The sky was tinged red

People all around me were dying

Their screams filling the air.

Magic was flying past my head and wizards were dropping out of the sky

With each breath, I wondered if it was going to be my last.

I was holding a sword.

I lifted it up and examined it.

It had a wooden, jewelled hilt and a long silver blade with blood running down it.

I wondered why I was using a sword.

Why I wasn't just ripping their heads off.

I figured there must be a good reason, so I swung the sword around and thrust it through the demon that was coming at me.

As I looked around for my next victim someone knocked me down.

I tried to catch my breath as they struck me again.

I gasped at the pain and shock.

I managed to get to my feet, my vision was blurred.

Picking up my sword, I ran after the bastard that hit me.

His head came off as easily as cutting through butter.

The next blow came from behind.

I couldn't move.

I knew that I was going to die.

Die and leave Spencer alone.

I rolled onto my back and looked saw my murderer raise his arms above his head.

His lips were moving like he was chanting some sort of spell.

Maybe he will be kind and just turn me into a frog?

I sucked in a long breath and waited for him to kill me.

I heard Madison cackling in the background as he lowered his hands.

I closed my eyes but never felt the blow.

What the hell!

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around.

I was in a meadow.

The grass was long surrounding me and the sun was shining

There was a horse galloping towards me with someone on its back.

I couldn't make out who it was at first but as it got closer, I knew I was dead or dreaming.

"Spencer, what the hell am I doing here? I was fighting."

"I know," a single tear fell down here cheek, "and you died. I'm sorry baby."

"Then why are you here?"

"They sent my spirit to come and ease you into death. Because you died, the war stopped. Madison realised that she didn't want you to die. So she called off the stupid war."

"So now I'm a dead hero."

"You will be remembered forever because you saved us. You saved me."

"But Spence, I don't want to leave you! We were going to live happily ever after."

"Life isn't a fairytale Ash. It just is." She said so calmly it was un-nerving.

"How can you be so calm? I just died!"

"This is your dream Ash. You choose what happens."

"What! Well I want to wake up!" I ran and she chased me.

"Ash, stop."

"No! I hate this place!"

"Ash, Wake up." It sounded far away. Like someone was shouting from the sky.

But I kept running.

I don't know why I did.

I tripped and banged my head on a stone.

Blood ran down my face as I felt warm hands on my shoulder, shaking me slightly.

"Ashley, wake up. Baby, wake up."

I sat bolt upright in bed, breathing hard.

"Its ok," she pulled me into a hug, "it was just a dream."

"But it was so fucking real" I said softly.

"It's ok." She pulled away "Aiden will be here soon."

"I know. I don't want to go." I pouted

"You don't have to if you don't want to. But you know that you have to."

"I know"

I got up and pulled some pants on.

"I'm going to get something to eat, do you want anything while I am down there?"

"I'll come down with you."

We sat on the couch. She had a bowl of cereal and I had a glass of blood.

We were waiting for the knock.
