OH SNAP FINALLY UPLOADED AGAIN. I know I left you guys on quite a cliff hanger, but sometimes it's gotta be done to keep the audience entertained!
Absolute silence; that's what he heard. He was floating weightless in a white abyss. It was peaceful, but somehow unsettling. Something was bothering him and he couldn't think of it. He couldn't think of anything. When he tried to think of how he got there, a wave of white washed over his thoughts and lulled him back into a content state. He drifted in the porcelain silence for what felt like days. Honestly he didn't care, he was okay with it. He was at ease.
As he drifted aimlessly, the silence began to stir with a very distant voice. It was quiet and far away, causing Jayden to strain to understand it. It was a female voice. It was familiar but he was still unable to use his mind for any type of cognitive thought. Though the closer the voice got, the more he felt in control of his mind. They were words. The voice. Frantic. In pain?
The hunter tried to lean to the voice, his body suspended and unable to move from its motionless state. The voice moved closer at a steady pace. He concentrated on the voice, his mind finally beginning to listen to him again. It began to search for a face to match the voice, flashing up random feminine faces until stopping at one; long brown hair and green eyes piercing through the darkness of a red hoodie. Hailey. It was Hailey's voice! But where is she? He looked around frantically in the soft white that surrounded his body. With his frantic searching, the white began to shatter; pieces and shards falling down the endless drop into a black background. The darkness engulfed him and he felt as if it was strangling him. His chest was tight and he desperately needed air. Jayden struggled, trying to make his lungs work but they refused. Then finally, he inhaled.
The young hunters prone body twitched before his entire chest rose from the bed in a loud desperate gasp for air. His eyes flung open before slamming tight again, coughing hard several times. Small amounts of blood rose to his lips with every cough. His body was slammed with all the pain he couldn't feel in the white abyss. Foreign hands rolled him to his side where he gasped and coughed more. He heard a relieved sigh in front of him, followed by a body leaning over him, forehead on his shoulder and arms draped over his side. They were shaking and he could hear quiet whimpers coming from them. His gasping slowed and he let out a raspy whimper of his own. 'H-Hailey?'
'Shh don't talk. Just breathe for me.' The voice was a broken purr, saturated in emotion. Emotion? His eye fluttered open, weakly looking around the room before setting on the body on top of him. He let out a low painful groan. Every muscle in his body ached and burned as if he had been thrown in a fire pit and set ablaze. He wanted to sit up but his body was not going to allow him to. Every small movement he made hurt. Even the slow shallow breaths made his chest scream for it to stop. Hailey sat up from her position and put a hand against his cheek lightly, tilting her head a bit with a soft smile on her lips. 'Thank you for coming back to me.'
Jayden looked at her slightly confused. Coming back? Where had he gone? No way had he moved anywhere from that spot since Hailey had put him there. That was right before she started digging inside him and he blacked out. Maybe that's what she meant. He laid on his side, every breath causing his body to spark up in pain. Hailey sat up from her position on top of him, taking a thumb and wiping away the red stream from the male's lips. 'Don't move. I'll be right back'
She purred quietly before getting up and leaving the room. Jayden looked down his body, everything around him was stained red. When he attempted to sit up his body seized and forced him to stay down. It wasn't long before he could hear his lover return to the apartment. The sounds of dragging came closer down the hall before Hailey appeared in view with a limp body being dragged behind her. She threw it down in front of the bed. Jayden followed her with his eyes, turning his head to watch her drop the body in front of him. She grabbed an arm and tore it from the corpse, the sound of sputtering blood and tearing flesh filling the room. 'Can you eat?' her questioning face stared into his eyes. He looked down. Jayden didn't have an appetite, nor did he feel strong enough to even chew anything. He shook his head in response.
Hailey slowly rolled him over onto his back, loud whines and groans escaping the male's mouth every inch of the way. She carefully pulled the bloodied jacket from his chest and slid her razor sharp nail down the tattered shirt, cutting it down the center to peal it from Jayden's side wound. Finally she got a good look at it. The bleeding had slowed dramatically down and seemed to be clotting up. She let out a relieved sigh and looked at her mate's face his eyes were shut tight and his mouth half open with fast shallow breathes escaping him. His body was fighting hard to keep him alive and conscious. She leaned over him, resting her forehead into the side of his neck and purring quietly. 'Jayden…'
His head leaned a bit into hers and he whimpered in response. 'I'm so tired…'
Hailey moved to his less injured side where his leg was shattered. She looked it over, cutting his pant leg down the side from his knee down his contorted ankle, peeling it away from the messy chaos of bone and flesh that was once a shin. Chances were that leg was not going to fully heal. He would be crippled, less of a hunter. The young female shook her head of those thoughts and laid down next to him, resting her head on his shoulder. Her belly pressed against his waist, her hand resting on top of it. Her other arm found its way to the messy and sweat soaked hair of the male, running her fingers through it like she would when they were still in that facility. It seemed to always calm him down so she hoped it would work in this situation.
His face relaxed as his breathing slowed to a more steady rhythm. Hailey hushed him quietly while the strands of Jayden's hair grazed her fingers. She listened closely to ensure he was still breathing, her body feeling heavy itself. The female had exerted so much energy over the boy under her that her eyes were hard to keep open. Finally she gave into the sleep tugging at her, closing her eyes and nuzzling into his shoulder a bit more while she fell into a light sleep.
