Prologue

" You really want to kill me, huh?" he looked deep into her eyes. He saw almost no regret. He sighed.

"Please do me one favor..." he asked, imploringly. He saw her look up into his face, "And what's that, Marc Make it quick… I don't have time.." she replied coldly, yet there was something in her voice that he couldn't get.

"Roxanne...Roxanne...don't forget me, up there or down here. Please don't forget me." he looked down, as he felt some of the tears starting to surface. She looked away, fighting back tears as well, "…I won't. Same goes for you." They both stood there knowing, both of them fighting back their unwanted tears, both ready for what was going to happen.

After a while, they looked back at each other. Loving and hating the sight in front of them.

"Ready?" he asked, eyes dry, hard, and dark.

"Set?" she said, cold, and piercing complexion.

"Go!" she said, pulling out her weapon, a long sword.

He responded to that by his own, and at the right time. She came at him, and had taken a brilliant swing at him, to take off his head. But he blocked her off. There they were face to face, with only their swords keeping them apart. She could see his pale eyes glittering with pain and agony. She pushed him away, in fear, she might break.

They took turns, taking deadly swings at each other. Swords and thoughts running wild in every direction, 'Why? Why do we have to do this? Without war...Without pain... Why does it have to end like this?...'

Finally, after what seemed like a hour, Marc swung an unusually hard swing at her, taking them both off balance. They fell and were on the ground but they continued to fight.

Marc had his sword pressed against Roxanne's neck. "This is it, isn't it? he asked her, quietly. "Not yet..." she replied. "I'm sorry. But one of us has to die." he said, pushing his sword deeper, to cut at her flesh. Flesh, which he had learned to love.

"And it won't be me..." she said softly, throwing a gas bomb.

Marc stood up. He knew she wasn't gone. But she hasn't disappeared yet.

As soon, as she had thrown it, Roxanne leapt up, pulled out her knife, and threw it in the direction Marc was in.

The smoke had cleared quickly as the dagger cut through the air, in the path to Marc's heart.

He looked up. She was just there, staring at him, catching her breath. He knew. He lost. He was going to die. He had already felt himself starting to disappear.

He gave Roxanne a small parting nod. Then vanished.

Roxanne stood there, unable to analyze what had just happened. It was all too fast.

She turned around and started to walk away. But after a minute, she started running faster and faster. Unable to grasp the truth yet.

She slowed down alittle, feeling the need to cry. But once she started, she couldn't stop. Finally, she stopped running, collapsed on a nearby tree, and cried her heart out.

( Flashback)

They were standing there, face to face. "You know what this means, don't you?" Marc asked her. Roxanne looked away and nodded, "You know the rules..No mercy, and only act upon instinct. We fight, with everything, anything we've got. And... we fight 'till death." she said slowly, afraid to hurt him. "When one of us dies, the other doesn't ever, ever look back. We leave, leave and continue our lives." he continued. She nodded.

They stood there, unable to say anything. Until, he took a step closer and had said, " Roxanne, can I hug you…it's the last time." She looked at him, he had tears in his eyes. Roxanne didn't answer, afraid to say anything that would cause all the tears to come out. He stepped closer, and wrapped his arms around her. Roxanne rested her head on his broad shoulders, hugging him back. " Why does it have to end like this?" she asked him quietly.

(End of Flashback)

"Rieeeeeeeeeee!" (Roxanne's nickname) Shallow screamed, the first minute she saw Roxanne, as she walked through the door. " Riieeeeeeeeee, where have you been? God, if panic were a disease, I'd be dead. Where the hallo where you?" Shallow demanded pointing a finger at Roxanne, who was still hanging up her coat by her locker.

"Shell (Shallow's nickname), don't you mean HELL?" asked Mirian. Shallow let out an ear-splitting scream. Roxanne and Mirian cringed, it was loud.

Shallow backed to the wall, gasping, pointing at Mirian, " She has said it.. she has said the word."

