One Week Later...

Threnody leaped of Billy-Ray's back as he emerged from the ground chewing on one of those pain relief leaves. He waved good-bye to Threnody as she walked into the park. She had a smile on her face as she walked through the park towards the play area. She saw a boy on the swings his hair bright yellow and cut shorter.

She snuck around the back of him and waited. He turned in time to see her jump out of the bushes onto his back. "Did I frighten you?" He laughed,

"You're getting better. When Asphyxiate getting here?"

"I don't know. She sorta turns up when she wants to. She's like a cat they only come when they want to."

"Oh ok." He sat down on the swing again and Threnody climbed off his back and sat on the swing next to him. "So, what's it like living with a psycho?"

"He's not a psycho." Damien looked at her, "Well ok, maybe just a little. But yeah it's cool. Tanith is teaching me how to fight with my sword properly."

"I'd better be careful when I pick a fight with you now then."

"Yeah, but I would never hit you with my sword. I reserve that for only the best."

"Oh you're so nice." Time passed and it looked like Asphyxiate wasn't turning up, "Wanna go play find Dusk. He going to be hanging round here somewhere." Therenody shrugged

"Ah what the hell." They snuck around the park looking up every tree and in every bush. Soon they split up. Threnody looked around then suddenly got this feeling that she was being watched. She smiled, then sat down and scanned the area. There was a nice view of a lake here. She hummed the tune to Bittersweet, then started singing, "Everything I do is Bittersweet, you could tell me secrets that I'll probably repeat, I'm not trying to hurt you I just love to speak, it feels like we're pulling teeth, So Bittersweet." She looked and saw Damien and he walked over to her and sat down next to her.

"Heard you were looking for me." Came a bitter voice, Threnody turned around and Dusk was standing an inch away from her. She stumbled back and did a backward roll over the top of the hill and kept rolling. Then she met the cold embrace of the lake at the bottom of the hill. She could hear Damien laughing at the top of the hill from under the water.

She trudged back up the hill and walked over to Damien. She picked him up by the collar of his shirt and threw him down the hill. But he grabbed onto her leg so she slid down with him, back into the lake. Since they were both already ewet they stayed in the lake.

They were in the middle of an epic water fight, when the park owner came over and threw them out the park.

"What is the point of having a lovely lake if you can't even swim in it?" Damien cursed as they sat on the curb outside the park. It was starting to get late, and cold. Damien wrapped his arm around Threnody when she started shivering. She wrapped her arms around him. Her head rested on his shoulder,

"I dunno. Maybe they are crazy. Or maybe they don't want their precious little lake to get peed in by some kid." Damien rested his head on top of hers. "Damien, what did you do to Dusk to make him hate you?" Damien laughed,

"I found out where he lived and decorated his room Twilight style. He got pissed when he found 'Damien was here' written very small behind one of the posters." Threnody laughed,

"Ok that beats dying his hair bright pink while he slept then cutting it really short."

"He still hasn't dyed it back. Maybe he likes it." They laughed and soon they were on their backs rolling round on the pavement. Threnody's phone rang she answered it

"Hello?" Damien heard Tanith on the other end of the phone, "Yeah, Ok." Threnody laughed, "Ok bye." Damein frowned,

"You have to go don't you?" Threnody nodded. He stood up and brushed the dust off himself. "I'll walk you home." They walked down the street and for some random reason Damien started singing, "Snape, Snape, Severus Snape," So Threnody jumped in with the,

"Dumbledore!" And it continued until they got to Billy-Ray and Tanith's house. They hugged goodbye and Threnody walked inside. Damien sighed, now he was alone.

Threnody walked in and the living room door was open, inside was Billy-Ray and Tanith making out, "Ew getta room!" Billy walked up,

"We have one." He said before shutting the door. Threnody walked up the stairs to her room. She went in the shower and dried off before putting on her pj's. She sat in her bed picked up her Morganville vampires book (Lord of Misrule) and continued reading.

When she next looked at the clock, it was 10 o'clock. She placed her book by her bedside table and fell asleep. She awoke from the sound of music playing downstairs. When she opened her eyes there was a note stuck to her forehead. It read, Important meeting that couldn't be missed with Billy. Have to meet Val to discuss things. Be back, whenever ;)

Xx Tanith. Threnody smiled, a whole day to herself. She read over the note again, and saw that there was something else written at the bottom, P.S. don't try anything. Dusk is still watching you. Have a nice day ^.^ Billy-Ray.

Threnody got up and walked downstairs. She walked into the living room and the TV was on 4 Music. She looked around the living room confused, and then heard someone walk up behind her. She turned and round house kicked whoever it was behind her, she went to punch when a hand came up and stopped it.

"Jesus Christ Damien! Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"It's ok. God you have quite a kick on you."

"Don't you remember from all those times I kicked your ass?" He looked her in the eye and smiled. Then punched her and wicked smile playing on his lips Threnody giggled and punched him back. He tripped her then caught her round the waist, "Well, that's new." She said confused. He picked up the remote and channel to Classical FM. He lifted her so that she was standing and started slow dancing with her, "Damien what has come over you?" He shrugged and twirled her around as she raised an eyebrow.

