~Adrian~
I could smell Paige's blood. I knew I was dreaming but our bond had gotten stronger since I had tasted her.
If she sleeps, I can call her to me in our astral plane, and she can tell me where I can find her.
I called for her, and called for her, but she did not answer back.
I know she is alive, I can feel it in what's left of my soul and I will not give up on her.
Echoing through the foggy woods I could hear a man's voice: "Thanks for the reminder, I did owe you one."
"Paige, if you can hear me, follow my voice," I called out.
"Adrian!
Where are you?" Paige's voice called back, giving me hope once again.
"Mon Cheri, I am here," I called back to her as tears strained my voice.
The fog parted like the Red Sea, and Paige stood there like a goddess dressed in white. She looked up at me and looked back down and smiled as if she was shy. Her cheeks grew pink; she was blushing, like the first night we met.
I wrapped my arms around her. "Mon Cheri, I can help you but I worry you will never forgive me once you see that side of me," I said as I brushed the hair from her face.
"I thought I would never see you again," she said sadly. "
Vince did this, he hired men to take me and now they want more money from him. I've tried to fight, I just…I don't want to die," she said as her voice grew shaky and her tears swelled up in her eyes.
"There's more than one?" I asked out loud. "
You will not die, I swear it, and Vince will get exactly what he deserves for this," I said with anger.
"They took me to an old house in the woods but I don't know where I am exactly," she said.
"I don't have much time. I wish we had more time," Paige said, holding my hands with tears rolling down her face.
Her feet began to disappear.
"No!" I shouted.
"I love you," she whispered as bloody tears began to form inside my eyes.
"I love you, Paige," I said as I watched her evaporate into the foggy clouds of our dreams.
I awoke in a rage.
It was finally nightfall and I had all the information I needed to find the one responsible for this.
I will have my revenge and I will have it tonight.
