Ash's point of view.

Forty-eight hours until we go to war with the Vampires.

I wake up early, knowing we have a lot to get through in these last couple of days; I slide out of bed, so I don't wake up Anna before slipping into the medical room for a fresh bag of blood; thankfully, the draining system is working a treat and now I'm always in front with the blood. Not that Anna would ever go hungry, as she has a room full of men willing to go out hunting for her.

I smile as I hook the bag up to the drip. Anna doesn't even move. I've never known anyone who sleeps like her, but then again, most of the guys in my life are ex-military, and it is normal for us not to sleep well. I leave the room as quietly as I can, leaving her sleeping; for once, I beat Bear, and I chuckle as I make a start on the breakfasts for all the guys.

A minute later, Bear is by my side as he cracks a full tray of eggs on the griddle. Humming to himself as he flips them over with his spatula.

    Ash's point of view.After sharing a sexy shower with my little Vampire, we fall into bed exhausted, especially as we've also spent the day getting everything in tip-top condition; Anna joined us as we oiled the weapons in the underground storage. No one asked her to help; she just likes to keep herself busy. It helps to take her mind off what's coming. I know how worried she is about me facing the King.I hold her tight, afraid of letting go; Anna wraps her legs around me, making sure that I can't let go, cherishing every minute of our time together over the last couple of days, neither of us knowing what tomorrow may bring.Twenty-four hours until D-Day. When I wake up in the morning, Anna is already awake, watching me with those beautiful eyes, and I chuckle as I say. "You know it's creepy to watch people when they sleep."She giggles as she replies. "Especially when you're a Vampire."I pull her towards me, so I can kiss her sweet lips as I say. "You are the least scary Vampire in

    Ash's point of view.After we eat dinner with the teams, Anna and I head into her bedroom, where we spend the evening locked in each other's arms as we watch a couple of films. She is still pretty pissed at me, but I think she understands my reasoning. I need my focus 100% on King Areon with no distractions, and Anna is a massive distraction in the best possible way, of course. I can't and won't take any risks with her safety. There is no way the King is ever going to lay his hands on her again.When the final movie is finished, I slide into bed, pulling my sexy little lady alongside me. I need to get some sleep as we have an early start in the morning, forcing my mind to close off; I drift off, feeling content as I hold her tight.I can feel the restlessness in Anna, though, and I know she is finding this hard. I've never had anyone worry about me before, and it makes me more determined than ever to get back home safely.I get up after a couple of hours of sleep, checking my watch. I

    Ash's point of viewI watch as the monster stumbles around the room, he reaches under the bed, obviously looking for something, but thanks to the smoke bomb, he can't see a dam thing.I grab the back of his neck, pulling him to his feet; as Bear looks to see what's under the bed, he pulls out a gun. I laugh as the smoke clears, and the fucker gets a look at my face. A couple of guards come storming into the room; Bear quickly takes them out with two silver bullets straight through the heart. The King's mouth drops to the floor as he says."Take what you want; just let me go. You have my word that I won't take any more human life."I laugh as I reply. "This isn't about you; this is payback for Your Wife...Queen Anna."His face falls as he growls. "Where is the little bitch?"My fist connects with his face before he has time to react; he raises his fists to come at me, but I'm ready as we go round for round; Bear takes a seat, kicking back as he enjoys the show. He gets a couple of chea

    Ash's point of view.I throw my little Vampire Queen over my shoulder, much to the delight of our audience; she lets a surprised gasp before she reaches down to grab my ass.The little Minx.I love this carefree side of her; she is no longer the same broken woman she used to be, that's for sure. We head off into my bedroom, and I throw her into the middle of the bed, where she lands with a giggle.We spend the night making love, a craving for each other that I cannot even begin to describe. Anna is insatiable, but I think a lot of it is down to her emotions running high. She's been so worried for me, and then she stood tall and faced the King, fuck, was that hot.I keep my promise. I don't want to sound big-headed or anything, but I definitely make her breathless many times.By the time we are finished, though, she's not the only one breathless. I pull her into my arms, afraid of letting her go as tomorrow we will make the trek back to Eden Forest to see the high witch, and the though

