As My Tears Turn Red

'That's right Baby'

'No, Dakota will protect me'

'Ew don't speak the name of that mutt, and see if he can protect you from this'

I forgot I still had the mark on my neck.

Well that sure reminded me.

I fell off of Dakota, writhing in pain.

I rolled back and forth clawing at my high-heated neck.

“Lilith? What's wrong?” Dakota's voice was so soft with concern.

“Her neck!”I heard the voice of Sam say, “her scars glowing red”

“B?” Dakota gasped, “Blaize.”

'Bye for now Baby”

The pain left.

I lay still weak from the pain I just endured.

“What was that?” Ray asked.

The question was intended for me, but Dakota answered, “ A promise from Blaize”, His voice was back to hard, “No He Can't Have Her, She's Mine!”

I curled up into a ball frightened by his possessive anger, the safe feeling gone for now.

“I Won't Let Him Take Her, I Won't Let Anyone Take Her!” He slammed his fist down breaking the table.

“Calm down Dakota, no ones going to take her from you we won't let that happen. Now, why don't you pick Lilith up and let her rest. I would say let her wait for food first, but it seems that took a lot out of her.” Ethan suggested.

“Yea okay” Dakota reached down to my now shivering form and scooped me up.

He brought me upstairs and placed me under the mountains of silk sheets.

I snuggled in and fell asleep.

'That right sleep well, I'll be there in the morning'

'What? Morning? You can talk in my sleep too?'

'Yes morning and yes I can talk to you in your sleep'

'Now drift into a dreamless sleep'

I instantly drifted away against my will.
