Chapter 8
Black*star sat down in a chair. “Can you put her on the bed so I can examine her?” asked Stein. Lance held Black*star’s shirt tighter at the sound of the word ‘examine’. “She won’t let go” said Black*star with a sigh. “Fine, she can stay there” said Stein. Stein noticed the test tube in Lance’s jacket pocket. He took it from her and stared at the liquid inside. “Where is this from?” asked Stein. “Lance wiped it from the corner of her mouth after she gained control of herself” replied Black*star. “I’ll do some tests but we need to take some blood” said Stein. Black*star nodded. He slipped off Lance’s jacket. She hugged him tight in fear. As the needle pierced the skin, Lance yelped. After Stein pulled the needle out Black*star hugged Lance. “It’s ok, it’s all over” he said reassuringly. “She needs to rest now, so Black*star please leave” commanded Stein. “Please don’t leave me alone Star boy” whispered Lance, Tears of fear running down her face. “Please let me stay, for her sake” said Black*star looking down at Lance, who was sobbing into his upper chest. “Fine, but I’ll be keeping an eye on you two” said Stein. Stein left and now only Black*star and Lance were in the infirmary. “It’ll be ok, I’ll protect you from your fears” he whispered In Lance’s ear.
Black*star watched Lance until she fell asleep. Then he laid her down on one of the beds and brushed the hair from her face. “You’ll only have sweet dreams tonight” he whispered. A smile appeared on Lance’s face as he said this. He left quietly and shut the door. “Thank you Black*star if you hadn’t of been here she wouldn’t have gone to sleep” said Stein. “Its fine” said Black*star. He walked out of the DWMA and went home. “Is Lance ok?” asked Tsubaki. Black*star nodded. “Thank heavens, did Stein examine her?” asked Tsubaki. “She wouldn’t let go. She was so scared but Stein got some blood so they can do tests” said Black*star. “Why didn’t you stay with her?” she asked. “Lance fell asleep so I assumed she would be ok” replied Black*star. “She might have the nightmares or someone could attack her” said Tsubaki. “I’m sure she’ll be fine” reassured Black*star. Black*star went to bed and fell asleep.
Lance’s dream (Upgraded)
I sat in a field of purple roses. The smell was overwhelming but I couldn’t pick any of the roses because they would cut me. “Oh my, you are beautiful” said a voice from behind me. I turned to see Harris. “You’re dead” I yelled wishing to end the dream here. “I’ll follow you until you die” he said. “Blood that drips only makes the roses grow faster” he proclaimed. I noticed my hands were bleeding. “Oh hell no” I said to myself. Roses grew around my arms and legs. They slashed at my little black dress. “Please make it stop” I screamed. “It’s your dream not mine” he said with a smirk. “I’m here to protect you” yelled Black*star. “Took you long enough” I said. A samurai sword materialized in his hand. A large surgical knife materialized in Harris’s hands. “Ready to fight for her love?” asked Harris. “I’m always ready” yelled Black*star. Harris Slashed at Black*star but he dodged. Black*star cut Harris’s cheek. “Still not dead” Harris taunted. Black*star stabbed Harris in the chest. “You let your guard down” proclaimed Black*star. Harris fell to his knees. “A worthy adversary, you may have the girl I never really cared for her” said Harris. He disappeared in a puff of smoke. “Please help me” I choked. I had Blood seeping from the side of my mouth. Black*star tore at the rose vines. “Arigato Star boy” I whispered, a smile appeared on my face. “I’ll always have your back” he replied.
Lance’s dream ended and she looked around to see that Black*star was no longer there. “I thought you would protect me” she sobbed. “You lied to me” she sobbed, Anger boiling up inside. Lance got out of the bed and slipped on her jacket. “Time to pay Star boy a visit” she said, an evil grin appearing on her face.
