Nike wandered around as she felt pain sear at the bottom of her foot. She leaned against a rock as she checked her foot. It was bleeding and was muddy.

"Ngh...." She groaned as she saw a river. She jogged to it as she cupped some water in her mouth and took a long sip. She then dipped her foot in the water as she let the cold water hug her cuts in the water, making them feel like no wound was on her. She then heard the trees move behind her and she turned around, terrified. As she turned, she met a face she knew and startled, she fell in the river, water flying in the air.

"Are you okay, Nike?" The man said, extending a hand to help. Nike felt her eyes water as she nodded, smiling through little tears falling.

***In the Vampire Kingdom***

Sane walked into Liam's bedroom, hoping that Liam was cheerful like yesterday. Sane smiled as he threw the door open.

"Good morning Prince-" Sane's loud voice dialed down to nothing. The room had tension and Nike was not in sight in the room. The room was dark and you could hear nothing but angry breathing coming from Liam.

"Nike didn't come back here last night?" Liam asked, voice deep with anger.

"N-No sir." Sane stuttered, feeling terror creep up his back.

"Where did she go?" Liam asked, tension growing stronger.

"I-I don't know-"

"WHERE IS SHE!?" boomed Liam as the glass windows shattered, falling onto the ground. Sane jumped as he squeezed his eyes shut.

Sane gulped as he looked at Liam's eyes. "...Our generals say she left the kingdom and is in a human's arm right now-" Sane flew against the wall as he gasped for air, pulling at Liam's hand that held him up.

"Go gather the generals. We're going to go to war sooner than expected." Liam demanded as Sane slid to the ground, gasping his chest for breath.

***In the  Human Kingdom***

Nike sat on her bed as she drunk warm milk, wrapping herself tighter in a blanket. She glanced up and looked at Abi. He looked like he was doing fine but he had a different aura. 

(The aura is a bit calm and collected)

"Are you alright Nike?" Abi asked. Nike listened to his voice as she ignored what he asked. Abi, hearing nothing, turned to look at her. She had her eyes closed and she was leaning against he bed frame to sleep. Her head going back and forth a bit, nodding as he cup of warm milk slowly falling out her hand. Abi glanced at her as he had noticed her foot. It was pink and swollen. Her shoulder looked a bit bruised and her neck had a hand print sticking tightly on her. Abi's eyes scrunched in anger as he got up and walked over to her.

Nike, feeling a shadow, opened her tired eyes as saw Abi in front of her. Feeling embarrassed, she lurched forward to hide her face, only to bump heads with Abi.

Abi lurched backwards as he held his forehead tightly, groaning. Nike saw Abi falling backwards off the bed as she grabbed his shirt, trying to pull him towards her. Having no luck with no strength, she was yanked with Abi and landed onto the ground with Abi in a thud.

Both, breathing heavily, laughed. Nike, feeling that she was on his chest, got up. Abi yanked her arm back down as Nike froze, confused.

"Let's stay like this for now." Abi said, holding her in an embrace. Nike laid her head on his shoulder and neck, his scent filling her nose. Nike held herself close to him as she got up and laid her head above his heart. Silence filled the air. "N-Nike?" He asked. Nike placed a finger to Abi's mouth and laid it there as she listened to his heart beat. B-thump! B-thump! B-thump! B-thump! Abi's heart was beating and he was fine-

Nike felt chills go  down her spine as she looked at Abi. Abi held her hand tightly as he licked her finger, his saliva on her hand. She tried to pull away but Abi held her tight.

"A-Abi~!" She groaned, feeling weird. Abi pulled themselves up as he heaved them on the bed. He met eyes with her, his eyes looking soft and dreamy to Nike. Abi pulled himself closer to Nike as their lips, like magnets, met one another.
