Hello new chap for you!

Disclaimer-duh

Reid's POV-

"This is perfect! Why didn't I think of this sooner?? We'll just run!" I thought franticly in my head "We'll come back in a few weeks so she can be with her friends and then we'll leave again! It can work!"

"Lacey, where have you always wanted to go? Anywhere you want in the whole world?" I smiled at the road

"I-I don't know—" She replied slowly being interrupted by my phone

That I refuse to pick up but it just kept ringing. She patted down the sides on the jeans looking for it. "Hello?" She answer

There was an urgent voice on the other end of the line

"Yeah, I don't know! He just put me in the car and started driving." She said looking at me there were more words from the phone but she pulled it away from her ear "Reid? Reid, what's wrong? Talk to me!"

I just hit the accelerator with out speaking

"Caleb he won't even look at me!" she said interrupting him

"Caleb…" I growled in my head and held out my hand for the phone at first she just stared at it but then slowly handed it to me "I'm doing what I think is right."

"By kidnapping her, Reid what's going on?? Did something happen with Chase?" I he asked quickly

I used knocking Lacey out and she slumped back against her seat "He's after her, C. He won't get her if she's with me." I retorted

"Reid, He'd kill you and you know it!" he yelled into the phone

"That's ok… I don't really care what happens to me." I murmured

"Reid you're not—" I shut the phone

"I'm not what, Caleb, sane, in my right mind, stable? Mind your own damn business." I finally took notice that I was still driving and focused on the road a few seconds latter I saw something coming up in the road in the blink of an eye it was on my hood with its pale deformed face stating at me… a Darkling. It was of a girl in my class that went missing a few weeks ago; no doubt Chase had killed her for seeing him do magic or something.

Its crushed hand broke a hole in the windshield and it disappeared. I was sweating but I was so cold my grip on the steering wheel didn't loosen but I started breathing raggedly. I looked over at Lacey who was still asleep.

My phone rang again it made Lacey stir to consciousness "Get your phone."

"Just ignore it and go back to sleep." I tried to sooth her but it didn't work

She reached for the phone and answered it once again "Hello?"

A loud scream ripped from the phone, I looked at her and she dropped it. She looked out the windshield "Oh my god…Reid look." I peered out of the glass and saw Darklings everywhere. On the road, in the ditches, crawling down the trees; then something caught my eye in the rear view mirror…

"Shit!" I swerved the Hummer to a stop there was another darkling in the very back of the car crawling up to us

"You can't leave…" it spoke as the other darklings converged on the car

"Reid what's happening?!" asked Lacey her face was drained of all color "There are dozens of them…a person can only send darklings that they create—that they've killed!"

"Yeah I know. He did all of this."

The darkling that was in the back seat was in front of the car pointing in the direction that we had just come from "Go back…or die…"

All of them at once started pushing the car back to Ipswitch. It started tipping side to side and I tried to drive through them but the darklings wouldn't budge

"Reid just go back!" Lacey demanded but it was too late, they tipped the car over onto its hood. Lacey screamed when the monsters out side started to reach their cold, dirty hands inside to get at us, breaking the windows in the process. She tried using to make the windows fixed but they just kept breaking and throwing tiny daggers at our weak, fragile skin.

She used snapping our seat belts and we both fell onto the grey arms. One of them grabbed for Lacey so I reached the nearest piece of glass and stabbed through the middle of its hand. It howled like a rabid animal and turned to smoke…all of them did. We were alone in the hummer…and it was in perfect condition.

"…Why is he doing this to us? What makes us so fucking important?!" her fist question was only a whisper but she screamed the second one and slammed her fist on the dash board as a single tear slid down her cheek

"He wants my power when I ascend. You're his ticket to me…" I stopped "…now I know what I have to do." I took a deep breath "Hey Lacey, can you drive I'm a little tired…"

"Sure," I pulled the car over to the shoulder of the highway we both got out of the car but I stopped her at the hood half way between her side and mine

I pulled her close to me resting my fore head against hers "I love you so much, please don't forget that."

"I-I love you too Reid." She looked down at the ground but I pulled her face up to meet my lips. I kissed her deeply, not even stopping to breathe until I was desperate for it then I continued. We went on like this for as long as I could until I knew it was time…

"Please…" I whispered against her soft, petal pink lips "Forgive me, Lacey, I'm doing this to protect you."

It felt like it happened in slow motion; I pushed Lacey down the sloping hill and tossing my phone after her. I ran back to the car and hit the gas, I looked back, lacey had climbed the hill and had tears streaming down her beautiful face. Her dress blew in the wind as my tires went flat, I fixed them easily. The windows shattered, I repaired them too. The engine stalled, I made it run… she used so hard trying to stop me. But she couldn't, I just kept driving, accelerating faster away for her. I looked back once more to see Lacey fall to her knees and put her head in her hands.

"I'm so…so sorry Lacey…"

RXR, this was a very sad chap to write.