Mirian rolled her eyes, "What, HELL?"

Shallow screamed again, covering her ears, " say not the word." "HELL, HELL, HELL!" on and on they went again.

" You guys, where's Lita?" Reyanne asked timidly. Shallow had her ears covered so she didn't seem to hear. "Mir (Mirian's nickname)? Where's Lita?" Mirian looked at her and shrugged her shoulders, "Uhhh... check outside. Or the gym. I'm not sure , but it's got to be either one." then she went on back to screaming 'hell' at Shallow.

Roxanne saw a small figure by the memorial, Laurett's (Lita's her nickname) favorite spot. "Lita!" she called, before running up to her. The red head looked at her, and smiled, "They're still having a go at each other, huh?" Roxanne nodded and sat herself beside her. Then she rested her head on her knees. " Something happened with Marc?" Laurett asked timidly. Roxanne looked up to meet her friend's glassy green eyes. "Yeah, I killed him." Roxanne managed to cough up, before breaking into renewed tears. Laurett sighed, looked at her friend, and put her arm around her. "Rie, you knew this had to happen. It was either you or him. He'd probably let you live." Slowly, Reyanne stopped crying. "Yeah, it had to happen."

(Flashback)

Ringg...Ring... the bell rang. Signaling for class to end. All the students got up and headed for their next class. Outside in the hall was crowded and stuffy with students. Roxanne was at her locker, fumbling around to look for her history text book. "Stupid text. I don't know why I need you. Ahh, found you." Suddenly, the locker door slammed shut, making Roxanne jump. She looked to see which unlucky idiot will receive her wrath today. Her eyes widened with surprise. There he was, Marc. Giving her that smirk, which won him the hearts of many young girls. All except Roxanne, that is.

"No, Marc.. I'm not giving you my notes for history, I'm not giving you my math homework, I'm not lending you my English review, and I don't have extra money for "lunch." There. Anything I missed?"

Marc made a pouting face, mocking her, "Yeah you did."

Roxanne rolled her eyes, and turned around to walk away, " Really? What?" She said behind her shoulder.

Then, he grabbed her by the arms, and shoved her against the locker. Students started looking at them. "You're nice today..." he whispered sarcastically to her ear before burying his head in her neck.

"Marc, let go. Students are looking, and what do you want?" But all the response she got was a soft moan and small kiss on her neck. "Marc, let-" she was cut off by, "I'm hungry. Feed me..."

Roxanne got pissed. "Okay, then. Eat this!" she punched him in the nose, before walking away. "What an IDIOT!" she thought, then got even more pissed when she remembered the kiss he gave her neck. Unconsciously, she touched it, softly.

(End of Flashback.)

(Another Flashback)

Roxanne couldn't sleep. She drank too much caffeine at the party. "Screw this alll!" she stood up, from her chair. Then slowly walked out of the room.

She spotted her friends (Shallow, Mirian, and Laurett.) in the main room. Shallow and Laurett were asleep on a couch. Mirian was reading a book. She peered through the top of her book, inquiring silently, "Where're you going?"

"I'll just go out for a while." Roxanne said.

"Come back in an hour, or I'll think something happened." she disappeared behind her book.

Roxanne went out into the main balcony, just outside the main hall. It was cool, with the breeze. Roxanne sighed. It was a beautiful night and the moon and stars were out.

"Looks like Ms. Crabby, here, had the same idea, I did." a familiar voice came out.

She snapped, and turned around. She couldn't make out who it was, since it was dark. "Who are you.. and what do you want?"

Then suddenly, she realized it was Marc. She sneered slightly, "Oh it's you…." Then she gave him her back, "What do you want this time…?"

He smirked, "What's wrong..?" he took a step closer, "But it's not everyday that I see a moody, grumpy girl looking out to space..."

She laughed, sarcastically, "Not even. If you don't know, don't even try. You look like an idiot.."

He walked, until he was right in behind her, no hint of smile. "Don't get smart with me." he whispered dangerously.

