A Change and Some Fun

Taylor Swift's POV

"Jade! Jade wake up! Shit! I'm sorry! Just please, please wake up!" Oh god what have I done? Jade lies motionless beneath me, blood seeping from the wound I made in her chest. How could I loose control? How could I be so stupid? "Jade, WAKE UP!" Tears stream down my face and land on hers. How could I have done something like this? This was my only chance! I ruined everything! I move over and lie down beside her, ignoring the blood getting into my hair. I close my eyes and pray for the first time in a long time. "God. I know I've messed up lately. Gone down the wrong path. I have just one last wish, if you would grant it. Let her live." The last word comes out as a sob and I choke back tears. I close my eyes and HOPE. Before I know it I've fallen into a tearful sleep.

"Grrrrrrrrr..." I'm awakened by a growl from above. My eyes fly open and I am greeted by a very angry and hungry Criatura. Jade looks at me through red eyes and I recognize a dangerous fire behind them. She opens her mouth and smiles a fanged smile. She lets the blood drip down from her chin onto my face. I try to move but I realize she's pinned me down, arms and all. There's no where to run and I know there is no stopping her. "You've made a terrible mistake." She throws my words back in my face.

"Listen...um...I'm really sorry, I didn't realize what I was doing. I have some anger management problems, but I'm getting better." I fake a smile and struggle to get free.

"You are not going anywhere until you finish what you started." She gets up and takes me with her. Suddenly we're standing in the middle of the room, shoulders tensed and hands open and ready. "I will DESTROY you!" She takes a flying leap and tackles me to the ground. I turn in the air and push her underneath me. "ROAARRR!" She throws me off and I land gracefully across the room. My eyes turn and my teeth elongate. I am ready. "Oh, good. Evening the game are we?" Jade smiles and spits blood.

"This is what you call a fight? I feel fine!" I taunt her and cut her stomach open with my claws.

"GAHHH!" She quickly retaliates with a slash across my face. I turn and relax into defensive position. "I guess you'll have some explaining to do when you go out into the spotlight eh, Taylor?" She smiles and wipes her black hair from her face.

"Whatever do you mean?" I smile as I feel the wounds healing just as quickly as they came. Jade looks at me with pure rage.

"That's not fair!" She lunges at me, her claws slicing the air. Ignoring the way her stomach is spilling its contents everywhere, she lands a flying Spartan kick to my chest. I fly back and she lands perfectly balanced on top of me. "I will win this!" She plunges her foot into my chest and I can feel my ribs crack as she forces it through. Beautiful pain rushes through me and I forget how to breathe. She removes her foot with a devastating crunch and I remain on the ground. Ow.

"Okay, okay, you win." I ignore the anger surging inside me and decide to give her this one. She smiles and starts to walk away when something makes her stop.

"What's that smell?" Jade sniffs the air and turns her eyes towards me. I sit up and sniff the air along with her. "It smells...good." She rushes to my side with blinding speed and I realize what she's smelling. It's me. My blood, and I realize she has gone past hungry and into desperation. I throw her away and sprint to the door. I blink and suddenly she blocks my path. "It's you." She cocks her head curiously and licks her blood stained lips. My wounds start to heal and I start to realize something even more disturbing.

I'm just as hungry as she is.
