"Please, Dany, wake up," a gentle whisper came to her ear. Warm hands grasped hers. "Wake up, sweetheart, I promise nothing's going to happen to you again."
Dany moaned softly, "Promise?"
Blaise's head shot up, eyes wide, he grabbed her and pulled her into a fierce but gentle hug, "I promise. Forever I promise."
She buried her head in his neck, wanting his warmth. "Don't leave me."
"Never," he whispered, before descending his lips on hers
"Let me go," shouted a very angry vampire. "She belongs to me!"
In a flash, Blaise was up against the bars, "Never, vampire, she will never belong to you as long as I live."
A wicked gleam flashed through Vlad's eyes, "Then we'll have to fix that, won't we?"
Blaise was about to retort, but was cut off by an excited Colt. "Blaise, man, you have to see Dany-"
"What? What's wrong with her?" questioned Blaise.
"Man, she just stopped breathing-" Blaise was gone in a flash.
Colt sighed, "Oh man."
Vlad was snarling from his attempts to beak free. "Let me go, mutt." he snarled. "Bring me to my bride."
Colt snorted, "I don't think so, Blaise will have my ass."
Vlad's eyes flashed into a hypnotizing golden yellow. "You will bring let me go."
"I will let you go." came a melancholy voice from Colt.
"You will help me retrieve my bride."
"I will help retrieve."
Vlad chuckle darkly. Good boy.
Blaise rushed into the room like bat outta hell. What he saw stopped his heart.
His mate lay unmoving, surrounded by numerous doctors trying to revive her. One doctor said something about 'cardiac arrest', and another was talking about 'heart beating too slow'. all of which was not good news.
Taking a deep ragged breath, he steeped forward and reached a hand towards his mate. Feeling slightly cold flesh, he pulled back immediately. Dread coursing in his veins.
"D-Dany," he choked out. "O-oh g-god."
Sean came into the room, obviously hearing the news about Dany. He reached his younger brother and pulled him away. Blaise put up a fight, not wanting to be away from his love.
"You shouldn't see her like this." Sean explained in a pained vice.
"NO!" Blaise shouted as he lurched forward and grabbed Dany's cool hand. "I'll never leave her, if she dies, then I die too."
Vlad appeared from the dark corner of the room, chuckling darkly. "I think we can arrange that."