She turned around and faced him, and cocked an eyebrow, "I can do whatever I want."

In a second, he had her cornered to the wall to the side, holding her hands above her head. "What did you say?" he drew his face closer to hers.

Roxanne glared at him, "Let me go." She said coolly..

He just inched closer, "Why? You scared? You know, I think you should apologize for yesterday. You punch real hard..."

She just sneered at him, " Really? But you know, when you think about it, it wasn't me who started it..."

" What? So you're saying that I deserved it?", he squeezed her wirsts tighter. She tried to hide it as she winced alittle, but was unsuccessful.

He laughed softly, "Hurts, doesn't it?"

"What…do you want..?" She looked up, and numbly realized how close his face was.

Attempting to back away, she leaned against the wall behind her, and turned her head slightly.

"What do I want? What do I want? Well, simply put...You." he whispered.

Roxanne faced him, slightly shocked, just as he softly pressed their lips together.

Chapter 1: As we meet once again..

A year after Roxanne killed Marc

" Roxanne, you there?" Mirian asked, through the head phone. "Roxanne, we're in the middle of a mission. You can't freeze up like that. Are you still with us?"

"Yes. yes. yes. I know." She hissed back, "Shallow, give me the description of the target again."

" Height: approximately 5, 9. Weight: about 130. Slim built, but slightly muscular. White blond hair, light gold highlights. Face build: slim. Complexion: face: pale. Eye colour: light gray." She replied, looking at the screen to make sure.

Roxanne hesitated, " Shallow? Do you have the race? OR species?"

"Well.." Shallow said, through the head phone, " Race, Not Available. Species..." she paused.

" Shallow, what is it. I need to know."

" Vampire..."

Roxanne smirked, "Good. Thank you, Shallow."

" Laurett. Are you within the perimeter?" Reyanne heard Mirian say.

"Yeah. Now I am. Roxanne, are you ready?" Laurett asked.

"Yes. Shallow can you give me the age range of the target, please."

"Age range 14-18. That's all the information on him."

" Thanks Shallow. Mirian, give us the coordinates. Targets, and ours." Laurett said, getting nervous.

"Right. Roxanne, you are at : 4th floor. Point 3,T. Laurett, you are at: 4th floor point 2,M. Target is at: 4th floor point 3,R. Roxanne you are the closest to target." Mirian said, "Oh yeah. We have 10 mins. to make the capture. Can you make it?"

Roxanne sighed, "I'm doing my best. O.K.?"

"O.K. then, Good Luck both of you." Mirian said taking a deep breath.

"Roxanne, I'll cover for you." Laurett whispered into the headphone.

"Thanks" Roxanne replied, as she quietly slipped into the room where the target was. But the minute she landed, she was roughly pushed to the wall.

"Trying to capture me?" a male voice whispered dangerously. He held her by the arms, so she couldn't move much.

"Laurett, I need your help." Roxanne said into her head phone. She heard her reply faintly, " Hold on. I'll be there as soon as I can." before the headphone was forcefully ripped from her ear.

" You're not going anywhere..." he said to her softly. " Really, and why is that?" she said, just as softly. He snickered alittle, "Why, because I'm hungry. Feed me."

(Deja Vu)

" I'm hungry. Feed me."

(End of Deja Vu)

Quietly, she felt around for her knife. Reaching it, she lunged at him with it. He backed away from her, and into the light. As she stopped to catch her breath, she didn't realize that he has stopped cold, staring at her.

"R- Roxanne?"

She froze, then slowly looked up and gasped.

There he was. Marc… staring down at her, with the most shocked expression.

Her mind went blank. Unable to say anything. She felt happy, she felt sad, she felt angry, she was just plain confused. The shock of it all, in addition to the sudden heat, made her dizzy. She was about to pass out, when she faintly felt strong hands pull her up to her feet and into a warm embrace. She was in safety's arms and nothing could hurt her. After realizing that, she passed out.

There.. the first chapter..
