Sorry for the delay! Here's the next chapter! Thank you for the comments. I'm still getting use to the formatting on this website, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

"Lily!", Omi said as he pounded on her bedroom door. He stopped at the sound of the doorknob turning. The Violet version of Lily slowly opened the door to Omi. She looked pale and sickly as if she had seen a ghost.
"Lily..ah..are you okay?", he asked with concern.
"I…I just woke up", she lied.
"We need to talk."
"Sure", she said.
He walked inside and sat on her bed. She sat beside him, and rubbed her
temples once again.
"There was a man at the shop this morning who sent you these."
He pushed the roses into her lap. She opened the card and read the note and sighed. So he was back. Not that she
hadn't figured that out already, but this was kinnda his…calling card. His way of letting her know that whatever was going to happen had started.
"Omi…if I tell you what's going on will you promise not to tell the other boys?"
"Lily, if you're in danger we need to tell the others. That's half of the reason why you
joined Weiss"
"I Know! I…just….I want to try and deal with this on my own first. If it
looks like I can't do it…I tell the others."
"But that's really risky! You nee-"
"I know! but I have to try…Its my fault…please Omi try to understand."
The blonde pulled his hand through his hair, and closed his eyes in defeat.
"Alright, but the moment this guy sends you something else we're telling Weiss…okay?"
"Thanks Omi"
"So who is this guy Lily?"
"His name is Leo Mace."
"Why is he stalking you?"
"He wasn't always like this. Our families owned a small theater in America, and we grew
up together. One day the theater caught fire and his entire family was killed. My family
inherited the insurance money and opened up a very successful opera house. He was all
alone so we kind of adopted him. He and I started to date when I turned 15, and he took
it really seriously. He said he wanted us to get married and be a couple for the world to
envy. So he went off to boarding school in Europe to become an archeologist while I
finished high school.
When he returned he was…different. Before he left he was sweet, kind, and always dreaming
about the future. The day he came back it was like….I don't know….like he was a completely
different person. His eyes almost seemed…darker somehow.
He and my twin brother Jame were best friends, but Leo was so cold to him.
They got into a fight and Leo just took off. We didn't see him for almost a year. Then my
parents died in a car accident and my sisters just disappeared one at a time...and then Jame….
He showed up at each of their funerals and taunted me. I put a restraining order on him,
but he still followed me. I graduated high school and came to Japan just to get away from
him. To survive I took a job gathering information for a private detective agency. One day Persia
contacted me and I started spying for him."
"So this Leo guy found you?", Omi asked disgustedly.
"Yeah. At first I wasn't sure it was him. Every time I went to gather information for
Persia I would find pictures of myself placed around my apartment and in my car. That's
all he did. Persia became worried and asked me to join up with Weiss."
"So do you think he killed your family?", Omi asked carefully.
"It seems likely. At first I thought….I thought that it was all just a curse or something,
but then….he started showing up."
"Lily, I want you to start traveling to school with me, okay?"
"But that could blow our cover!"
"It doesn't matter!", there was a firmness to his voice that Lily had never heard before.
"If people begin to notice….we'll just tell them that you and I are dating!", Omi said
smiling.
Lily laughed, "Then you'll have to stay with me twenty-four-seven. I'll need total
security to escape the wrath of your fan club!"
