Hilary walked out of Ray's room to see everyone looking at her. "Oh! When did you get up?" she asked. "Just a minuet ago…and there has to be an explanation in why there is a bat on your head!" Kai announced. Hilary gasped and looked around the room. "Um…see this bat is, uh…Ray!"

Everyone stared at her and started to laugh. "No really!" Max said. Kai stopped laughing. "Hilary I killed Ray remember!" he said. Hilary shook her head no. "Actually it is me you guys Hilary and I were going to go on a walk."

Everyone stared at the bat that just talked. Tyson gulped. "D-Did that bat j-just…talk!" he stuttered. The bat nodded. Hilary opened the door. "When we get back we'll explain everything!" she said as she shut the door.

Ray laid his head upon Hilary's soft brown hair. "So were do you want to go?" "How about just a walk," Ray announced. Hilary nodded.

Hilary kissed her fingertips and placed them on top of Ray's soft little head. "I love you still Ray, even though your…well, dead!" she said. Ray nodded and kissed her fingertips. "Love you back!" he said. Hilary got to the bridge were Ray and her had their first kiss, but it seemed so different now for some reason.

The day was so long and she was a little tired. "How about we go down to the pond and take a nap Ray?" she asked. She heard Ray let out a yawn. "Well…okay I am tired, too," he laughed.

Hilary picked Ray up and laid him down in the soft grass. The little bat wrapped up in a ball as Hilary laid down next to him and they dozed off.

Before they knew it arms wrapped around Hilary's waist and pulled her tight. She opened her eyes quickly because she was scared. But then she felt a lick on her neck were her bite was from Ray. That was when she noticed that it was Ray. In his human form. It was getting dark out so she guessed Ray turned back. "Ray…what are you doing?" she laughed as she turned around to see a pair of golden eyes and a gentle smile. "Just lovin on my girl!" he chuckled. Hilary smiled as she pulled herself closer to Ray.

"Wow…what a beautiful night!" Hilary gasped. "Yeah, it is," he replied. Hilary laced her fingers into Ray's and gripped him tight. "I love you Ray…I love you so much," she announced. Ray's eyes widened as he looked at her. He then placed a kiss upon Hilary's cheek. "I love you too…my lil kitten," he replied. Hilary loved how Ray gave her a nickname, it was cute.

"So what should we do today…I mean tonight?" she asked. Ray took a deep breath before answering. "I don't know…I am a little hungry," he said. Hilary then sat up only to see Ray sit up too. "Like where…every things closed!"

"Not everything…there's a late night pizza place over across town we can walk to it," he announced. So Hilary took his hand and helped him up. "Okay I'd love to!"

They walked through dark allies, across streets, down streets till they came to a small pizza store that was open like Ray had said. "Well…let's go," he said opening the door for her. There were a couple people there and Ray gasped to see who was sitting at one table, Tala!

"Well! Well! Look who the little girl dragged in…a vampire!" he laughed. He got up and stood there looking at Ray. "How did you come back? I thought Kai killed you!" he said. Ray took another deep breath. "He killed my human half and can we talk about this later not in a place filled with humans…I mean people!" he snapped. Tala shrugged. "Whatever, come sit with me you guys I've already ordered," he announced. Hilary nodded and dragged Ray over to Tala's table. "So what are you doing out this late?" Tala asked.

Hilary held Ray's hand under the table, tight. "F-For a walk! And I bumped into Ray at the park!" Ray new she didn't want Tala to find out about them together. But Tala didn't buy what she had said. "Don't lie Hilary! I saw you kissing Ray before he died I've known about you and him for a while, it's not that hard to figure out you know," and right after Tala finished his sentence the pizza came.

Hilary grabbed a piece along with Ray and Tala. "It was that easy to figure out?" she asked. Tala nodded taking a bite. "Yeah! Why else would Ray choose you to suck blood from? For him not to go on a rampage like that he would have to suck blood from the one he really loved. But the one he love's has to love him back! It's that easy!" he pointed out.

Hilary leaned against Ray's shoulder and nodded. "So Ray…you've been awfully quiet lately what do you want to talk about…oh I know, tell me how you came back to life!" Tala pointed out. Ray took a bite of his pizza and shook his head no. "You're a vampire slayer…you should know!" he pointed out. Tala took a deep breath.

"Fine I bet Kai will know, you had to tell him cause he's your best friend!"

"Not anymore…we were best friends…until he killed me, a true friend would stick by you no matter what, like Hilary did with me…she knows whatever I do that is bad was an accident…like that rampage…she was with me the whole time, as for Kai…all he wanted was to kill me, avenge his parent," Ray announced.

Tala sat back in his chair. "Oh," was all he said. "I'm getting a little tired, Ray," Hilary announced. Ray looked down at the brunette laying up against him. "Okay…how about I take you home to go to sleep and I'll come back to talk with Tala, okay," Ray said. Hilary nodded as she got up and her and Ray left.

Half way to there house Hilary collapsed. "Hilary!" Ray gasped. But he just brushed it off and picked her up and he held her on his back. He got her to his room and laid her down. And with a gentle kiss on the lips and a "Good Night" Ray left the room and then the house.

He walked into the park, one of his favorite places to be and spotted Tala sitting on a bench. Tala of course sat like Kai, arms crossed and feet crossed as well. "What took you so long?" Tala snapped.

"I had to put Hilary to bed," Ray said. Tala just nodded. Ray sat next to him. "So tell me why are you really here!" Tala snapped. Ray jumped. "What! I came back! I came back for Hilary!" he snarled. Tala looked at him. "No! I can tell…you're here to kill Kai! I can tell!" Tala pointed out.

