Annmarte shot up as she came out of her dream. Looking about she saw him sitting beside her on the bed watching her carefully. His hand reached out for her just as he was about to touch her skin she pulled away.

“don’t…don’t touch me.” She stammered, as she rolled from the bed. Looking at him all she could see was something with so much power that it scared her. “I…I want to go home. Please let me go home.” The last part of her request came out like a plea.

“You will stay here.” Zacaris’ words were simple and finale. His eyes continued to watch her. Behind the hard determination was a concern that ran so deep. “You will be safe…” Annmarte cut him off before he could finish.

“Don’t, you can’t say that. Everyone always says that and then HE kills them. Always….blood…there’s always blood.” She said shaking. Why did that dream seem so real, almost as though it had really happened? It was a dream this all is a dream…none of this is real. I was never here before. I don’t know that old man…..I don’t…he’s my…. Annmarte was quickly going into shock when once again Zacarias voice saved her.

“Calm yourself, breath with me.” His voice came from right behind her. Soon she felt his arms find their way around her stomach. Pulling her into the shelter of his body, he spoke gently to her calming her down. In a matter of moments she was breathing normally. “Rest you are safe here nothing will touch you.” Annmarte was so exhausted that she could not fight the command that he gave her. Her eyes fluttered shut, and her head lulled to the side. Looking down at her neck Zacarias bent his head and drank from her. Closing he wound on her neck he laid her on the bed. Propping her up he opened a wound on his wrist and held her face to it and commanded her to drink. Once the first exchange was done he could feel the weight that he carried lighten. Brushing her hair from her face he smiled. With a finale command to sleep till he woke the next night he left. Weaving safeguards about the room he would sleep with a measure of calm.
