Prologue

"Gabriel no! Gabriel no! Gabriel! NO!"

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When Bennett cut his throat, I thought I'd lost him forever.

I sat down next to his body and wrapped my arms around my self and rested my head on my arms.

3 hours passed.

I never noticed the light outside growing stronger, the moon sliding away from the sun, the end of the eclipse.

I never noticed the wound on his throat closing.

I never noticed his first gasp as he returned to life.

I never noticed anything at all until I felt his arms wrap around me.

I thought I was dreaming, hallucinating, until I looked into his eyes.

(And even then I wasn't sure)

"Elle," he whispered, "Elle its okay. I'm okay."

"Gabriel.'

The cold metal draws across my throat. Some pain, but not too much. Falling, then black.

My final thought before I die?

'I hope he doesn't go after Elle.'

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3 hours passed.

I gasp for breath.

I'm alive.

But... Elle!

I sit up and she's right there, next to me.

She's curled herself into a ball, holding herself. She's quiet.

I move closer and wrap my arms around her.

She turns to look at me, she's been crying. Oh.

"Elle," I whisper, "Elle its okay. I'm okay."

"Gabriel.'
