Author's note: Goodness, I forgot I had this chapter done=/ Super sorry. Anywho, I'm working on a new chapter. I have to admit my muse left me for a couple different story ideas, but before I start on those, I'll finish this one=D Thanks for all of the reviews and follows, I really really appreciate it.
Rescue
I ran and ran, ignoring the ache in my legs, burning of my lungs, and the sweat soaking my back. I had to get to him.
Soon I reached a clearing, and that's when I saw him. He was knealing down, his head bent down. My heart stammered in fear as I saw the ugly red blisters covering his exposed skin. "No," I whispered, ripping my coat off, ignoring the bitter cold, wrapping it and my body around him, trying to shield him from the rising sun.
'Get away from me' came a medolic voice in my head.
Knowing it was him, I shook my head, "I'm sorry, but I can't. I know it's your choice, but I cannot let you die. What about your lifemate?"
'I do not have one. You are in danger. Go now.' commanded the voice.
I smiled softly at him. "You're used to getting your way I see. And as for the danger, the sun is up, the undead are forced to ground and you don't look so dangerous at the moment. I cannot leave you."
'It is my choice.' he snarled.
"Yes, and saving you is mine." I snorted. "Do not argue with me."
'Leave me here.' he commanded again as I began to try and drag him to a dark cave entrance.
"Not a chance mister." I grunted as I finally succeeded into getting him in the cave. I glanced up and saw that the sun was now high in the sky. "Just in time." I turned around and removed my jacket from his face and my breath caught in my throat as I looked at his handsome features, trying to ignore the menace in his dark eyes.
'You will regret your decision,' came his voice.
"Rest and we'll discuss it later." I replied back as I began taking handfuls of the dark, rich soil underneath him and covering his body. As soon as I had a light cover of soil around him, I realized he had shut down his body and was sound asleep. I couldn't help but run my hands through his raven black hair.
'Keelyn, where are you?' Lucian's compelling voice commanded.
'Sorry I disobeyed Lucian. I just couldn't let him die.' I replied back sleepily, letting him 'see' through my eyes.
'You worried us,' Lucian said softly.
'I know. I just couldn't let him do it.' I said softly as my eyes drifted down.
'As soon as it is safe to do so, Mikhail and Gregori will be there with you. They are the closest ones to you.'
'Okay.' I replied back as I drifted off to sleep.
