Chapter 7
James looked at him with his own sad grey eyes. "Ash…. Ash she's been turned into a werewolf."
* * * * *
Ash's legs lost the little support they had been giving him. If it weren't for Rowan he would have fallen over. A lot of people were saying things, but he couldn't hear them. Mark and Jade had let go of him arms, but he barely noticed.
Thoughts were racing through his mind. It's your entire fault Ash. You said you could protect her. You even knew she didn't completely want to become vampire that's why you said 'if' not 'when' earlier(A/N you remember in the story about changing her completely into a vampire, first he said if but she corrected him so he said when). Now she is a werewolf and in serious pain. Not to mention Quinn is coming in the next few days and going to get us all killed. And it's all your fault.
Ash zoomed out of his thoughts, someone had called him name, actually maybe someone had been calling his name for a while now. He looked around, everyone was staring at him, and Rowan had all of his weight-almost struggling to do so. His chest hurt, like on fire. He was breathing hard and every breath brought more pain, and his shoulder was tight no longer moveable again.
"Ash?"
Ash didn't look at James, instead he looked down. He controlled his voice best he could, but his throat was tight."Can I see her?''
Kestrel walked in, "In a moment. She is in human form again. Rowan and Jade need to go change her into some clothes, which are on the table. Also take the ropes off; she won't be trying to attack anyone anymore. Oh and wrap up her arm."
"Now what's wrong with her!?" Ash said through clenched teeth. Kestrel replaced Rowan and Jade left with her.
"That's where he bit her." Ash knew his face was going hard and his eyes were turning coal black, but he was also holding back tears like there was no tomorrow.
"At least he didn't bite her in the butt." Kestrel said lazily.
Ash flipped his lid. His eyes turned blood red and he pushed away from Kestrel. "HOW COULD YOU MAKE DARK JOKES LIKE THAT?!" Ash yelled as he fell backwards, he whole body aching. He tried to grab for the counter but just kept going. Right before he hit the ground someone caught him and sat him up.
He slightly turned, it had been Mark, and slightly nodded to him. Mark looked ready to explode also. Ash was about to go off again when Rowan and Jade walked into the kitchen. Rowan shot Kestrel an angry look, who looked bitter(A/N Kestrel has the bitter look, not Rowan, just wanted to clear that up… it might be important, maybe, or maybe it just might make more sense later……….. oh well! Sorry for my rambling! On with the story!!)
"You can see her now Ash." Rowan said quietly.
He softened, somewhat. Ash stood up somehow, through all the pain. Still Rowan had to help him into the living room.
------------------------------
There she was. Her beautiful hair flowing across her shoulders, she was wearing a black tank top with grey sweat short shorts. Her right arm was bandaged with a white, bloodstained cloth. That one bite was going to change her life forever, and it was all his fault.
He collapsed on his knees in front of her. He gentle grabbed her hand, kissed her palm and put it to his cheek."Oh Mary-Lynette………" he whispered getting all choked up, and what was worst was he was so frustrated that he was crying he was crying harder. What the hell, he thought to himself, life has you on top of the world , then when you're not paying attention…….. here comes some girl………. And the world flips over on you and………… BAM!........... you start to cry, like a freaking sissy. But his wasn't just some girl, this was his love, Mary-Lynette he reminded himself.
Ash wiped his eyes and he looked around, Rowan had left the room. He looked back to Mare; he brushed the hair out of her face and put the purple blanket over her. Without letting go of her hand he moved one of the chairs closer. He slowly got up and sat in it.
"You guys can come out now."
They did.
When James came out Ash thanked him for saving his Mary-Lynette. Rowan offered them any of the rooms they liked, they took the offer –they both looked exhausted. Ash could never thank them enough.
He never found out what the other four did, he fell asleep holding Mary-Lynette's hand.
* * * * *
Mary-Lynette woke up to find herself in her sister's living room. Rowan and Kestrel were asleep; Rowan on the chair Kestrel on the floor. Before she turned to keep looking she realized she was holding something. Oh….. it was Ash's hand, she blushed. She took him in, he had on green shorts and his whole mid-section was bandaged up, the white of them illuminating in the dark, he even had stitches in his cheek, and his left arm –there was around 20 stitches going up his arm.
Memories flooded her brain. HE'S ALIVE! "ASH!" she yelled without thinking. He immediately woke up.
"Mary-Lynette your awake………"
"And You're Alive!" She didn't even realize she was crying.
They stared at each other. She wasn't sure who reached first, but she got up and put her other hand on his cheek, the kissed. It was sweet kiss with so much behind it, but then Ash pulled back, he looked worried.
"What's wr……….." that's when a quick pain shot through Mary-Lynette's stomach and she couldn't breathe. As black dots danced across her eyes she fell into Ash.
"Mare? Mare!"
