and live hidden in society among humans you know, without killing them. It can be a long and hard process. Sometimes in rare cases someone might lose their mind and not figure any of this out and go on a rampage and have to be dealt with but I really do not see that happening to Jaci." The more he explained the more nervous I got.

"Okay, so what I can I do to help her?"

"Well Ava dear you can go be with her. Talk to her. Let her know that she is not alone. Once she is changed we will need all of our help teach her how to adapt. I even have a friend in Alabama that's a vampire and he can come up here and help as well." I could hear Jaci screaming again. She must have woken up. John gave me a slight nudge and a quick kiss.

"Go be with your friend. The guys will be back any minute and we'll discuss how to hunt for Nicholas." I smiled and started for the stairs. I would help her in any way I could.

"Oh Ava."

"Yes love?"

"I love you." My heart sank with those words.

"I love you too John." I heard a knock at the door and assumed it was the guys back to hang with John until we can all leave. I ran upstairs to be with Jaci.

Once I got up the stairs her screams were even louder and Lena was there trying to talk her down but there was no talking her down. She was screaming and thrashing around on the bed. You could tell she was in a tremendous amount of pain. Lena held one arm of Jaci's trying to stop her from coming off the bed. I walked over and held on to the other arm while trying to talk to her but it was difficult to talk through her screaming.

The chains holding her down weren't doing a lot of good. Lena and I kept talking to her and trying to reassure her that she would make it through, that everything would be okay and that we were there for her. Whether she heard us or not, I doubt we'll ever know. Michael suddenly came running up the stairs and in her room. He had something in his hand but I could not tell what it was until he got closer to her. He had a syringe!

"Michael! What are you doing?"

"This will help her. Trust me." I did. For whatever reason I felt I could trust him. Why wouldn't I? He helped me, John, and was now going to go with us to hunt down my sadistic ex. Of course I would trust him. He gave Jaci the shot in one arm while Lena and I held it still and within a few minutes Jaci went quiet. She was unconscious again.

"What the hell did you just give her?"

"I gave her something to calm her down and relieve some of the pain. It won't take it away completely but it will dull it for a little while anyway. It won't last long. Her body is constantly changing. We will need to hook her up to an IV and get blood in her tomorrow probably. Her body is going to use up every last bit of blood she has for this change and she is going to need more. Plus it will help her thirst for it when she wakes up. We will run out tomorrow and get the equipment." At least something helped calm her. I had no idea how to help her. I still had no idea how I was going to make it another day. Michael walked back down stairs as John was coming up.

"I came to check on Jaci. Is she okay?" I know I must have looked exhausted. Every cell in my body felt drained.

"She is okay for now. Thanks to Michael."

"Good I am glad. Why don't you and Lena take shifts tonight that way you both can get some rest? Maybe you can sit with Jaci for a few hours and then Lena can come relieve you. I know you both must be worn out." Lena popped up like he offered her a million dollars.

"Oh I would love that! Avalon, do you mind staying with her first?" I could not help but laugh.

"No Lena its fine. You go get some rest." John winked at me and led Lena to a spare bedroom.

I could not believe how many rooms he had in
