"Horrific Vision"
Lance flew over the water, letting his powers manipulate the surface of the water. He couldn't wait to get home and spend time with his mate, a fellow fey by the name of Keith. He was a fire fey where Lance was a water fey.
He heard the raucous noise of hunters having a party on the beach. It had been awhile since he had run across a band of hunters. It worried him having them so close to his home. He flew closer and was immediately incensed by the sight of cages full of other supernatural beings. He decided to help out the fellow beings and release them from the cages. He used the water to run the hunters off and open the cages. He looked around and grinned at the fleeing fey, shapeshifters, vampires, werewolves, and other beings. His grin morphed into a look of horror as his gaze fell on a familiar fey with crimson and black wings, who wasn't moving.
"Keith?" Lance rushed forward and pulled his mate into his arms. "Keith, are you all right?"
"L...Lance?" Keith's purple eyes were half-open.
"Yes, I'm here. I've got you, sweetheart."
Keith seemed to be having trouble breathing. "Lance...I...love you."
Keith's eyes slid closed, and he went limp in Lance's arms. "Keith!"

"Keith!" Lance sat up, his wings quivering. He had had a nightmare of his mate being captured by hunters again.
"Lance? What's wrong?" Keith rushed into the room and pulled Lance into his arms, his wings wrapping around his mate.
"I had a nightmare, where you were captured by hunters again." Lance began shaking harder.
"Shh, sweetheart. I'm okay. I'm here."
Lance clutched Keith close. The nightmare felt so real, and that reality scared him. He loved his mate so much, and he didn't want to lose him ever.
