Ash POV

I lifted her from the ground, and hug her cold body to my chest. Think, where do I take her? I couldn't take her to a human hospital without raising any questions. There aren't any supernatural hospitals, there just isn't enough of us. Her stomach is still bleeding. I pull off my shirt with one hand and tie it tightly around her stomach attempting to staunch the heavy flow of crimson. She was covered in it, I cant tell if its all from the one wound or if she has more than one. Wait, Trina! She has to have something to help her, or at least there should be something in the books she can find.

I start running. I have to hurry. I can hear the faint beating of her heart slowing and not filling between beats. Faster, I need to get her to Trina. I cross back into the woods pushing faster and faster until I reach the yard. I kick the cellar door in and call Trina to see where she is. She answers and I dont give her a second to speak.

"Trina, get here now its an energency, please hurry."

"Whats wrong? What happened?"

"Its Jade, she was in an accident that mixed with some other stuff triggered the change, but shes hurt Trina, its bad theres alot of blood."

She hangs up immediately and arrives within twenty minutes.

I knew she was suffering. I knew her body would most likely rejecting the change, she had lost so much blood, but I couldn't just accept that she was going to die. I couldn't stand to loose her again not like this, I couldn't take it. The fact is, I think I love her, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell her, or ever recover if I loose her.

Trina was covered in blood, from attempting to fix Jades wounds and keep her comfortable as much as possible through the change.

"Ash, I don't think her body isn't strong enough to handle the transition right now... She's lost so much blood..."

"No, don't tell me that. She has to live, she has to change back, I can't imagine living without her. I carried her all the way back here to you so that you could help her, now please Trina there has to be something you can do for her."

"I've done everything I can, the blood transfusion isnt working, shes bleeding out faster that I can get it into her, theres nothing I can do without full equipment, and even then im not sure I'd be able to fix her, human bodies are extremely fragile Ash, you know this. Theres only about a five or six percent chance fully grown healthy adult would survive the change, if she makes it through it'd be a miracle."

I dont answer Trina back, I know the way this works, but shes a fighter, she has to come back from this, she had to. I clence my hands into a fist and rest my head on the edge of the bed her fragile bleeding body lies on. I block out the smell of coppery blood in the air, the sound of the ever slowing beeps of a heart monitor, the drip of the IV bags. I drift back to the last good conversation we had, no stress no pain no worries.

I think of her smile, her laugh. I remember it perfectly. What she was wearing, what we were doing, how badly I just wanted to kiss her. And when I finally did, I can remember the feel of her lips on mine, the taste of her, sweet like berries. The slight scent of roses that always seems to hang around her, even now I could smell it, it drove me crazy that day and still does now.

Trina puts a hand on my shoulder saying,

"All I can do now is clean her up and try to make her as comfortable as possible until this is over with."

I nod and get up walking somberly out of the room. I dont know what to do anymore. This is all Sasha's fault, if she had just kept her damn mouth shut for once. I would have told her soon, in a way she would understand, but now its too late. A sudden wave of anger drags me down and my inner wolf howls in anticipation. Sasha, this is her fault, I need to find her, now.
