Ch 9 Tomorrow:

Alright, so here's the rest of this chapter, I think I'm going to switch my story up because it's at its end in my book but I will have another story up. I promise guys! I think that this is going to be a tear jerker. Oh yes and Marik is now badass…go figure huh? –sob!- Onto the story!

Marik looked out the hotel window, the sky's tears against the glass screaming of his coward act. "Sera…where are you?" he muttered almost kissing the tears as they ran against the cheeks of the glass. His heart writhed in his heart, what had he done? "Fucker, go out and get her…" he walked from the hotel, a passion carrying him forward to find the young woman. "How the hell could I say that shit and leave her?"

Sera felt the gentle tilt of her head as the water embraced her body. Her eyes shutting as she let her heart pour into the river. She looked up past the sun to the stars above; her eyes glittered yet the looming danger came as the dagger fell almost perfectly from her pocket. How convenient.

Marik jumped again as he moved to a jogging pace, falling. "Sera…where the hell did you go?" he saw her behind a dissipating dune. "Seraphina! What the fuck?" he fell over, "Don't you dare do it!" smacked the ground, his hand almost cracking under the pressure.

Sera stood slowly, almost solemnly tossing her dagger, change and anything else of value into the pale water. The wind held her momentarily as her hair pushed back behind her ear. Her eyes dry and dead she looked into the water, her new sanctuary.

His heart beat quicker as the growl fueled his rage, maybe the rush was getting to him he couldn't help asking if he was here to save her this time. One half of his mind had already said goodbye, the other was snatching her out of the water, and already his arms were there, trying to grasp her before she fell. "Damn!" he threw his cloak from his shoulders, jumping in after her, his tanned arms searching for her frail body. "Do you not fucking listen?" Where was she, had she already drifted down the river? A quick drop and a sudden stop was what awaited her at the waterfall ahead. Her hands grasped his as he spotted her, drawing her up the gash already formed on his forehead as the same had conformed to her cheek.

Coughing up water they both reached the shore, "What are you nuts? What the fuck are you thinking, no one is worth you dieing Sera…" she looked away. "Are you listening! You're a selfish bitch…that's what you are…" she turned to face him once more, damn that face to hell, why was it making his heart sad again. The calm came about him as he pulled her close kissing her gently.

The glow came about her once more as it rested upon him as well, "I'm sorry…you're not…Sera…you're not selfish…It's my fault." She lay in his arms, she was selfish this time around, and why she had decided was a mystery, the demons in her mind? Who knew? She was safe now. With Sera drawn close to her body he walked timidly back towards the hotel, "Were going to get you away from here…" she nodded a bit and walked close to him. His cloak wrapped around her they entered the hotel, Lisa on the phone with the proper authorities, something had happened while the two were out. "That's right…he's here…"

Sera lay back in the bed as they moved into her room, hearing the door slam she twitched, she hurt him this time. "Sera…" he sighed shaking his head, "Why did you try it…again?" her eyes twitched, opening again she sat upon her bed, the raven locks shifting slightly.

He was already asleep, the dream of her, gently touching over her she embraced him. The warmth shifted a bit as the cold wind blew his dream into a cold haze, her hand upon a black rose she was asleep, never to wake. No one stood about him, no one crying for her, who or what had happened to this woman? When did she deserve such treatment? Marik was seeing it all so clearly, not from what she had said, this time he wasn't sure where it was coming from. Her hands bound back she was being tormented, he wasn't the hero in this dream…

Her toes had already caressed the carpet, this was no dream as she walked from her own room, what a wonder to find his door unlocked incase she needed anything. She smiled slightly and knelt at the end of the bed, the boy was asleep, simply asleep. She lightly pushed his hair back. "Goodnight Marik" the dream would twist once more, he would be her hero.

-Wah, badass! – Okieday, I'm out! R&R please!
