Finally, I reached her. She was pale and covered in blood.
"Spence, its ok, I'm here baby." I brushed some strands of hair away from her forehead.
"Ash," she breathed, "I'm sorry."
"No, don't be. I'm sorry. This should never have happened." I cried. I feel so helpless.
"I love you Ashley. I would have spent forever with you." She struggled to say. She shivered in my arms, blood still pouring out of her.
"Spence, no, you can't die. I need you." My brain suddenly realised that I could do something.
I'm not a pathetic human!
I am a vampire.
I bit into my wrist and offered it to Spencer.
"Drink my blood Spence. You will start to heal." Fresh blood will help her at least heal enough to stop her bleeding. Or at least that's what I hope it will do.
Her jagged teeth sunk into my arm and I instantly felt the drain. I was tired and hungry.
I ran my fingers through her hair as she sucked harder. There was a crowd gathering around us that I hadn't noticed.
Everyone was asking what happened and I couldn't find enough energy to reply to them. Spencer was sucking me dry and I didn't mind. I would give up my life in a heartbeat for her.
**
"Ash, wake up." I heard a distant whisper and felt something grabbing onto my hand. I heard a sob and slowly opened my eyes.
My vision was blurry but I could make out a blonde head on my stomach and a body that was slumped over me and whatever I was led on. It wasn't comfortable so I'm guessing it wasn't a bed. But I could be wrong.
Slowly, I brought my free hand to rest on my blondes head. Her head shot up as my vision cleared enough that I could see her cloudy eyes and tear stained face.
"You are cute when you cry." I croaked and smiled as she blushed. "What happened?"
She hung her head.
"Well, I almost took every single drop of your blood Ash. You blacked out and the only reason I stopped was because Madison came at us."
"But I killed her."
"Well, obviously not enough."
"I staked her and broke that bitch's neck!"
"Well, I don't know what happened baby, but she attacked us before I killed you. That, I was thankful for. But you sucked her dry. Don't you remember?"
"I just remember feeling my life slipping away and being totally ok with it."
"You were fine with me killing you?" she raised an eyebrow.
"I was fine with dying for you. So that you could live."
I sat up to kiss her, but she pushed me back down.
"You need to rest Ash. You aren't very strong." She kissed my nose.
"But I feel fine!"
"I will go and get the Sherman and he can talk to you."
I sighed. I hate being told what to do.
--
The Sherman told me that I was allowed out of bed for 15 minutes every two hours which totally blows, and he said that there is no way that I can make the jump from down here to home.
Yet.
Spencer and I walked to the Oasis part of the underworld.
It's just a part of the caves where a hole has been made in the roof and some how trees have managed to grow in it and there is a fresh water pond there and everything.
"What do we do next Ash?" she asked as we sat on some rocks, her eyes connecting with mine and trying to read everything I was feeling. I never understood how people can read eyes, until I met Spencer. All her emotions were there, just begging to be read.
"I don't know Spence. We need to bury Aiden."
"We couldn't get back up there before the sun came up Ash. He is a pile of Ash in that field."
"Oh. That blows."
"I'm sorry Ash. I know you two were more than friends once." She put her had over mine and rubbed her thumb over my knuckles. I sighed. I haven't cared for aiden in a long time. Of course I was sad he is dead. He was the only thing that was left from my human life. Well, except for Kyla.
"So uh, what do you want to do now Spence? Up there is going to be so much different now that you are a vampire."
"I will do what ever you want to do."
"I think that we should make sure that there is order down here before we even think about going home." She nodded and smiled. "and then we shall see what happens. We still have to get married." I said as I played with the silver band that was on her finger.
"You know you make a great queen Ash. I don't think you should give it up."
"I don't want the responsibility. All I want is to look after you and our family, if we have a family." I chewed on my bottom lip. Children weren't something that I was in any rush to have. Spencer wants kids. I'm not sure when, but she wants them.
"Well maybe you could rule down here from up there and just appoint someone to be like, your deputy?"
"Maybe." I sighed. Spencer stood up and offered me her hand.
"We had better get you back to bed. You look tired."
"Spence," I warned and took her hand.
"Shut up. You know you love me telling you what to do." She kissed me and pulled me back to our room.
