Hey y'all!! I know it took a while, but I got a little stuck halfway through, but that is okay!! I got it!!! Anyway!! Here y'all go!!

I felt an overwhelming sadness grip at my heart as I looked up into his beautiful, sad, teary eyes. The light seemed to have gone completely out of the already dark blue orbs as he searched everything in my face for any signs of anything. He looked at me as if he was trying to memorize everything about me as a tear slid down the side of my face. We said nothing as he wiped the tear away, just started at each other, wishing, desperately, nothing more than to never have to let go, but we knew...

We knew that as soon as he let go of me and walked away, our lives would be nothing but hell and I would hate him each passing day for leaving me here and now, in this moment.

"I-I'll die." I sobbed and buried my face in his chest. His arms tightened around me and he kissed the top of my head.

"Me too." H breathed and I looked up at him once more, in a desperate attempt to change his mind.

"Then don't-"

"I have no choice Sammie." I clung to him tighter and shook my head. Why did he have to do this to me? To me! Why did our lives have to be so damn complicated?

"Why?" I cried aloud.

"Sammie-"

"Why!" I punched his chest in anger before my legs gave out and we fell to our knees, still holding each other. "Why? Why? WHY!" with each time that I said it, I hit him again and he took my hand. "Please don't..." I breathed. "Please..." I clung to him so tightly, so desperately, as if he was my life line, as I sobbed...

...................

I sat up gasping and screaming as tears stung my eyes and sweat ran down my face, arms and neck. Someone grabbed my shoulders as something ran from my nose and I jumped and tried to get away. An aching started to build in my chest as I started to struggle, only to realize that the person who grabbed my shoulders, had glowing blue eyes. I breathed shakily and looked away.

"Sammie." Deric murmured and took my face in his hands as Sebastian ran over to us.

"Sebastian." Deric turned to him as the ache got worse. I drew my knees to my chest and he quickly turned back to me as I breathed out a hard breath and wrapped my arms around my waist. I buried my face in my knees and felt the wetness seep through my jeans. It was starting to get hard to breathe and I gasped in a breath. "Get me a rag and the cream, now." Deric ordered as he made me lean back. I cried in protest, but he gave me no room for discussion. "Sam, stop." He said. "You'll only make the pain worse. Listen to me." I was still fighting him. "Listen to me Sam!" he grabbed my face in his hands and forced me to look at him. "The Euphoric is still in your system. You still need to keep as calm as you can. I know that it hurts, and I will put the cream on the bite, but I need you to lay back, please." I whimpered. "I know Baby. I know it hurts." He lay me back on the bed and held me down until it didn't hurt as bad and I was able to lay still...

For the most part anyway.

Sebastian came back over and sat down at my other side. Deric took the stuff from my brother and opened the jar of herbal smelling cream.

He dipped his fingers into the brown-green cream and made me turn my head so that he could put it on my wound. The pain in my chest seemed to start moving toward the wound in my neck, as if it was drawing out the "poisons".

"Hand me something to wipe this up." He murmured as I closed my eyes and clenched my jaw. I gasped and grabbed Deric's wrist as he wiped up something that ran down the side of my neck and he told me that it would be okay in a soft voice. "There we go. Now..." he placed his hand on my cheek and then ran his thumb under my nose. He drew it back and I saw the blood. I swallowed hard as he looked at it and then at me. He wiped the blood on the rag that he held against my neck and then moved it under my nose. I closed my eyes as he dabbed at my nose softly. "Right now, you need to remain calm, or as calm as you can, because the Euphoric is still in you. Ortho was able to draw out much of it out of your blood, but there was so much and it was so close to your heart, that it was nearly impossible to get as much as he did without hurting himself. The cream is to help draw out the rest of the 'poisons'."
