Chapter 8

*Vivian's P.O.V*

"W-what did y-you say?" I said.

Maka looked at me. She could obviously see my fear. "Do you know him?"

I looked over at Night to make sure he was still asleep. Night would get angry just at the mention of the name I now spoke. "James is his name."

"What happened?" I could tell she was worried because the tone of her voice.

"W-we were in love." I stopped. Talking about him was hard, but I knew that she needed to know. "H-he was so… amazing and k-kind. I thought he was my soul mate. That he would always take care of me."

There was a noise from the other side of the room. I looked at Night to be sure he hadn't awakened. He was still fast asleep.

I looked at Maka and continued. "But then, he changed. He started following me everywhere. He wouldn't leave me alone." Maka was listening intently. "I would try to get away, but he would follow me. If I was at home, he would stand outside of my window for hours. I started to get frightened." I paused lost in the thought of the days I sat in bed awake because I knew he was just outside. "Then I tried to talk to him about it…" I knew my face must have gone grave from Maka expression. "It didn't go well."

"What happened?"

"I told him I needed my space and that he could follow me all the time. He told me that he was only worried that I might get hurt. We agued about it for a few minutes until I finally said, 'This isn't going to work, we should break up'. He just stared at me in shock. I just turned to walk away, then…" I stopped as the memory came flooding back to me.

_Flashback_

I turned to walk away. James grabbed my arm.

"What do you mean?" He yelled.

"I'm breaking up with you." I said, staying calm.

He got angry. "Why? Just because I'm worried about you?" His grip tightened as he continued. "I'm just trying to protect you! You're so fragile! You can't blame me for being worried about you!"

"Let go! You're hurting me!" I struggled to get out of his grip, but he didn't let go or loosen the death grip he had on my arm.

"I just have your best interest in mind!" The rest he muttered darkly and it scared me. "I'll just have to make you see what I see."

"Stop. Let go!" I begged.

He was dragging me through the abandoned streets. No matter what I did, I couldn't get out of his grip. Finally, I kicked him. He slapped me in the face and I fell to the ground with tears streaming down my face.

He knelled beside. "Oh, look what you did. You made me slap the most important thing to me." He reached out to touch me, but I stood up and ran. He followed me easily.

He almost had me, but then I ran into someone. A boy. We both fell to the ground. "S-sorry." I stammer. "I d-didn't mean-" my apology was cut by James grabbing me and roughly pulling me up.

"You're coming with me." James said.

I must have looked scared because the boy stood up and separated James and me. He stood in front of me. "She isn't going anywhere with you."

"Stay out of this." James said. "Now hand her over." The boy shook his head. That's what started the fight.

I didn't know what to do. I was scared and I felt completely useless. Then James knocked the boy to the ground and was about to hit him. "Don't!" Suddenly, I was changing and the boy caught me and used me to defend himself. I was so surprised. It was the first time I had ever changed.

"Get him!" Someone yelled and then we were surrounded by three guys and one woman. "Where do you think you're going." One of the guys said.

After that was kind of a blur through the fight, but me and the boy made a good team. Finally, he escaped.

After a lot of running, he stopped. He was sure we'd lost them. "That was close." he said as I changed back.

"I-I'm Vivian." I said introducing myself.

"Night." he said. It took me a moment to realize that was his name.

_End Flashback_

"L-lets j-just say a lot happened after that." I told Maka. I didn't want to get into detail.

"That's when you met Night, right?" she asked. I nodded.

That's when we heard a banging on the door. I gulped. What if it was him?

The banging woke Night up and he was headed toward the door with alarm written on his face. He opened the door cautiously. When he opened it completely I saw that it was Kid and he didn't look well.

"Kid what happened?" Maka asked him in fear. Night looked outside for danger.

He looked like he'd been beaten up. He opened his mouth to say something, but instead fell down on the ground.

"Kid." I ran over to him. "Kid." I shook him, but he didn't open his eyes. I sighed giving up. "W-what do you think happened to him?" I asked Maka.

"I don't know, but whoever did this to him must have been strong and a good fighter." Maka said. "Kid wouldn't doesn't go down easy."

"I wonder who did it." I said.

"James and Dawn." Night answered darkly glaring out the window. I went over and looked out too. There in the middle of the street was James. Beside him was Night's sister Dawn. "They've formed an alliance to get to us." Night said.

I looked around. I didn't spot Night's brother, or his father. Neither did I spot the man who always wore the mask, which is weird because Dawn was never anywhere without at least one of the three. "This is bad."

Night nodded.

Chapter 8 finally finished! Again, sorry it took so long.
