Is It Safe?

He's dying. He's broken. A soul is a fragile thing. He's suffered too much. He's alive. He'll recover. Why? Think what's happened to him? What right does any man have to live through that? He's lost a lot of blood.

Willy? Willy, it's Quentin. Willy? Hope upon hope, Barnabas. There's nothing there. Just the shell. I refuse to believe that. Really? Either do something useful or float away. I wish I could be the one to help.

Stop playing, you understand? We're not your toys. All I can do is watch. It's not my choice. Then who's is it? Yours, Barnabas. It always has been. What do you mean? There's hope. Barnabas knows.

Not that. The bite of a vampire. So dangerous. Get used in the right way. Why, you two are playing your parlor games. A man is dying. Willie was a victim of mine. He bears the scars of my attacks.

But now his mind is filled with pain and endless screaming. Unless you restore your whole? Yes, the vampires bite. I'm glad you're keeping up. Well, I refuse. Why? I deny that existence. Deny away. Your body may be new, but my curse is already taking hold.

There will be others, hundreds, thousands of victims of your bloodlust. You can't help yourself. So she's telling the truth? Yes. This could save him. The communion between a vampire and victim is the most powerful of bonds.

He might live, but his will would not be his own. Barnumus, this is who you are. he lives or dies you will still be a vampire and it could kill him but there's a chance with his only chance Barnabas will in this I claim the blood that flows through your veins as mine
