"I want my SON out of the KG, NOW!!" Torn's mother screamed at the Baron with full force and authority. Torn spied around the corner.

"I'm sorry Ms. Blackheart, but you know the rules. He drops out now then he is committing treason. It's a violation of the KG code. He would be indicted and would face a sever trial in court and would automatically be found guilty." The Baron calmly explained.

"I don't give a RATS ASS about the KG! He is my son and I am his mother, and we all have choices! Your JOB is to help us citizens, NOT DICTATE everyone!"

"Ms. Blackheart, your job is to quiet your voice and it certainly does not entail telling me what my job is," His voice rose a little out of anger then he gave her a wicked glare. "You know your ranting has gotten your husband killed. We'd HATE to see Torn get killed." Ms. Blackheart gasped.

"You wouldn't..."

"I would. If you wouldn't have made your husband quit, then we wouldn't have had to kill him. It's a shame...he was a good man." The Baron smiled with malevolence. Torn's mother stormed out of the room out of frustration. Torn blended in with the wall and tried to forget what he had seen...or heard.

"It's complicated, Selena. The Baron made you a weapon to defeat the metal heads, but you see if you fail...to him you are useless to him and must be...well let's just say the project will be...terminated." Erol explained to Selena, uneasily. Selena gasped.

"So all I am is...just a tool?" Selena said, holding back a tear.

"Do NOT worry, Selena. I will always protect you and ALWAYS be there for you. I will never give up on you." Erol's voice grew unstable and more weak with every word he conjured. Selena hugged him. It has been a month and he ribs were healing, they still hurt, but healing.

"Erol these past months have been awesome, but the eco in me is so unstable and I cannot control it. I have a feeling I am going to be terminated." She said reluctantly. Erol kissed her on the lips.

"Do not say that. I WON"T LET IT HAPPEN." His voice was stern. She took his face in her hands and kissed him deeper. He kissed back, then he pulled back and looked into her eyes. "I love you, Selena..." Selena almost choked on the air. The hair stood upon her neck and all the blood rushed to her face. "He did it. He finally dropped the L-bomb! He loves me!" Selena screamed inside. She took in this moment for a minute, feeling the sensation, and taking it all in. This was the first time she has ever been in love and the last. She wanted this moment to last forever.

"I love you to, Erol..." She finally replied. She eagerly kissed his lips. She pulled back, a tear in her right eye. Erol seen it and quickly wiped it away.

"I have been wanting to ask you this, Selena. I didn't know when to do it, but here it goes..." He took a deep breath. He went to his knees holding her hands. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring box. "Selena Aero Blackheart...I will love you irrevocably and unconditionally forever and ever. Long after this world dies...After the day our hearts beat and we meet in heaven I will love you. Death cannot do us part...will you marry me?" Erol smiled a little nervously. Selena bit her fingernails a little nervously, but as soon as she looked at him, all her fears ceased to exist.

"I will." She whispered and then kissed him. He had kissed her back more passionately than before. The kissing got more deeper every second. Selena felt as though she were lighter than air. They walked into the bedroom and Erol laid on top her kissing her more deeply than before. "I have never done this before, Erol." Selena said calmly.

"Neither have I." He said, kissing her again.

"Ashelin!" Torn called. She turned so quickly, it could have given her whiplash.

"Hm?" She smiled up at him.

"What is up with your father telling my mother that she is inadvertently the reason for my father's death?" Torn questioned, putting both hands on his hips. Ashelin's face turned into a frown and grew reluctant to hear the question. She closed her eyes and shook his head.

"I'm sorry Torn. I've wanted to tell you for so long...but..." Ashelin paused to find a menacing glare from Torn.

"You've known, but you never told me." His voice was silent but threatening. Ashelin choked on her saliva, and she was speechless. "You know what? Don't even bother." He said evilly, walking away...

Selena woke up to find Erol had left. She was a bit confused. She walked out into the kitchen to find a not from Erol.

My Dear Selena,

I went down to the palace to talk to the Baron. Do not worry, I will be back soon. Just wanted to talk to me about some things going on. No need to worry, will explain later. Love you times infinity...

Love,

Erol.

Erol wrote it in perfect cursive, but Selena knew there was something wrong when the letters were so dark. It meant he was worried about something. Selena got dressed and headed to the palace.
