flipped her onto her back. She began to fight the attacker, but he was overwhelmingly strong. She screamed when he pulled both of her arms over her head and pinned them down with one of his.
    He straddled her waist and in one swift motion, ripped the collar off of her turtle neck shirt. She tried to shake away the hair that covered her face so she could see the man who she thought was about to rape, maybe even murder her. She made one last attempt as he came down toward her and their eyes made contact. Her attacker froze in disbelief as he looked down into the same beautiful brown eyes that he had fallen in love with, and D`nae simply passed out.
    Danny stood and stumbled back. He had almost harmed the one thing that kept him from taking whatever life he had since he had woke in that coffin at the train station in Lochalsh. He knew what he had become the night those three creatures attacked him so many years ago and he had thought many times about the night that he would one day see his one true love again. How she would react was something he couldn’t even fathom. He was not the same man that she had given her heart to, but the time had come to find out what he had been asking himself every night that he had woken a creature of its embrace.
    He walked back to her and took her in his arms. He put his face against her hair and closed his eyes, breathing in the very essence that he had so longed for. He laid her back and as he looked down at her angelic face, he knew he could never lose her again and in one graceful leap, the two disappeared into the night sky. Soon after, he entered the stone walls that encased the castle on his family’s land. It was nothing more than ruins, but it was a place that he now called home.
    D’nae moaned every so often as he carried her down the long, curved stairway that led into what used to be the dungeons, and what was now his living area. He laid her down on the bed and covered her with his coat. He started a fire in the large stone fireplace, and once he was finished, he left the castle to retrieve her things and steal whatever else she might need that he didn’t have in the castle.
    While he was out, D`nae started to come around. She thought she was back at home in her bed dreaming about Danny, until she smelled the fireplace and realized she didn’t have one.
    She sat up a little too fast and went right back down, grabbing her head. “ I must have knocked the crap out of my head ,” she thought and tried sitting up a bit slower. She had no clue how she got here or where here was, but she was grateful someone came along and saved her from her attacker. “Did he look like Danny, or was I just scared out of my mind ?” she asked herself. “Hello!” she called out. When no one answered, she decided to take a look around.
    The walls were solid stone, dark gray in color and there were several pieces of extremely old furniture setting about. There were two high-backed chairs in front of the fireplace, which was big enough to actually stand in when not blazing, with a small round table between them and behind the chairs sat the bed she woke up on. It was one like she had never seen. The headboard was covered with intricate carvings on what looked like extremely old vintage wood that extended all the way to the top of the stone ceiling. The footboard had round posts two-foot thick that reached just as high. Faded maroon curtains encircled the bed, tied open at all four corners, and the comforter looked like it used to be a plush burgundy, but was now only a pale reminder of days past.
    The more she explored, the more she realized she must be underground: no windows, stairs that only went up, doors with iron bars that opened to God only knows where. The glow of the fire and the two candles that burned gave the place an eerie feel. “All this place needs is some shackles and it would make a perfect dungeon ” she thought. Then it hit her. “ I AM in a dungeon !” That thought drove
