(LIGHT BULB WENT DING ABOVE MY HEAD!)

…

(Rex's POV)

The next day, I went with Zelena to the movie theater and for some reason, she wanted to watch The Bloody Hands and she wouldn't take no for an answer. We got popcorn, candy, soda, everything to make this perfect. Surprisingly, there was no one in the theater to watch the movie because they said it was so scary, every viewer had nightmares and therapy. I sat down next to her in the back row and the previews begun. Taking my eyes off the screen, I saw the silver haired girl sitting with his knees pulled up, sipping her soda. Finally, I spoke over the loudness of the previews.

"Zel, why did you choose to watch a horror movie filled with blood?" I asked.

Immediately, she stopped sipping and turned her head to look at me as I continued, "I figured that with your past with Detell would have made you want to stay away from gore."

Her gaze drifted to the floor in front of her, "Others…suffer, not me" was all she said.

She wanted to see other people go through what she's been through, but I knew she wasn't speaking the truth. I shrugged and turned to the screen, seeing the lights dim.

It was dark in the beginning and all I could hear was a female panting. Then screaming but it just flashed back to when the girl screaming was in college. The beginning was okay, got weird when students disappeared; scary when the girl found the bodies at the bottom of the lake and the killer chased her but her boyfriend killed him. In the end, the couple kisses in the night and the killer appears behind him, the girlfriend seeing him. It all cuts to black again and she screamed again.

All through the movie, Zelena didn't even get a little scared or flinch as I sat in my seat, wide-eyed, teeth clench and hands' gripping the arm rests. She stood up, a licorice whip hanging from her mouth cutely.

She tilted her head and poked me as the lights came on, "Rex" she called, snapping me out of my trance at the credits.

"Huh, what?"

"Okay?" she asked, looking a little worried.

I stood up and smiled at her, "I'm okay, wanna go-" I was interrupted by my communicator cut me off.

"Rex, level 2 evo downtown" Six spoke.

My smile turned to a smirk, "I got an idea, come on" I grabbed her hand and ran out, throwing out the wrappers and empty cups on the way out.

My legs turned into a motorcycle, she got on behind me and we raced off. Evo activity was a great way to end the date because she could see me whoop an evo's butt. I could even play out the scene in my head. I would be standing with my foot upon the monster's chest as she ran into my arms, relieved that I was safe. That would just be perfect…CRASH!

The next thing I knew, the motorcycle was flipping on the street, Zelena screaming as I felt some things piercing parts of my body. Pain shot through my body as I shrieked. I opened my eyes, seeing the twisted metal of the motorcycle and glass sticking out of my torso! My legs changed back to normal, looking like they didn't even have a scratch. My head whipped around, where's Zelena? Panic rose in my chest and tears streamed from my eyes as my eyes fell upon her.

She lay on the ground, hypervenalating with her back turned to me as she trembled. A metal shard was stuck in her arm and the back of her shirt was torn away, revealing scars. I wanted to crawl to her, to drag my body towards her and hold her, telling everything's going to be alright but I couldn't move. The sight of her quivering form blurred, stretched and made me feel dizzy. It wasn't long before it all turned black and I passed out. However, before I did, I noticed her stop shaking…dead.

…

There was a warm hand caressing my cheek so I thought it was my cat-girl. My hand came up to touch her soft one with my mouth slowly opening to speak but I felt a pair of slightly sticky lips press against mine. I kissed back nonetheless but when our lips parted, she kissed my eyelids and whispered 'sleep' so I did as she said.

The next time I opened my eyes, I was in my bedroom at Providence but I was covered with bandages over stitches. Getting up, I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. That's strange; there was dark red lipstick on my mouth and eyelids. Washing it off, I realized Zelena never wore lipstick…that's when it hit me. She was dead so it had to have been someone else. My soft smile fell into a frown at the memory of her still, blood splattered body curled up on the road.

Dragging my feet, I walked out of my bedroom without bothering to put on a shirt. I felt so empty inside…it was my entire fault. If I hadn't been knocked over, she'd still be here. All alone, tears leaked from my eyes and I punched the wall until my unprotected knuckles bled. Sobbing, I fell to my knees with my fists still on the wall and my head down. I cried and cried, my eyes burning but I didn't care.

"Rex" I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Holiday.

I didn't look up at her nor speak to her, I just sobbed as she asked "What's wrong?"

"It's all my fault…she'd still be alive if I hadn't brought her with me."

"Who, Rex? What are you talking about?" she asked.

I jumped to my feet and ran off because I couldn't force myself to speak her name; just saying it made it feel more…real. Blood trickled from my fists as I ran outside and turned my hands into large metal fists. The metal was dented in and turned into scrapped metal when I wouldn't stop punching the ground. It was like I went from blaming myself to blaming the world. Finally, I stopped and panted with my hands changing back.

"Rex, is that you?" I heard a familiar voice. It was Circe.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, not even bothering to look at her.

"I quit the Pack and came to work with Providence…what's wrong?" she asked.

"The girl I loved died…and it's my entire fault."

"Oh my God, what happened?"

"We went to the movies to watch a horror-flick and I got a call from Six of a level 2 evo. I thought that it was my chance to show her how much of a hero I was but something hit us. She was knocked off the bike while I was impaled all over with metal glass. I found her shaking but before I passed out, she stopped. She's dead" I couldn't cry anymore but my eyes just felt like squeezed lemons.

"That's terrible…" she replied with a hand on my back. "…what was her name?"

"H-her name was Z-Zelena Luna but I always called her Zel" I kept my eyes on the ground.

"Not dead" I knew that voice…Zelena!

I whipped my head around, spotting her with bandages on her arm, right cheek, tail, the left tip of her feline ear cut off and there were stitches down her right forearm. She was just about as wrecked as I was but her legs and torso only had a few scratches. I stumbled to my feet and hugged her, holding her close. I didn't let go for a while until I could hear her slightly inhale sharply from pain.

"I took her shopping but her hologram short-circuited and we had to come back." Circe explained.

"At least you're alive, what happened after I passed out?" I asked.

"Cir-cir saved us" Zelena replied with some type of nickname for the other girl.

"I lured the evo into an electric-net and it's in the petting-zoo for you to cure it".

I nodded and held the cat-girl's hand as we walked down the hall, Circe heading to another part of Providence so we were alone.

"So, Zel, how much did you hear when I was talking to Circe?" I asked, nervous.

"All" she replied and stopped to smile at me, "Love you, too".

I smiled back and without thinking, I leaning in to kiss her with her kissing back nonetheless.

(FINALLY I ADD ANOTHER CHAPTER AND I'M SORRY FOR THE WAIT! But questions still remain: Who kissed Rex earlier? Will Circe be jealous? Will Circe and Zelena eventually fight for Rex? Will I lose inspiration again or not? Who knows?)
