THE DRIVE.

This mainly a short story of Richie and Kate.

Also forgive me for any mistakes made, as English is not my first language, and if the story seems fast paced is because it was written spontaneously and the scene/story line between Kate and Richard was small within the tv series. Creative criticism is always welcome.

Also I do not own "from dusk till dawn" or any of the characters. All copyrights belong, I think to El Rey network, netflix and Robert Rodriguez

Richie wasn't expecting to be Kate the key to getting to the blood well, he was shocked. In all his planning he never factor in "kate" . The last time he saw her was at the twittie twister, right before he got shot. He always had believed that she had got out alive and as far away as she could. But at that moment when he saw her, he knew he had to do something to keep her safe. He owned her that much, for all the trouble he put her in order to make it to Mexico.

When Malvado made them share blood, he saw visions that made him feel even guiltier towards her, her father, her brother, and then there was that "honeymoon" with Seth, his brother. She got stuck taking care of him. And the most unexpected was that he also got her feelings towards him, anger, shock, but what really threw him by surprise was love or something close to it.

When they were in the car and driving towards the well, Richie tried to get rid of her, in order to keep her safe. He knew that once they got there, it was going to be another blood bath, and he didn't exactly knew who was going to make it. At first Richie wanted to keep Kate safe, or he lied to himself, that it was because he need it repay her a bit for all her suffering. But deep within his soul, he knew that it was because of the connection they both shared, before he became, a "culebra". It was not just about the kiss, somehow Richie's heart also told him if he had met Kate under different circumstances, he would be living a different life, no matter how brief that connection had been, he felt normal. For the first time in his life he didn't feel as the ugly stepbrother that had been forced to lived in the attic. And now he was angry at Seth for not taking Kate to the other side of the world and protect her, he was angry at Seth for the drug use but mostly was jealous at Seth for spending so much time with Kate, and then letting her go so easy.

And now that he had her just within a grasping reach, he just wanted stop the car and kiss her as much as he could, and forget about the blood well, Seth, Santanico, and everything else. But Richie knew that even if Kate loved him, there were many things that outweigh that love for him, mainly the safety of her brother Scott and the fact he was a constant reminder of the things she lost. The only reason he never actually physically forced her out of the car was that he hoped that Kate will change her mind and trust him that he would do everything in his power to protect her brother Scott.
