Valerie hesitated for a brief moment, scared to drink from Jason's hand in case it awakened the beast within her. But the hunger within her was too much to resist, especially once the first droplet dripped from his cut and onto her tongue.
She lunged forwards, clamping her teeth into his hand on instinct to keep it anchored in her mouth, as more blood sprayed into her mouth.
Jason winced as the teeth pierced into his flesh and scraped against his bones, but he didn't even try to pull away as he let Valerie drink from him. Drop by drop, ounce by ounce, gulp by gulp. With every mouthful of crimson goodness, Valerie's internal injuries started to rapidly heal.
Whilst Jason was being used as Valerie's personal IV, he raised his eyes from her and focused on the battle at hand, waiting for the next person to need his help.
He was so focused on the twisted abomination, as was everyone else, that he missed the sight of its shadow squirming until a colossal creature leapt out of it.
