Chapter 56: The Figure Emerging

I get on my guard, and let out my fangs and claws, giving a fair warning to whomever may be trying to attack.

I don't know if I'll survive whatever it is that may or may not be coming at me, but I won't go down without drawing blood.

I get over Malcom, covering him as I use my senses to ear and or smell whomever is coming.

Then, it hits me, and I feel hungry, thirsty, and every thing that means desperate want.

In an instant, I know who it is.

And as I watch the trees surrounding us, I find him, Elias.

"Elias!" I scream and rush him in an embrace.

"Abigail." He takes me into his arms and spins me around, before letting me down by the waist.

I attempt to sink my lips into his, but... I feel, something, pull me back.

So I just wrap my arms around his neck.

"What are you doing here?" I whisper into his ears.

"I came to see you."

I finally let him go, and stare into his eyes.

"This...this is dangerous."
