She hadn't stopped to take a breath until she was well outside of the building. Her chest heaved as wild eyes looked around the space in front of her. Several people passing her gave her strange looks, muttering to themselves. Somebody even mentioned the police. Words of assistance hummed near her, but it seemed more of a floating memory. Sable took several steps towards the curb as her body went on autopilot to get her as far away from the public eye as she could. She didn't even notice that she was in the middle of the street until the blaring sound of a car's horn and screeching tires hit her. Blinking at the vehicle, she finished crossing the street, ignoring all the jumbled words around her.

None of it mattered. Nothing made sense anymore, if it even had in the first place. Her body jerked as the second round of dust ran through her system, coiling itself around the alcohol and cocaine she had ingested earlier. She shouldn't have taken that last hit so soon after the first. Never before had she been so reckless with the drug, but what it could do to her never once entered her mind. She didn't give a damn. For all she cared, the drugs could take her as she stood. She was done. The monsters had taken everything from her once more, just as she felt she was becoming more of a human than a killing machine.

What else could she do now?

Zach was a vampire. She killed vampires. While she had spared a few lycans, never before had she allowed a bloodsucker to see another night. He had offered himself to her for the kill. He knew what had to be done, and that she could accomplish it.

And yet she hesitated.

She never hesitated.

Suddenly black spots floated in her vision and she knew another blackout was on the verge of occurring. Her eyes darted around, knowing she had to get some place where she wouldn't be discovered. The last thing she needed was for this information to get back to Verren. Sable stopped as the man's face crossed her mind. He would find out about Zach. He would send others after him. She couldn't let that happen. No matter what had just transpired between the two, he was still her brother. She needed to protect him.

Which meant she had to live.

Sable stumbled over her feet, jarring herself from her thoughts. She braced a hand on a brick wall next to her as she focused on her breathing. The blackout was quickly approaching her and she would be vulnerable in a matter of minutes. Hell, she didn't even know what the drugs in her system would do once she wasn't actively fighting against them. Would her heart just refuse to continue pumping once she was out? She needed help. Desperately.

Remembering her phone, she reached down to the black duffel bag still hanging from her arm before pulling the device out. Who could she call? Who the hell would give enough of a damn to find her? To protect her, and possibly save her stupid fucking life? Sable stumbled once more as she slumped against the building nearest her. Her hands shook as she looked down at her phone. A frustrated groan escaped her when she realized she was seeing triple of everything. Never a good sign.

She took in a quick breath as her trembling fingers fumbled against the screen of her phone. Sable brought up the last text she had sent and pinged her location just as her shaking legs brought her to a dark alley. Her eyes rolled back into her head before her knees met the ground, the world immediately going black. She didn't even feel the ground after she plunged face first towards it.

She just hoped she had hit send.
