Late Evening

"I'm going out." Evan said.

"Where?"

"Hunting."

Cassie let out a little sigh, "As expected."

Evan smiled, the darkness hiding the little bit of happiness.

"Then actually catch something," she sassed.

Then he stepped outside.

Cassie looked back down at the book she was reading. She contemplated what was happening now. Peace, comfort and chocolate. But she knew it wouldn't last. What would happen in the future? The Others were still out there. This peace would soon be destroyed.

BANG!

A gunshot went off in the distance. She immediately got up, worried for Evan. Sliding one of the curtains to the side, she looked outwards. Two silhouettes were fighting in the prairie. Her eyes widened. One of them was Evan.

Logically speaking, a normal human being would have been dead, fighting an Other. Then that meant...Evan wasn't human.

He was an Other.

The world around her shattered. Evan...the one who held her close, comforted her, prevented her from leaving this world. Was the enemy.

He glanced at the house she was in. His eyes widening at her and the open curtain. Shocked eyes met betrayed ones.

In that vulnerable moment, the Other man struck down Evan and started toward the house. Cassie quickly went to find her gun to defend herself.

Then the door slammed open and the guy entered. He had brown hair and blue eyes. She narrowed her eyes. He raised his gun and fired. She barely was to dodge it. This is it. I'm going to die.

He ran out of bullets and then grasped her throat, lifting her into the air. She scrabbled at his arms, trying to wrench free.

Then the grip loosened and she fell, clutching her throat gasping for air. Evan.

Evan put a bullet through the man's head and looked at her, breathing heavily.

Cassie had recovered, but she was pointing the gun at him.

"What are you?" She uttered, each word dangerously low.

"Cassie," he moved forward

"No! Stay back!" She cried.

He stopped. And took a deep breath.

"I am a shark," he spoke, his eyes looking into hers, shimmering with tears she had never seen before. "A shark who dreamed he was a man."

"In other words, you're an Other." Her words monotone.

"Look Cass-"

"Shut up! What was that in the past? Was it all an act? I hate you so much!" She was broken, this realization had cracked her. But she would come back stronger, she would never need this stupid, fake Other.

"You know," he sighed. "I learned one thing...to hold on, you have to find something you're willing to die for."

Silence.

"My brother was killed by an Other," she glared, "I will never trust you. Ever. Again. And I couldn't save him"

And the pieces clicked.

"You. You're the one who took me away from Sams!." She was basically screaming. "I could've saved him, but you took away my chance!"

'You would've died."

"I don't care, I could've helped, even if I died!"

She whipped around and stalked upstairs.

He watched her leave with desperate eyes.

Morning

Cassie hadn't gotten any sleep. She had packed everything to leave the goddamned house. She looked over a map and figured Fort Knox would be where the Others would be. The weaponry was a good hint too. She kept her gun with her at all times. If that bastard Other came to talk or fight.

Then she opened the door to leave. And heard footsteps. She whipped around raising the gun.

"Don't you dare follow me." The words held a dangerous warning.

With that she left.

One Week Later

Of course he followed

A/N- And that's the end. WOOH! I'm done with fanfiction! 5 months later!(Excluding my hiatus)

Before any of y'all ask, there will be no sequel. But, if anyone is interested in writing one to this story, shoot me a DM and we'll see about it!

I'm currently in an Anime phase, therefore it may be awhile before my OC series gets posted and the fact I'm going to prewrite it, then post it as a completed story.(maybe) Thank you guys for sticking it out with me and the summer hiatus! Thank you so much!
