Caroline was too tired to explain that after the day that she has had, a little kindness goes an incredibly long way. It would have taken too much effort to form those words, to explain all of it.

Her hand slithered up towards her neck, shifting her hair out of the way. "He...there's something in my neck. And I don't know if I'm still bleeding. I can't smell it."

She could smell the blood, but it seemed strangely far away. Her mind no longer instantly went to how she could take a bite out of this woman, how just a little blood would make her feel better. All there was was the pain.
