Some City.

Jude could hear another voice in his head but he couldn't make out anything anyone was saying anymore. Then all of a sudden her wrist was back against his mouth and her blood was flowing past his lips onto his tongue. The dark red liquid was bitter and he was reminded of iron.

Casey's voice filled his mind again telling him to drink promising him he would keep his humanity, he felt he could trust her and so he swallowed the terrible blood and immediately he could feel a change. His muscles grew taut as strength flowed back into him. He drank a few moments more before finally he pushed the wrist away and coughed up a little blood. He pushed himself up to a sitting position and groaned at all the aches and pains.

His body was battered and there was blood all over him, Jude found himself desperately wishing for a shower. He turned to look at Casey and saw another woman there and he frowned. "Who are you?" He asked rather rudely. Jude was past the point of pleasantries and all he wanted was to know he was safe.

The blind woman seemed to regard him curiously and then she spoke in a soft melodious voice that calmed him a little. She told him he would be fine and he believed her. She got up and said that he needed rest, but that there was a bathroom past the door over in the corner. She then left Jude alone with Casey.
"Hey..." His voice was gruff "Thanks." He reached over and brushed a bloodied hand down her cheek and gave her a soft smile "YOu saved my ass again." He mumbled. "How can I replay you?"
