Ankh-Re had just enough energy to drive us back into town (I do not drive). The townsfolk did not seem surprised to see us covered in gore; it was obvious that they were used to seeing people - deputies at least - returning from the forest looking the way we did. Rather, they seemed surprised on seeing the 'outsiders' return, seemingly alive and well.
When Ankh-Re and I arrived at the motel, I checked us in, and immediately helped him into the shower. He babbled incoherently on what a sweet divine woman I was. I had to agree, as he was quite disgusting to handle at the moment, with all of the zombie gore. Since I was also disgusting, I climbed into the shower with him.
"Give me a kiss, woman" he mumbled, while clumsily reaching for my face.
"This is not the time for kissing" I stated, as I began to scrub him vigorously.
Ankh-Re's eyes rolled to the back of his head. "That feels sooo good. Scrub harder..."
I paused in my scrubbing to really take a look at him. He still had the greenish-gray cast to his skin, and every muscle in his body appeared taut.
I inspected the bite on his left shoulder. If I had not known better, I would have taken it as a bite from another vampire, as no flesh was taken from him. It was obvious that the nasty little creature did not get a chance to get a really good bite from Ankh-Re. Still - he was infected.
What was I to do? How long would this infection take hold? And how would it evolve? I was afraid for Ankh-Re and for myself. What if he tried to attack me later? I needed help - and fast.
I got out of the shower, wrapped myself in a cheap hotel robe, then I helped Ankh-Re out. While I dried him off, he stood on wobbly feet, singing and talking to himself...
I put him to bed, then called home. I thanked the Goddess when Helene answered the phone.
"Helene - this is Isis. I need you to arrange a taxi or something to get Ankh-Re and I to the nearest airport. And we need a private jet."
I gave her our out of the way location, and she said that she was on it. I was to expect a call back from her within the hour. I thanked her, then hung up the phone.
Staring at the now sleeping Ankh-Re, I wondered if he would last an hour.
