Jez looked at Morgead, he was sleeping although she had doubts that he really was, he was lying down in the clothes that he had been wearing that night, she was probably meant to be in school but today she decided to skip again, she lay there in Morgead's room, next to his sleeping form, on his bed. She watched him with great amusement, he looked so peaceful for a change, although they had both been on edge lately, she had been involved with Circle Daybreak a lot as well as hunting down vampires that killed just because they could. Morgead assisted her with some of the kills, but she had been doing them by herself, after she lost the bodyguards that protected her, courtesy again of Circle Daybreak. She looked at his long lashes, she exhaled deeply, she was tired, it didn't feel like she much energy left, perhaps she should get some sleep, she needed it, she had been feeling more worn out lately more than ever, more than she ever had. She shut her eyes, telling herself that she would just rest her eyes but she couldn't bring herself to open them again.
He opened his eyes, there was a warmness on his chest, it was slightly heavy but it was more is comforting than anything. His vision was blurry at first then he looked down to see Jez sleeping, she was in a deep sleep, she looked happier and more carefree than she had been in the past few weeks. Everything was beginning to take a toll on her, as well as him but he was just better at masking it up. He just stayed like this, watching her sleep, she looked like she was somewhere peaceful, it lit up his world. She squeezed her eyelids shut and then flashed them open, they were both gazing into each other's eyes. "You should be at school." Said Morgead, totally killing the beautiful moment. Jez rolled her eyes, the tiredness was still in her eyes. "School is for idiots." She mumbled and he smiled. "Then maybe you should be there." He said gently in her ear.
"You're the idiot, idiot." She retaliated. She shut her eyes and placed her arm gently on the his shoulder, "I love you regardless, even if you are an idiot." She mumbled, she was too tired to be having this conversation or any conversation for that matter. "Good to know, Jezebel Redfern." he said, saying her full name just to annoy her, playfully of course. And then Jez did something completely out of character, she said nothing, she just shut her eyes and clung onto Morgead, the feeling of his body heat was lulling her into a haven of relaxation. Morgead immediately jumped to the conclusion, that something was wrong or something was not right. 'Talk to me.' He said to her telepathically. She ignored him, she just groaned. 'Tell me what's wrong.' He tried getting information out of her. 'So tired, just want to sleep, in so much pain, want it all to go away.' Was the only answer he got. He sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She looked paler than usual, there was definitely something up, he just didn't know what, but it had him worried more than anything. But what could he do when Jez was being stubborn, if he pushed her into talking, he would push her away from him and that was the last thing that he wanted to do.
The nightmares were haunting her, she would see the blood all over her parents and the voices that were echoing inside her head. "Kill her! Kill the freak!" She felt as if she was slowly going insane, she had wanted Morgead to back off a little, she loved him more than anything, he was her soul mate but she just didn't want him to worry about something that she could take care of by herself. But the more she got annoyed and started acting like someone who was nothing like her real self, the more concerned he got and the more clingy he was, the type of person who was going to kill you by smothering you with love. She didn't want him to worry, the more she wanted him not to, the more he did worry. She was pretending to sleep, she was resting her eyes as she kept telling herself, she didn't want to go back to the nightmares and let them swallow her. She made a fist with both of her hands, then she trailed them on Morgead's chest and then back to the sheets of the bed. She was so tired though, her mind was screaming at her to sleep and not dream, she'd tried and it hadn't worked, no matter how much she wanted it to. She squeezed her eyelids tighter, so they were sealed shut and nothing would be able to pry them open. The she felt a pain in her stomach and her eyes flashed open, she felt like she couldn't speak, it had literally knocked the wind out of her, she gasped loudly, it hurt too much to breath. Then she felt her teeth lengthening, she looked at Morgead who was trying to figure out what was happening with her when his teeth lengthen at an instant. They both looked down at the white sheets that were now covered with red blood. Jez' blood, the metallic smell was filling the air. The only thought that Jez managed before she fell limp was 'Oh Goddess!'
"Fuck." Said Morgead loudly once he saw the blood on the sheets but even more importantly so, on Jez. She fell unconscious, her whole body went limp but the blood was still pouring out of her, her teeth had retracted and he was trying his hardest not to be tempted by her blood. She could be dying, he gently rolled her over to the other side of the bed and then when he got up he picked her up and called a healer, praying to himself and every God that he knew existed as well as he sent a few prayers to the witches of Hellewise that Jez would be okay.
