Renewing an acquaintance

Tory awoke on a gasp, eyes snapping open as she jolted awake as the door slammed shut. Gabe froze, his hand stopped a scant inch away as he had reached to caress her face. A look of guilt passed over his sharp features, the eyes she had once loved widening in surprise as she gave in briefly and pressed her cheek against his fingers, needing the small amount of comfort it provided to her wounded soul. It was all she would allow herself, this fleeting contact she could put down to the confusion of the situation and blow to the head. She heard Gabes quick intake of breath and quickly came to her senses, jerking her head away, wincing at the throbbing pain that accompanied the movement. Reaching up she felt the lump at the back of her head and frown, she should be healing a lot quicker than this. Close proximity to any of her kind should speed the process and fill her with strength. Instead her head seemed to be healing at human rate and she still felt weak as a kitten, despite obviously having been with Gabe for hours at least. She looked at him in puzzlement, a million questions rushing to her lips only to be halted by another familiar face rushing in the door. A huge smile appeared on her face as the friend she hadn't seen in years suddenly appeared. "Drake! It's so great to see you..even under the circumstances" Ignoring her aching head she jumped out of bed and leaped into his embrace, grinning as her kissed her cheek " Hey princess, helluva way for us to see each other again but I have to say you're a sight for sore eyes" Gabe suppressed the hiss of jealousy and possesion that sprang to his lips, his fangs attempting to fill his mouth as his emotions tried to gain control.
