Deacon walked into the room quietly, unbuttoning his shirt. Iliana was
sleeping so he moved silently towards the bathroom as not to wake her. As
he pulled off his shirt and pushed the door, he heard her say his name and
he stepped back out into the bedroom.
She was twisting around in the bed and whispering, "Deacon...no..." over and over again. He walked over, sat on the bed, and gently placed his hand on her cheek. "Deacon." She blurted as she jolted from her sleep, breathing heavily. She looked at Deacon for a moment, trying to figure out if he was really there or not. She sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. She was really scared. She was shaking and Deacon could smell her fear.
He put his arms around her and hugged her comfortingly. "Calm down," he said gently, "it was just a dream. You're okay."
"No, Deacon, it wasn't just a dream."
"What was it, then?"
"It was a vision."
"A vision?"
"Yes. I get visions about the future. Sometimes, what I see doesn't happen but most of the time it does."
Deacon looked at her for a moment. "I...uh...wh..." He couldn't think of anything to say.
"You must think I'm out of my fucking mind."
"No, no, I don't. What did you see?"
"I saw you. You were fighting Blade. The Blood God was gone. It was almost like Blade was ready for us. He had a bunch of vampires helping him. There was nothing I could do. I tried to save you but I couldn't." Tears came to her eyes as she spoke.
"Ana, look at me. I'm invincible. Blade can't touch me." He said arrogantly, trying to reassure his love.
"Deacon, I'm serious. You can't go with me to kill Blade."
"You're not going by yourself."
"I'll take Quinn. I'll take some of the other vampires that work for you."
"No," he said, standing up, "if you haven't noticed, Quinn isn't the brightest tool in the shed and the vampires that work for me are weak."
"It's better than losing you. Please don't go. I'll be fine."
"I'm not letting you go without me."
"What are you gonna do?...Huh...what? You gonna lock me in here? Chain me to the bed?"
"Either that or I go with you so I can protect you."
"You can't protect me if you're dead."
"What do you want me to do, Ana? I can't let you go alone. He has the strength of a vampire. You're human."
"So then bite me if it'll make you feel better. Just, please, promise me you'll stay here."
He put his hand on her cheek and gazed into her eyes. She had tears in her eyes and she was still a little shaky. He leaned in and kissed her gently. "Go back to sleep, baby. I'll be back in a few minutes." She laid back down and hugged her pillow. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I love you." He said softly.
He disappeared into the bathroom and turned on the shower and she laid in the bed, thinking about her vision. I have to figure out how to go after Blade without Deacon finding out, she thought to herself. She knew Deacon was a strong and powerful vampire but she didn't want to run the risk of him dying at the hands of Blade again. She closed her eyes and tried unsuccessfully to clear her thoughts. She heard Deacon open the bathroom door and she opened her eyes as she turned over onto her back.
He walked over and laid down beside her, wearing a pair of pajama pants and no shirt. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"I can't sleep." She said, laying her head on his shoulder and putting her hand on his chest.
He wrapped his arm around her, putting his hand on her hip. "You still thinking about your vision?"
"Yeah."
"Nothing's gonna happen to me, baby. You said yourself that these visions do always come true."
"I know, baby, but I-"
"But what?"
She sighed. "I don't know. I love you and I don't wanna lose you."
"What if this is one of the ones that don't come true?"
"I hope it is."
"Look, just try to get some sleep, okay?" He kissed the top of her head as she snuggled in closer to him.
She slowly drifted off to sleep in her love's arms, feeling much better about her vision. Maybe he's right, she thought, maybe it won't come true. She had another vision that night. It made her feel even better about the vision she had earlier.
"Mrs. Frost, we're here." A familiar said.
"Thank you." Iliana said. She, Serenity, and Giselle stepped out of
Deacon's beautiful black limo. They were outside of one of his clubs.
The same club that he had attacked the man in. "Let's go, girls."
They entered the club and everyone stopped to look at her.
"Mrs. Frost." A familiar called to her. "This way." She walked to
the familiar and Serenity and Giselle walked over and sat on the couch
in the far corner. She followed the familiar up a set of stairs on
the wall by the bar into an office. "It's all yours." The familiar
said and closed the door behind him.
She looked around the office then whispered to herself. "Thank you,
Deacon."
She was twisting around in the bed and whispering, "Deacon...no..." over and over again. He walked over, sat on the bed, and gently placed his hand on her cheek. "Deacon."
