Ash's POV
When I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was Chase. Which is the best freaking thing ever! Or atleast it would have been, if he hadn't had tear stains on his handsome face.
Unbuckling myself I kneel next to him and wipe the tears from his face slowly with my thumbs. I say a silent thankyou to the Gods that there wasn't any turbulence. Otherwise my loving gesture would have possibly ended in tragedy.
I kiss his temple and whisper to him softly, "whatever you're dreaming, please dont feel sad. I'm here for you, you are safe, and I will be by your side when you wake up." I kiss him again and begin to stand so that I can sit in my seat once more. I haven't even stood up completely yet when his arms snake around my middle and he sets me in his lap.
"Thankyou baby," he sighs quietly. His voice is thick and deep from sleep, but makes my heart skip. When he kisses my neck I think it stopped all together, but I somehow manage to have a full body shiver and tingles everywhere. I mean we're talking the roots of my hair to the soles of my feet type of tingle.
"I felt that," he says right at my ear sending shivers down my spine again and thank God I put on a baggy sweater earlier because my "headlights" as Tara likes to call them turned on. He groans softly in my ear, "That one too... ok unless you want me to start poking you with something that is not my finger you might want to stop doing that. Not that I mind it, but ..." he tails off leaving the rest unsaid.
"You're the one giving me the shivers so you stop," though I really dont want that, "or you know control your little friend there," I whisper in his ear.
His chest rumbles with a deep growl that makes a zing zap through my entire body. I'm talking like I got tased but in a awesome way not an holy shit this hurts way. Things are clenching, fluids (like blood 😏) are flowing I'm feeling alive!
"I'll show just how not little I am as soon as I get you alone," he says softly nudgging me with his not so little friend.
Holy shit!
Before I can get even more flustered his friend calls out that were almost ready to begin descending. So naturally I scrambled to get back to my seat and am nervous for a whole other reason.
I'm about to meet my family, my kids. Which if I'm being one hundred percent honest I'm still processing. Who knew that this year would turn out so crazy? Not me that's for sure! The most I thought would change was if Tara and I found boyfriends.
Now look at me, I found out not only is my new boyfriend not exactly my new boyfriend. Something even more shocking, he's not even human. That's not even the half of it but I'm also not who I thought I was. Life is seriously crazy sometimes, which makes me wonder... what would Tara think if she knew all this? Would she still even want to be my friend?
Then it hits me hard, I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to her. We just grabbed our things and left. What kind of friend does that make me? Knowing her she would have found a way to tell me, but from what Mom and Chase said it would have put her in danger.
I love Tara, she is my soul sister, I couldn't put a target on her like that. Still it hits hard though, I may never see her again.
I send a silent prayer to any deity that will listen to me, "please look out for Tara. Let her life be safe and if possible... please let us be able to meet each other again."
Had I known what was to come I would have stopped at my first request.

Else where
Tara's POV
I cant believe I was just at Vince Heyrd's house working on our project together. Not only that but he's different here than at school. Like really different, but super sweet and down to earth. Even more so than before it makes me like him so much more.
Right now he's driving me back home in his Toyota Tacoma. Ash is going to flip out when I tell her.
As we pull onto our street I look towards her house just in time to see some guys kicking the door in.
"Whoa what the FUCK!" I call out startling Vince and apparently the guys I just saw.
How I don't know because I didn't say it that load. Their heads turned our way so fast and in unison, which was freaking creepy as hell.
Vince kept driving and whispered to me, "stop looking and call the cops right now."
Realizing he's right I grab my phone and begin dialing. I hadn't gotten the second one out yet, when my door was ripped off the truck and I was yanked out.
I was so startled and it happened so fast I dont think I even screamed.
The next thing I knew I was suspended in the air and Vince was in a similar position.
"LET HER GO ASSHOLE!" Vince yelled before the guy started to choke him.
"Stop don't hurt him! What do you want?!" I said panicked.
"Boss she smells like the target," the guy holding me says to some guy walking up.
"They both do, but this one to a lesser degree," the other dushbag says.
This boss man comes walking out of Ash's house, "fine bring the girl leave the boy." He says with a hollow voice.
"No!" Vince yells trying to break free.
The guy holding Vince hits him hard in his gut, almost knocking him out. I screamed then felt the guy holding me stick something in my neck. The last thing I saw was them doing the same to Vince and tossing him in his truck.
