"Alex!" Myrnin shouted again. One my one the he dig through the rubble. Tiffany and Jack came up beside him and started digging. They were half way through when Myrnin saw her hand. His heart stopped as he pulled Alex's lifeless body into his arms.
"Alex." Myrnin breathed her name. Her felt for a pulse and found none.
"Myrnin! We have got to get out of here! The place is going to blow any moment." Jack yelled looking at his sister lying in his arms. Myrnin cradled Alex gently in his arms as he summoned a portal.
"Omg Alex!" Eve screamed. Myrnin placed Alex on the couch. He took her face within his hands. Shaking he started CPR.
"Come on..come on baby." Myrnin whispered as he breathed into her mouth again. She didn't stir. A sob ripped from his chest and Myrnin laid his head down on her stomach. He heard crying and then a gasp. Numb to his surroundings Myrnin flinched and froze when a hand touched his hair. Afraid to move, afraid to breath Myrnin waited for the touch again. When he felt it his head snapped up and he looked into dazed hazel eyes.
"Myrnin." She whispered shakily.
"Alex." He choked and wrapped her into his arms. He buried his face in her neck to hide from the others his tears of relief. Alex stroked Myrnin's hair as she tried to focus on her surroundings. Eve was sobbing in Michael's arms as Claire was sobbing in Shanes. Both guys also had wet faces. Sniffling she looked at her brother who was holding onto Tiffany. He was crying.
"What happened?" She asked her words barely audible.
"You died there for just a little while. We thought we lost you." Jack managed. Alex's eyes filled with tears as the world started to fade away again.
"Myrnin." She started. His gripped tightened.
"Don't worry your fine." She nodded and drifted off hearing his whispered, "Sleep well my love."
2 days later...
Alex was in bed finishing the last touches in her art project. She smiled satisfied at her work. Setting it down she glanced over to see Myrnin sleeping in a chair nearby. He had refused to leave her side ever since the fire. She still had trouble believing she had died if only for a minute or two. A knocked sounded at the door and she turned to see Eve standing there with a tray of food. Smiling she chided,
"You're spoiling me." Eve snorted and came in placing the tray on her lap. Alex glanced at the white lily lying beside the bowl of soup and glass of soda. Groaning her appreciation after her first spoonful of soup Alex grinned.
"I am surprised it actually tastes good!" Eve laughed and playfully swatted her on the arm.
"I can cook when I feel like it." Eve defended herself but then whispered, "It was from a can." Alex who had a spoonful of soup in her mouth choked and started to cough. In a flash Myrnin was beside her patting her back.
"I am fine, you can stop hitting me." She said shooting him a mock glare.
"No Myrnin go right ahead. She needs a good smack after doing something so stupid." Eve said. Alex pouted at both of them. Eve and Alex started to talk about random things while Myrnin put in a comment or two. Alex finished her soup and noticed the hungry look in Myrnin's eyes as he eyed the bowl.
"Myrnin I am safe at the moment. Why don't you go get something to eat." Alex suggested. She knew he hadn't eaten anything in over three days and even though he could control the urge for blood it was taking its toll on his physical health.
"Well alright. I will be right back." He said and left the room quickly. Alex sighed turning to look at Eve with a dreamy expression in her eyes.
"Girl we both got it bad don't we." Eve said. Alex nodded in understanding. Eve took the tray off Alex's lap. She eyed the door and then looked at Alex. Alex rolled her eyes and said,
"Eve I will be fine." Eve stood her ground for a few seconds but left laughing when Alex shooed her playfully away.
Alex sighed and rested her head against her pillows. She felt the sudden shift in her room. Knowing instinctively that it wasn't Myrnin or one of her friends Alex kept her eyes close while she said quietly,
"Hello Bishop." She heard a chuckle and opened her eyes to see Bishop looming over her. His eyes blood red she could almost picture her death. Her breath caught but she stared him done.
"You couldn't have died? You had to save them. You just couldn't have listened to me could you Alex." Bishop growled taking another step forward. Alex saw a flash at the door and the next moment Myrnin was pinning Bishop up against the wall. Michael along with Eve ran into the room. Eve throw Myrnin a stake which he caught and looking directly in Bishop's face stabbed him in the heart. Bishop since he was older wouldn't die immediately.
"I will take him." A voice said from the doorway. Alex turned to see Amelia the founder of Morganville step into the room followed by Sam and Oliver. Amelia whispered some to her father which caused him to scream and struggle. Sam and Oliver both took one of Bishop's arms and disappeared with him through the door. Amelia turned to look at Alex who was now in Myrnin's arms.
"He will no longer harm you." She said and with one last look disappeared through the door. Alex shivered. The temperature in the room immediately grow warm again.
"I just can't leave you alone for a second can I?" Myrnin asked looking at Alex amused. The others quietly left the room and closed the door behind them.
"I guess not. You will just always have to be with me." Alex teased. Myrnin got a serious look in his eyes. Myrnin growled and put his hands on either side of her face.
"I guess I will." Myrnin growled before kissing her soundly. Alex snuggled deeper in Myrnin's arms.
"I love you." She told him softly. His arms tightened around her.
"I love you too Alex. Always. Forever." They drifted to sleep.
I know..I had Alex die but just for a few minutes. Everythings good. The epilogue is next.
