While Warren ate, Kai picked at what was left on the cart. Even though she hadn't eaten for a couple days, she wasn't hungry, though she figured she should eat anyway. It wasn't any surprise after all that had happened.<br/><br/>As she pulled apart a piece of bread, Kai got lost in her thoughts. Ever since they met, they'd been running from someone. Men trying to kill them, Warren's previous mate wanting him dead, a vampire trying to take Warren because the bitch was killed, and now him being dissected for whatever reason. Kai was starting to think she was bad luck for him. What good had she really done him? She'd gotten him shot at, shot, he almost broke his back because of her. But then she remembered what not only Brandt had told him, but Karren too. Her being there had brought him out of his shell, pulled him away from the dark place he'd been for so long. While she hadn't made him whole, she was picking up the pieces as best she could. So maybe she wasn't such a jinx after all.<br/><br/>His voice pulled her back to reality.<br/><br/>Glancing at him and the empty plate, she forced a small smile. Taking it, she set it on the tray just as he said he wasn't feeling well.<br/><br/>"What's the matter?" she asked. Kai reached out, intent on feeling his forehead to see if he was running a fever. But she didn't have the chance.<br/><br/>Suddenly he was on the floor and Kai was hit by a wave of pain, his pain. She knew it wasn't the level of pain he was feeling, but enough to make her eyes water. Dropping to her knees, Kai gently shook Warren's shoulder.<br/><br/>Karren?! Karren, I need you! It's Warren!
