The sun woke me up, and I was surprisingly happy. But I was still a little worried about Marc. I didn't like the fact that he liked me…I was worried about the dream too… Did Michael saw it too? Before I could worry about it more my alarm went off. I got up with my shower stuff and went to the bathroom. I took a shower while the water was running I decided… It was time to tell my friends about Michael and m dad as well. I should of warned my dad slowly to Michael, but is too late for that now. I went to my room with my towel rolled in my body. I look at my favorite closet looking for something to wear. I found a shirt with a really pretty shirt and put it with my favorite converse. I grabbed the books on my night stand and put it on my back pack and went to the kitchen.

"Hey dad." I sat down on the table with my plate waiting for me.

"Hey hon. So what did you do on the weekend being all by yourself?"

"Hmmm." I had a guilty face…

"You went to the forest?" He was tomato red with anger. "You swore you weren't going to go."

"No dad. That's not why I have a guilty face." He sigh relieve.

"Then what's wrong?"

"I went to the mall…" I started lying…

"Oh honey that's not a crime.." He laughed.

"I went by my self dad." He was still laughing.

"That's ok in my book sweet heart."

"I met a boy on the mall… dad." And he stopped laughing.

"What's his name?" He said kind of mad.

"Michael." I said in a whisper.

"WHAT?" He stood up from the table putting both hands on the table to glare at me… "From those freaks that live in the woods… where the girls keep disappearing from?"

"What?" I was so surprise my dad knew about them…

"I been keeping you away from the news… Is not hard since you don't watch it anyways…"

"Dad?"

"Jane. NO! And that is final." I stood up and grabbed my car keys and went to the door really mad. But my dad grabbed me by my bag back. "From this moment on you are grounded young lady. You just lost your car privilege, your forest privilege." I glared at him… That's why he always freak out whenever I went to the forest…. He walked out to my car and went to the driver seat turning the car on… I stood at the door looking at him in disbelieve. I was going to put on a protest, when I stare at the forest for a second… Michael was there and told me with his eyes to go to school. I went to the passenger seat, sat down and close the door with unnecessary force…

"Hon?"

"Don't talk to me!" He drop it, and just drove me to school. When we arrive at the school I got out slamming the door and stormed inside the school… But I looked out the window waiting for my dad to leave… I started leaving the school, but Samantha grabbed my arm I stared at her, and frown at me.

"Where you looking for us?" Emily was next to her, looking just as confuse.

"Because you know where we wait for you…"

"I know guys… I wasn't looking for you."

"What's wrong?" They both said at the same time…

"I was coming today to explain to you guys everything, but my dad ruin it. I'm skipping class today." They opened their mouth to argue, but I interrupted them… "Guys. Just go to my house today after school. I'll explain everything there… As for right now I have to go…" Samantha let go of my arm and I went outside. Michael was waiting for me on my motorcycle. I stared at the motorcycle and walked right pass him. "Oh no, I prefer to walk." He grabbed my arm as I passed him and with a swift maneuver he put me behind him. I took a hold of his waist. He put a motorcycle hat on my head and took off… I closed my eyes and let out a small scream. After a couple of minutes we were at our beach. He help me get out.

"What's wrong?" He stop us inches away from the water. "Why are you so piss?" I turned to look at the water but he didn't let me…

"I told my dad about you… well I told him we met at the mall… I wanted him to meet you…" He smiled sweetly…

"Why so angry?"

"He knows about the girls… disappearing in the woods… He prohibit me to ever see you again… To see you again I would have to start skipping school like today…"

"Not a choice."

"I got enough with my dad controlling me. I don't nee you doing it too…"

"How are you going to skip, if I don't wait for you?" I glared at him. Two can play that game.

"I'll skip class anyways… Marcs seem to take a liking towards me… maybe he'll offer me a ride." He got so angry his eyes turned yellow, and stayed like that. He started shaking…

"Don't joke like that Jane." He said thru gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry." I sigh. "Please don't control me… don't act like my dad…" He sigh calming his self down, his yes turning back to green.

