I didn't understand why, but I couldn't stop the steady flow of tears, that exerted from my eyes. I felt horrible, miserable, a piece in "Her" game. But it wasn't a game; it was real life, reality.

I felt strong arms being wrapped around me, yet I was too frightened to even open my eyes, because as soon as I did, I knew "She" would show up, and ruin my life.

"Fabia…"

I could hear someone calling my name, yet from a faraway distance to the point where I couldn't reach them.

"Fabia, it's alright," I could hear the person telling me, yet the words that were spoken, could never calm me after what Alice had told me. And the worst part of it was, I knew Alice wasn't lying, she was speaking out a voice of truth.

"Fabia, listen to me..."

The person kept speaking to me, trying to calm my petrified thoughts, which lurked deep in the darkness of my mind.

"Fabia, you're alright now, nothing will hurt you, and I'll protect you"

The moment those words were spoken, I could feel my eyes burst open, the tears falling from my face cease, and a comforting feeling rush over me in seconds.

I looked upward, surprised to see the brawlers huddled around me in a circle, each of them wearing a worried or concerned look upon their faces.

Shun was holding me tight in his arms, as if he could lose me forever to the wind, it felt as if he would never let go. And I didn't want him to let go. I would never let him release me, never to embrace me again, never to love me again, because somehow, I knew, that Sapphirah would find a way to destroy our happiness.

"Fabia," Shun whispered softly "You're okay, there's nothing wrong"

I pressed myself up against him, hugging him tighter and tighter. I felt a horrible feeling come over my heart, my soul and mind. That feeling was fear, ice cold and heartless.

"Don't let go," I softly spoke my voice hissing before my ears. Shun's grip tightened around me even more.

"I won't," Shun assured me "I'll never let you go" I perked up suddenly.

"But you will," I told him firmly "I know that you will" Shun looked down on me with a concerned expression on his face.

"Why would I ever do that?" Shun questioned me, still firm, yet there was a tone of gentleness in his voice.

"Because," I whispered, my voice trembling at the thought "She'll kill you" Shun's grip softened, as well as his expression.

"Fabia," Shun crooned "I told you, the promise, don't you remember?" I shook my head violently.

"No," I spat out "You promised that you would wait a day after the deadline. Forget that promise," I begged "And make this one. Promise me, that you'll never leave my side; you'll always be there, no matter what. No matter how many times that she threatens your life or mine, you'll never leave me"

Shun softly brushed my sea blue hair behind my ear. He looked downwards if contemplating what I had proposed. I silently wished to myself that he would say "Yes".

Shun looked upward.

"I Promise," Shun whispered softly "I'll never ever leave you" I smiled, hoping that this would keep him away from Sapphirah, away from her traps and trickery.

"Thank you," I whispered, unable to hold back any tears of joy. I placed my hand on his, jumping back surprised, but still hanging onto his hand. He had finally returned to his normal temperature. I looked behind me, to see that everyone, except for Dan, had a totally confused look on their face. I smiled gently, realizing that this would take a little bit of time, but they all deserved to know about Sapphirah, and her petrifying offer.

"I'll explain everything to you," I told them "Within time" Runo folded her arms across her chest.

"Is that time now?" She asked impatiently "I don't like waiting!"

I grinned.

"It all began about two days after Shun told me he was immortal…"

I realized soon, that everyone, would then have the entire story, start, to current reality. Because this is a reality, never would it be a Fantasy.

Me: I'm really happy to have written in this chapter to the story! And not just because Fabia really wanted to put it in there, It's also important because of the new promise, so yeah, it really wasn't much of a choice anyway.

Shun: This story is taking quite a few detours, just so Fabia can get in everyone of her details?

Me: Pretty much

Fabia: You Should be happy that i included every detail of the story, Shun

Shun: -.-

Fabia: Right, well anyway, thanks to all of you who reviewed! Be sure to check out my now favorite story, "Southern Hymn" by, the talented Copperpelt! Thanks for reading everyone, please R&R!