    Ash's point of view.The high witch Ophelia leads us to a large clearing in the forest, where a large flat stone sits at the centre. I hold Anna’s hand tight. I'm feeling sick with nerves. God only knows how she’s feeling. I whisper in her ear. “You make sure you come back to me Anna; I need you.”Before I bring her chin to mine as I kiss her precious lips, wiping away the tears in her eyes as she whispers back. I will, Ash, I promise you."Ophelia walks her over to the stone; before helping Anna to lie down, she places a silver star on her chest as she whispers. "This is the magical Eden Stone. The moon Goddess will show her face soon.”As the moon appears in the gap in the trees, the star begins to light up with the reflection of the moon.The witches form a circle around us as the moon begins to darken Ophelia, and the rest of the Eden Witches form a circle around Anna. The witches chant inside the inner circle, Anna Closes her eyes as Darius and his pack of wolves in the outer ci

    Ash's point of view.I carry Anna through the bunker to her bedroom, gently placing her on the bed and removing her shoes before sliding in next to her and pulling her into my arms as I whisper."Please come back to me, baby; I love you so much, you promised me a future, but now we can have our forever, Anna."I say it over and over again, but still, she stays still with no signs of waking up until I finally fall asleep with her in my arms. It's been a crazy and stressful day, that's for sure. When I wake up in the morning, Anna is still sleeping; I stay with her telling her how much that I love and need her and how I can't wait for our future together, marriage and a family. I want it all with her.Bear knocks on the door before popping his head around the corner as he says."Here, Son, I've got you some breakfast.""Thanks, Bear", I reply with a sigh; he puts a tray down on the side table, looking over at Anna as he asks. "No sign of her waking up yet then?""No, nothing." I reply.

    Ash's point of view.When we wake up in the morning, I get the shock of my life. Anna is awake before me; it's like she has a new lease of life now.I smile as I turn to look at her as I say. "Why are you awake so early?"She giggles as she replies. "Sorry, I didn't want to wake you; you were sleeping so peacefully."I chuckle; our roles have been reversed."I've never slept in bed this long." I say as I look at the time; Anna giggles as she says, "You must have needed it, but then again, we did use up a lot of energy last night."I laugh as I ask. "So why are you awake so early?""I'm starving." She replies..."Can you believe it; I am actually fucking starving; please tell me you have some bacon left.'She asks with a grin." Yes, we have bacon left, and sausage and eggs and beans and tomatoes and black pudding."I say with a chuckle as Anna dives out of bed, throwing on one of my t-shirts that covers her to her knees, and she's out of the door before I've even swung my legs off the

"It's good to see you too Stan, thanks for looking after this place for me." I say as I look at the Fire pit before walking around the car to open the door for Anna; her eyes are on Dylan as I reach in to take her hand as I whisper. "Come on, Anna, he will understand. once he knows the full story." She nods her head as she takes hold of my hand before climbing out of the car; I introduce her to Stan, as Dylan stays in the doorway. "Stan, this is Anna."..."Anna, this is my best friend and right-hand man here at the Fire pit." I say; Stan pulls her into a big hug as he says. "So this is the little lady who's stolen Ash's heart; it's good to finally meet you, Anna. Although I've heard so much about you off Ash, I feel as though I already know you."

