"Okay then. Let's get down to business." She pulled a huge hunting knife out of her pocket and handed it to him blade first. He stared at it for a moment, barely reflecting the half moon above. "Take it." He grabbed the flat of the blade with his thumb and curled forefinger, half expecting her to jerk it away to draw blood for some sort of ritual, but she just let it go. "We need your blood, but we can't take it from you."
"I'm not gonna just-"
"Of course not. Only enough to cover the blade."
"Why? What the hell are we doing down here? What is this for?"
"We need your help."
"Why me?"
"Don't be stupid. You know."
"Then what's this for?"
"Oh come on, you didn't see this coming?"
Another girl grabbed both his hands. "You know how this story ends."
