•Recap•

Ethan helps me up and we are about to leave when Sir William comes. "Son! What are you doing?"

"I'm not your son and you're not my father!" Replies Ethan.

"Stay away from Grace! She's not yours to keep."

"She's not anyone's to keep."

Ethan starts to attack his father. Sir William is pretty old but he's still really strong. I watch as Ethan gets thrown around. The fight ends quickly and Ethan's on the floor on his knees panting, his back towards his father. Sir William takes out my sword and aims it at Ethan.

"Ethan!!" I scream and run to block Ethan to stop Sir William. I hear the sword going in flesh, it takes me a while to realize the swords in me.

Sir William looks shocked, and I feel blood pour out my mouth. I look down at the sword in my stomach and I touch it. Everything just seems to go black.

•Ethan's POV•

I hear the sword going into soft flesh. I think that it's in me, but I don't feel anything. I look down and the swords not in me.

I get up and turn to see Grace standing with her sword in her stomach. I quickly run over to her and catch her before she falls.

I take out the sword from her stomach and gently lie her on her back. Blood bubbles out her mouth as she shakes. I grab the sword and turn around to fight my father, but he's gone.

I quickly look back at Grace and kneel beside her. I take my shirt off and wrap it around Graces stab wound.

"I have to do something! Think Ethan think!" I say to myself.

Then an idea pops in my head. I have to do it, I have no choice at all. If I want her to live, I have to do it.

"Sorry," I say to Grace.

I kiss Grace on the cheek, then I move my face to her neck. My fangs come out and I sink them into Graces soft skin.

~Now~

•Ethan's POV•

It has been four days, four days since the incident. I found a small cave deep in the woods and I made Grace a comfy spot.

Grace hasn't woken up for four days, that isn't normal. She should have woken up the first day. I check her heartbeat everyday to make sure she's still breathing.

No one has found us since the ceremony. I'm grateful for that because if I see my father, I know I'm gonna go insane and try to kill him for hurting Grace.

I love Grace, I don't care if she says she doesn't, I always will love her. What she doesn't understand is that she's already breaking my heart from staying away from me.

I stand up from Grace's side and leave the cave. I grab the deer that I just killed and sink my fangs into it. I suck the blood out of it until I'm full. I leave half of it full just in case Grace wakes up hungry.

I hear a sound of movement and I turn to look at Grace. She's perfectly still, lying down in the cave. Her face is beautiful than ever, her face pale, veins spidering down her neck.

That wasn't there before! At least I think.

I walk towards Grace's limp body and kneel down beside her. I brush a piece of her hair off her face. I wait for her to wake up but nothing happens for seconds, minutes, hours.
