(Dray's Pov.)
I felt immeasurably ill, I hoped to get back to the place I call home before something happened.
"Dray?" Danielle's small sweet voice questioned me cautiously. Her hand grabbed my arm. She didn't flinch when all she could feel was a wetness. I knew I looked pale, probably red as well. I was heating, very, very hot. My body was losing control.
"Dray!" Danielle screamed as I fell forward. She tried to catch me, but she could only hold me up so long before falling to the ground with me. I whithered in agony, it hurt, a lot, not the fall, but the heating. I was losing water, heat vapourising it.
Danielle scrambled forward, turning me over, ignoring the steamy water that followed with her touch.
"Dray, what's happening?" She asked calmly. I knew she was working it out. I didn't try to stop her.
"Danielle." I gasped. "It hurts."
"What hurts? Dray, please talk to me. My home is two houses down, can you get there?" Danielle cried. She buried her head into my chest before looking up with tear struck cheeks to see if I was answering.
"You can't do anything." I spat as more water poured from me.
"I'll figure something, you can't stay here, ju-just get into my house, please, we'll work from there, please." She was begging me. With her help I got to my feet.
She started as quickly as she and I could to get to her home. I seemed to be sinking, my mind was going blank, I wouldn't last longer.
(Danielle pov)
I stumbled and screamed as Dray's wait fell. I was almost there, I figured out what he was, he hadn't hurt me, and I wasn't planning on letting my best friend melt to death.
A plan formed in my mind, and Dray fell. I didn't catch him this time, instead I raced to my bathroom in my home. The one in my room. Mother and father didn't live with me, I was seventeen, I was legal enough to live by myself.
I turned on the cold water tap, it ran fast, my bath was pretty large, so it had to run fast, it would fill within a minute. I ran back out to the hall and pulled Dray up, My best friend was melting! I took a firm grip on his waist and pulled him along me. We made it to the bathroom and the bath was already over flowing, I let it run and wreck the carpet outside the door. It wouldn't be too bad because I closed the door behind me anyway. I pushed Dray carefully into the water, but he fell; it didn't seem hard, and it wasn't like he hit the bottom of the tub.
He was completely under, covered completely by water. I fell to my knees on the tiled floor and sobbed, hands clutched onto the edge of the tub. My legs eventually, after quite awhile, became covered in water. Sitting down, I was hip deep in water. I rested my head on the tubs edge, ignoring and liking the feeling of the warm water on my skin, the water was warm even though I had only put on the cold.
"Don't you dare leave me Dray." I whispered. My eyes closed and I slept alongside my best friend, even if he was kind of part of the water. Dray wouldn't let me drown, I knew that, and as a water being, I knew he'd control the water if it surfaced too much. After awhile, the water became warmer, much warmer, like a blanket covering me on a cold night.
My eyes flickered for a little before closing into its sleep.
A hand stroked my face, "It's not safe to sleep in water, you know?" Dray's voice whispered.
"Mhmm," I mumbled, my eyes still closed. "but it's you." I sighed.
The water around me disappeared, and even though it was gone, I was still warm. Dray picked me up and carried me out of the bathroom.
I raised my hand to his cheek and opened my eyes.
"Don't scare me like that again, Dray." I ordered. Dray looked into my eyes, finding my meaning.
"It was never my intention to ever scare you, I got sick." He mumbled. I knew truth was all his words, but still, he had scare the crap out of me. I tugged on his arm and he let me down. My stomach growled and I sighed. I rubbed my eyes, my face still seemed to be wet, by my own tears or Dray, I didn't know.
"I'm hungry."