"Just thought I would try a different approach with something." His, now purple, hair fell over his fore head, giving him a devilish look.

"With what?" He smiled at her the song ended he dipped her low,

"Having you as a girlfriend." He came in and kissed her. Threnody couldn't help it, Lighting by the Wanted played (Well the chorus bit). Her knees weakened and threatened to let her fall, but Damien's arm wrapped around her waist tighter and his hand trailed through her hair and rested at the back of her head. He stopped and looked her in the eyes. She stood upright and swallowed. She ran her hand through her hair. He frowned, "Sorry." His hands dropped back to his sides, but she grabbed them and put them back where they were,

"What the fuck are you sorry for?" Threnody kissed him and held him close her hands wrapped around his neck. The kiss deepened his tongue and hers dancing together in a passionate tango. She breathed out and he groaned wrapping his arms around her more tightly. Their lips parted his head buried into her neck,

"So, how about it?"He murmured when she didn't answer he looked up and saw her red face and looked where she was looking. A very disturbed Asphyxiate stood in the doorway his eyes widened, "Um. This is awkward. How much did you see?" Asphyxiate wretched and ran to the bathroom. "She knows how to spoil a perfect moment" He murmured and faced her; Threnody looked at him and blushed biting her bottom lip. "So, what do you say?" Threnody stroked her imaginary beard in thought and smiled at Damien,

"Of course." She looked down at herself and saw that she was still in her pyjamas, "Um, one moment I'm going to get dressed and stuff." He kept hold of her hand as she went to walk out of the room but his grip was loose so she got away easily.

She ran up to her room and shut the door she leaned up against it when she realised what had just happened. She had been asked out for the first time and just her first kiss, "Wow. That happened." She smiled and walked toward her wardrobe and picked out her clothes.

She looked in the mirror; she had chosen to wear denim skinny jeans and an orange tank top. She tied her hair back and sprayed on her Avril Lavigne Black Star perfume before walking downstairs.

She walked in the living room and Asphyxiate was sitting on the settee when she saw Threnody she smiled a sumg smile,

"Well, I see you two are 'friends' now." Threnody rolled her eyes and sat next to Damien.

"Hello, Asphyxiate. What brings you to my humble abode?"

"Well, we need to do something back in Wales and I need your help. I guess we could stop at Mickey's to get you some new 'work clothes' you may need them."

"We are going to be fighting some good guys aren't we?" Threnody raised an eyebrow,

"Well yes. Most probably because, y'know wanted for murder here!" Threnody's eyes widened the back of her throat went dry. Asphyxiate had murdered someone? She swallowed,

"Who'd you kill?" She shrugged,

"My parents." She said bluntly, no emotion. Nothing just like she stepped on a spider or squished a fly, nothing important. Threnody smiled, and then laughed. It had to be a joke; she couldn't have killed her parents. Asphyxiate looked at her confused when she started laughing. Threnody stopped,

"You can't be serious."

"Yeah I am serious."

"Why did you kill your parents?" She leaned back in her chair,

"My mum kept secrets; my dad drank the last of the Lucozade. Enough said." They stared at her blankly mouths open slightly. "What?"

"You can't just kill your parents!"

"Well I did now get over it. I am also wanted for all those other people I tortured to death." Threnody rubbed her hands over her face,

"Right Ok then. So when are we leaving, how long are we going for. And I'll have to tell Bill-Ray and Tanith." Asphyxiate had stood up while Threnody had been talking and had walked over to the window where the blinds were shut,

"Oh he already knows," She opened the blinds to find Dusk sitting on a rock outside reading something looking extremely bored, "Isn't that right Dusk?" he nodded not taking his eyes up from the book. She shut the blinds and walked back over to Threnody, "My jet leaves in half an hour. Meet me in the park in 25 minutes. Got it?" Threnody nodded and showed Asphyxiate to the door.

Damien wrapped his arms around her,

"So, you're leaving for a few days or something." Threnody turned,

"Yeah. Don't worry I'll be fine! I have Dusk and Billy-Ray and...Yeah that's it."

"What about Scapegrace?"

"He's more of a brotherly figure than fighter." He nodded,

"True, true." He looked her in the eyes, "I'm gonna miss you y'know." She raised an eyebrow,

"You have officially been my boyfriend for about 20 minutes and you are saying that you'll miss me?"

"I don't just miss you because I am your boyfriend. I always miss you when you're gone." She shook her head,

"I have to go pack." She walked up the stairs and went to pack.


Ooooooo. Best friend is a muderer. How will that turn out? Also I hate it in books when two people become a couple and they are all like, 'I'll miss you' and stuff when they have litarally just become a couple. I mean, you could say 'I'll miss you.' to a guy friend and a girl friend. I don't know. I just blalaalalalal :P. So, yes there is going to be a fight scene soon! Bet you can't wait!
