Blood Is All I Can Remember ~🌸~ 1

- 32 -

Amy held Steve's hand as she watched his chest rise and fall slowly. His eyes were closed, but he was fine.

Danny yawned. It was now 10:30 at night. Boy, did time fly.

"I'm gonna head home." Danny said as he stood up. Everyone else did the same. Except for Amy.

Amy held onto Steve's hand as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

~🌸~

"Hey." Amy felt something nudge her. "Amy, wake up."

Amy slowly opened her eyes and smiled.

"Hey." Amy slowly sat up and squeezed Steve's hand. "How do you feel?"

"Like a million bucks." Steve smiled.

"Of course." Amy chuckled. "I'm glad you're okay. You had me worried."

"Well, I'm okay, and that's what matters." Steve replied.

It had been one month since Steve had been in the hospital. It took a whole month just for him to completely heal. And now, Amy was driving him back home.

Once Amy pulled into the driveway, she parked the car and opened her door. She walked to the back of her car and grabbed Steve's bags. Steve offered to take them from her, but Amy had told him she could handle it.

Once the two got inside, Steve closed the door and smiled at the girl standing in front of him.

Amy set down his bags near the stairs and sighed. "Home sweet home." Amy turned around to face Steve. "Right, Stev—"

Amy was cut off by his lips. Steve kissed her passionately and sighed.

"I missed this." Steve whispered as he placed his lips on Amy's again. The girl smiled.

Steve pushed Amy into the living room but continued to pamper her with sweet kisses. The two fell onto the couch.

"Steve." Amy pulled away from his lips. "We shouldn't be doing this. You need rest."

"How can I rest when I have someone as beautiful as you walking in my house?" Steve smirked.

Amy blushed and leaned towards Steve. She placed a soft kiss on his cheek. Then, Amy grabbed Steve's shirt and lifted it over his head. As Amy continued to kiss him, Steve ran his hands up the back of her shirt. He could practically feel the goosebumps on her skin.

Amy began to run her lips down Steve's jaw. She kissed his neck, his collarbone. Amy then brought her lips back up to Steve's and brushed them against his.

Steve bunched up Amy's shirt into his hands and slipped it off of her body. Amy sighed with happiness against Steve's lips.

Steve pressed the girl closer to his chest. He could feel her skin touch his. The warmth radiating off of the two kept them satisfied.

"Steve." Amy whispered and pulled away. "If Hanks gone, doesn't that mean that Wo Fat is still out there?"

"Hey, don't worry about it." Steve smiled. "Besides, you've got the whole Five-0 task force and me to protect you."

Amy laughed. Then, she leaned down and kissed Steve again.

~🌸~

Amy opened her eyes and gasped. She was back in the factory. Except this time, she was all alone. No Danny in sight.

"Shh!" Hank held a finger to his lips. "Don't want to ruin the surprise."

Amy realized she didn't have the gag around her mouth. So, she tried to call out to Steve. The only thing that came out of her mouth was a wheeze.

"What's the matter?" Hank smiled at the girl. "Can't talk?" Then, Hank began to laugh.

Amy looked down at her hands and saw blood. Her eyes grew wide with fear. Whose blood was that?!

"Oh, that's right, you can't see." Hank pulled a mirror in front of Amy. The color of her skin turned a ghostly white.

It was as if somebody had mistaken Amy's throat for a pumpkin. Her vocal cords had been carved right out of her. Leaving her throat hollow.

Blood poured out of Amy's throat like a waterfall. she could hear it splash onto the cement floor.

"See, you still look absolutely beautiful!" Hank began to laugh again.

"AMYYY!" Steve's voice echoed in her ears. Then, she heard a gunshot.

~🌸~

"Amy." Steve shook the girl. Her chest was rising and falling quickly. Eyes closed tightly. Her hands clutched the sheets. "Amy!"

Amy opened her eyes and felt tears stream down her face. Her hands flew up towards her neck and she sighed. No wetness, blood, or hollowness.

The girl then began to sob.

"Shhh." Steve pulled Amy closer towards his chest. "It was only a dream. You're safe."

As Steve stroked Amy's hair, she began to calm down.

"Better?" Steve asked.

Amy slowly nodded. She then placed her head underneath Steve's chin and moved her body closer towards his. Amy sighed when she was comfortable.

"I'm so glad that we met." Steve whispered. Amy looked up at him.

"Really?"

"Yeah," Steve looked down at the girl. "If we hadn't, I'd probably be chasing after another girl. I'd be this boring person without you."

Amy laughed.

"You're so adorable."

"Am I?" Steve cocked a brow.

"Yes, you are." Amy placed one of her hands on Steve's neck and brought his head down to hers. "And no matter what, I'll always love you." Amy placed her lips on Steve's and sighed.

"I'll always love you too." Steve whispered.
