Watching Red's final stumble, Deri ran forward to catch him just in time before he hit the floor.  "Oh, Red..."  His entire shoulder and back were scratched so badly that the blood didn't stop trickling down to the dirty floor beneath him.  With no struggle, Deri lifted Red off the ground and ran back to their previous camp.<br/><br/>After setting Red down in the tiny corner that she had previously slept during that day, the vampire rushed to clean up the animal carcass and tried to find as many dead plants as she could to start a fire for him.  It seemed to take almost an hour before she could get up enough dried brush, but she eventually did it and struck the fire hot for him.<br/><br/>"Red," she began, kneeling at his side, "are you okay?"  The bleeding stopped but he still seemed really pale and his heart beat at a slow rate.