"I'm not controlling you, but your dad has the right to be worried about you… you know why those girls disappeared… They got controlled by Marc, killed their soul mate, and once they found out…"

"They killed them self… yeah you told me… But I cant stay away from you.." He took a step back.

"This is my fault… I shouldn't showed my self… I should of listen to my father…" I glared at him.

"Is too late now… don't disappear please…" He hugged me.

"I'll talk to your dad. I'll get him to like me." I nodded, and hug him back. We hung at the beach forgetting about our worries for a little bit… When school was about to be over, he dropped me back at the school. My dad was there so I walked towards his car. Michael told me he was going to talk to my dad tonight….

"How was school?" I ignored him… "Come on your still angry?"

"I have some visitors coming to the house, or they are not aloud?"

"Hon-"

"Are they?"

"Of course you can have your friends over. Your just not aloud to see they guy.." I didn't say anything. I could see my father was getting frustrated. We finally arrive at the house. I got out of the car. He tried to talk to me but I ignored him. I tried opening it with my key, but it didn't work.. I kick the door angry.

"Is for your own good." He said opening the door. I stormed in. I went to my room and slammed the door… I notice I couldn't lock it… My dad walked in. "Hon-"

"Leave me alone!" He got irritated.

"Look if this boy comes and talks to me, I'll give him a chance." I looked at him skeptically.

"You swear?"

"I swear honey. I want you to be happy. Now can your father have a hug."

"No." I crossed my arms around my chest. "No until you talk to Michael."

"When is he coming?"

I looked at the clock. "Now." I ran to the door just in time when he started knocking.

"That's weird." I opened the door and Michal come in. He was wearing blue jeans and a white shirt.

"I'm Michael." He extended his hands towards my dad. "It's a pleasure meeting you."

"I'm Sam Madison." He shook his hands. We walked towards the living room. Michael sat on the sofa my father pointed out. "I heard you like my daughter." He sat down staring at Michael.

"Yes sir, that's true." Michael gave him a polite smile.

"From only one day?" My dad said skeptically.

"Well she's the smartest, person I ever met, and I wanted to see more of her…"

"So your hear for my approval?"

"Yes, I would like to spend an hour a day with her. Of course with your supervision."

"One hour?" I asked mad. That made them laugh. "Do I get a saying in this?"

"No." They said at the same time.

"I'm sorry sir…"

"No don't be sorry. I'm starting to like you Michael. Did Jane told you she's grounded?"

"Yes sir. I understand your reasons and have to agree with you. But let me tell you the rumors in the news are lies…"

My dad smiled. "I'm starting to believe that."

"Can I make a suggestion sir?"

"Of course."

"Why not just make a deal with Jane about grounding thing." I stared at Michael suspiciously…

"I'm listening."

"Jane told me about her fascination with the forest close by…"

"Yes?" My dad was the suspicious one now.

"Instead of being one month grounded she just cant go to the forest anymore, and believe me sir I will tell you if she breaks the rule. I don't like her going to that forest alone…"

"What?"

"Now honey." My dad smiled at me. "You got a choice to make. One month grounded, just going from here to school from school to here with one hour visit or not grounded with no forest." I was beyond piss off… I bet my house was red…

"So those are my two options?" I knew what Michael was doing… he was trying to prevent the dream… I pick up my cell phone and called Samantha.

"Hello?" She answer.

"Hey Sam. I just call you to ask you. Are you and Emily on your way here?"

"I got." I looked at my watch. "30 more minutes to do today homework with you guys. I'm grounded for a month and I only got one hour visit and since I had one for only 30 minutes now I can spend my other 30 minutes with you guys."

"I'm in your house." Samantha said. I hung up and opened the door. My dad and Michael stared at me with shock. We walked to my room.

"I met a guy." I finally told them. "He's name is Michael."

"Is the guy on your living room?" Samantha asked surprise.

"Yes." I said with a smile.

"He's hot." Emily said. "But wait a minute, why are you wasting your minutes with us?"

"He's siding with my dad." I rolled my eyes.

"On what?" Samantha asked.

