The Impression That I Get

Chapter 25

CHAPTER 25

You know that place between asleep and awake? Well that's exactly where I was. I would be in a world so dark that I couldn't see my out reached hand, but it wasn't all bad in this dark little world. I knew I was by myself and I liked that idea, a place where no one could hurt me. Then I would be jolted to a world full of loud noises, bright lights, blurry images and nausea that just wouldn't leave me alone. 

Although it would have been nice to have stayed in that dark place, I can’t be selfish. If there is a chance to survive I have to at least try. Pushing myself out of my peaceful dark surroundings and through to the world of the living, I woke up with a new kind of energy.

I could see clearly now and the once nice clearing I had run into looking for help had turned into a battlefield, I could see something blurry running around the clearing never staying in one spot for too long, and one wolf lying on its side about 50 meters away whilst another fought to try and keep up with who I could only guess was Vincent rushing around. I pushed myself up properly and felt my world spin around over and over again and instantly fell to my knees. Just by looking at the wolf that was still fighting I could tell it was Jason, I had only seen his wolf twice and briefly, but I just had this unexplainable feeling it was him.

My eyes returned to the other figure lying on the ground. I began crawling on my hands and knees over to the wolf that was sprawled out on the ground with a nasty gash across its ribs and more on both of its hinds legs. I could tell it needed help fast, but what the hell could I do?! As my senses began to come flowing back, I crawled closer to the top of the wolf and placed my head against its chest to see if it still had a heartbeat. My ear was being tickled by its long bushy fur, but there it was; the heart beat I was looking for. I looked around to see if there was something I could use to stop the bleeding on its ribs, but my attention was caught when I heard a piercing howl slice through the air. I snapped my neck to see where Jason and Vincent were last fighting but I could no longer see them and it worried me. "I'll be right back," I whispered to the unconscious wolf.

I went running in the direction I last saw them fighting and found a trail of broken branches and bushes that had been up-rooted from the ground. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Jason not in his wolf form anymore but naked laying across the ground not moving. I felt tears sting my eyes and I immediately ran to him, I skidded down my knees grazing the majority of the skin that were on the sharp rocks. I lifted his head and cradled it in my arms; he looked like he was just asleep but the bruises and cuts on his body told a different story. "Jason, baby wake up, it's Sarah I'm right here," I began blabbering like a baby when he didn't respond; he didn't move not even a little.

"Poor little pup, tried to take on more than he could handle and now look where it’s gotten him, tsk tsk, what a shame…" Vincent's cold voice said from behind me. I looked up at him with my bloodshot eyes with such hate but he didn't seem to notice.

He knelt down and put his cold death hands on my shoulders and shook his head. "Well my love I think I should finish up here," Gesturing his hand over Jason's body "And then we can continue where I left off." 

He lowered his body, trying to swivel mine around to face him. He tried to kiss my lips but I moved my head to the side before he could reach. "If you think I am going to let you touch a hair on my mate’s body…" I paused as I gently placed Jason's head on the ground and standing up "Then you have another thing coming!" I yelled. I quickly tried to kick Vincent in the face as he was still kneeling on the ground. But me being a mere

human I was too slow for his fast vampire reflexes. He grabbed my ankle and threw me in to the closest tree. I winced at the impact, my eyes were blurred but I could still see Vincent making his way over.  He had picked Jason up by his throat and was dragging him over to where I was slumped. "So you're saying you love this disgusting mutt over me?! What happened to not accepting him?" He yelled at me, his eyes wide with violent rage.
"I never said I didn't accept him and he isn't disgusting," I leant myself against the tree and slowly pushed myself up as I said every word with emphasis.
"He is the most beautiful, caring and loyal man I have ever met and I would rather die than ever be with you!" Vincent begun to growl ferociously his grip on Jason tightened. I scowled at him, not knowing what else to do. "How about I kill your mate right here in front of you, hmm? Then you would only have me!" He smirked a menacing smile. 

Vincent turned his attention to Jason, lifting his lifeless body off the ground and into the air. He raised his other hand, aimed with long sharp nails protruding from his sickly pale hands. They were aimed at his throat. Before Vincent could act on his threat Jason suddenly burst wife awake, seizing Vincent’s arm with both palms- nails digging into his already dead flesh. Vincent wailed, and started to throw Jason around like a rag doll, to no avail. In one quick swipe, Jason’s fingers fixed on Vincent’s arms severed the muscles, bone- everything, removing his whole arm from his body. Vincent's arm came clean off, releasing Jason from his hold.

Thick black ooze was pouring out of Vincent's elbow where the rest of his arm should have been, he dropped to the ground and howled in pain. Jason ran over to me and held me tightly, he pulled back a little to look at me and smiled. He pushed the matted hair away from my face before saying; "Sarah, you're okay?"  "Yes, yes I'm fine. Are you okay?" "I'm fine, but what I need you to do right now is run back over to Lucas. I'm sure the rest of the pack is not too far away." "That was Lucas? Jason he's really badly beaten up, I don't know what to do…" Oh god I forgot all about that wolf and as it turns out that was my own brother!? I feel terrible.

"Sarah he will be fine, he heals faster than the average human. Look I need to dispose of this garbage and I don't want you to see it" I nodded understanding. 

He turned around and casually strolled over to Vincent’s body heaped on the ground.  He firmly stomped his foot over Vincent's neck so he couldn't move without Jason breaking his neck in the process. I proceeded to run over towards where I left Lucas. I didn't make it very far when I heard someone yelling.
"IF I CAN'T HAVE HER NO ONE CAN!" I turned around to see Vincent’s grotesque face hurtling towards me, tackling me to the ground with in an instant. I closed my eyes, wishing it wasn’t real then I felt it.  There was this strange feeling in the middle of my stomach, a numb slow burn that came with his attack.

I opened my eyes to see Vincent smiling as he whispered; "I'll see you in the afterlife!" Within an instant, he was gone. Jason was there instead, with Vincent reeling in his grasp. In one swift movement, Jason held him by the neck in the air and raised his arm in line with it. Without hesitation, Jason drew his arm straight through the Vampires neck, ripping Vincent’s head from his body. The limp form in Jason’s hand writhed for a few seconds before it stopped and was thrown to the ground. 

Finally the nightmare was over. I sighed in relief and looked down to assess the damage he made in this whole debacle to find what was giving me this weird feeling. A large stick hung from my stomach, protruding through my soaked shirt. Blood pooled around the wound, down my body and stained the grass around me. I groaned as I moved and I could feel my body starting to feel the effects of everything. I had already lost so much blood from before and I think this was my breaking point.  Jason turned around to see me lying on the ground and immediately came running over.

 I felt him cradle my body into his lap. "Oh god Sarah, stay with me baby. You can’t leave me; I only just got you back…" Jason pleaded to me, I wanted to stay strong but I already felt so weak.
"Jason I-I lov- love, I love you," I managed get out.
"I love you too Sarah, but don't think this will be the last time we say it! We're gonna get you better okay? And I swear I will say it every day!" I could feel Jason's tears as they hit my cheeks.
"I, I accept you as my-- mate Jason" I closed my eyes unwillingly and I could hear the soft murmurs of my name as I passed out. The last thing I felt was a deep pain on my shoulder before I drifted away.
