I recalled the first time I had spent time with Gavin. It was right after Claudia took him from the farm and I helped stopped her from making a slave out of him. Claudia attacked him and left some pretty nasty gashes on his upper torso with her claws. I pleaded for Derek to give me a vial of his blood, so we could use it to heal Gavin's wounds.
"You want me to drink his blood?" Gavin spat out, staring at the vial in disdain. "Are you insane?"
"It will help you heal…" I said meekly, unsettled by the anger blazing in his eyes. I wondered to myself why I was feeling guilty. It wasn't my fault Claudia caught him and clawed her nails through him. Heck…he should be thankful that I intervened.
"Yeah? Well, duh…of course it will help me heal. Doesn't mean I want vampire blood running through my veins…" He stared at me disgustedly. "Have you been drinking his blood?"
I shuffled my feet uncomfortably. "Several times…"
