Ben ran through the woods as fast as he could. He knew he had to make it to the top of this hill and to the observation tower before he was found. He wasn't sure what was at the top of the tower but he knew it was his only chance. He could hear many things from the wildlife around him but he could not hear Emily. His senses were razor sharp but he couldn't see her, hear her, smell her, nothing. If she was close she was doing very well at remaining hidden.
As he entered a small clearing he saw Emily standing against a tree filing her nails like she was waiting for him.
"Emily?"
"Tisk tisk, I thought you would do better than this love." She said walking towards him.
Her eyes were glowing red and so was the pendant around her neck. She was right in front of him with a sinister looking smile on her face. She began running her fingers down his shirt almost being playful. Ben looked at his wife and smiled a little wondering if she was still there and still the woman he loved until she suddenly punched him in the stomach knocking him to the ground.
"That's right bow down to your Queen."
"Holy... shit" he said coughing trying to catch his breath.
"You are weak, slow, and pitiful." She said kicking him in the face. "You couldn't even make it halfway up the hill?" She went to kick him again when he blocked her leg and tripped her knocking her to the ground as he pulled himself up and pinned her down.
"Emily, this isn't you." He said trying to reason with her.
She started laughing in his face which just shocked him. She had seemed to have lost her mind and Ben was starting to wonder if this had been a mistake. He reached for the pendant but she grabbed him by the wrist squeezing it to the point of pain and kicking him off of her. He jumped to his fear and ran as fast as he could up towards the top of the hill. He could still hear her laughing in the distance. He was starting to think there was no way this was really happening. It wasn't possible for Emily to lose control like this. In her current state he wasn't sure if he could over power her if he needed to but he also didn't want to hurt her either. He had to get where he was going as it was the only way to end this.
Ben could feel the fear building in him. It reminded him of the days when he was human and was still afraid of her on some level. She could be anywhere ready to pounce at any moment and he would never see her coming. He continued through the darkness getting closer to the top. He could see the stone structure and was almost there when he froze still. Something was wrong as he looked around. It was silent, it was dark, he couldn't hear anything and could sense nothing. A chill ran up his spine as he knew she had to be there. She was in the dark waiting for him, he could feel it in his bones.
Suddenly from out of the darkness she jumped at him knocking him to the ground. He jumped to his feet quickly looking around for her. He turned and saw 2 red eyes in the dark staring at him. He also saw the glow of the gem around her neck which had caused all of this. It was like being face to face with a wolf. He stared at her for a while until in a blink of an eye she was gone and he was in darkness again. He heard her laughing in the woods like she was taunting him but he didn't know where she was.
"Emily?" He yelled out still only getting the laughter in response. "Emily stop this."
"Why? I thought you enjoyed being afraid of me?" Her voice said from the dark still laughing a little.
"Not like this, this has gone too far and I know you can stop..." Something suddenly flew by him knocking him down again mid sentence.
He felt a sharp pain across his chest and soon realized he had 5 large scratches across him that had gone clean through his shirt and his skin. He could feel the blood in his hands as it dripped from him. He knew he had to get that necklace off of her or make it to the tower. He wasn't sure what was up there that could end this, he just knew he had to try.
He got back to his feet and ran towards the building. When he got to the edge of the woods he hesitated because he knew being out in the open was risky with her nearby. He looked all around and heard nothing. No menacing laughter just silence. He knew she was waiting out there for him. His heart was pounding and he couldn't help but feel afraid.
He looked out across the way and saw her. She was in the woods maybe 100 yards away. Her red eyes glaring at him like she was ready to take him out if he even made an attempt to make it to the observation tower. He looked at the building and then back at her but she was no longer there. He could not see her anywhere and knew it would be risky but was about to go for it when he suddenly heard something behind him.
"I win." A whisper said right near his ear.
Ben ran towards the structure as fast as he could never looking back. He could hear her behind him and he wasn't sure if she was toying with him or not. He waited and expected her to get him at any second. He ran inside and up the stairs but right as he was about to get to the top of the tower he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder like claws piercing him knocking him to the ground.
Ben felt the cold stone against his face as he fell to the floor. She pulled her claws from his back before she turned him over. He looked up only seeing 2 glowing red eyes and a Darkened figure above him with the necklace still glowing around her neck. He couldn't help but feel a little turned on as she had him like her prey pinned below her.
"You can't escape me, and you can't beat me." She said with a darkened voice more sinister sounding the voice of the woman he loved as she toyed with her victim.
"Ok Emily... you win." He said as he looked up at the beautiful demonic creature his wife had become.

Hours earlier.
The following evening Emily couldn't help but wonder if she should call Tiffany just to make sure Vlad didn't completely wreck her but she had had more important things on her mind at the moment. She was constantly watching Ben just trying to see if there was anything different about him or any odd changes in mood. He walked in behind her dropping his coat on the chair before he began taking off his shirt and watch. Emily just watched him with a smile in her face admiring the man she loved. She was trying not to worry and convince herself that he was going to be fine but she still couldn't get it off her mine.
"Let's go somewhere." She said.
"What, We just got home?"
"No I mean let's go traveling again, anywhere you want to go."
"We just opened the club and Vlad is staying in town to apparently keep an I on me so it just seems a bad time to just take off."
"I don't care about what Vlad wants, I just want to go somewhere with you."
"Why now?"
"Because, there's a whole world to see and I want to see it with you."
"Emily, I'm going to be fine."
"Are you, I mean do you really believe that?"
He walked over and took her hands in his before he said. "I have to."
"But I want to fuck you in every country before you turn into something... Unfuckable."
"Um... as tempting as that sounds I can't help but question that unfuckable comment?"
"I'm just kidding, I'm sure whatever you become I can learn to fuck it... I mean you."
"Once again, sexy but really?"
"What? Maybe you'll grow some extra appendages... if you know what I mean."
"What is wrong with you?" He asked trying not to laugh.
"You deal with this your way, I'm dealing with it in mine."
"By imagining me growing an extra... appendage?"
"Honestly your appendage is fine the way it is, just know whatever happens I will still be there to love you... and Fuck your brains out."
"Good to know, but can we stop saying appendage?"
"We can call it whatever you want as long as it's still mine to use as I please."
"It's been yours since the day we met... well the second time we met because I was a kid the first time."
"But a cute kid."
"Not making it any less weird."
"Really, so a naughty babysitter isn't something you'd want to role play?"
"Maybe if I was the Dad... wait how the hell did we get here?"
"Sexy role play discussion?"
"If we can stop talking about my childhood I'm all ears. What did you have in mine?"
