Oink Oink. That is being said to show you how piggy I have been in not writing a chapter as soon as my exams finished. I blame the new Disney playstation game I got which has a really good looking guy in (which is strange as it is a playstation game but would make sense if you went on it).

As I am writing this, I am feeling very hungry so the writing may not be very good. Man cannot live on playstation games alone. After writing this, I am going to go eat something (not that you are particularly interested in my eating habits.) As you can tell I am currently in quite an odd mood but would still greatly appreciate any reviews you are nice enough to bestow on me.

As promised, this chapter is quite exciting and is also relatively long for me. I hope you like it and if you see any mistakes or problems in it please review and tell me. I hope you like this chapter as you get to know Lukie Poo more!

Chapter 12 (Woo hoo! 12 whole chapters!)

Waking up Brianna had to bite back a scream. The familiar arms wrapped around her gave her no comfort so she carefully slipped out of Lukas' arms and went out onto the balcony of their small, dingy flat. It'd been months now since the escape but the nightmares had been steadily getting worse. She looked out onto the city below and saw decay. Rubbish split out onto the streets from over turned trash cans, far off police sirens filled the air and angry shouting filtered in through walls of the flat next door. There was the sound of breaking glass then a sudden silence. Brianna shivered.

Brianna hated it here and longed to return to the Daybreakers. They had offered help and comfort even though by staying with them she had put them all into danger. The attacks on the Daybreaker Safe Houses were becoming more frequent. Though no one had been killed yet it was only a matter of time. At first she had refused to belief it has him but now she couldn't deny the truth. It was Dorian. And as soon as he found them he'd take her away and most likely leave Lukas to die somewhere...losing a fight against Lukas will have a memory not easily forgotten.

Lukas. Just thinking of him gave her a comfort she couldn't find elsewhere. When not in the flat ensuring her safety he went out, trying to hunt down Dorian despite her protests. Brianna went with them as often as she could but when there was ever any real chance of them finding him Lukas refused to let her come with them. He tried to protect her from danger whenever possible, even though Brianna was a trained fighter and could easily fend for herself. She helped the Daybreakers whenever possible going on more dangerous missions than Lukas would have liked. She felt honour bound to help them as much as she could ever since they had taken in Deya and Michael. They had even helped the unconscious girl, now known as Theresa.

The dark night sky was littered with stars, all pale and barely visible, whilst the moon shone brightly lighting up the alleyway below. Failing to light up all of the alleyway, the moonlight left eerie shadows on the scattered objects of the alleyway leaving it strange and unreal. A cool breeze left Brianna unnerved, with the unpleasant feeling of being watched. Moving to go inside Brianna saw that the bed was empty and that Lukas was walking towards her.

"Nightmares again?" Lukas asked, worry clearly etched into his face.

"No…I just wanted to get some air." Brianna stumbled on her words, failing to convince Lukas in the slightest. He looked at her with one eye brow raised. "Really, I'm fine."

"Sure you are." Sarcasm was one of Lukas' most famous characteristics. "What's up?"

"Nothing. Really. Lets just go back to sleep." Brianna tried to smile but it looked more like a grimace. Admitting defeat, Lukas followed Brianna to the bed where they laid down together, wishing he could do something to help her.

He tightened his arm around her waist, silently promising to protect her from Dorian. He was sure that it was him who was hunting Brianna down though she wouldn't admit it. Some of the witches in the Daybreaker houses who'd been at the attack had remembered some of what had happened and had accurately described the leader as Dorian. Vague descriptions of the others didn't match those who had been in his previous vampire gang, so it was generally presumed he'd hired thugs to help him track Brianna down. The Daybreakers had helped Lukas and Brianna both go into hiding in the flat, nearby a Daybreaker Safe House so that Daybreakers could be sent to them quickly if they were found out.

Soon he fell asleep, still trying to think of ways he could ease Brianna's obvious pain. Sleep failed to claim Brianna so she was left alone with her thoughts. Rarely a night passed by when she didn't fail to picture Dorian to ensure she remembered him. His face had become as familiar as her own. Memories of him were painful and seemed unfaithful whilst lying next to Lukas and yet Brianna could not forget them. He seemed to forever haunt her thoughts.

