Snippet #2221960

It caught Bill off guard the way the entire world shifted as soon as he saw the blonde woman running towards him. You would think that he would be used to it, but he wasn't. Every time he saw Cassie the world suddenly made sense. It was like walking into a lit room after wandering around outside in the dark-it took a minute to adjust but it was warm and safe.

The woman ran into his open arms, and he pulled her tight against him. "Are you alright?" he questioned into her soft hair that still smelled of smoke. A wave a pain hit him in the chest at the evidence of how close he had come to losing her. He pushed her away only enough to check for wounds; he considered it a good thing that all he saw was a bruise-even if seeing it made his blood boil. How dare anyone hurt her? He just barely placed a gentle touch on the darkening skin. "What happened?" he questioned.

As soon as Jeremy arrived they were heading out and finding the bastard or group of bastards that dare lay a hand on Cassie.
