Andrew heard Amelia telepathically say that she was sorry and Good-bye. He burst through the front doors of the hotel ripping them off the frame as he rushed into the hall where Amelia was. When he saw the gun to the back of her head, everything seemed to go into slow motion. Andrew used his telekinesis to push the gun away from his mate just as he heard the weapon discharge. He watched in horror as he saw Amelia drop to the floor.
When the smell of Amelia's blood hit him, he saw red and gave himself over to his primal side. Andrew performed a flying tackle driving them both through the door of Antonio's room. The two of them crashed into the far wall as Andrew jammed claw like fingernails in to Antonio's lower back wrapped his fingers around the base of his spine snapping it off and ripped it out of his body and threw it to the floor. Antonio let lose an inhuman howl of pain. Antonio's lower half of his body was crippled and even with a vampires regenerative abilities he knew it was most likely permanent. Andrew flipped him over and unleashed blow after blow in to his face and chest each blow smashed something else. Antonio was no longer moving.
Amelia was sure she was going to die permanently this time. Here only regret is what it would do to Andrew she prayed that he would find some way to overcome her death. She heard the soft cough of the silenced gun as it discharged and wondered if she would still be able to go to heaven. She felt a burning sensation as the bullet passed through the side of her neck and the world went fuzzy as she felt her legs give out. After a few moments, the world started to refocus and she realized the wound to the side of her neck was serious but far from fatal.
It took her a few minutes for her to heal enough for her to regain her senses. She opened her eyes, looked around, and saw Andrew was in the process of beating Antonio to death. As her eyes focused more, she could see blood splattered from floor to ceiling and. Amelia knew that the humans were watching and only hoped that Charles' people would get here soon .She quickly pushed into Andrew mind. "Love we need him alive, please stop." She pleaded through their bond.
Andrew didn't even so much as acknowledge her all she could sense through their bond was all consuming rage that blinded him to everything but he need to kill. She began to worry when she could find no part of the man she knew through their bond. She rose to her feet but was unsteady as waves of Dizziness and nausea over took her. She closed her eyes until they passed then slowly approached Andrew calling to him through their bond. Amelia could sense the terrified humans and knew they didn't have long until the police showed up. Just as she got close enough to touch him, he quickly rose and spun on her. He had a wild look in his eyes and for a fleeting moment, Amelia thought he might attack her but he just stood there looking at her as if he was trying to recall who she was
"Love I need you," Amelia whispered, as she pulled Andrew into a fierce hug.
Amelia declaration had the desired effect it started his logical mind working again. He quickly wrapped his arms around her and let her scent wash over him. Slowly the closeness to his mate and her sending images of the two of them together was allowing him to reign in his feral side "My god, I thought I lost you forever. I have never felt so empty in my life." Andrew quietly confessed as tears started to flow down the side of his face.
Amelia said nothing just held on to him for dear life allowing him to regain control of himself. She would deal with the humans when it became necessary. At this moment, her only concern was for her mate and his state of mind. She could feel he was still on the razor edge of sanity and it wouldn't take much for his feral side to reassert itself and if that happened she was, afraid she would lose him forever.
Charles had been on the phone with Andrew. He had just confirmed that their target was there and gave him the room number when he heard Andrew say he has her at gunpoint and then the phone fell. He and the strike team were within ten minutes of the hotel. He and his strike team flooded into the hotel and seized control they cordoned off the area and would control the scene. He had left a couple of his people to deal with the human authorities and press. He wondered how much damage control he would have to do an experienced vampire who had a mate threatened was bad enough but parvulus could go on a rampage and kill everyone in the hotel.
When he finally entered the hallway, where Amelia and Andrew were, to say he was shock would have been an understatement. He saw a large pool of blood that had Amelia's scent staining the carpet. He looked down the hallway and saw Amelia with her arms wrapped around Andrew his eyes were still black and lifeless. Charles had the rest of his people hold back and he cautiously approached the two of them. As he got a view into the room it looked like just about every surface had blood splattered on it. He stopped before getting too close to Amelia and Andrew; he didn't want to cause Andrew to attack him. He could see what was left of Antonio he had no distinguishing facial features and the only sign that he was still alive was the soft gurgling sound he mad as he tried to breathe.
"Perhaps you should take Andrew into one of the other rooms here so he can finish calming down. Then get cleaned up and I will bring you some blood to aid with your healing," Charles suggested. He was trying to see just how bad Antonio was hurt when he noticed a four inch piece of his spine lying on the floor. He was shocked to see the amount of devastation Andrew had done to Antonio.
Amelia nodded and started to lead Andrew from the room. Charles made sure that everyone gave them a wide berth so as not to inflame and already volatile Andrew. As soon as the two of them were in the room Charles placed two of his people on the door with order to keep the two of them in there until he said it was all right to let them out. He wasn't worried about Amelia but knew if he tried to separate them right now Andrew would lose himself.
He had one of his men run out and get overalls for them and a couple of bottles of blood. He had Susan start package blood in soda style bottles one it made it easier to transport and secondly since the bottles were opaque it made it harder to see what was inside. Franklin gave Charles the items, he had requested. "Charles the human authorities have been dealt with. The guest and staff have had the memories altered. What do you want us to do with their hummer? It is on the lot with keys in the ignition," Franklin reported. Then as an afterthought he added," Antonio is alive but just barely. He will most likely be a paraplegic. Andrew smashed his skull and crushed part of his brain. According to Heidi it will be a few days until we can tell the extent of the brain damage, however she feels it will be extensive."
"I love Hummers, but it is a lousy choice for undercover work because everyone notices them. Have Louise take it to Sanguinem and park it in the underground garage. Ask Heidi to keep me posted on Antonio's condition. I'm hoping to be able to use him as a witness against Rodrigues." Charles instructed he then headed to the room that Amelia was using. He softly knocked on the door and waited.
Andrew held on to Amelia who was still shaking and not believing she was alive. When he heard, the pistol shot and saw her fall he was sure she was gone. Andrew decided he didn't want to live anymore and just gave himself over to the feral beast that now lives within him. From that moment, until he heard Amelia's plea he had no recollection of what he had done. Even now, he couldn't suppress his feral side and was not even sure if he should.
Amelia was weakened by her blood lose, but right now her only concern was Andrew .His eyes had still not changed back and he was acting like a caged tiger. He had refused to let her go, the only time he had spoken was when they were in the hall when he first found out she was still alive. He tensed and locked his eyes on the door when someone had knocked on it. Amelia could sense it was Charles on the other side of the door. "Love I am going to answer the door it is just Charles," Amelia said telepathically.
"The door is open," She called out after Andrew refused to let her go.
Charles slowly opened the door and stepped in. "I have some blood for you. How is he doing?" Charles said.
