"Ash" Mare called into the darkness of her dream world "Ash where are you!"
Her voice was scared and shaky. All around her it was dark and all she could feel was a burning pain. One arm she found was too heavy to even lift and the other was being held onto.
"ASH!" she screamed into the nothingness sensing something wrong around her
"Hello my dear" a cruel voice came from her left "I see your still living, but no matter I can deal with that"
Mare could feel a sharp pain in her arm like nails clamping on tightly. Looking down she saw through the darkness the red of her blood running down her arm from the newly made cuts.
"You ruin my revenge" the voice hissed again "but next time there will be no escape"
"ASH!" Mare screamed again causing her lungs to burn with pain.
------
"Mare" Ash cried shaking the screaming girl awake
She came to from the darkness to find herself lying on a couch with Ash at her side.
"Are you okay sweetie?" he asked pulling her into a gentle hug
She nodded pulling out of his arms to enable herself to get shakily to her feet. Once standing she felt Ash's arm snake around her waist as he helped her walk towards their room.
"Ash what happen?" she whispered hoping he could sort out the blurry inside of her mind
"They captured you" he replied helping her climb into bed before he followed and pulled her body in close to his, his arms loosely around so as not to cause more pain "so I followed Fern up to the room and they had you at the balcony. They set us up, and then they threw you over and I had to watch you fall. I jumped they after you and brought you back here, you were barely alive just holding on by a thread so I exchanged blood and turn you. Thea fixed up your arm and cuts and since then you've slept"
"I'm…I'm a vampire?" she whispered her eyes questioning his
"I had to save you sweetie, it was the only way. You were going to die and I didn't want to lose you."
"And Fern?"
"She's still out there, but I'm going to find her because nothings going to hurt you ever again"
Mare nodded and snuggled in closer to him
"I love you" she whispered leaning up to kiss up
"I love you too Mare, always" he replied
