"Ash," she nudged me awake. "Ash, I think there is someone downstairs."
"It's just a racoon Spence," I mumbled.
I am sleeping. At night. The move took a lot out of me. We have been out here for about four days and we are totally unpacked. I haven't slept in those four days because I know how much Spencer hates boxes around.
So I unpacked everything and even burned the boxes.
She finally persuaded me to sleep but there are still a few things that need to be done.
"Ash." She moved closer to me and I could hear that her heart was beating fast.
She was scared.
I sighed and pulled myself up.
"Fine, I will go check it out." I kissed her and pulled on a pair of boy boxers and a hoodie that were led beside the bed.
As soon as the cold air woke me, I knew there was something in else in the house with us. Something that wasn't a bug or a rat.
It's bigger.
The heartbeat is stronger.
"Stay here Spence. No matter what, stay in this room."
"Ash, you are scaring me."
"Just lock the door behind me. Don't open it unless I say the password to my loft ok. You remember what that is, don't you?"
She nodded and I left the room cautiously and quickly checked the rest of the first floor for anything that shouldn't be there.
I found nothing.
I knew I wouldn't.
I just didn't want to go downstairs.
I didn't want to face him.
I walked down the stairs as quietly and as quickly as I could.
I saw a figure with its back to me, searching the cupboards.
"Where the hell do you keep your blood Ashley? Of course, I could go upstairs and have a little nibble on that fine woman that was in your bed. Since when are you gay Ash?"
"Aiden, what the fuck do you want?"
"Nice to see you too baby!" he smirked as he turned around.
"I'm not your baby anymore Aiden. The last time I saw you, you tried to kill me!"
"It wasn't me." he lowered his head. "It was Madison."
"You helped her Aid!"
"She was going to kill me!"
"So you figured you would help her kill me instead?"
"You never told me we had a kid."
"You didn't have it, I did."
"You never told me."
"Why should I have? It was a mistake."
"I'm sorry Ash." He sighed, "I never stopped loving you."
I stared blankly at him as he moved towards me.
"No Aiden. What did you expect! To just come walking back into my life and still have room for you!" I said quietly but angrily. "You left me. You ran away. With Madison. And I have found someone else. Someone that I love with all my heart. And I am not leaving her."
He stepped even closer and moved my hair out of my eyes.
"Look, I'm sorry for the other month,"
"Do you know what you put me through? Do you know what it feels like to be cooked? And have your hands and feet ripped apart! And then, to top it all off, I killed my fiancé! And I will never forgive myself for that."
"But isn't she-,"
"Why did you come here Aiden? Where is Madison?"
"Actually, she is why I came. You know that cult of Demons and Wizards we got involved with?" I nodded. I remembered too well. "Well their leader died or got killed or whatever. But Madison was right there to take over. She's leading all these… things that only want to either kill humans or mess with them."
"So? What do you expect me to do about it?"
"You are strong. You are stronger than I am. Madison may be stronger than you. But together, we could beat her. We could kill her. Or at least imprison her. And you would become the leader. Their queen."
"No. No! I'm not nearly killing myself for that!"
"But,"
"No Aiden! I like my life here! I'm not about to risk losing it all just s-,"
"Just so a war doesn't start. A war that we both know the humans will lose."
"What about Spencer. We are getting married in three months!"
"Ashley Davies, getting married! I never thought I would see the day."
"I know" I grinned. "I just love her so much."
"Congrats Ash."
"But what about Spencer?"
"We can keep her safe."
"I don't know. Aid, you have to let me think about this. Where are they now? Do you know?"
"I think they are about 100 miles from here, maybe more."
"Come back tomorrow, at about 9pm. You will have my answer then."
He placed a soft kiss on my cheek and stepped back.
"Do you mind if I grab a quick drink before I go?"
"The fridge. It's the handle on the left of the sink."
He took his drink and left me standing there in the darkness.
I slowly walked back upstairs and called the password to Spencer.
She enveloped me in a huge hug. I sighed and relaxed into her embrace.
"What was it?"
"Aiden."
She pulled away and gave me a puzzled look.
"Can I explain later? I'm really tired." I pouted.
"Sure." We got back into bed and I wrapped my arms around her.
"I love you Spence."
"I love you too Ash."
I kissed her cheek and quickly fell asleep.
Yeah, ok I suck a little bit.
I totally forgot to write.
