I Can't Live Without

Xena felt the crash of the cars colliding. Then glass smacking and stabbing her fur. Then blood dripping into her eyes.

But in the middle of it all, she felt powerless.

Heat scorched her fur as the car began to flame.

She struggled to push the door open, her arm quivering. The door slammed open, and a young cat about Xena's age dragged her away. His beautiful amber eyes were gazing at her in concern.

The strangers grabbed his iPaw and called 911.

"Yeah, a car crash just happened at 861 Jammer's Ferry."

He paused.

"Close to the town square," He certified.

He pulled her away.

"My name is Lucas, just call me Luke." He gently brushed some blood away from her and held back the people trying to get to Xena.

Xena gasped for air, feeling she would faint.

"X-Xena," She coughed out.

Lucas' face turned worried and he grabbed a rag from a nearby jammer who offered it. He began to wipe her silently.

Then the siren sounded. Xena looked up but fell back from the pain.

Then strong paws grabbed her and she closed her eyes.

"Xena? Xena?" Lucas waved his padded paw in front of her face. "Xena, wake up!"

Lucas didn't have feelings for her- of  course not! He already had a fianće!

Well, he hoped he didn't have feelings. He wasn't sure.

And forget that he had thought her pretty- Rena was all he needed.

Right?

Lucas had never felt this way for a mortal before. He glanced at the clock. Almost a week after the accident. Xena groaned and stirred slightly.

"Lucas?" A musical voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

He stood up and met Rena outside. "Hey Ren." He swung her around and kissed her cheek. Ren's cheeks went a light pink.

"Let's go home." Rena suggested. Lucas nodded.

''Lucas? Wait don't go!''

Xena pleaded as she saw Lucas leave the room.

''Wait! ''She cried silently.

Xena sighed and shivered.

''Matthew's gone too. I've lost another...''
