Die for you- The Weeknd

""NO" I gasped as I shot up. I was breathing so hard, I began to get light headed. I looked around fast trying to determine my surroundings. I was still laying down where I had fallen.

"I shouldn't be alive" I questioned myself as I felt my head. A small amount of blood stained my hand as I felt my scalp sting.

I heard a shuffle from behind me. I slowly turned around and saw glowing eyes in the dark.

"Penny?" I asked as I squinted my eyes, trying to adjust them to the darkness. I tried getting up but failed as I fell back onto the floor. I began to crawl towards him as my head pounded in pain. I reached out for him but that only made him back up quickly into the darkness.

"Penny" I said again as I started to feel dizzy from the blood loss. I bit my lip as I crawled on the floor, trying to get to him. I heard him growl but it came out more like a whimper.

I finally felt his silk suit in my grasp and I used that to hoist myself up. His chest glowed allowing me to see him completely. Blood softly floated upwards from his chest. I quickly put my hand over it trying not to freak out.

"What's wrong oh my god Penny what's wrong?" I asked spastically as I tried to cover the wound.

"Lola" he said as he looked into my chest. I looked down confused and my body froze in shock as I realized I was glowing from the inside too.

"What? What is this?" I asked as I continued to look down into my chest. I looked up at Penny only to realize he was looking at me with pity. That only scared me even more.

"It was the only way" he said softly as the lights began to glow brighter. My chest erupted in what felt like flames. I stumbled backwards as I began to scream in pain. I tried clawing at my chest but it was hot to the touch. Penny looked at me with sadness in his eyes but he didn't move. It's as if he knew there was nothing he could do. Tears streamed down my face as I felt my chest burn. Soon my whole body felt on fire and I fell onto my back squirming in torture. It was the worst pain I had ever felt, and I don't think any human would be capable of surviving such immense pain. So then why wasn't I dead already?

"Make it stop! Penny please make it stop!!!" I begged as my hand reached out for him. He stayed motionless, in complete shock. It looked as if I was having an exorcism. My back arched in impossible angles as the lights continued to burn throughout my body. After a few more moments of torture, I began to feel cool. My body began to relax as I felt coldness creep into my veins. My body had reached normal temperature but the coldness didn't stop. I felt it continue and I could've sworn I had frostbite on my whole body by now. The low temperature was so cold it became unbearable. It felt as if I had been frozen alive. I screamed out once again and Penny immediately lunged towards me, picking me up and pressing me against his chest. I laid limply in his arms as he tried his best to give me warmth but nothing was working. I was so cold, I couldn't even cry and instead my face became motionless.

"What's happening to me?" I whimpered as I saw my breath fog up in front of me from the icy temperature. Penny continued to stay warm and that made me realize that the coldness was coming from within me and only I could feel it. That only made me feel more helpless.

"It was the only way" he said again as he looked at me in the eyes. He held me tighter as I began to whimper, threatening to cry.

What did he mean by that?

"Shhhh" he cooed as he rubbed my head, trying to get me to sleep. My body had returned to normal temperature and it was exhausted from the torture I had endured. I slowly began to close my eyes, preparing to sleep. I felt Penny pick me up, stumbling a bit from his own wound. My eyes were blurry and all I saw was dizzy images of us walking through the darkness.

I woke up again in my bed. I looked down at my chest immediately. I sighed in relief as it felt normal under my touch. I calmed down as I told myself it was all just a bad dream. I looked around to see my room was empty with no sign of Penny. I laid back down slowly, keeping my eyes wide open. My mouth was dry and all I wanted was water. My head ached but I didn't pay no mind to it as I excused it as part of my nightmare. My hand causally reached for my head and suddenly felt a sharp pain on my scalp. I began to breathe heavily as I lowered my hand down to examine it. It was covered in dry flaky blood. I opened my mouth to scream but was suddenly stopped by penny's soft hand on my mouth.

"It's okay darling" he comforted as he lifted me off the bed. He carried me to the restroom and sat me

on the sink. He then proceeded to undress me as I looked at him hazily.

He struggled with the tub faucet but was able to turn it on after a few failed attempts. Once it was half way full, he picked me up and sat me in the warm water. I looked up at him as he began to wash my hair and body the best he knew how too. The water was tinting red as the blood washed off my hair. I winced at the image as Penny continued to pour water over me.

"Ow" I whimpered as I held penny's arm, trying to stop him as he began to wash the wound on my head.

"Don't be stubborn" he scolded as he grabbed both my arms tightly and continued to clean the cut. I whimpered as I felt my scalp sting from the contact.

"Good girl" he cooed as he finished up. He lifted me up and my body began to shiver from the cold air. He had forgotten to close the window. I stood there, holding tightly onto my body.

"Towel" I said with shaky breaths as I pointed at the white fluffy towel on the rack. Penny reached out his long arm and effortlessly grabbed it, handing it to me afterwards. I immediately wrapped myself and before I could step out, Penny picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. He held me tightly against his chest and I bit my lip from bursting into tears at all the emotions I was feeling. Once he put me down, I made my way to the closet, weakly, and began to dress myself in any soft clothing I could get my hands on. Penny stood in the closet doorway, watching me carefully. It looked like he was making sure I was safe. I began to grow worried at his sudden protectiveness.

I slipped past him as I laid onto my bed. He immediately followed after. I hid under my covers, my wet hair soaking the pillow. I felt the bed dip and penny's hand reach for the blanket, pulling it off of my face.

"You're weak" he said as he pointed to my chest. His own chest began to glow as mine followed after. I looked down in shock as I began to fill with panic. Penny picked me up and placed me in front of him. I sat on my knees motionless as Penny opened his mouth so wide I could see lights coming from deep down his throat. My eyes froze as I was hypnotized by the beautiful lights. I felt my body begin to float, but the soft feeling of my silk sheets under my knees,

indicated I was still on the bed. My body began to feel powerful and I felt full. It was a feeling of utter euphoria.

Penny closed his mouth quickly after, leaving me dumbfounded.

"You fed" he said as he waited for my reaction. I felt so much better and my head had stopped hurting.

"What?" I asked in confusion as I sat on my legs.

"You're part of me as much as I am a part of you now" he said.

"I fed you my light, you have it in you now, you have me in you. It was the only way to bring you back" he continued. I stood there silently trying to comprehend what was coming out of his mouth.

"My kind use it to mate but it's something we avoid. Too many risks" he added.

"What risks?" I asked.

"Death" he responded.

"Did it hurt you?" I asked gently as I reached for the spot on his chest that carried the wound I saw on him that night.

"It has too" he said as let me touch his chest. I felt his heart beat under my fingertips. I looked up at him as I crawled over to him, sitting on his lap. I cupped his face in my hands softly.

"Will I be okay?" I asked as I looked deep into his eyes.

"As long as you're with me" he said.