"Between being grounded for a month or never going to the forest…"

"Are you crazy?" They both said at the same time…

"I wont let them control me like that… I can scarifies two month." They frown.

"I though you were grounded for a month…"

"Yeah, but Michael is stubborn… I bet he'll tell my dad about me skipping school…" And just as I said that, my dad enter the room really mad.

"Tell your friends goodbye." I gave them and I told you so look, they nodded and left. I followed my dad to the living room, and sat away from them.

"Dad before you begin I already know what your going to say. And let me just say you're a hypocrite. You grounded me because a boy I liked the same boy you like now… And about me skipping school he helped me too. Don't worry I wont skip class with him ever again. But that doesn't mean I'll stop skipping. Do you want to go to this road? The road where I turn rebellious?" They both sigh.

"You have a point… can you at least go with Michael?" I glared at them. "You don't have to tell me now, I'll let you to say goodnight."

"You don't have to leave. I can ay goodnight now and go to sleep." Michael looked down. I sigh. "Goodnight dad." I gave him a small hug. He left us alone…

"You cant blame me for trying." I just stared at him. "I love you Jane, more than you'll ever know." I sigh and hug him.

"I love you too.."

"Don't go to the forest without me?" I nodded. I walked him to the door. I saw him getting on his motorcycle and taking off. I officially had a boyfriend… I went to bed, and felt asleep surprisingly fast. I had the same irritating dream only a little different. Michael and I were kissing our arm around each other. When suddenly we heard a sinister laugh.

"How cute. Finally the point of your weakness." He look at me curious. "I though you like ME. My mistake I guess." Michael was in front of me in an instant. Marc grinned at me. "Did you know I can control you, and make you kill him?" I nodded. "Well?" I tried going towards Marc but Michael hold me in place whispering.

"I wont let you…" Michael got on his knees. "I'll be your servant… just don't hurt the girl…" Marc laughed.

"Why would I hurt her, when I got your will, and soon you would get the will of your family." I just stood there in shook. I couldn't believe Michael just gave his will to save my life. He was still kneeling and looking at the ground. Michael took a step forward looking at me with a crooked smile.

"You must be really special." He touched my cheek, making me cringe disgusted. Marc grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him, and smelled my hair… "You smell like the prohibited fruit. I kind of understand Michael's love for you. I might feel the same way for you."

"But you said-"

"Yeah. I lie. See how Michael hasn't stand up to defend you from me? That's why he asked me to promise him I wouldn't kill you." He grinned. I looked at him infuriated. "Oh don't do that. Don't be mad at me." He tried to kiss me, and I kick him on the males weak spot. Marc didn't even flinch, but he was piss off, he slap me so hard I went back hard hitting a tree. He grabbed me by the hair and pull up making me stand up… "You will be mine. Or die." A tear fell from my eyes. Michael pushed Marc away from me.

"You just broke your promise." Michael was about to attack him and suddenly my feelings for Michael disappeared, I wanted to protect Marc and I stood in front of Marc. I looked at Michael with hate, but all I saw on Michael's eyes were pain. Marc gave me a knife and told me to kill his attacker I took a step forward waiting for Michael to react and attack me first, but he just knelt and threw his weapon on the floor. I was confuse by his act.

"It's a trick. He's waiting for a weakness on your part to kill me, and then you." The feeling of protecting Marc came back. I took another step the only Michael did was trying to touch my cheek I step back. Marc told me to proceed. I fight trying to attack Marc but my body wouldn't let me. I figure I was being control by Marc, but there wasn't anything I could do… my body would obey him, and I would end up killing Michael…. So instead I stabbed my self in the stomach the power leaving my body immediately. I wince in pain. Michael yelled. He cached me before my body felt to the ground.

"Why? You were controlled by Marc, I saw it in your eyes no body was ever strong enough to fight it or notice…"

"And I wasn't, but I told you… between you and me I choose me… I love you Michael." I cough. "Michael I would love one last thing."

"Anything."

"One last kiss…" He kissed me, and even though I felt the darkness coming to get me… I enjoyed the kiss and I let go of him. The last thing I heard was…

"Noooooo!" And I was gone.
