"Run!"

"Where? They're everywhere!"

"I don't know, just get away from here, it's too dangerous."

"You did NOT just tell me something was too dangerous for me John Quinn!" I shrieked at the top of my voice, and mind for that matter. I knew over the noise that was going on, he wouldn't hear my actual voice, but man did he ever piss me off.

"I did and you know it's dangerous, so I would appreciate it if you would leave. You`re only human Rashel."

He didn`t just go there either! My god! He was going to pay. I turned around to yell at him, but the only thing that came out of my mouth was "WATCH OUT QUINN!" and with that, I jumped into the fray looking for her. The last one of the four who had the power to save the world.

"That sounds so cheesy, Kitten." said a smirking voice in my head. It was Quinn of course.

"Ok then, how would you do it mister superior? I shot back. "Oh! By the way, call me kitten again, and the dragon won't be the only one kicking your butt" I smirked.

"Well I would call it...hmm... ending the apocalypse, saving the races of mankind, and other... odd balls... well... except for me of course. I'm going to rule the world, and you're going to be the one that fans me and feeds me grapes." I sighed. It took Quinn to be out there battling for his life, losing too I thought and laughed, and still be able to take three seconds, to find me and smile.

"Oh! And a few other things Rashel. One- I am so winning this battle."

"Says, Quinn, the one who looks half-dead."

"TWO" obviously annoyed that I interrupted him. I laughed.

"If I was dying, you wouldn't be here mocking me. AND also, I may look half-dead, but look at the Dragon, he`s three-quarters dead!" I laughed at that, but stopped a moment later. I saw her. She was right there, standing in the middle of it all. Like, I mean it; she was in the middle of it. Just standing there, looking at me. She was bleeding. Bad. I ran towards her, but tripped over-

I screamed. I just landed on top of a dead human body, with the skin already turning purple, and the eyes flattening. It was grotesque. I got up and ran towards the girl, but then, I turned towards where Quinn was, and it was all in slow motion. I saw it coming, but Quinn didn't, it would end his life for sure. It was someone, I didn't really care who, coming at Quinn with the only thing that ended a vampires life.

Wood.

I looked at the girl. Please is what I asked her with my eyes, and I knew she understood.

"I`ll try" she said, and we both turned towards the scene. In a moment, if this didn't work, the stake would hit home- straight through Quinn`s heart. She was almost there, when we both shouted.

"NO" the girl and I screamed, me in my head also. Barely a second later, there was a blue flash, and the two of us we tossed back. Hard, mind you. By the time I got up, I saw the dragon and Quinn`s attacker leaving with the girl.

"No!" I shouted. That was our last hope, but a second later, they disappeared. Knowing it would be a waste of my time, stumbling around looking for a Wild Power, a Dragon and a bitch, I ran to where Quinn was breathing. Barely. I sighed in relief, and kissed him.

"We slipped up this time. You know that right? They're going to eat our heads." I sighed and called for help.
