Chapter Three
Ash's POV
Mary-Lynette fell asleep while we were coming back. I craddle her to my chest, happy to have her safe and in my arms, as cheesy as that is. I'm glad we got to her in time. From what Jade told me, if we had been even a second later, she would of been dead.
He was going to kill her. That makes me so mad. And scared. I'm not letting her out of my sight. I almost lost her. She stirs a little as I get to the farm and carry her in the house. I carry her to the room I'm supposed to stay in and lay her on the bed. When I start to walk away, she grabs my wrist. I stop.
"Stay Ash. Please," she whispers. I nod and climb in the bed with her, pulling her to my chest. I breathe in her scent and she cuddles against me. She falls back asleep.
"Your okay now," I whisper in her ear. I doze off, not really asleep but not really awake either.
"Ash," Mary-Lynette murmurs, it's almost like a moan. A scared moan. I freeze and open my eyes," Jeremy, NO!" she sits bolt upright. I grab her and craddle her in my arms.
"Shhh," I whisper," It's okay. Your okay," I say rocking her. She cries into my shoulder. A nightmare. A nightmare about Jeremy.
"What happened in your dream, Mare?" I ask, needing to know. She's had this dream more than once, I can tell.
"It was the fight with Jeremy, except, this time... he killed you Ash. You were dead and I was alone," she whispers. I blink in surprise, then I kiss her forehead and hold her closer.
"That won't happen Mare. I'm here and I'm not leaving you again," I say, kissing her. It's a short kiss, full of love and understanding.
"I love you. I didn't get a chance to say that earlier," she whispers, cuddling against me. I smile and hold her close. I have two questions to ask her tomorrow. I hope she agrees.
