And the lion fell in love with the lamb, chapter two.

A/N: Okay so as asked/requested/demanded by quite a lot of people, I finally got around to writing something that I was happy with. So I hope that you all like it and let me know whether I should add more or leave it as is. I don't mind criticism either as long as it is constructive and not directed at me but clearly at the issue that you don't like about my writing and I'll do my best to fix it. Sorry about the long wait for this chapter as well but hopefully it was worth the wait... And I also know that I said that it wouldn't be until the new year until I updated but I felt inspired. Merry belated Christmas?


Claire walked down the crowded corridor of her school, Jez had moved out, she'd felt lonely since Jez had left, as strange as it sounded. It was like they had bonded over the time that they hadn't hated each other and that was only for a couple of days, and it was also the time in which Claire discovered the truth, Jez claimed to Claire's parents that she was going back to live with her other Uncle Bracken but Claire knew she was going to live with Morgead. She sighed as she walked to her locker to get her books, school felt different now without Jez, well it wasn't like she was there anyway but it just felt weird. Claire hadn't seen Jez or Morgead in at least two months now, she saw Hugh on a regular basis though which was one thing that was keeping her sane. Claire had joined Circle Daybreak, for the sake of her cousin and Claire herself didn't want the world to end so that was a good enough reason for her to join the organisation and help out when and where she could. Claire grabbed her notebook, she had been so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the bell had already rung and she was the only person in the hallway apart from another boy who looked to be seventeen and he had black hair with beautiful yellow eyes, the colour simular to onyx but still not quite. It didn't even occur to Claire that he could be dangerous until she closed her locker door and then she turned to walk to her classroom for biology when the boy was suddenly in front of her, but he should of been behind her, she was seriously confused and then it clicked. 'Uh oh.' She thought before the boy slammed her head against the lockers, she was still barely conscious when she felt foreign arms pick her up and then he ran off with her in tow.


Morgead paced the room, he had no idea what was going on, it couldn't be her period, she wasn't due. It had like it had been days, a couple of weeks, long tiring hours of nonstop worrying but in reality, it had only been three or four hours. The time hadn't been the exact thing that he was concentrating on. He wanted to kill something, a vampire, he wanted to rip something to shreds, he was about to destroy the room until someone's voice spoke up. "She's going to be fine, you know how strong she is." It was Hugh, he hadn't seen Hugh for months. Morgead just looked at him, he wanted to say something but he couldn't, we was too worried about Jez, something wasn't right. "I don't blame you for not saying anything, I can only imagine how worried you are about her." Hugh continued. Morgead fisted his hands at his sides. "She's resting." Said the healer, Morgead had forgotten her name, Jez had been the only person on his mind.
"Is she okay?" asked Morgead.
"There was complications but Jez is fine." This was when Morgead did a double take,
"What? Complications?"
"Yes but she's fine now, you'll be allowed to see her in an hour. She need recovery time from the surgery."
"Surgery?!"
"Like I said, you'll be able to see her in an hour but for no longer than five minutes."
"Five minutes? Do you know who I am?!" Morgead was clearly outraged, this was Jez, his soul mate and it felt like he was in a bloody hospital when the nurses and doctors always had ridiculous rules that he intended on breaking but at the same time, they never gave you a straight answer. He found them all infuriating. "I know who you are Morgead but this is not about you, it's about a wild power that we cannot afford to lose with the upcoming battle..." And now this healer was referring to the love of his life, the very reason he wanted to wake up in the mornings, the reason why he lived was all for Jez and they were referring to her as if she some kind of science project, a new weapon, a prize. Okay, thought Morgead, she is a pretty damn good weapon and a prize but that's not the point. He mentally scolded himself, this healer still hadn't given him a straight answer and he needed to know. "You need tell me everything about Jez's condition, why did she go in for surgery? Why was she bleeding? And don't tell me that it was her period because I know for a fact that she isn't due for another two weeks." His anger had risen, Hugh just stood there a few metres away from them both but he heard every word that was said. It wasn't exactly as if they'd been having a quiet conversation. "It's not my place to tell you why, to both of your questions. All you should know is that we're all lucky that we didn't lose her and that no, it wasn't her period." The healer walked away and into another room and Morgead was about to storm after her but he felt Hugh place his hands on his shoulders, giving him a friendly and silent warning that it was best to stay here and not go storming after the healer. At least Jez is okay, thought Morgead. He tried communicating with her telepathically, but it didn't work which meant that she was either in a guarded room, blocking their signal or she was unconscious. He assumed the latter as she did apparently just come out of surgery, but he still needed to know why. Why wasn't anyone telling him anything?! They're all bloody useless! Morgead concluded to himself.


Forty-Five Minutes Later...

Jez felt warm, she could feel something covering her, she inhaled and smelt a weird combination of different herbs and spices being burned. There wasn't any more pain in her stomach, in fact she felt warm, relaxed and comfortable but she had a feeling of emptiness for some reason, she couldn't quite pinpoint it and that scared Jez although she'd never admit it to anyone. She squeezed her eyes shut tighter, just allowing herself to relax, she turned on her side and tried finding Morgead with her fingers but instead of feeling another body or even more of the bed she felt the edge and then she felt the air. She turned on the other side, thinking that she must have turned on the wrong side but she felt the edge of the bed and then air. Morgead wasn't there, she didn't feel his presence nearby either. She was beginning to feel anxious. It was then that she remembered what happened this morning. Jez tried opening her eyes with everything she had but it felt as if they'd been sealed shut. Oh, Goddess. Was her last thought before she was being pulled back, her whole body went limp and all she saw was darkness.