    Anna’s point of view.After the breakfast of Dragons, we head outside again, only this time we have Bear and Cookie with us; it’s time to learn the art of fire breathing.I watch as Ash and Dylan each take the gem that turns them into their Dragons, and yes, they are still as magnificent as they were this morning; I have to laugh as when Cookie see the size of Ash’s Dragon, I swear his eyes popped out from his head.Yes, Cookie, he is impressive! Both in Human form and in Dragon form.I somehow end up being the mediator between the two Dragons and their two best friends; Bear raises an eyebrow at this, and I shrug my shoulders and smile. How can I explain something that I do not understand myself? After a couple of hours, Ash lets out a long sigh * I can’t do it; it’s not working**It will, Ash; we must keep trying* I reply, trying to sound confident for his sake when, really, I have no idea if this is ever going to work. All I know is that for the Army to penetrate the underworld, t

    Anna's point of view.After many hours of talks with the high witch of Eden forest, it would seem that the only way to open up the underworld is by fire, and it just so happens that we have two huge Dragons on our side, Two huge inexperienced Dragons who must both learn how to fly and breath fire, Dylan is quite happy for once that he has a little more experience than Ash. and I smile as I watch the pair of them together,We are standing above the waterfall today, out in the open. Yes, it may be dangerous, but Ash hopes that no one knows of this place, and when a dragon needs to learn how to fly, then it would be dangerous to be seen.So here we are…Dylan stands above the waterfall, and I must admit I feel a bit anxious as I watch him. Ash unwraps the Dragon Heart Gem, and within minutes, two magnificent Dragons stand before me, Dragons whose scales shimmer in the early morning light. They really are a beautiful sight to see.Dylan looks to Ash as he says, *Just let your wings unfold

    Anna’s point of viewWe stay locked in each other’s grasp until I shiver in his arms; Ash gently places me down as he whispers.“Let’s get you out of here before you catch a cold baby,” I have to giggle as he passes me a towel hidden in some nook in the cave, and I whisper, “You think of everything Ash”“Everything except spare clothes, I must remember that for next time,” he chuckles. as he hands me his boxer shorts and t-shirt. Once I'm dry, I slip into his t-shirt, which drops to my knees, before pulling his boxers on; he looks at me as he says,“I like you in my clothes; everyone knows that you are mine.”Which makes me giggle as I say, “I think they all know I’m yours by now, Ash.” He smiles.“You were always meant to be mine, Anna,” he says before taking my hand as he leads me back along the narrow ledge to the balcony, which is thankfully still empty, and we step back through the gate unnoticed. We're not so lucky when we get inside, though as all heads turn to look at us, I c

It would seem they all needed this, but when Monday morning comes around, it's all back to business and back to planning the next step of this war with the Demons.Ash is up at the crack of dawn as usual, and after a quick shower, I join them in the kitchen as I help prepare the breakfasts for the troops; it's not an easy task when you have a few hundred mouths to feed,I join Bear at the stove, and Dylan and Cookie lend a hand, too; Cookie seems to be a good influence on him. He is not your typical moody twelve-year-old anymore; he is mature for his age and fits in here with all of the other guys. I have heard him talking of his girlfriend, though I do think he's missing her.I know that Ash and Dylan, being the powerful Dragons they are, will b

I let out a sigh of contentment as I watch him sleep; he looks so peaceful when he sleeps, I giggle as I try to slide out of his arms; he lets out a groan but doesn't wake up, After using the toilet, I'm tempted to slide back into the bed beside him, but when I get a whiff of the bacon cooking, there's no way I can; it has been weeks since I've been able to eat properly my stomach grumbles as I follow the smell to the kitchen where I find Bear at the stove, I immediately grab some food as I help him to cook breakfast for the troops, it feels like I've never been away from the place, Bear grins as he says,"Boy, is it good to have you back, little lady?"I smile as I reply; it's good to be back, even though I feel as though I've never been away.He laughs, "Yeah, it must seem a little strange."

I do not remember being here, and I don't know why we are here. And I listen quietly as Ash tells me everything.I'm carrying the Dragon heir….Ash chuckles as he says,"I know it's a lot to take in. God, I wish you could have seen everything that happened today; I wish you could have seen our baby the way I did; it was beautiful."Bear's deep voice calls from the doorway."About that" He hands me his phone before pressing play; it feels unreal as I look at the screen and watch myself. I'm lying on Eden Rock. I remember it from last time, and I watch as the witches chant and the wolves howl; the most beautiful white lady appears above
