I was thirsty.

My lips were completely dry and seemed to develop cracks when I stretched them too much.

I reached up and stroked the edges of my lips, feeling the dryness. I opened the last drawer and found the only drop of water, in a small bottle top.

I carried it in my hands and sipped desperately, but it wasn't enough at all.

"She's in trouble," I turned towards the door and the same woman stood there, pointing at me. "She's in trouble."

She suddenly vanished and two unfamiliar Hallows rose from the ground, their bodies twisted in an odd manner.

I moved back only to hit the cupboard. The hallows screamed and came to me in a flash, I shielded my eyes for protection.

"Emily!" I flashed my eyes open when I heard Grey's voice, his face was just above me and he looked worried as he stroked the sides of my face, I didn't know I was sweating until now.

"What?" I asked, my heart still pumping menacingly in my chest.

"Were you having a bad dream?" He asked, resting his head on his upright arm. "Tell me about it,"

"It was that woman, she kept saying those words... And then she disappeared and these Hallows just... Floated out of the ground and tried to attack me." I said, feeling deeply scared.

"Were you in a forest?" He asked and I shook my head in denial.

"I was in the kitchen, it's like I was so thirsty and wanted water, but there wasn't, completely, I found this bottle top with just a drop of water and I sipped it then that's when the woman showed up, pointing at me." I sighed and ran my hand through my hair in fear. "I'm so scared, Grey,"

"I'm here," he wrapped his free arm around me, "I will protect you from anything, now get some sleep."

"No, or else I'll dream about that again." I shook my head in denial and he sighed.

"You want water?" He suddenly asked and I nodded my head, he reached behind him and I head him pour then stop, it took so long for him to finally turn and hand me the glass cup, I drunk half way down and gave it back to him with a sigh.

"Goodnight." He whispered, kissing my cheek. I stared at him as he hugged me softly to his chest.

"Grey I can't... Sleep... I'm so... Scared and... " I was seriously dozing right now.

"Sleep tight." He whispered and I snuggled closer to him as the sleep got worse and covered my ears and eyes completely.

I woke up and Grey wasn't there, instead, it was Glory and Renee who were beside me, both talking and giggling as they looked down at the baby in her hands.

I smiled and slowly sat up.

"Aww," I squirreled in excitement, drawing their attention, they both smiled warmly at me. "Can I hold him?"

Glory nodded and chuckled as she carefully handed me her baby boy. He was very beautiful and adorable, he had slightly long eyelashes and very pink lips, his skin was sort of a light chocolate like his father, giving him extra cuteness.

"He's so beautiful," I said and used my finger to brush the strands of his hair off his face, "he completely looks like a mixture of both of you."

"Thanks." Glory chuckled and Renee sighed in admiration.

Then the baby slowly opened it's eyes and I was completely shocked. bright sea green eyes that sparkled even in the dawn light. It wasn't beautiful, no, it was gorgeous!

"Wow, I think I'm in love," I joked and they laughed. I slowly handed him back to her before he wanted to start crying for seeing a stranger pick him up. "Max must be so proud."

"He is," she chuckled, gently rocking the baby to stop crying, "he was so happy to be the first to hold him, he was beyond excited that he got to see him before the red moon, now all he has to do is protect him, I pray he doesn't lose to them, that we live happily for long together, both of us raise him together."

"I know how you feel, " I held her shoulder, "both Hunter and Grey are fighting, yet yesterday Hunter acted like he was giving up, like he was going to die, Grey is going to stay with me to make sure I'm not hurt since there was this woman who kept saying my baby is in trouble. I don't think she's normal, normal people don't just disappear." I said, getting scared. "I even had her in my dream yesterday, in that same dream after she disappeared, Hallows came in and tried to attack me, but I woke up," I sighed and they both looked worried and stricken with intense fear.

"That's serious," Renee said, "Grey saw her?"

"Yeah, she was right in front of me, pointing at me, and kept saying the words 'she's in trouble', Grey saw her and screamed my name to get away, but I wanted to know why she said that, before she could, Grey reached out for her and she just disappeared. She told me to run as far away as possible once the baby was born. Though I can't right now because they're afraid I'll alarm the vampires and hallows too soon." I said with a frown and they both exchanged uneasy stares.

"Hunter... Was crying yesterday." Glory said with furrowed eyebrows and a deep frown.

"Why? Was he hurt? Did his family die?" I asked as my heart thud for answers.

"He said he wanted to at least leave his baby with you before roads turn for the worst. He was scared of losing you, not losing himself, I've been with Hunter all my life but never saw him this fragile. Before he met you, he used to say he'd die for his people, now? He's holding back, trying to get away from the war but he can't, he wants to come to you yet he can't, they swore an oath and... His last option was to just cry it out." She explained and by then I was crying painfully into my pillow, failing to imagine him crying. He should have told me before he left yesterday, I feel worse and ugly right now. I feel like I'm the reason for all this.
