Death And Love {Book 1}

Chapter 16

Jason's POV

Last night we stayed at my mum's house, it was too late in the night to go back to Ava's. I was going to sleep on the couch and let Ava sleep in my bed but she wanted me to be with her so we both slept on my bed. Soft snores came from her as she slept and i can only imagine what she was dreaming of. Sometimes she would smile in her sleep as if looking back on a picture and wishing you could hit replay. Maybe she was dreaming of her father. I wished that i hadn't closed my eyes, nightmares ate at my mind and peace warding away the sleep i had so wanted. "We will take her away from you and there is nothing you can do about it, pup." The voice said. It sounded raspy from the dream and was horrifyingly familiar to me even in dream form. "Her real name is Avalon Moon, she will be the center of your and your packs destruction. I am not telling you when or where but you will be eliminated. Sweet dreams pup, a vampire has no place in your home." The voice laughed but it sounded like nails scratching my eardrums. It hurt. The voice and my dreams disappeared and i was left to suffer with my thoughts alone.

Ava's POV

Jason was shaking beside me in his sleep, mouth moving, words incoherent. "Jason wake up, your having a nightmare." My hand was wrapped around his arm trying to shake him awake but he stayed still, eyes closed tight. "You can no ha er." Jason mumbled, his face was twitching in a painful way so i knew that whatever was going on in his head right now, i don't like it. The words Jason said though i could translate to be 'You can not have her.' Considering the reason we are in this mess in the first place is because of me, I'm pretty sure Jason was talking about me right now. Stepping lightly out of the bed i make my way over to the bathroom and come out with a large cup of water, actually it was more like a bucket, but oh well. "1...2...3...4...5... sorry Jason." SPLASH! Freezing cold water sprung onto Jason soaking his clothes to darker colours, some splashing onto me. I yelp at the coolness on my skin but stay still. This was scaring me really bad now, Jason didn't move, not even an inch. "Mrs. Valentino!" I threw the bucket on the ground and ran straight to Jason's mum's room. What is going on?!? The bedroom door was locked. My fists banging against the door in an attempt to wake her up was the only thing i could hear along with my thoughts flooding through. Mrs. Valentino opened the door looking sleepy and worried. "Whats wrong dear?" I wrapped my arms around her and she immediately did the same, tears fell freely from my eyes as i sobbed loudly on her shoulders. "I cant wake him up. He wont wake up. He was ha-having a nightmare and then i tried to wake him, he didn't move." "Don't worry dear, Jason has always been a hard sleeper, its okay." She lied, i could tell just by the way she was poorly holding in her worry.

 Despite Mrs. Velentino's words i ran back into Jason's room, Mrs. Valentino following me right behind. When her eyes landed on her baby boy, they sunk in and she ran over to him and slapped him upside the head, hard. No movement. "Oh my..." She didn't finish. Never did. Jason's blond hair curled up over his beautiful closed green eyes. "Maybe you should go home, get some rest. I can watch Jason for you." She whispered leaning down to press her lips on Jason's cheek. If that had been anyone else besides his mother then they would have already went down.

I stood in the doorway unmoving, my eyes scanning my surroundings. Im not leaving either of them. Not for rest, not to feed, not for anything. This seems really strange how Jason cant wake up from his nightmare, about me, when we are about to go into war. This happened on purpose. "Okay." Mrs. Valentino muttered seeing as i didnt move.

Me and Mrs. Valentino sat in Jason's room watching over him for over an hour, he just layed there. Every few minutes though he would shift in the bed saying things that didnt make any sense. The silence was killing me and i knew that if he didnt wake up soon that i was going to go insane. Jason's mum looked to be in the same position i was in. We were both sitting on opposite ends of his bed. I was at the head, while his mum was at the end. He looked so innocent, so scared, i dont know what to do. "Jason, if you can hear me babe, you have to wake up, for me and your mum." No response, it wasnt like i expected Jason to just jump up out of the bed smiling. "Dear, wont you go downstairs and make us some coffee. It will probably help with the nerves." His mum said. I looked away from Jason's sleeping form and smiled at her kindly. She really is a sweet woman. Nodding i go down the stairs and head straight for the kitchen. Coffee probably will help me. 'Ava? Where are you?' My mum asked me through the mind link. I smiled slightly. 'Im at Jason's house, mum.' I thought as i grabbed two coffee cups from the cabinet above me. My hands were shaking violently and my breaths were airy. 'He hasnt woken up yet. Its been a few days since you two first knew you were mates, by now you two can talk to each other using the mind link you share.' So there is a mate mind link too? That may work. I started up the coffee maker and sat down at the  table with my head between my hands. This has to work. 'Jason can you hear me?' I thought. The coffee maker dingged loudly making me jump from the table. It must not have been long enough yet. The cups were filled with coffee and were extremely hot with steam floating lightly across the top. I already wanted to taste the drink. I should make a third cup for if Jason wakes up today. He'll wake up.

With all three cups craddled in my arms i begin to walk up the stairs ingoring how the cups burned at my skin. 'Avalon?' All three cups fell out of my hands and rolled down the stairs. The other thoughts that once plagued my mind left without a second hint. I raced up the stairs and ran straight into Jason's open arms.
