He would continue to kill until the day he died.

Raven sat up from her desk with a contented sigh. Flexing her cramped fingers, she glanced at the clock and gave a start. It was already six in the morning, and she needed to get to school.

She hurried to the bathroom, showered and got into her uniform. The house was quiet. Well she was the only one home. Her parents were on a business trip overseas, as usual. She grabbed a granola bar from the kitchen and went to her room to grab her bag.

"Oh, crap," she muttered.

Lounging on her bed and looking perfectly at ease, was Chase Young. He rested on her pillows and gave her a cool smile.

"The hell are you – "she started until he got up, the smile vanishing. She took a step back, his inhuman aura making her back away instinctively. This was definitely not a dream.

"You were saying?" he asked in a cold arrogant tone. She shivered.

"W… Why are you?" she was getting hysterical now, her voice a few pitches higher than usual.

He arched an eyebrow. "I sent you that dream," he said. "You should know."

She took another step out of the room. "I'm not Eva," she whispered.

Run! a voice yelled at her.

Her instincts took over, and she ran as quickly as she could, out of the house, away, far away from that inhuman cold beast that shouldn't exist…

She hadn't even reached the front door when he appeared in front of her. She came to a sudden stop, almost crashing into him.

"What… What do you… want from me?" she panted heavily, trying to calm her madly-racing heart.

Slowly, he leaned over her and rushed a cold finger against her cheek. She stiffened. Electricity seemed to form on her skin, and the surged through her veins. It hurt, but at the same time she loved the sensation.

"I want your body," he whispered into her ear.

She knew immediately what he meant. Not her body, in that filthy way most people would think. He wanted Eva back, and he needed a body to contain her.

Hers.

"That's right," Chase smirked when he saw the understanding dawn in Raven's eyes. "You're her reincarnation."

Raven had read plenty of supernatural books. Her being Eva's reincarnation would explain their resemblance. But two souls could not inhabit one body. For Eva to live…

Raven would have to die.

"You're going to kill me," she whispered hoarsely.

"Yes," he agreed.

It happened so quickly. Raven had barely the time to blink away the tear that had crept to her eye when Chase's hand shot out.

And then darkness was all she knew.
