Nisroc grabbed Anthony just before they hit the ground, Nisroc tried to pull up but couldn't he could only skim across the rocks painfully, Anthony tucked in his arms.

Anthony sat next to Nisroc his leg in an odd angle, Nisroc couldn't sit up he had to wait until he started to heal.

"The sun!" they heard Stevie Rae yell down to them, both looked to the sky sure enough the sun was rising.

"Father! Get SSStevie Rae to sssafety now! I've got Anthony!" Nisroc yelled knowing red vampires were very vulnerable to the sun, they watched Kalona grab Stevie Rae and take off just as his brothers begun screaming.

Thankfully the transition into a raven didn't take too long and in a minute a hundred ravens took off into the skies, one in the direction Kalona took Nisroc guessed that was Rephaim.

Nisroc's back healed and he sat up he was still in a lot of pain but he had to get Anthony some where the sun couldn't touch him, but Anthony wasn't looking at the sun he was looking at Nisroc.

"Oh my goddesses, Nisroc are you alright? I am so sorry! I was just looking and it collapsed under me! You saved me again and you didn't have to but you did and now your hurt that fall could have killed you too! And…"

"Anthony!" Nisroc cut him off and he did looking like he was about to cry.

"All sssshall be okay we need to get you to ssssafety" Nisroc said the boy had a broken leg and a few scrapes Nisroc was sure he looked the same but Anthony was also getting tired from the sun rising he had heard that they had to sleep when the sun came up and it was rising.

"I can't move my leg I'm sorry" Anthony cried Nisroc held his arm.

"Thisss isss not your fault" he told him Anthony swayed a little where he sat he was bleeding, his leg was broken, he wouldn't remain conscious for much longer and the sun was still rising! Nisroc didn't know what to do.

"Take my blood it will give you ssstrength and heal you!" Nisroc commanded Anthony shivered once before biting Nisroc's outstretched wrist, Nisroc didn't know the feeling he got when he felt Anthony take his blood but he didn't want it to stop, Anthony moaned as he drank and once he had enough he pulled away.

Nisroc could see the leg was healing but he couldn't walk yet suddenly Anthony cried out in pain, the sun had reached them! Nisroc opened his wings to shade Anthony but it couldn't work forever Nisroc looked around he couldn't see anywhere that was safe from the sun, Anthony was crying and holding onto Nisroc, Nisroc held him too, still looking around, nothing around here could protecting him.

Nisroc held tightly to Anthony and jumped into the sky Anthony started screaming and Nisroc flew faster than he ever had before, he spotted the cave and flew straight into it to the very back where no sun could reach them. Anthony was crying and moaning Nisroc let go and gulped, Anthony was very badly burnt he was as red as his mark, he was shaking his tears hurting the burns on his face.

"Nisroc…I'm so…sorry you got hurt" Anthony sobbed.

"Do not concern yourssself, if I had to do it again I would" Nisroc told him honestly, he didn't know why but there was something about this boy that was special to Nisroc.

Anthony smiled through his tears and gently leaned up even though he was in serious pain, to Nisroc and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you" he whispered falling back into Nisroc's lap unconscious, his heart beat was slowing, NO!

"Nyx pleasssse do not take him from me!" Nisroc yelled echoing through the cave the goddess appeared beside him also kneeling next to Anthony.

"You have saved this boy three times tonight Nisroc I thank you for that" the goddess says,

"Pleassse sssssave him I'll do anything!" Nisroc begged he had never begged for anything in his existence, yet here he was now begging to save the life of a fledgling he had only recently met

The goddess smiled.

"You love him, as he does to"

"I cannot love, it isss impossssible" the goddess remained smiling.

"Then why did you save Anthony? You had no reason to but you have, everyone one can love Nisroc even you" Nisroc swallowed looking down at Anthony his heart beat continued to slow.

"Pleassse ssssave him" Nisroc begged again looking into the eyes of the goddess.

"There will be a price Nisroc" Nyx warned.

"I'll pay it I don't care just pleassse ssssave him!" the goddess placed Nisroc's hands over Anthony's heart light shone out from the space between them again so bright Nisroc closed his eyes but did not remove his hands the light dimmed and Nisroc looked down at Anthony then the goddess.

"Give him your blood then wait for him to awaken at sunset" she said smiling then disappearing in a shimmer of light Nisroc did not hesitate, he found a sharp rock beside him and re-opened his healed wrist it hurt but he didn't care he placed it on Anthony's mouth, the fledgling chocked at first but then begun drinking his skin returned to normal, as did his strength holding himself up and holding Nisroc's wrist, the leg was completely healed and Anthony's tired eyes met Nisroc's Anthony gasped seeing him .

"What is it?" Nisroc asked hearing his voice he sounded a little different then he realised he didn't hiss Anthony smiled.

"You're human" he said Nisroc touched his face instead of a beck, he had a mouth he put a hand on his head he had hair, he touched his back his wings were gone Nisroc did not dwell on it.

"You are healed" he said Anthony looked at himself.

"Yes thanks to you, how'd ya turn human? Why'd ya? I thought you were happy as you where?" Anthony asked Nisroc realised they were only inches from each other Anthony still on his lap he also found he couldn't bear to lie to him.

"I couldn't lose you, I don't know why but I just couldn't" Nisroc felt a warm feeling spread through him but it wasn't his emotions, with a start he realised they were Anthony's.

"We've imprinted" he said Anthony nodded.

"I noticed that" he says his eyes closing a little.

"You need to rest I'll stand watch and keep you safe" Nisroc said.

"Promise?" Anthony asked eyes opening.

"Yes" Nisroc nods Anthony smiles and leans up his lips touching Nisroc's softly an identical feeling of warmth went through Nisroc and he knew they both felt it.

Anthony pulled back with a smile his lime green eyes alive, he lay down and closed his eyes he was asleep in seconds, leaving Nisroc human, confused and feeling better than he ever had before.

"Thank you Nyx" Nisroc whispered meaning it with all his heart.
