Ash was taking Mary-Lynette on a date today. He smiled warmly at the thought. He made his way over to her house in his black car. He stopped, and walked up to her door, knocking on it like a gentleman. The door opened, revealing Mark. He glared coldly at Ash; yes, he wasn't fond of his sister's boyfriend. Ash smiled, and behaved himself like a real gentleman.
"Hello, Mark." He said, smiling wider.
"Ash." Mark said. Ash pursed his lips. Mark was about to say something, when they both heard a shriek from inside the house. They both ran in, calling Mary-Lynette. Ash ran with his vampire speed, not caring if Mark saw him or not. He ran into the room that belonged to Mary-Lynette, hurriedly running in. No one was there.
"Mary-Lynette?" Ash called, looking around the room. "Mary-Lynette!" he called, more urgently. He took off from the window, following the scent of that awful doggy. Heh. Doggy. Anyway, so he went all around the house, but the scent didn't go farther than a foot away from the walls of the house. So, giving up, he walked back inside, finding a very mad Mark.
"What are you?" Mark yelled, holding something. Ash smelt blood. He went around to face what Mark was holding, finding an unconscious Mar-Lynette in his arms. He took her from him, holding her up bridal style. He then proceeded to carry her to his car, putting her in the passenger seat, Mark in the back. Ash didn't care right now. All that mattered was finding out what happened to Mare. Ash would do anything, just to know what happened to her so he could keep her safe.
Mark broke the awkward silence when they were halfway there.
"What are you?" he asked again. Ash looked at him with deep red eyes through the rearview mirror, and said coldly;
"That's not important."
They stayed quiet for the rest of the ride. When they got back to the house, Ash carried Mary-Lynette into the house, setting her on the couch. They had a lot of explaining to do...

Mary-Lynette woke up with a sudden jolt. She didn't remember what happened. She sat up, noting she was on a comfortable bed. She looked around, and got up, once again noting she was not at her house. She went down the stairs, finally realizing she was at Ash's house. She heard hushed voices from downstairs, and walked down to see Jade, Rowan, Kestrel and Ash all sitting down, in a circle talking. When they saw her, they stopped talking, smiling immediately. She pushed the conversation to the back of her mind, not wanting to ponder over it. They all talked in what seemed like tension hanging in the air, when Ash decided to take Mare home.
The drive was silent, and Mary-Lynette found that she had passed out in the house, was taken to the Redfern residence, and Mark had gone home already. Now, Mary-Lynette had no idea how to talk to Ash, but Ash seemed deep in thought, not taking a notice to her sitting there beside him. She felt lonely. When he stopped the car, she looked at him, wanting a peck on the cheek or at least a smile, but –
She got a blank stare looking out the window.
Mary-Lynette felt her heart fall, and she got out of the car, going inside her house. Before she even made it to her front door, Ash's car was gone. Had he lost interest in her? She didn't know, and she was planning on just lying down on her bed and going to sleep.
She got to her room, and was almost asleep when she heard something from the window. Then, as she opened her eyes to see what it was, she froze in fear. There was a shuffling noise, like feet walking on the floor, coming closer to her bed. She looked toward it when it suddenly stopped, and was about to scream, when something hit her hard, and she closed her eyes.
Don't! Open your eyes you weakling! She heard her conscience yell at her. She tried to open her eyes, see the moonlight outside her window, but couldn't. Her head felt heavy, her eyelids felt heavy, heck her whole body felt heavy. Mary-Lynette tried so hard, so hard, to try and open her eyes, to fight against whatever was in her room, but failed, feeling her body sink to the floor. She wasn't a fighter. She was weak. She felt powerless, she felt nothing.
Against the protest of her conscience, her mind couldn't help but think one last thing before she was swept away into the black darkness that welcomed her.
Ash...!
