It was set ,we would be heading to the Amazon in two days. When I say we , I mean them. Mason's refusing to let me go no matter how much I plead. He's gone to sort some stuff out for the trip so I'm being babysat at my house by Lily and Andrew. We're currently half way through a re-run of Malcolm in the middle (I love that show) when Savannah unexpectedly bursts in.

"EM I haven't seen you in forever oh-"she stands staring at Andrew in shock before turning to an expression of awe. I repeatedly turn my head between the two noticing that Andrew wore a similar expression. Wait ... It can't be. Lily lets out a startled cry and runs out the room. I give Andrew a pitiful look as I run after her.

I find lily sat on my balcony gazing out at the sea. I pull her into a hug and let her cry it out on my shoulder. "Feeling better now?" I ask as her tears begin to subside.

"Yeah thanks ... I know she's your friend and everything so you didn't have to come console this idiot."

"You're my friend too remember ? Plus your not an idiot at all."

"I really thought that we'd be together forever as corny as it sounds. Blood mates are so rare , yet now all of a sudden everybody's finding theirs,"she sniffs.

"Maybe that means you'll find yours."

"Maybe." She stands up then opens up her delicate black wings before turning to me," Tell Andrew I'm not mad at him ...that I just need some time. I'm sorry for abandoning you Em but it will hurt too much to see him with her. We've been friends for centuries and together for years."

"I understand," and with that she disappears over the railing.

I go back downstairs to find every body's back and a pale looking Savannah. I go up and kiss Mason's check before settling next to Savannah.

"Em ... They say they're Angels ? That's  crazy right ? Is this a cult?" She stutters.

"I'm afraid not." I hint at Andrew to unfold his wings and he does earning a gasp from Savannah. We then have to sit through her thousands of questions before I sneak away with Mason to my room. We're laid on my bed , legs and arms entwined , when I decide to broach a subject playing on my mind.

"Mason?"

"Yes mea amore ."

"I want to complete the bond and be one of you."

"You don't have to just because you're scared."

"I'm not, I'm a tiger remember. Look I want to protect you too and be your equal. I don't want to be separated from you for weeks. Just the thought of it pains me." Mason grimaces at the reminder staying silent for a few minutes.

"Okay."

"Okay?" I squeal in joy.

He sits up and lifts me on his lap straddling him before kissing me. "Give me your wrist," he states pulling out the blade from his boot.

"Now?"

"We're on a time limit before we leave and I'd have to teach you to fly ... If you want to do this then yes now." Without speaking I hand him my wrist. He pulls a red ribbon of my cushion and ties our wrists together. Then places a small cut in his palm. He repeats the same to me and I can't help but wince as the blade tears at my skin. He puts the knife down and begins to chant.

"Angel of my blood ,
Blessed thy be,
Come forth.
Righteous eternal love ,
Shall bring to thee,
Forever and ever.
Together we'll be,
Blood of me ,
Blood of you.
Joined together ,
Eternally."

Then we join hands our blood fusing together. I'm hit with a feeling of blissful joy and my sight becomes blurred . Everything's white. I feel Mason's lips touch mine and I get lost in them feeling ecstasy run through my veins. Our hearts beat in time together as I feel us become one. I see myself through his eyes - the adoration and love he feels for me shocks me. Even in my tiger onesie he sees me as beautiful. Then the whiteness disappears.
