Angeline's view

I sighed and plopped down on the bed. Closing my eyes I shut out all thought and prepared to drift out to dream land, until there was a knock on the door anyway.

"Come in." I called sitting up.

The raven haired girl came in. "Hi I'm Luce."

"Um… I'm Angeline, and don't you think it's a bit late for introductions." She stayed in the door way thinking. "Come in." I said again scooting over.

She reluctantly came out of the doorway, but she didn't sit down. "How do you do it? What does it feel like to…?"

"To be so close to the one you love, but to afraid to touch them." She nodded and I sighed. Why do I have to do this? Was that fall really so horrible that I must be tortured? "It is absolutely horrible and it's not even that you're too afraid it's that they are." I closed my eyes and feel against the wall. "Why did you ask?"

Luce was silent for such a long time that I feared that she had left. I peeked out from my arm and saw that she was there sadly staring at the wall. "Daniel, Daniel must-used to feel that way I suppose." I didn't get it until I remembered that Daniel had the same problem I did, or a similar one anyway. "Wow."

"If it makes you feel any better he loves you. I love J-James and it would be worth it to be able to be with the one I love like you two even if for a while."I looked out of the small bedroom window. The sky was black with few stars. "Can we talk more tomorrow?"

Looking a bit surprised Luce nodded. "Sure, just one thing more." I nodded as she backed out. "If yours is a punishment what being gave it?"

"The Almighty." I said simply. I figured this was obvious.

"You loved someone so much that you didn't take no for an answer and now the only reason you did that is taken away from you."

"It's called karma."

"It's called cruelty. Goodnight Angeline." She left me then my thought spinning in so many directions that I became dizzy.

I decided to rest and not think any more. Only when I slept I dreamed…

James' view

I stared at the ceiling almost falling into it. The calming colors called to me until I was asleep I dreamed…

Combined view

The air around the world was warm filling the space between them. There were no words spoken they knew who they were. The girl reached for the boy her single arm trying to break the vast distance between them. The boy, reacting with his instinct toward her, held out his hand at the same time.

The sky crackled them a silent no. They did not listen and quickly filled the distant between themselves. The ground shook them as they embraced trying to separate the two lovers.

The sky turned a fiery red as they tried to ignore it clinging to the one thing they knew, the one thing they wanted.

With a sudden burst of energy the two were pulled apart and the shadows engulfed them.

"James!" "Tracey!" The cries gave them strength, but the shadows were stronger.

The ground cracked as lighting hit the earth sending the shadows into frenzy. Their power became unlimited and they began ripping at the pair. Tearing at the fabric of their being, trying to crush the lovers' existence. Finally the shadows gripped their souls and twisted.

"James!" "Tracey!" They said at the same time, but the cries were drowned out by the burning and a sound more chilling than they ever imagined.

Angeline's view

"James!" I gasped awake. The world blurred in a rush of confusion as my brain processed where I was. I didn't care about that my mind focused on two facts. James was in danger and I knew by whom.

A/N: Wow didn't expect that huh? So sorry for taking so long I just got a break from all my activities today, but I will write again soon… What did you think about this one? ;)