She couldn't stay here. Not with Lukas. Putting him in danger along with the rest of the Daybreakers was selfish, and if any of them died because of her she would never be able to forgive herself. I have to leave. In the morning. Whilst Lukas is asleep. She knew Lukas would never let her leave and he wouldn't understand. He didn't know Dorian was her soulmate, that he'd do just about anything to get to her. And he wouldn't give up. There was no point in trying anymore. He knew where all the Daybreaker Safe Houses were by now. Brianna doubted whether there was anything he didn't know since during the attacks nearly all the files stored in the houses had been taken.

Knowing she would get no sleep that night Brianna spent it mentally planning how she would leave and what she needed to take with her. Tracking was nothing new to her so there was little need to take the small amount of money they had, which was barely enough to cover rent. They had been largely depending on the charity of the Daybreakers for food in return for the work Lukas and Brianna did for them but now Brianna would have to find food for herself. She'd have to leave a note. Something to stop Lukas from following her.

Waking up Lukas found the flat empty. The room was lit from sunlight streaming in from the open doors of the balcony. He left the bed, expecting to find Brianna on the balcony, yet it was empty. Shutting the balcony doors, Lukas began to search the flat for her beginning to panic. It's fine. She'd probably just gone to see Ash or something. I'm sure she's fine, Lukas told himself, knowing how stupid Brianna would think him for worrying. Then he saw the note left on the night table and picked it up, thinking it was probably a note from Brianna telling him not to worry and that she'd be back soon. Instead he found a very different note.

Lukas,

I know you're probably already worrying by now but you shouldn't. I'm going to be fine and so are you. I've taken my clothes and some of the food from the fridge to last a few days. I don't think I'll be coming back.

I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. You were there when no one else was. I hope I can be there for you like that some day. Try not to forget me but don't come looking for me. I should have told you before but I didn't have the courage. It's Dorian. He's my soulmate. He won't stop looking for me and he'll kill anyone who gets in his way. He won't stop. I couldn't stay any longer and keep putting you in danger. I care about you too much. I have to end it know.

Please forgive me from keeping this from you. Once I find him I can stop all of this. I have too. I won't let anyone get hurt. Don't try to find me. Stay hidden and keep safe. I'll contact you when I can but I have to finish this. I can stop him.

Brianna

The note slipped out of Lukas' hand and onto the floor. No. It can't be true. He checked the wardrobes to see most of her clothes were gone, just as the note had said. Then the rest of it must be true as well. Soulmates. Lukas had tried to hard to protect her from him and now she was the one in search of Dorian. Destined to be together. She'd gone and he hadn't even told her the truth about how he felt about her. I can't let her go. Not like this. Grabbing his jacket and the keys to the car Lukas left the flat. Locking the door, he began to ran down the corridor, realising that every second Brianna was getting further and further away. He had to find her.

All I can say is poor poor Lukas. Everyone seems to be getting depressed in this story, don't they? Anyway, on with the Author Notes:

Piscean Wisdom: Sorry, no one yet knows the truth so Dorian is still wandering around thinking his soulmate is dead. You think he would have clicked seeing as he hasn't gone crazy like you are supposed to when you soulmate dies. Poor stupid Dorian (Only joking! I love Dorian to bits. He reminds me of Julian and Prince Delos). Your review was not bad! You even asked a question. And it wasn't mean of anything. Thanks a lot for taking the time to review.

stephanie: Thank you so much for saying my story is great! That's so nice of you. I like you already. I agree that the chapters should be longer so I've tried to make this one longer. And I am ashamed at how long it had taken me to update. Darn all those exams! Though if I'm truthful it's also due to my own laziness. I hope you liked this chapter too.

Gi Xian: By the way I don't really like Peter Pan in the movie and El Loopy said I should tell you that as she said you really hated him. Which is strange, as I thought you liked him. Anyway, I'm glad you prefer Dorian as so do I whereas Poopy El Loopy prefers Lukas so I guess she should like this chapter. I emailed your hotmail one but it didn't seem to work….Oh well. I'll be seeing you soon anyway! That will be so weird…I still think you should have red hair.

incarnated-soul: Thanks for pointed out how it wasn't clear if he was trying to change to be more evil/good. I've changed that now. I hope this chapter has helped you get to know Lukie Poo better as that was the general idea. Poor Dorian was not in this chapter but he is probably off being depressed somewhere. Don't worry, if he really starts to annoy me I'll just kill him off for being too grumpy (JUST JOKING!). The next chapter will probably be about Dorian meeting Brianna who he thought was dead. That should be funny!

As you can see, if you review you get an Author's note so please review (THAT INCLUDES YOU POOPY EL LOOPY! AND MAKE IT A LONG REVIEW!)
