I swipe Ash's feet from under him and he falls to the ground with a loud thud, "Hey! Be careful with my mate!" I roll my eyes at Tiana's shout then help my brother up. "You're getting better Tommy."
"Ever since Saph accepted me as her mate, I've felt stronger." He pats my shoulder, "You, my dear brother, are feeling the mate bond growing and giving you strength. Remember when I could barely pick up Tia over my shoulder, now watch." He runs over and lifts Tiana up by her waist then sets her on his shoulder, "Easy as pie now." I roll my eyes as he carries a complaining Tiana into the house then I walk in to find my own mate. "Saph! Where are you?! Set your phone off so I know!" I hear loud beeps and I follow it to the sun room where she's laying on the ground, eyes closed. "What are you doing, Saph?"
Relaxing, she mouths. I smile then decide to lay down next to her and I can see her smile grow. "How long have you been in here?" I look over at her and she holds up 2 fingers then mouths the word hours. "That sounds nice. You know what would be really nice though?" She turns her head to look at me but I pull her closer, not liking the distance, "You and me, movie night, with some pizza and candy. How does that sound?" She nods then I slowly kiss her forehead, letting my lips linger there. She sighs then rests her head on my chest, tracing patterns on my torso. "You never told me how the panic attacks started." She sighs then starts typing on her phone, "I want to tell you when I'm able to talk. I don't want you to hear it from a robot."
"Alright, that's fine. I won't pressure you." She smiles then kisses my lips lightly. She pulls back then lays down on my chest again. "Do you think you'll be able to talk one day?" She nods then I hear from her phone, "Doctors have told me that my vocal cords would repair themselves as I got older but every time I try to talk, nothing comes out."
"You'll be okay, baby. I'm not going to leave your side and I'll help you through this." She turns to look at me, smiles widely then kisses the underside of my jaw. She scrunched up her nose then types, "You smell."
"Yeah, I should take a shower. Stay in here while I go and do that." She nods then I get up from the floor, head to my room then jump into the shower.

I walk into the sun room, freshly showered and Saph isn't in the room but the window is shattered, tiny drops of blood on the floor. I growl and run out of the room, down the stairs and into the backyard, shifting while running towards the backyard. I follow Sapphire's scent to a clearing where she is lying on the grass, unconscious. I whimper and shift back to my human form, running over to her. I didn't even know I was thrown back until I hit a tree. I stand back up, ignoring the pain, and try to find my attacker but there is no on around. I step back into the clearing when a woman with pale skin, pitch black eyes and dark brown hair stands in front of me. She hisses at me and I see the fangs; vampire. "My husband will be so pleased knowing I caught the Fusion Prince."
"I hope you realize, lady, that I'm not a Fusion for three more months. You really need to keep your information in check." I step more into the clearing but she stops me by saying, "I wouldn't get close to me unless you want your little mate to die."
"Don't you dare touch her," I tell her through gritted teeth. She smirks, "I haven't had human blood anymore. Maybe she can be my little treat."
"No, you won't hurt her!"
"And why not?" I step forward, "I'm the one you want and if you kill her, you kill me. I don't think your husband will be very pleased with you if you let a Fusion die without getting the blood." She bares her fangs then grabs a now waking Saph by the throat. "Stop! Leave her alone!" The vampire turns her head and smiles, "Alright, I'll just get my little treat from you." She drops Saph then I feel two pricks in my neck and I scream in pain from the venom. She pulls back and smiles, "I don't want to drain you my dear. Have fun dying." She lets me drop and I writhe on the ground, knowing that I won't make it to my 18th birthday, I won't get to marry Sapphire or have kids. "You're going to be alright, Thomas." I don't know who's talking to me but I hear one voice screaming for me before I go unconscious, "Thomas, don't leave me!"
