"" What peoples say.

'' Thoughts.

Raenef nodded his head as he listened to Jacob, who was sitting next to him.

"Then, I woke up and they were all gone… Like they never lived…" The boy said, as he sighed, sideways glancing at Rae.

Raenef smiled, trying to cheer up the moment. This made Jacob smile too, and turn his body around to look at Raenef.

"How come you didn't freak out when I told you I was a demon lord," Raenef asked curiously, tilting his head to one side.

Jacob smirked, and shrugged his shoulders lightly, "Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You look nothing like a demon lord, and you didn't act mean at all. Plus, my dad told me about demon lords, and he said that he met one once and the demon lord was just lonely. So, I guess I really didn't think about being scared."

Raenef sighed, drawing circles in the dirt with a slender digit, "How will I ever raise fear into anyone, if no one takes me seriously?"

Jacob laughed quietly, ruffling up Rae's hair, "Your looks can help you a lot. No one will suspect, and then you can go 'Pow!' They would be all surprised. See the good in that?"

Raenef nods his head, and then lays down on the ground, looking up at the sky.

"Jacob, why are you here all alone? How do you survive?"

Raenef heard Jacob sigh, and felt a cool breeze caused by someone plopping down beside him.

"You know the forest over there? That's where I get my food. And you already know why I'm alone… Everyone just disappeared…This place doesn't have any cities near it for miles and miles… I could never last that long walking."

Raenef frowned, then turned his head, looking over at the boy, "Do you want to come live with me, once Eclipse finds me,"

Raenef asked quietly.

Jacob looked at Raenef, his head propped up on his bent arm,

"That would be nice. If you would take me, that is."

Raenef grinned, sitting up and looking down at him,

"Of course I will take you. No doubt about it. Eclipse won't kill you if I tell him not to."

Jacob grinned then too, and sat up, giving Raenef a quick hug before pulling back, and saying, "Thanks, Rae."

Raenef nodded his head empathically.

"Lets go make our beds, it's almost pitch black."

Raenef nodded again, and stood up as Jacob did, following him to a deserted house.

The house held one bed, and a little nightstand, both looking as if they had been used for a while.

"Where am I sleeping," Raenef asked, as he noticed that there was only one bed.

Jacob looked over at Rae, apologetically.

"We'll have to share. If that is okay with you, though."

Raenef turned his head away, trying to hide the deep blush forming in his burning cheeks, before saying quietly, "That's okay."

Jacob smiled and walked up to the bed, straightening the sheets out, before turning back to Raenef.

"Well, I need to change into some comfortable clothes, so I'll be right back. You should get changed too, it gets a bit cold at night," he said as he walked towards the door, only stopping at the door to give Rae a reassuring grin, then went off to the other house that holds his clothes.

Rae looked about the house, seeing only a rat run across the floor. Rae grimaced, and thought to himself, 'When I get back home, I am making sure Eclipse gets rid of all the rats.'

With that thought lingering in his mind, he began getting undressed and picking out his night-clothes, the warmest one, and put it on. By then, Jacob was back in a long black robe, a small blush on his cheeks, and an embarrassed smile on his lips.

"Do you want the inside or the out?"

Raenef looked at the bed, and thought about it before replying, "Can I sleep on the inside?"

Jacob laughed, nodding his head, "If you couldn't, I wouldn't have asked."

Raenef blushed, and headed towards the bed, climbing in slowly. He realized, once he got settled on the oddly comfortable bed, how sore he really was. Every bone in his body ached and screamed with soreness, and he grimaced at sharp pains in his back.

"Are you okay?"

The sentence broke Raenef's concentration on his pain, and made him look at the boy lying beside him. He smiled nodding his head, before closing his eyes with a yawn.

"Good night, Rae."

"Good night, Jacob."

"Dark...Cold...Eclipse...Whereare you…Is that you Eclipse…Why are you just laying there…Why are you cold…Eclipse…Please answer me…Eclipse" the voice cried with sorrow in it.

"Why...Why...You left me, Eclipse... I love you and you left me...Why did you have to die, Eclipse...Why..."

Raenef jolted up, breathing heavily, tears were flowing down his cheeks, as he looked around the black room.

"Rae…" A groggy voice came from beside him, and he felt the person move, "Are you alright?"

Raenef was still breathing hard as he looked at Jacob, who had sat up to look at him. He nodded, and reached up to wipe the tears off his cheeks, but was beat as soft, tender fingers wiped them off for him. Raenef realized that Jacob's face was inches from his face, his breath warm and soft against Raenef's skin.

"Are you sure," Jacob asked again, his breath tickling Raenef's lips.

Raenef nodded slowly, as he looked into Jacob's eyes, his own hazed over in thought. Jacob smiled sweetly, placing his hand on Rae's cheek. Rae started breathing heavily again, his heart pounded, but he still leaned into the touch, his eyes closing slowly.

All the sudden, lips pressed against his, warm and soft. Raenef's first reaction was to pull away, but he changed his mind, as the lips pressed into his more. He kissed back hesitantly at first, then the seconds passed and he began to kiss back more passionately. Their lips stayed pressed together for a few more seconds before the kiss broke, leaving them both breathing heavily and looking into each others eyes.

Jacob was the first one to look away, his head bent down, as he whispered softly, "I'm sorry…"

Raenef felt like something struck his heart, as he looked at his friend, and felt ashamed that he hadn't automatically comforted Jacob.

Raenef lifted Jacob's chin, causing Jacob to look at him, before leaning forward and placing a small soft kiss on his lips.

"It's okay."

Jacob smiled, hugging Raenef tightly, before pulling away, tears on the edge of his eyes.

"I thought you would hate me…"

Raenef shook his head, before wiping the tears away and lying back down.

"How could I hate you?"

Jacob laughed quietly, lying back down also, and turning his body, so he could look at Rae.

"I just thought you would…"

Raenef smiled reassuringly, brushing back the black strands of hair that had fell into Jacob's vision.

"Well, I don't."

Jacob grinned, then closed his eyes, yawning.

"Rae, what happened by the way? You like woke up all the sudden. Did you have a nightmare?"

Raenef almost had forgotten about the dream, but once he remembered it sent shivers down his spine. Jacob must have felt him shake, because he moved closer to Raenef.

"Cold?"

Raenef nodded, relieved to not have to go into detail. He turned his back to Jacob, and closed his eyes. Right before he fell asleep again, he felt Jacob's arms wrap around his waist and smiled as his body became warmer from the shared body heat.
