~Chapter one~

The night felt longer than usual. The eyes of Blackwell haunt me in my dreams. John death replaying over and over and over like there's no end. I scream for help, I scream for him to stop, I scream his name.

"John!"I cry out, "Don't leave me. Don't please"

My heart beating too fast to cope, Memory of Blackwell's training replaying with John's death - the torture, the horror, no sense of relief can be found the dark touching me, reaching me and whispering my name.

"Come hear Elizabeth, join us - join me"

His hand to close for comfort, his body glowing with immortality, he stares deep to my soul, a soul I once had - now sold to him and only to him. I can't breath, lung collapsing, body shaking, my body cold. Then their I saw me dead lying next to John's body - Peter - Fifer - Schuyler - and more morn to our death, hearing the shovel and the dirt collide, the soul of dirt collapsing on top of us - of me. Watching as the walls of dirt collided with my dead body.

Then another scene plays this time John and I alive on our cottage, holding a baby - which seems to be mine. It's crying in my hands - John preparing dinner as I sung a lullaby to the baby. Our perfect lives I thought, was this my future before he died? before i died? Again the scene changed this time John was holding the baby and me asleep, this time he wasn't only holding the baby but a knife on the other hand. Blood came from her - my child dead, the knife dripping with blood, John looks at me now and whispers words I cannot hear or make out then proceeded to kill me then himself.

Awoken from John shaking my arm rapidly.

"Elizabeth are you okay?" his voice sincere

My heart kept racing, my eyes started to move around the room and around John's body - was he holding any weapons? Did he plan to kill me like in my dreams? couldn't take the pain I pushed John off me and started running for the door - getting closer with every breath and every inch I felt more alive. Hands. Hands were wrapped around me pulling me from the door.

"Let her be John" someone said

"But-"

I kicked the body holding me back and started racing for the door then finally I made it. The fresh air making its way to my lungs, the sun beating down on my skin, the feeling of grass on my toes. I've never felt more alive. Turning around I saw John and Peter looking at me - concerned.

"What?" I asked

"Nothing" John replied

His face told me otherwise. This was nothing. Every since Blackwell and Nicholas death and Johns too and Caleb being alive I just couldn't cope with it as much as I hoped. And I think John understood this, he is a healer after all.

"Elizabeth?" John called, I turned my head to see his face, he's as handsome as ever.

"Yes" I replied

"Let's go for a walk, I wanna show you something"

John playfully grabbed my arm ran to the forest, me trailing behind.

"Where are we going John?"

He didn't reply, but I wasn't mad about it at all. The forest covered us from the sun and the smell of grass was soothing, and the flower as we passed by were spectacular. Until we arrived to our destination I never saw anything more beautiful than this - other from John of course. It was a lavender meadow, all covered with purple and the scent of lavender. Ran straight through the center, or what I thought was the center, and fell to my back taking in the air with everything around it.

"Did you like it?" John asked and by the looks of it he was blushing.

"Yes!" I jumped with excitement. "How did you find of this place?"

I can tell he looked hesitant to answer but did so anyway. "When my mother and sister died I was shaken by the thought of them so I tried to run from my feelings and I found this." He looked at me, "since I think we're going through the same thing I thought maybe this was the perfect time to share it with you"

"John" I didn't know what to do next, but I decided to take initiative and kiss him. "Thank you"

He smiled. We both laid at the ground staring at the clouds and naming each as they pass, somethings John claims he recognized were funny. We continued like this, in each other's arms talking, laughing, smiling, till Schuyler came to greet us.

"What ya doing there lovebirds?" Schuyler said.

We both sat up straight from the looks of it Fifer wasn't around or Schuyler left her alone. I turned to see John's face glaring at Schuyler like he wanted him dead. And of course we had to laugh it up. I smiled at both of them seeing from as the war did not affect them in ways it did to me. I kept silent as they talked, my mind driving to another dimension.

"So Schuyler, where's Fifer?" John asked

Schuyler hesitated and looked at the forest, for a moment silence had appeared. Then a scream.

"Schuyler you bastard why didn't you wait for me?" someone shouted which I'm guessing was from Fifer.

Schuyler turned and looked at John, "Does that answer your question?"

Fifer looked out of breath she must have ran far.

"You finally made it back Fifer!" Schuyler gleamed, but Fifer was not having it.

"You left me there" she panted "all alone in the forest do you have no sense of dignity leaving your girlfriend behind!"Fifer shouted

Schuyler looked confused, as if he was trying to find a good answer for that comeback but end with nothing. I looked around the forest for a way out of this conversation, then something interesting caught my eye. A homeless person. He was sitting in the garden probably starving and dehydrated, immediately I ran across the field to the man with John behind me. We both stopped, John instantly started to use his medical knowledge and helped the poor man, leaving me to find food or at least run back home to get some and I did.

Running back to the old man, and seeing Fifer, John, and Schuyler doing something to help him made me extremely happy. They all went somewhere except me, pretty sure John finding more medical stuff with Fifer and Schuyler helping him. I sat down next to the man examining the food I quickly grabbed and found some I could put together fast. Giving it to him to eat and even giving him water. He took my hand and tugged it so my ear was facing his lips.

"Thank you," he said. " I will repay your kindness."

He reached towards his bag and pulled out an amulet and placed it on my palm. I continued to examine the amulet as he spoke.

"When the 5th full moon rises, you will die." I stared at him blankly and he continued "You will be sacrificed, you will be tortured, there will be no way of escaping. No matter how far you run, you will die. But there is a way to break the curse. A sacrifice of your own blood. Your lineage. Your family."

As he finished I turned to see John, his face in horror. We were speechless.

"I live alone," I said to the man. "My family is dead i'm the only one alive. What do you mean by sacrificing someone of your own blood when I have no one left."

He shook his head with disagreement and proceeded to point at my stomach.

"There your blood will live on."

~The end~

More will be coming eventually.
