"Ash?"

Ash smiled and then Mary-Lynnette was in his arms. "Goddess! I've missed you so much." Ash murmured into her hair. Mary-Lynnette pulled away, the tears that tracked her face shine silver in the moonlight. She knew he had changed. She smiled at him and then they were kissing. A pink haze filled Mary-Lynnette's heart and mind. A perfect moment, then Ash pulled away.

"What's wrong?" Mary-Lynnette felt Ash's body tense under her embrace.

"I heard something. Listen Mare be careful, okay. I'm dangerous to be around."

"What? Why? Ash, what's going on?" There was fear in her voice, but not the fear was for Ash not herself. Ash couldn't hold Mary-Lynnette's questioning gaze. Sighing he told her.

"When I left here, I wandered for a while and ended up in Vegas. Thierry Descourdres, he's the leader of Circle Daybreak, lives there. I'm a Daybreaker Mare, and for most of the past year I've been helping them try and find the Wild powers needed at the millennium. I'll explain all that later, the point is I've got most of the Nightworld after me, and if they hurt you to get to me I don't know what I'd do. So be careful. Please." The worried tone in Ash's voice scared her, as did the worried look in his eyes.

"Okay Ash. I'll be careful but what about you?"

"I'll be okay. It's you I'm worried about. I don't want you to get hurt," said Ash, quickly dismissing what Mary-Lynnette had said.

"I don't want you to get hurt either Ash. Why can't you understand that? I love you and I don't want to live if your not here too." Ash smiled.

"I love you too, always know that." He said taking hold of her hand, "I'll walk you home."

"I'll see you tomorrow," whispered Ash, before kissing Mary-Lynnette gently on the lips. Mary-Lynnette watched as he disappeared into the night, then turned and walked into the house.

"What time do you call this Mare?" Her father asked as soon as the door clicked shut.

"What? Oh my God," the clock on the wall showed one-forty-nine. "I'm so sorry. I was star watching until midnight and then I went to see Rowan I must have lost track of time. I'm sorry. It wont happen again." Mary-Lynnette could tell he was annoyed with her.

"I don't mind you out Mare, but after Jeremy going missing last year I just like to know you're safe. Anything could have happened to you."

"Okay Dad." Mary-Lynnette turned ad headed to her room. She wondered were Ash was, Did Rowan and the girls know he was back yet? If they didn't they would soon enough. Mary-Lynnette had just closed her bedroom door when her private line rang. She picked up the receiver wondering who would call her so late, or was it now classed as early?

"Hello?"

"Hi Mare, I've been calling for the past three hours. Where have you been? Out star watching?" A female voice came down the line.

"Hi Chloe," laughed Mary-Lynnette, "You must be the only person who rings their friends at two am."

"I can't help it if that's the only time I'm able to get hold of you. So where'd ya go and why do you sound so happy? It's scaring me." Chloe joined in the laughter.

"I've been out star gazing and the Ash showed up." Mary-Lynnette smiled to herself as she spoke.

"So the famous Ash Redfern returns. So when am I meeting him and giving him my seal of approval?"

"I don't know. I don't even know how long he's staying." Mary-Lynnette sighed not wanting to think about Ash leaving again.

"Oh well I guess I'll just have to wait and see then." Chloe sighed dramatically then laughed again.

"I guess so. I'd better go Chloe. I'll see you later okay." Mary-Lynnette said as she tried and failed to stifle a yawn.

"Okay Mare. I'll see you later. We're meeting at one right, are you sure you can get up for that time?" Chloe asked.

"I'll be fine. Bye Chlo." Mary-Lynnette hung up and collapsed onto her bed. Within seconds she was asleep.
