A/N: Here we go, my first fanfic for The Forbidden Game. How exciting! I randomly started typing this, so I have no idea how the story will turn out XD I'm sure I'll come up with something, though. I always do.

Disclaimer: The Forbidden Game series and its characters belong to L.J. Smith, not me. Even though I really really really wish Julian was mine, and I really really really wish that Tom would die a violent death :)

Haha enjoy :)

A Second Chance At Life
~chapter one~

"Jenny . . . I love you, Jenny . . ."

Jenny sighed, remembering the sound of his voice. It was elemental, beautiful. Incomparable.

She remembered the startling blue of his eyes, the precise color of the sky in the seconds before dawn. Indescribable.

The shock of white hair that fell into his eyes, like a delicate frosting of snow. Indelible.

Him. Julian. Irreplaceable.

Truth be told, she missed him. She told herself over and over that she should just forget Julian, forget The Game. But it was impossible.

Julian had become a part of Jenny's life, an important one at that. Though, he'd been important because she'd thought of him as pure evil, and he'd tried to keep her with him in the Shadow World.

But now . . .

Now that she'd seen how truly amazing he really was, he'd been constantly on her mind.

It was to the point now when she'd think she'd hear him whispering to her, and she'd think, I'm going completely nuts.

But today . . . today had been different.

She could've sworn that she'd felt the gentle caress of his fingers against her cheek, felt the warmth of his breath as he whispered words of affection in her ear. She was determined to prove to herself that she actually felt and heard him.

So she stood, tall and proud, in her backyard.

"Julian," she whispered. "Are you here?"

"Jenny," he breathed, and she felt his fingers on her bare back.

Her eyes closed, and she smiled. "I knew I wasn't going crazy. I knew it," she murmured, luxuriating in the warmth of his voice.

"Jenny . . . open your eyes, Jenny."

She opened her eyes, expecting to find Julian.

Instead, she found Tom, his green-flecked brown eyes looking worriedly into hers.

"Jenny, why are you standing in the middle of your yard with your eyes closed?" he asked.

Jenny chuckled nervously. "Just enjoying the weather, Tommy," she lied, faking a smile.

Tom smiled. "Yeah, it is nice and warm out today," he agreed, looking around.

"So what are you doing here? I didn't know you were coming."

Tom shrugged. "I dunno. I was bored, so I figured I'd come and hang with you, Thorny."

"Oh" was her brilliant response.

In truth, she'd wanted to be alone so that maybe, just maybe, she could prove that Julian was with her.

But she couldn't be rude. Not to Tom.

If Julian really was here, though, she'd have to end things with Tom. She couldn't stay with him, not when she could be with Julian.

Long after Tom had left and Jenny was already lying in bed, she heard him again.

"Jenny . . . I'm here, Jenny . . ."

"Julian?" she mumbled, half asleep. Her eyes slid closed on their own, and Jenny was powerless against them.

"Please, Jenny, open your eyes," the beautiful voice pleaded, and Jenny couldn't deny it.

Her eyes slowly opened. She saw the outline of a man in the darkness.

"Julian?" she said again, hoping she wasn't imagining things. "Is that you?"

The figure stepped forward, and he was illuminated by the moonlight that was flooding in through her window.

She was met by familiar blue eyes and white hair.

"Oh, Jenny . . . you have no idea how much I've missed you," he murmured, stepping over to brush her hair from her face.

Her eyes watered. "How are you here? I mean, you died. In my arms. Isn't that a little hard to come back from?"

Julian chuckled softly. "More than a little. I don't know how, or why, but I've been given a second chance. A chance to live life as a human," he explained, stroking her cheek with his thumb.

Jenny sat up. "Really?" she asked, amazed.

He nodded. "I had to wait for you to acknowledge me fully for me to be whole again. God, it's been torture waiting."

"I'm sorry, Julian. I thought that I was just going crazy at first. If I would've known . . ." she trailed off, gazing into the eyes she loved so much. "I love you," she said clearly, knowing it was true.

Julian smiled. "I love you too." And then he leaned in, touching his lips lightly to hers, kissing her sweetly. But Jenny didn't want sweet. She wanted the wild, passionate, slow kisses that she was used to from Julian. So she leaned in further and reached up to tangle one of her hands in his hair, hoping he'd get the message.

He did.

He kissed her more deeply, his arms snaking around her waist and pulling her flush against him. His lips were warm against hers, and she nearly melted.

When they pulled away, he leaned his forehead against hers. "You're tired, Jenny. Sleep. I'll still be here tomorrow," he said softly.

"Do you promise?" she asked, knotting her fingers in his shirt.

He chuckled. "I promise."
