Heavy drops of water hit the top of my head as I walked outside in the cascading storm. The rain with mixed with my tears, making it look like I was just walking, not crying.

The garden in the back of the large mansion I lived in was beautiful. I didn't go out often, sense my love told me it wasn't safe outside. I trusted him in the words he said, as all he wanted to do was to protect me.

But the outside was such a marvelous place, flowers, animals, scents, everything was so delectable to the eyes. Even rain, something must people hate, was in a way, beautiful. Leaning down to a rose bush on the cobble stone path, I took in the scent of a red rose.

More rain fell, harder this time on me. But I didn't care; I was enjoying myself for a first in a long time. I continued my walk down the path, leading to large willow tree. It looked so peaceful in that perfect setting, with the flowers encircling the tree. Walking to it, I sat down under the tree closing my eyes, listening to the rain.

I felt more tears slide down my face, dripping off my chin. Why was I crying? I was happy. I had love, beauty, and friends. I don't see why these tears are here streaming down my cheeks.

You're lying to yourself.

I knew I was. I knew that I didn't have everything that my selfish soul desired. But I thought if I told myself over and over again that I would start to believe it. I was wrong. I still was missing that one thing I desired most.

"You are a vampire." He said to me, looking at me intently with those eyes of his.

"Yes…" I said quietly, realizing the truth.

"We cannot live in the same world together any longer." He said, he voice cold. My heart thumped unevenly to the words, sadly knowing he was right.

"However, one day I will…I will…have to kill you." Were the words that left his pale lips. I braced myself to hold back the sobs that were already in my throat. I knew he would eventually have to do this, but it still shook me.

"Yes…I'll be waiting." I said, trying to cover my sadness with an even voice.

I started to realize that I was sobbing and shaking horribly. I wanted to be held by him, being told everything was going to be fine, to just comfort me.

But I was not to have that pleasure, as I chose my fate. I chose to stand my other precious person, even though I die a little every day from being here. But I will keep on doing it if it keeps him with a reason to live. To find me, to corner me, and to kill me. So I'll keep running, and running and running till I can't run anymore.

Wind blew against my long hair, making it quiver. I hugged myself and let out another sob. It was about time I unleashed the emotions I kept bottled for the last year now. Tremors went throughout my body, making me squeeze my eyes tighter.

I was about to get up to run to my room, but those lavender eyes appeared in my head, causing me to scream in agony.

"ZERO!"
