A Vampire's Touch

Chapter 26 ~•They Call Him Ash•~

I'm running bare feet, running so fast in the forest that the branches and twigs scrape my bare legs and arms.

It's freezing outside, I breathe out and my breath puffs out my mouth. All I'm wearing is a thin white dress, and I'm clutching on to something in my hands. I tighten my grip on it because my life depends on it.

My foot smashes on a rock and I yelp, but re-gain my balance and keep running.

Why am I running? Because I can hear someone running behind, he's chasing me. And in my hands is a baby, mine and Ethan's baby. The cloth that's wrapped around him moves to the side. I look down to see the same icy blue eyes as Ethan's. I move the cloth back on my baby's face.

All of a sudden, I feel someone push me from behind. I tumble to the floor, covering the baby with my arms as I fall. I feel a splitting pain go through my body, and I turn onto my back.

This is it, I'm gonna die with my baby in my arms. And right when the intruder comes closer, I hear a loud bang!

~~~
BANG!

The sound wakes me up from my nightmare. I bolt upright and look to my right. On the floor I see Ethan, flat on his stomach.

"Did you fall off the bed?" I ask.

Ethan groans and turns over and starts to hold his stomach in pain.

"My stomach!" Ethan whines.

I start to laugh really hard, tears streaming down my face. Ethan glares at me, making me just laugh even more.

Ethan gets up and quickly grabs the covers from the side and pulls it to the floor. Since I'm on the covers, I fly with it and my butt slams onto the floor.

"Owwww! My butt!"

Ethan starts to laugh really hard, and I use my super speed and tackle him to the floor. To my success he falls to the floor, and I start to hit him.

Ethan's still laughing and we keep tackling each other. Ethan gets up but I grab his waist and I lean on him with all my weight.

Ethan try's to walk but can't. "Let go of me!"

"First say sorry!" I say back.

"You started it."

"No I didn't, you started it by falling on the floor," I reply.

Ethan sighs. "Fine! I'm sorry! Why do you always win?"

I let go of him and stand up. "Because I'm that amazing."

Ethan grins evilly and stars to tickle me. I fall to the floor, laughing and trying to catch my breath.

"Ok....ay! You.......WIN!" I shout, out of breath.

The only way I know that Ethan is the one for me is the way he makes me smile and laugh, even though the world sucks right now. He's the only one that makes me feel safe. Everyday I feel like I love him more. He's the only one that makes me feel whole again.

That's how I know I love Ethan.

I get dressed in a light blue skinny jeans, which are ripped at the knees, and a red tank top. It's not that hot outside so I decided to throw on a cardigan.

I leave my hair down, which is now half way down my stomach. My hair falls down nicely over my shoulder, and my wavy curls twist with each other.

Ethan said he wanted to take me out. I have no clue where the heck we even are. But apparently Drew said there's a ice cream stand not far by. I just heard ice cream and immediately agreed to go.
