Chapter one: "I Love You"

Oh, this is so sweet thought Kaylen to herself, as she stared from the long knife in her hand to the small whimpering figure in front of her. This was way too sweet she thought again as she raised the knife. She did not strike, she was savoring her victory. She was savoring that look on the face of the figure in front of her.

The person in front of her was a teenage boy with bright, emerald green eyes. He had dark black hair that was sticky with both blood and sweat. There was a long, deep cut running right across the face, from where the Kaylen had hit him. He had a look of both fear and confusion on his face as he stared at her.

"How. . . How could you do this?" he said shaking.

"Oh, it was so easy and enjoyable, Travis- trust me" said Kaylen with a big grin on her face.

"But I thought we were friends… why would you want to kill me?"

Kaylen laughed at these words. Friends? Please? Just because Travis was, the first and only friend Kaylen had did not mean she could not kill him. Just because he was the only one who stood by her side, and defended her no matter what, did not stop Kaylen from wanting to kill him. Besides, she had a mission to do.

"Oh don't be so stupid Travis" she said laughing at him.

"Why… Why would you become a killer all of a sudden?"

"I have always been a killer Travis, since before I even meet you." This was true. Kaylen had always been a murderer and was always proud of it. She could not think of anything she liked to do more then take a life out of a person.

Travis began to quickly look around the room, looking for a way out. Travis was wasting his time; Kaylen had planned this for the last 2 years. There is no escape; she had made sure of that.

"There is no escape, Travis. It's over."

She raised the knife over his head ready to strike him, ready for him to put up a good fight. But he did not. Kaylen lowered the knife slowly, thinking. Why wasn't he fighting? He always puts up a good fight when he is in grave danger. Kaylen looked at him and saw that he was calm. Not afraid one bit that he was about to die. No, he was just… calm. Then he said something that will be the last thing Kaylen ever hears from him.

"I love you."

Kaylen had expected many things to come out of Travis's mouth, but never these three words. Kaylen let go of the knife and it landed on the floor with a small thud. She stared at him, and he stared back. Nothing in the world could possible understand how Kayren felt at these words. These went straight to her heart and they froze it.

She then realized that she did really care about Travis. She didn't want him to die, and she knew they both can turn around and they can run where no one will ever find them. She knew that is she stopped herself from killing Travis she can escape the world around her that was crumbling and coming to a close. She can escape the people who were forcing her to kill. She can start her life all over again, stop living in the past. Oh, but Kaylen's past was a sad story. She was a very, very happy child who had everything she ever wanted.

Until the day, her whole world just fell apart…
