Until Dawn Ashley And Chris Novels & Stories

"Good. Then you can stop looking over your shoulder for tonight. I'll take the watch." Ashley exhaled a long, shaky breath. She didn't ask him to stay, but he sat on the couch across from her anyway, an immovable presence. She fell asleep like that, still in her clothes, the sound of Nathan's steady breathing the last thing she heard. Ashley awoke to the sound of a door opening. For a moment, she was disoriented, forgetful of her surroundings and the events that led to her falling asleep on the couch. Then the reality came back to her — the van, the men, the gun.

He closed his eyes and released a frustrated sigh. "Wrong move, my love... You won't see the sun after this." He followed her into the woods as she ran errands. Both were unaware of what was going to happen next.

Austin smirked, looking at her in a challenging manner. “I’m out of here. I’m sorry, Ash. We can catch up later.” She had an apologetic look and came over to give me a hug. I was too tired to put up a fight with her. I hugged her back and she said her goodbyes to Jake and Dan while giving Austin a death glare. I saw her leaving through the door while Austin looked like he was about to punch someone. How did a perfect evening turn into a mess? I rested my head on my hands, letting out a breath. “I’m gonna head out too. Take care, Ash.” Austin stood up and kissed my forehead. I smiled at him as he said his goodbyes, leaving in a rush.

She didn’t see him, but it felt like he was watching, like he had been lurking in the shadows, feeding off her fear.

Jesse pouted slightly but agreed, trudging behind her in the sand.

Asher was first to break the silence since we had left Zeke and the others, on our way to see if Holly knew anything about last night. Zeke had been right, and so had Asher, even though my chest ached at the thought of upsetting Holly. Part of me had been excited for a sister, and still was, but now all I wanted was for her to get better. To taste sunlight and freedom after years in the dark. Breyona, Giovanni, and Tristan were all at the house when we arrived. The first vampire had been sleeping peacefully, until Breyona padded upstairs to wake him up. The second, who peered at me with pale eyes, leaned against the kitchen counter.

CHAPTER FIVE GRACE'S POV April 12, 2023. 4:16pm I'd always heard that betrayal hurts, that it was brutal, but I never thought I'd be experiencing one. Especially not when it was my best friend and my husband in our bed. My gasp drew their attention and they looked my way. Susan gaped, eyes wide, skin pale and flushed at the same time. They were under the sheets, tangled up in their limbs. There was no denying what was happening at that moment.

This was the only reason she agreed to let the party hold in the first place. Ashley soon slept off and woke up two hours before the party time. There was noise coming from below and she knew a lot of preparations must be going on downstairs. She opened the door and walked out to take a peep of what was going on from the stairs." "Hey babe!

It was a repeat of how she'd felt being trapped in the elevators all of those long months ago. She felt suddenly sick. "I'll call you when I hear something," she said distantly. "I'll do the same."

With a mix of anticipation and trepidation, he approached Sasha's house, a grim realization settling upon him as he discovered Dawn's lifeless form. Grief washed over Chris as he knelt beside her, his heart heavy with sorrow. He had known Dawn as a colleague, a comrade in their shared mission to protect the innocent.