"And…I bet Kai already knows, that your after him…you just want to wait a while Ray, show Hilary that you love her…before you kill you, well ex-best friend!" the slayer pointed out, "and then right when Hilary's not looking you go in for the kill…you think that'll work! Tell me Ray, will Hilary still love you after you kill the captain of your team?"

Ray slouched down in his seat. "Is it that obvious?" Ray asked. Tala nodded. "Trust me Ray I was taught to see things like this right when I saw you come in I knew something was up…but, the problem is I can't let you do this," Tala announced. Ray gulped as he got up. "I'll give you five minuets okay! Five Minuets!" and with that Ray started to sprint to the house as fast as he could!

Ray tripped over a branch that stood out of the ground. Then he heard a gun shot he shielded his head but only to see the bullet land in front of him! He gasped as he quickly got to his feet and ran again. He made it to the house only to find the door locked. He looked into the window to see Kai sitting there watching TV. 'Oh great he must have thought I was already inside,' he thought.

He then turned into a bat and flown to the crack in the wall of his room. He searched the wall to see it was gone! 'Kai or someone must have sealed it up…along with everything else!' he thought flying to the roof. 'Tala must have told Kai and Kai was trying to save himself!' he thought. Then he had an idea when he spotted a rock at the edge of the rooftop. Turning to his human form (well vampire form) he grabbed the rock and spotted Tala down below, he threw the rock hard making it sound like he ran into something farther off.

The trick worked as Ray watched Tala run off towards the sound. And with that he jumped down and faced the wall.

"Hilary! Hilary!" he cried banging on the wall hard.

The sound made Hilary shot up into a sitting position. Again she heard yelling. "Hilary!"

She turned around to hear the banging coming from the other side of the wall. "Ray?…Is that you?" she asked a little tired.

Ray heard her and smiled. "Yes! Yes! It's me! Listen I need you to go unlock the front door before Tala finds me! Okay!" he cried. Hilary could tell by Ray's voice that he was scared and tired. "O-Okay I'm hurrying!" she shouted jumping out of her bed and dashing to the door.

She shot open the bedroom door and she earned a strange look from Kai. She then unlocked the door and ran to find Ray leaning up against the wall eyes opened wide. "Ray! Ray! What's the matter!" she gasped running towards him. Ray turned to her. "Hilary, I'm sorry," he whispered he placed his hand on the side of her neck and kissed her. Hilary fell to the ground. "You'll wake up soon baby…and it'll all be gone," he said turning around to the opened door.

He pulled the door shut and locked it. "Kai!" he snapped. Kai turned around only to see the vampire jump at him, then it all went black!

Tala turned the corner to see Hilary on the ground. "Hilary!" he gasped. He knelt down next to her. Sure he had a little feelings for her but he couldn't help her now. "Ray?" she whispered. Tala looked at the girl for a minuet. The brunette sat up. "No…it's you Tala…save Ray!" she cried grabbing the hunter into a hug. "Please save him," she then laid a small kiss upon his cheek. Then she passed out and fell into her arms.

Tala felt tears and he held her. "Don't worry I'll put him out of his misery…I'm sorry, but I have to," Tala whispered. Then a cry was heard and Tala swung the girl onto his back. He couldn't leave her out here to catch a cold.

He then kicked open the door to see Kai on the floor, eyes opened wide and skin even whiter. Tala walked up to him and touched him. It was cold, very cold. "Kai! I'm sorry! I tried to stop him!" He ran into Kai's room hearing a noice.

There he saw Ray looking throught Kai's Vampire weapons trunk. He turned around to see Tala with Hilary on his back. That when Tala noticed tears in the vampire's eye. He stood up and walked towards Hilary. Tala noticed a wooden stake in his hand.

Hilary woke up and saw Ray. She smiled and got off of Tala's back and ran to him. She hugged him and kissed him on the nose. "I thought you were going to die,": she cried. Ray held her closer and placed his lips upon hers. "Hilary…I need you to do me a favor," he said kissing her forehead.

"What," she said with her sweet smile. "Kiss me…one last time," he said taking her hand, the one with the stake in it. Hilary was confused. But she just kissed him. Tala knew what was going to happen and he knew Ray wanted him to be with her through the hard times.

Ray and Hilary kissed for a long time with a passion. Ray raised his hand with Hilary's hand and the stake. "I love you and I will always love you," Ray then hit the stake against his chest. Piecing through his clothes and skin into the heart. "Goodbye Hilary…I love you!" then all of a sudden Ray turned to dust.

Hilary fell to her knees and looked at the dagger in her hand and the dust on the ground. "Ray…Ray…baby, w-what just, happened…Ray," she cried She dug her fingers into the dust as tears poured from her eyes.

Tala walked towards Hilary and put his hand on her back. "Hilary, um…I have to tell you something," he said. It was quiet but then Hilary turned around fast and hugged Tala. "Tala! What just happened!" she cried. Tala held her close. "Hilary, I'm well…I love you!" he whispered.

Hilary whipped her tears and looked at Tala's icy blue eyes. "Really Tala?" He nodded. Hilary wrapped her arms around his neck. "Tala…I do love you but I also miss Ray…I don't know!" Tears started to form in her eyes. Tala whipped them away and smiled.

"It's okay…I think Ray would like for you to have someone to love…really," he then kissed her. It was a long kiss.

Kai walked in. "Kai! Your alive!" Hilary gasped. Tala turned around. Kai was alive. "I used holy water, it knocked the demon vampire right out of me," he then looked at the dust left by Ray, Ray's ashes. "I guess Ray didn't use holy water cause he was angered by himself, I'm sorry Hilary," he said.
