Without even thinking twice he jumped of the bed and ran downstairs. "Aiden! Wait!" but it was too late. I could hear growls and flesh tearing apart. Then the window shattered, covering me in glass. I thought it was a werewolf. But no, it wasn't. It was a human, at least that's what I thought until it came at me with he speed of light. And now vampires too. The vampire grabbed my hands and hold them over my head. He laughed as I struggled beneath his harsh touch. When I looked at his face, I froze. No way, it cant be him. Nononononono!!!! NO! "AAAAIIIIDEEEEEN" I screamed out, the next moment the known vampire bit me. I continued screaming in pain and struggling against him but it wasn't worth it. I couldn't even budge him. Tears started to drop down my face as I started to lose consciousness. The last thing I remembered was a harsh movement with my body. "Ai..den" I gave out the last word before darkness consumed me.
"Lucia...." a faint voice came from the darkness. " Wake up. Your time has not come yet. There is still so much you need and have to do." and it came again and again. "Who are you, where am I? What happened? WHERE IS AIDEN? " I asked, frantically looked around, trying to look for that voice hoping it would give me the answers. Nothing, just silence. "Please, tell me, where is Aiden and the rest, please I need to know if they are safe." my tears has been running down my cheeks like two rivers. My heart was full of pain, and I couldn't move. "Please, help me." I gave up. I was going to die. I could never see my beloved Aiden ever again, neither see his family. " We will meet soon enough and you will have your answers, you shall not worry, my child. Wake up now, return to you beloved ones." The voice answered me at last. I saw a light, coming closer to me. It is so pretty, I thought as I reached out to it and gently touched it.
"HER HEARTBEAT IS BACK" I heard some shout out. Where am I? What did just happen to me. I felt something hold my hand. "Lucia, come one. I know you can do it. Please wake up. Don't leave me alone. please" I heard a familiar voice, it sounded so sad. Noo, Aiden, please don't cry over me, please dear, please. Tears started to run down my cheeks. "She hears you, that's a very good sign", the same voice said to Aiden. Someone stroked my hair "You are strong Lucia, I know you will get out of this, I know you will babygirl. You are my girl after all, you can do it love." Aiden.... I tried hard as I could to open my eyes or talk, but I just couldn't. I was so tired. But yet I still kept on going, I tried to open my eyes, or at least turn my head towards him. I don't give a damn about myself anymore, I need to show them that I'm ok, that they don't have to be afraid. But nothing worked, I just kept on crying and crying while Aiden sat next to me and hold my hand. "You got to rest Lucia. You have lost a lot of blood and you became weak. You need sleep" another voice came. Alright, I thought to myself and soon darkness took me in once more.
Aiden's POV
Damn it, I couldn't be there to save her again, I'm a failure. f*****g s**t, I can't even protect my girlfriend, then how am I supposed to be a good man for her. I promised her to keep her safe from all harm. I vowed to myself that I would protect her. And I have failed.
As my demons took me in. I didn't notice that Christina had been shouting to my face, trying to get me back to earth. I wasn't in mood for anything. I just wanted to her to ok. My beloved girl. Tears started to drip down my cheeks. Christina noticed what was happening with me and soon, she was hugging me, telling me something, but I couldn't hear her. I was so scared of losing the love of my life, and the fear stole every of my senses.
"Aiden....come on.....Lucia will be fine" she said to me. I looked into her eyes, I was broken to shreds. I wish I could believe her. Lucia is strong yes, she survived first time in the forest. But this time she doesn't have to be that lucky. If we were right, then whatever vampire bit her, had to inject some of his venom into her, and that would either kill her or make her a newborn vampire. I have been injected with their venom, I couldn't sleep or be awake. I couldn't eat or drink. It was truly horrifying, but I would be rather bit and injected with the venom than having Lucia in this shape.
If she doesn't make it, I have only two choices, either let her die or turn her into a werewolf. If I turn her into a werewolf, she will be bound to me, and only death can do us apart. We will live forever together. But would she want to stay with me this way? As my mate, my one and only. We would be free in some forest, living together, running together, going on hunts together, snuggling in the cold winters?
And if I let her die, I will die along with her. I can't even imagine my life without her. She is the reason why I changed for the better. Even though we are together for 5 months, she gives me reason to live and be a better person each day. I just hope that she will be in a better state soon. Until then, I need to focus on something else, yea, I will go and hunt this motherfucker down, and make sure he pays for this. Nobody dares to hurt my girl.
Christina knew what I was going to do. "You can't just go and hunt him down Aiden. You don't even know who that is. Things might get worse, and Lucia might be in a bigger danger." she said, making me stop my tracks. She is right. Lucia needs me more than ever. "Stay with Lucia until she wakes up, maybe she still remembers who hurt her the first time and now. And then we can hunt them down and you can make them pay for their actions." Christina knew exactly what to say, to calm me down. " I... I just.... I just can't lose her.... and let whoever dared to hurt her, get away with it." I sobbed, dropping on my knees, crying. " I know Aiden, I know. Lucia will be fine she is strong, she will be fine. We just got to wait now." Christina tried to comfort me. But the only person who could comfort me now, would be Lucia.
