He saved my life, kinda!

The Hospital

Marcus’ POV

I was just about to walk away when I heard.

“I love you Marcus.”

I felt a tiny spark go through me, lighting up every bit of me. I felt happy and in love. Not like when I was possessed I felt anger. Nothing but anger. It was so dark that I couldn’t control what I was doing. I felt like I wasn’t in control of myself, Lucy was.

My heart broke in two as I heard her say her dying words. I can’t do this. I can’t leave her here to dye by herself. She came here to save me and I repaid her by stabbing her. I’m not doing it. I’m not doing it anymore. I changed into my dragon form and picked her up. She was unconscious and she had a faint heartbeat. No! Don’t die on me. You can’t die on me now. Please.

“Please don’t die on me Paige.” I whispered.

She moved in my arms and the slightest bit of hope went through me. I took off and flew to the camp. Paige’s heartbeat was getting slower and slower. It gave me the encouragement to fly faster than I had before.

I reached the camp just as the sun was rising. Paige was white and cold. I changed to a human and ran over to the medic. He looked scared as I approached him. I immediately knew what for.

“It’s gone, I’m human again just please help her.” I demanded.

He looked down at the now dead looking Paige in my arms. I knew she was alive though because I could still feel her heart. He led me to the operating tent. I looked around at blood splattered walls. The white sheets of the tables where already soaked with blood. I put her down on one and at once she was crowded with medics.

“You have to leave now Marcus. We will tell you when she wakes up.” A woman’s voice came from behind me.

I didn’t argue I just walked out of to let them operate. I didn’t want to waste any more time while Paige life was slipping away. I pushed through the tent doors and stood outside. The cold breeze hit me and I shivered. People walked past me giving me evil glares. I wondered why. All I can remember was hurting some guards. What else did I do?

I couldn’t take the evil glares any more. I moved myself of the wall. I walked over to young looking girl. She looked up from her gun in her hand as I approached her. I was hesitant to get any closer to her, she looked like she was about to kill.

“Excuse me.” I said.

I wasn’t prepared for what happened next. She spit on my shoe and slapped me across my face.

“Shame Marcus, that’s what you should be feeling right now. You killed them guards now you’ve killed our leader. You should be feeling so guilty.” She said.

I opened my mouth in horror. I killed some guards and now Paige is fighting for her life because of me. Why did I stay to help them? Why didn’t I just leave when I had the chance? Paige would be fine living with her sister. She wouldn’t know about me and her sister wouldn’t have turned evil. This is all my fault.

I walked away from the girl. She went back to her gun as I paced in front of the operating tent. What if Paige is dead right now? What if they couldn’t save her and she is lying there dead. No Marcus. Don’t think like that. She’s a strong person. I know I protected her the best I could. If I wouldn’t have become evil I wouldn’t have killed those guards and stabbed her. But I know she’s fine. She has to be. She has to be. She has to be. I kept repeating it in my head trying to make it true. That she’s fine and alive. I didn’t believe it.

I folded my legs to sit on the floor. I have a feeling I will be here for a while. I stared at the dry grass moving in the wind. My heart was thumping on my ribs and I thought it was going to explode. My palms were sweaty and I kept biting my lip. I need someone to tell me she’s ok. Please.

A few hours later

I was watching the sun rise. The colours lit up the sky and I smiled remembering when me and Paige watched the sun rise. I needed her to be here with me. I sighed dropping my head into my hands staring at the ground again.

“Marcus, come in.” A deep voice said.

I got nervous at his tone. I got up of the ground and followed him. He led me to Paige. She was asleep but she was alive. She had tubes coming out of her nose and she looked whiter than the cleanest sheets they had in this place.

“She’s still unconscious, could be for a few days. She’s fine though.” He said then left.

I sat on the wooded chair by her bed. She looked so fragile and it was all my fault. I felt so guilty. A little voice in the back of my head kept telling me that I should get up and leave but I know I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t leave her. I had to give her some explanations.

I looked at her. The Paige I knew was now being replaced by this. I have to do something but what do I do? There has to be something. I mean I’m a bloody dragon so there has got to be things out there that can help her. But what? A little thought popped into my slow working brain. Vampire. Wait I can’t do that can I? If I have someone turn her into a vampire she would be ok. She will be ok for the rest of time. But what about the bad parts of it?

She would have to drink blood!

 I held her hand still wondering about it. If I was dying would she do it for me? She wouldn’t even know about them would she? Yes we have a vampire in our camp but I told her not to tell Paige.She wouldn’t know.

A loud beeping noise came from the side of me. My head turned to see a white TV looking object. The room was soon flooded with nurses and doctors. I got up and one pushed me to the corner.

“No heartbeat, we’re losing her.” one of the doctors said.

That’s it. I’m finding that vampire.

Hey everyone 

Due to my friends request I am putting two more chapters up after this one. She can be very demanding when she wants to be.
