  . . . YEARS LATER . .

Ethan continued . . . .

When i wake up, chain is above me. I move away " why? How? Where am i?" i say he puts a hand on my shoulder " easy.....okay.....you're okay. nothing happened it was a dream" could it be? No it wasn't " i see the scar under your eye" i say he smiles sadly and i saw pain in his eyes "no it wasn't quite a dream but i did not betray you" he says i try to sit up but he doesn't let me "what happened after i blacked out or got knocked out" i ask " henry and his mate left and you've slept all the time you have no waking hours over the years" he says " how long ?" i ask " two years" chain says i sit up quickly " two years!?" he nods slowly " why won't you let me get up?" i ask " you have an IV in your arm" i look down and i see red i close my eyes and say " take it out" "but--" he begins to sputter " if you don't i will" i snarl " okay! okay...i will" i can't tell him how i have came to hate them , needles, nor i can not tell him of my childhood. I feel the needle slide out of my skin and i try not to wince at memories he steps back a few feet and i say as i rub my arm " what? Why did you move away?" he moves to sit in the chair that was beside the door , i didn't even see it there, he looks up at me " you had nightmares i think" he says i look away " you know you can tell me right?" he says i nod " my past is the past and i feel like it shouldn't be shared" he nods  " how did you even get the needle in me " i say the word 'needle' slowly as if something bad will happen if i say it like anyone else " i froze your hand " he says with a smile " y-you froze my hand" i say he nods and with a look of confusion i gulp. If he was as smart as he was how come . . . .i shudder at the thought of what could have happened if--- " what are you thinking about?" i shake my head " for another time" i say. He nods and i begin to get up " sleep for a few more hours" he says i shake my head but i know i am losing consciousness, for my eyes are feeling heavy . faintly i hear him say "i am not going anywhere" " okay . . . . and hey . . ." i say falling asleep "what" he says "i . . .like . . you . . . A lot" i say as i fall asleep. My body and eyes was plunged into black before i heard his answer. . . .

. . . . .Henry . . . . .

I moved in with william at this house he had brought near the huge expansion of woods; they go on and on for miles and miles. One could get lost in those woods if one was not careful . . . i hear a noise and i jump and we almost fall over when he hugs me " ahh!" i exclaim " what are you thinking about?" he says in my ear . i knew he had ran to pick up speed to catch me off guard " nothing just how peaceful it is here" i say he nods and says " well come inside i made lunch". I smile for Will was a good cook but lately he's been taking classes and his food has been turning out to be surprisingly better. We head into the house and the first thing i see is a candle light dinner i look at him open mouthed " you are surprised?" he asked hesidently i nod as i move closer to it " a good surprised?" he asks i nod not able to say anything " well i had it made special" he says i smile knowing what he means but i try to say otherwise " it's not my birthday" i say he shakes his head " no ,not your birthday" i smile as we move toward each other " is it your birthday?" he sighs and says " no! You know it is not a birthday! Today is the first day we met!". I smile as i hug him " i knew that my handsome wolf shifter" i say. We ate at midnight that night and it was great and it was special , but i knew something was wrong with Will. i brush hair out of his eyes and say " you seem . . . in thought" i say he sighs and shrugs " it is nothing . . ." he says as he trails off, i can tell he is listening to the woods as i do only after he falls asleep " will?" i whisper he looks over " what are they telling you?" he has a strange look in his eyes as he says " they are quiet . . . i . . . .i. . . . . don't understand" . i pull him closer " please don't go" i say he smiles " i won't and if i do I'll wake you" i nod and i hold him as we lay listening to the woods and the creatures in it. . . . . .

William . . . .

I find myself when it is night by his side and listening to my fellow night beings. I was listening to the strange hush when he wants to know what i am doing. I tell him it was quiet and that i will not leave him without his not knowing. He seems to trust me ,and i trust him, but i have a bad feeling ; I was almost asleep when i feel arms go around my legs and pull me off the bed. I yelped and whimpered as he rolled over; he does not wake up. I turn to my attacker and i see nothing but eyes . . . familiar  eyes . . . no he couldn't . . . i thought he was dead . . . he should be shouldn't he? I heard words in a language i have never heard "sanguinem. . . Venite ad me. . . habere. . . sanguinem. . . .William. . . " but i knew he was talking to me. I try to fight the guy but he was too strong . . . and the last thing i saw was sharp teeth . . . too sharp teeth . . . like ethans. . . . . .
