"Hikaru, nothing is ever going to happen to me. I promise."

"I want to believe that, Kris, but I just have this bad feeling something is going to happen," Hikaru said before leaning over and kissing my cheek.

Kristina's POV

I couldn't explain why Hikaru had this feeling. Or why the pit in my stomach knew what he said was true. I don't want to believe that something bad is going to happen. It terrifies me to think it could be true. God, I pray I'm wrong. But nothing was going to happen. Or would it? Of course not! Nothing really bad could ever happen! Or maybe...

We sat in complete silence as people went in and out of the room. An hour passed by in a blink of an eye. "I need to get out of here," I finally said. My brain felt like it was about to explode.

"I'll come with you," Hikaru insisted as I stood up.

"No. I love you, Hikaru, but I need time to think." I knew that wasn't going to make him budge. The look in his eyes and his vice grip on my arm told me that. "Please."

"Kristina, I just don't feel safe with you going out alone. Just let me come with you!"

"Hikaru," a threatening voice came behind us. "Let my daughter go." When Hikaru didn't let go after a moment, dad entered, "now."

He let out a deep sigh and let go of my arm. "Edward, can you please go with her then. I don't feel comfortable with her being alone."

"She's a grown women. She can do whatever she pleases," Dad said. Hmm, weird. Usually dad would be in the same boat with Hikaru.

"I've already basically lost you to him, Kristina. And if thats the case, then I'm going to make sure he respects every decision you make. Even if he doesn't feel it's right."

"Thanks, daddy."

I headed for the front door, but turned back to a very distressed Hikaru.

"Please don't do this, Kris. If not for me, then for yourself."

I shook my head. "Sorry," I whispered before running out the door.

As my feet hit the ground I didn't stop running. I don't know what provoked me to keep running. It might have been the cold breeze that hit my face, or the adrenaline pumping through my system, but whatever it was, it felt good.

I ran past down the driveway, across the road and through a large field, past a small patch of woods, past a small church, into another set of bigger woods, and to where I found comfort in another empty field. . Whatever had me going to begin with had stopped, and my moist body went limp. That was when I noticed: it was raining.

"Shit," I said as I ran a hand through my soaked hair. I was going to get sick if I stayed out here all day. But I couldn't go back to the house. Not yet. My head still pounced from the pressure of Hikaru's words.

What brilliant idea of mine to go outside when there may be someone after me, you may be thinking to yourself. Not going to lie, it wasn't a smart idea. But I couldn't stay in the house. Too many voices telling me what to do. I didn't like it. I needed to be alone.

"Fucking idiot."

But I wasn't alone...

Before I could react, I was slammed face first to the ground; my hair being pulled by my attacker. "Do you know how hard it is to get one of you alone? You never seem to have any damn privacy from one another."

"Get off me!"

"Oh, like you can do shit. If you haven't noticed, little girl, you're all alone. Just another damsel in fucking distress," his deep voice vibrated through me.

I should have listened to Hikaru. But I didn't. Now I'm going to die. My whole existence will become nothing but a far off memory. Everything I love will become nothing. No one is here to save me. I can't even save myself. I'm so pathetic.

Hikaru's POV

She left. I warn her that she might die, and she leaves!? Where's the sense in that? And Edward just let her go. I have boyfriend intuition, shouldn't he have father intuition?

"Why would you do that, Edward," I finally asked.

"Hikaru, I've known you since you were a baby. I've known your father and mother longer then I've known you. And the pack and us have been moving around together for years," he said, "but that doesn't change how I feel about the wolf inside of you. You can't control it, Hikaru."

"How could you say that? I've never hurt her," I started to scream.

"And I'm not saying you will. But you can't control the beast inside of you when your upset, anymore then I can control my beast if stuck in a room full of bleeding humans. It's just how life works, Hikaru."(A/N: uh oh! Edwards protectiveness again lol)

"I... why...no." The correct words wouldn't come out. I became a bumbling fool with that one comment. Though it all seem moot now. Edwards made up his mind. There is nothing I could do. I sat down; it was the only thing I could do.

"I know you care about my daughter. But she has her own life outside of you." I wanted to scream or throw something, or do anything.

I just wanted Kristina back.

"You two need to calm down in here," Bella said, coming through the door. Her smile faded when her eyes set on me. "Hikaru, are you... are you okay?"

What was she talking about? Yeah, I was upset that Kristina ran away from me, and that Edward put me in my place, but that was nothing to die over. Bella walked towards me and wiped my cheek with her finger tips. Moist. My hand flew up to my face and tears slipped from my eyes.

"I'm so sorry." I brushed my arms over my face. Men do not cry.

"I made a boy cry. Great, now I'm going to have this on my conscious for the rest of my life," Edward sighed.

"I wasn't crying, I just got something in- oh who am I kidding? I was crying like a baby," I chuckled.

"I'd personally rather see you cry, then keep it all inside where it will boil up," Bella said, handing me a tissue.

Of course, hearing the words "boy crying" makes everyone, including Zel, come into the room. As if I wasn't embarrassed enough. "Awww poor baby," Ash gasped, jumping into my lap. "Are you okay?"

I glared at Edward as Ash stoked the side of my face in comfort; but it wasn't working. "Look what you did." I loved Ash, he was a great friend, but it was a bit odd when he hit on me especiallywhen he was trying to comfort me. And the only time he hit on me was to try and make another guy jealous. Case in point, Zel.

"If it will make everyone feel better, I can call Kris's cell," Violet offered.

"Please do. I know she wants to be alone, but I just have this bad feeling that something bad is going to happen," I told her.

"No, don't say that. Now you have me worried," Esme panicked.

Violet flipped open her phone and dialed Kristina's number. She put it on speaker for the some of us who don't have super hearing could still listen. It rang a few times, but never picked up. When her voice mail came on, the undeniable truth that awaited us was there.

"Hello. Kristina can't make it to the phone right now because she's bound by her hands and feet in a cellar down the hall. If you leave your name and number, I may let her give you a call before I kill her. Oh, and Edward, your daughter looks gorgeous, I can't wait to take a taste. Bye."

"Sabe," Zel muttered, wide eyed.
