''Sooo?" Ash looked relaxed enough but the others had left for some business and he was staying to guard me.
"Yes, Ash?" I looked over from where I sat on the couch watching tv to where he stood by the other couch.
"Why do you need a guard? You are a shapeshifter! A lion!" He was still mad about being left to guard me.
"Because Ash it is very important that nothing happen to the child of a wildpower." I motioned to my stomach where with only Black leggings and a tank top I was showing enough to be obviously pregnant.
"Oh yeah. Well ummm..." He sat on the couch and decided not to say anything more.
It seemed like hours of awkward silence before there was a knock at the door, I stood to answer it but Ash stood and looking serious motioned to stay quiet. He crept to the door and looked through the peep hole before opening it just a crack.
"Hello, sir. Would you like to buy a copy of-" The young mans voice was cut off by Ash slamming the door.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number quickly while at the same time taking my elbow and dragging me down a hall into the farthest room. I was so freaked out if he hadn't been holding onto me I might have collapsed. Ash was never this serious unless it was something bad. With a capitol B.
"Thierry. Code Butterfly." His voice was scary but his words were even worse. Butterfly meant we were in serious danger and needed back-up now. It also meant the threat was here now and we couldn't wait for back-up.
A few seconds later Ash shut the phone and dragged me into the biggest bedroom. It was the room Thierry and Hannah shared, Ash kept a tight grip on my elbow and lead me too the closet.
A window shattered in the front of the house and at the thought of a fight adrenaline pumped through my veins. My eyes started to change and my skin felt too tight.
Ash opened the closet and bent to move shoes and boxes. Then he pulled the floor up or rather the trap door revealing a few steps into darkness.
"Change and run as fast as you can. The others will meet you at the end. Go."
"I can't leave you. We can fight until-"
"No. They are going to blow this place up. I can smell it. Run."
Now that he said it I could smell explosives too. Without thinking I grabbed his hand and dragged him into the tunnel. Then I changed. The feeling of turning into liquid only lasted seconds before I was on all fours and sprinting down a dark tunnel with a vampire running alongside me.
We didn't get far before there was light and in this form I could smell the other daybreakers.
It wasn't fast enough though. The house exploded behind us and I was thrown forward into the dirt packed wall. Everything hurt but started to fade into black.
Sam!
Dylan. I'm so sorry.
Then everything went completely black and the pain stopped.
Dylan POV
For the first time in months I could feel Sam through the bond. She was scared and that was all that mattered. Her.
Sam! I yelled through the bond as pain exploded through from her.
Dylan. I'm so sorry.
I tried to say something back. To tell her everything was okay but she was unconscious.
Standing up from my corner I ran to the door and slammed it open. Before I knew it I was down the stairs and heading for the garage.
On the way out of town I used my phone to call Thierry.
"It's Sam. I can feel it Thierry. She needs help." Even if she was unconscious I could feel her and the direction she was. So I drove way over the speed limit and ignored the no talking on the phone while driving billboard.
"I know. We have her. The jet is going to bring us home. Be ready. They need to be healed."
"They? Was someone else hurt?"
Without answering he hung up and I turned the car around knowing that I probably had a few hours before they got back.
The hours seemed more like years with me waiting by the landing strip where the jet would land.
Finally after dark had fallen the lights of an air craft lit the sky. It landed and I ran to the door just as it opened.
Ash jumped out and reached back to help Morgead lift someone out.
Someone with long black hair and a black tail.
"Sam!" I yelled and rushed over to take her from them.
She was covered in scrapes and bruises and some burns. Wrapped in a giant sheet she looked little and helpless, even with a tail.
Thierry lead the way inside with me following to the hospital room. I barely noticed the others following behind. All I could think about was Sam.
She looked the same. Same cheekbones, same eyebrows, same everything except her eyes. They had dark bags underneath and even closed I could see the sadness, worry and tiredness there. It made me want to cry. Maybe I was crying. I couldn't tell anymore.
The hospital room had a few hospital beds and a bunch of doctor stuff. I set Sam on a cot and started to take off the dirty sheet when Thierry stopped me.
"She was coming back. Remember that."
"I don't care that she left." I said and continued to remove the old sheet.
Sam was completely naked underneath but that was expected since she had probably changed. Her entire front was scraped and bloody with big chunks of skin missing.
I looked at her side and almost fainted. It looked like she had tried to turn and protect her stomach from the worst of her injuries so her back and side were the worst. Her back was burned so bad it looked black. Her side was scraped and bruised too.
Sitting in a chair by the bed I used a scalpel someone handed me to cut my hand then I reached out and held her hand.
This time I could feel the magic healing her and flowing into her.
Jez pulled the sheets over her and up to her chest. Then she looked a me like she was expecting something. When I just stared back she glanced at Sam's stomach. I followed her gaze and finally noticed that there was a bulge there. It clicked. All the nights I had spent wondering why and it never made sense.
"Is she? No. She couldn't..." My voice was cracking and strangled sounding.
"We couldn't tell if its alright..." She looked worried and nodded to the bulge again. "Try to focus on it." Then she left me alone with Thierry and Sam.
"Jez is right." Thierry said and then he left too.
"Sam?" I whispered and moved closer. I kissed her forehead and put both hands on the bulge.
The baby.
"Please." I sent a silent prayer to the goddess and laid my head on Sam's stomach.
I just found out we were having a baby and I might loose it...
HEYYY! Review PLEASEEE!
