Aaron's Blood Page #4

---

I'm guessing that's not true.

One of the misconceptions.

I'm not sure where

that one came from.

Misconceptions.

What others are there?

Well, I don't sleep in a coffin.

And, flying?

Well.

And living forever,

that's not a myth?

Forever.

How can anyone be sure?

How old are you?

Not old.

I was born in 1908.

So, this means that

Tate's never gonna grow up?

Well, if you mean

his physical body, no.

Well how are we supposed

to deal with that?

We'll figure it out.

One day at a time, just

like the prayer says.

Lord, give me the strength

I need to face today.

What prayer is that?

Prayer for strength,

one of my favorites.

I need to know something.

Okay.

Have you ever killed

innocent people?

Why must you know that?

Just trying to figure

out what to expect.

Nobody's completely

innocent, are they?

So you have, right?

Not anymore.

I wanna hear it.

What?

The prayer for strength.

Oh, okay.

Oh lord, you are holy

above all others.

No, no.

I want you to pray with me.

Okay.

Oh lord, you are holy

above all others,

and all the strength we

need is in your hands.

We do not ask, oh lord, that

you take this trial away.

Instead we ask that your

will be done in our lives.

Aaron, hold him down.

Stand on him!

Hold it up.

Ah, that's terrible.

You sure this is gonna work?

No promises.

Hello?

Hey, did you find him?

No.

Aaron?

Aaron!

Uh, just stay there and

call me if he shows up.

Mom?

Mom.

Honey, what's wrong?

It's this kid from

school, he's out there!

No, he's coming after me!

He's a demon, call for

help, he's coming after me!

Stay right there.

No!

Tate!

Tate!

Tate!

Oh my god.

Tate, where have you been?

Are you okay?

You should stay away from me.

What are you talking about?

Come inside, come on.

Where did you go?

Well do you know

where he might be?

Okay, listen, I gotta go.

Yeah.

Okay.

Listen to me, I'm

gonna be right there,

don't you let him go anywhere.

Evening, officers.

What's going on?

Aaron Diaz?

Yeah.

Where were you between

three and four this afternoon?

Um, why do you ask?

He was with me.

And where was your car?

I had it with me all day.

Do you know an Abigail dasher?

No.

No, I don't think so.

Were you driving in the

Bella vista neighborhood

at any time, Montclair street?

No.

Sir, Abigail dasher

says a man attacked her

this afternoon at her home.

A man fitting your description,

in your car, with

your license plate.

Oh no, that's

gotta be a mistake.

I think she has the wrong car.

I don't think so.

See, she took a photo

of you, driving away,

and it's indeed your car.

I can show you the

photo if you like.

Sir, can you turn around

and put your hands

behind your back?

You have the right

to remain silent.

Hey!

I said he was with me.

Do you have any idea what

the penalty is for this?

I'm guessing it's a doozy.

Tell me, do you have any kids?

It's none of your business.

How about you?

Yeah, two.

Is there anything you

wouldn't do for them?

No.

What does that have

to do with anything?

He's just a guy trying

to save his son, is all.

Where is he?

Bedroom.

I need your blender.

Okay.

Now!

Hey bud.

Hey dad.

You okay?

Where were you?

I was thirsty.

Look, it's gonna be all right.

I didn't do anything.

I couldn't.

I can't kill again.

I wanna die.

And you have to kill me.

Hey.

Please!

Stop, stop, no, don't say that.

Please!

Look, listen to me.

Listen, I found something.

What is that,

what are you doing?

Listen, Tate

caught something bad.

I'm doing everything I

can to make it better.

Is that blood?

Yeah.

Where did you get it?

Doesn't matter.

What are you gonna do with it?

It's for Tate.

Would you tell

me what's going on?

I need you to

trust me right now.

And promise me that no

matter what happens,

Tate and I are gonna

have your support.

Of course, you know that.

Okay.

Is this gonna work?

Is has to.

You need to drink this.

It stinks.

I know, just do it fast.

Now what?

I don't know.

I guess we just wait.

Hey Vaughn.

You wanna bet how

long it takes dispatch

to send someone to

come look for us?

How much?

Hundred bucks?

Who are you?

We could use some help.

What the?

Hey!

Help, help!

F***!

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

No!

Tate?

Tate.

Tate?

Tate?

Tater, come on.

Oh my god, Tate!

Tate!

Tate, tater, talk to me Tate.

Tater.

Don't call me that.

Get away from me.

Oh my god.

Oh my god, what's happening?

Karen!

Please, you need

to get out of here.

Karen.

Tate.

Come on, Tate, come back to me.

Tate.

No!

Oh my god.

Oh my god, I don't

know what to do.

Oh, buddy.

Hey, dad.

Bud?

What happened?

Well?

Hey, it worked.

Glad to hear it.

I don't know how to thank you.

Don't worry about it.

Tell him that it's all my fault.

Okay, that I just

forced you into it.

No worries, they

ain't coming after you.

I'll take the blame,

I will, all of it.

They ain't coming

after me, either.

Why?

We got a plan.

Just remember, you were with me.

What happened?

You didn't cut Mike's

head off like I told you to,

that's what happened.

Oh yeah, I know.

I couldn't, I'm sorry.

Oh my god, did he?

It's all good.

We got it all worked out.
