her palm. "I need everyone, except for Matt, to leave this room. Now." My dad barked out. No one left. He looked around, rolled his eyes and chuckled a little. "Everyone, God. She'll be fine. I promise." Everyone looked around and then nodded, leaving the room. Gena, who was holding Xavier, was the last one to leave. Xavier was crying his eyes out. It broke my heart to hear him cry like that. He needed his mother. I need his mother right now too. I got up and walked over to Gena. I put my hand on her shoulder and pulled her to a stop. I took Xavier out of her hands and held him close to me. I kissed the top of his head and he quieted down, but was still crying a little.

"Shhh little baby boy. It's gonna be okay. Momma is gonna be okay. I'm gonna make sure that she is. I promise." I hugged him close and kissed his cheek.

"Matthew, I'm gonna need you to go down to where you bit her." I gave Xavier back to Gena and cupped the back of his head in my hand. He was so small compared to my hand. I looked into his hazel eyes that were like mine. I couldn't look away from him.

"You do not let him out of your sight. Do you understand me?" I snarled at Gena.

"Yes Matt. I understand." I still didn't let go of Xavier's head. He stared back at me and had tears streaming down his face. A few more tears fell down mine at that sight. I saw something with the corner of my eye and I looked up. I saw Zacky standing there.

"Matthew, I need you. Your mate needs you right now." My father said. I nodded and stared at Zacky.

"If anyone comes near you that isn't one of the guys or girls or one of the Berry brothers, kill them. And you better keep Carlos away from my son. Tell the guys the same thing." I said to Zacky. He nodded and I let go of Xavier's head. He started screaming loudly again as Zacky wrapped an arm around Gena's shoulders and led her away. I leaned forward, gripped the door frame and leaned out to watch Gena and Zacky's retreating figures. It took all of my strength to not run after them and take my son into my arms as well as my wife. But I did and I walked back into the room and to my dad. I walked back over to Rebecca and moved down to where I bit her, but I grabbed her hand again and didn't let go of it.

"Okay. Now what?" I asked.

"Now I want you to start licking her blood." He felt her neck and felt her pulse.

"You want me to what?!" I asked and pulled back. He didn't even spare me a glance.

"You heard me. Tap into your wolf side a little and start licking her blood. Your saliva will seal the wounds and stop the blood from flowing out. Trust me, son. I did this to your mother. Twice. Now do it." I nodded and did what my father said. I closed my eyes and tapped into my wolf side a little. The scent of her blood was filling my nostrils and filling my mind. It swelled inside, burning me to my core. I growled low in my throat. My father looked at me and said, "Matthew, stay in control." I shook my head a little to clear some of the blood lust.

"Alright." I started licking her wounds and licking the blood up. I licked nice and slow and held her hips down. I couldn't stop and I started going faster.

"Matthew, stop. You keep licking and then you'll want her blood more. Pull away and take some deep breaths." I did what my father told me to do. It was hard, but I did it. I stood up and walked toward the door. I paced around the room a little and scrubbed my hands down my face. I rubbed my neck and took some deep breaths.

"That's good. Maybe you should leave-"

"No!" I cut my dad off and glared at him. "I'm not leaving her." I walked back over to Rebecca. I past the dress that I had taken off of her and picked it up. I came over to her and covered her up as best I could. I didn't want my dad to see her like this or remember her like this if it's the last time that she's-

[i]Stop thinking about that. Think about happy things now.[/i]

You're right.

"Alright. I hope this works." I looked over at my dad.

"What did you do?" He wiped his brow and sighed.

"While you were ordering Gena and Zacky, I gave her a shot." I turned on him ready to yell at him, but he cut me off. "Before you yell at me, she's gonna be fine. I shot her up with some werewolf medicine that made her numb to the pain, but she'll heal quicker than just you licking her wounds."

"Dad, she's not a werewolf." I said and looked down at her.

"I know. Your mother told me."

"Okay. I hope this works too." I kissed her hand and kneeled down by her head. I started to sing to her.

[i]Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man.
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you.

Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head.
While I may be hard to find
Heard there's peace just on the other side.

[The Rev]
Not that I could
Nor that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin,
Let it burn.

Left this life to set me free
Took a piece of you inside of me.
Now this hurt can finally fade
Promise me you'll never be afraid.

[The Rev]
Not the I could
Nor that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

I hope it's worth it, here on the highway, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight

I hope it's worth it, what's left behind me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight[/i]

I sang The Rev parts and kissed the side of her face. I knew she liked that song because on time, I went through her IPod and saw the song on there. Plus she told me once how much she liked it. I bent my head down...and started to pray.
