Christian shifted his position to keep his focus on Penny as she moved back to her body. The final vampire had detached themselves from Penny’s body, but they still lingered in the room. This one seemed different, they seemed to relish in the idea of death and dying. It was at that moment Christian was glad he could remain invisible to creatures and humans.

For the moment, Penny seemed to be unbothered by this particular vampire. Her hand rested comfortably on her dying body, a friend saying hello to a companion. A slight glow shimmered under Penny’s hand from the contact. Christian sighed. 

He stepped forward, staring at the body. [color=#B0E0E6]”If you are sure, then you can fight again. I can give you five minutes, Penny, but any more time than that will have grave consequences. As it is, the balance of bringing one back will have to be repaid elsewhere.”[/color] 

Christian rested one hand on Penny’s spirit and smiled gently at her. She was cool to the touch, void of anything living, but he could also feel her strength and her defiance. Still strong despite being separated from her body. 

[color=#B0E0E6]”Good luck.”[/color] Christian rested his other hand on Penny’s body and immediately watched her spirit re-enter her broken body. Christian waited for Penny to open her eyes before he closed his eyes and stopped time. 

Everything in the room froze; the vampire standing in the shadows remained frozen in time, but their eyes remained locked on Penny’s form, unblinking. Upstairs, the sound of talking ceased, and even the dust motes became suspended in the air. What's more, Christian was invisible to Penny once more.

[color=#B0E0E6]”Five minutes, Penny. Move.”[/color] His voice echoed in her head and around the room. Christian had already broken two rules, and he couldn’t break any more by getting her out or healing her. She had to fight and do it on her own. Still, Christian couldn’t pull himself from the room to answer the next call of death. He felt compelled to stay and watch, to make sure she made it to safety.
