On The Road
The private plane touches down at Logan International airport at sundown and Avery's eyes snap open as he comes awake. He looks about wildly for a moment, uncertain of where he is, taking stock of the people around him. He's been feeling strange since the other night.

He's on this plane for a reason, but he doesn't know why. Furthermore, his mouth is so dry that he feels like he could drink a lake.

"Water..." he manages to croak, turning to Sydney.

	Sydney smiled and handed him one of the bottles of water she carried. "You always do," she said. She offered him one of the bottles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good to know I'm not slipping up in my old age." he grins, drinking down the full bottle of water in several long pulls. Once he's done, the heat inside of his body /finally/ seems to die down and he relaxes for the first time in days. And with that, he also feels very, very tired. "Okay, I might be able to really rest now." he says, yawning a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. Now close your eyes. I'm not going anywhere." Syd sat down in the chair and took the lid off of her coffee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The scent of blood was heavy in his nose again, and Avery knows what's happening; he's smelling Sydney's blood. This can't be happening to him.

Then again, you /were/ just bitten by vampires recently, Avery. What did you /think/ would happen?

If he really was becoming...one of /them/, his life as he knew it is over. All of the movies about vampires (even that terrible one with the sparkling ones), tell of how vampires attack people they love, even if they don't mean it.

If that's what's happening to him...he has to let Sydney go and Zoey, too.

Just the thought of that hurts worse than any other pain he's ever been in. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, hoping that this will just be a bad dream that he'll wake up from and laugh about later.

Yeah, just a bad dream...

	Sydney didn't say anything. She just reached out and took Avery's hand to hold it. She gave it a reassuring squeeze. (Reply to this)(Parent)
