+ savior +

| angst with a fluffy ending :,) |

summary: you and the gang are trying to fight off a giant, animalistic creature. unfortunately it caught you alone and decided to test your mortality. rory comes to the rescue but maybe a little too late...?

warnings: being attacked, blood, biting
------------------------

     the moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the quiet streets of Whitechapel, painting the scene with an ethereal ambiance that belied the danger lurking in the shadows. you and the gang patrolled the night, your senses on high alert, ever vigilant against the malevolent forces that threatened the peace of your town. tonight, however, the darkness seemed to hold an ominous weight, a hint to the tone of the trials to come. the air crackled with tension as you traversed the dimly lit alleyways, each step echoing with the urgency of your mission.

     a sudden rustle shattered the stillness, followed by a low growl that sent shivers down your spine. before you could react, a monstrous creature lunged from the shadows, its snarling visage illuminated by the moonlight, its claws gleaming with deadly intent. instinct kicked in as you, Benny, Ethan, Rory and Sarah sprang into action, weapons drawn and hearts pounding with adrenaline. the creature was formidable, its strength and ferocity unmatched, but you fought with unwavering determination, a fierce resolve burning in your eyes as you faced the beast head-on.

     amidst the chaos of battle, you found yourself locked in a deadly dance with the creature, each blow exchanged with a ferocity born of desperation. your heart raced as you dodged its relentless attacks, your movements fueled by a primal instinct to survive at any cost.

     but then, a searing pain lanced through your body as the creature's claws found their mark, tearing through your defenses with brutal force.

     you staggered back, clutching your side as blood seeped through your fingers, the agony threatening to overwhelm you. "Y/N!" you could hear Rory scream your name. twice? you think so, although you couldn't focus because your legs had buckled underneath you.

     Sarah watched as you fell and also how quickly Rory rushed over to your side, so she quickly took matters into her own hands, making it her mission to get that thing away from you. luring it away with the help of Benny and Ethan, they had gone off the the opposite direction. Soon, it was just Rory and you. Rory was quick to drop to his knees by you, picking up your upper body to rest against him.

     "stay with me!" Rory's voice cut through the haze of pain, his eyes wide with fear as he rushed to your side, his hands trembling as he assessed your injuries. "you're gonna be okay, alright? just hold on!" you forced a weak smile, the effort causing fresh waves of pain to wash over you. "i'll try," you murmured, your voice barely a whisper as you fought to stay conscious.

     but deep down, you knew the truth, knew that your injuries were grave, perhaps even fatal. as darkness closed in around you, you reached out to Rory, the weight of your words heavy with unspoken emotion.

     "Rory," you whispered, tears pricking at the corners of your eyes. "i'm...not gonna make it, am I?"

     tears welled in Rory's eyes as he knelt beside you, his heart breaking at the sight of you in pain. "No, no, you can't say that," he choked out, his voice thick with emotion. "You're gonna be okay, I promise." but you both knew the truth, knew that your time was running out. and as you looked into Rory's tear-filled eyes, you knew that there was only one other option besides an untimely death.

     "Rory, you have to do it," you whispered, your voice barely a whisper as you clung to consciousness. you lifted your right hand slowly, to hold his cheek,
"you have to turn me."

     Rory's breath caught in his throat at your words, the weight of your request hitting him like a sledgehammer. "but... but you- you're okay with that? you ca-an't go back after it's done." he stammered obviously distraught and torn at the idea, his hands shaking with disbelief as tears began falling from his eyes.

    you nodded, tears streaming down your cheeks as well, the pain of your injury exceding beyond your own comprehention but the realization that you would be leaving Rory hurt just as much.

     "i know," you whispered. Your breath was falling short, "but I'd rather spend eternity by your side than lose you forever."

     with a trembling hand, Rory gently placed his hands of the sides of your jaw, tilting your head carefully and then leaned in close to your neck, his breath warm against your already paler, colder skin.

     "i love you," he whispered, his voice breaking with emotion.

     and as his fangs pierced your skin, you let out a quiet but pained groan and after only a few seconds the pain was gone and instead replaced with something you had never left before. darkness slowly enveloped you, but this time, it was a darkness tinged with hope for a better fate, one where Rory would be at your side.

---------------------

     moments later you opened your eyes, finding yourself cradled in Rory's arms, head resting on his lap. your eyes met his gaze, filled with love and devotion. "feeling better?" he smiled softly, tear streaks still shined visibly in the moonlight. so you began to cry again, overwhemled with so much graditude and love for the boy that was looking down into your eyes, innocently.

     "Y/N- what's wrong? are you still hurting? i thought i helped you! i'm so- so sorry!" he held your head in his hands gently, and pulled you against his chest. you sat up immediately, wanting to put a stop to his worries asap. you wrapped your arms around his neck, burying your face into his neck. "i'm all better now." you mumbled next to his ear, relaxing into him, "you saved me, Rory." and you pulled him even closer. "i love you so much." you spoke out softly again, but tears were falling at a much faster pace this time.

    Rory closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around your waist, never wanting to let you go again. he almost lost you so he swore to himself that there would never be another close call. even if, you were immortal now, that wouldn't stop the vampire ninja from doing whatever it takes to protect you. because when the darkness tries to take over, your love for eachother will always be a guiding light.
