Okay let's see what happens next ;)

Thanks for the reviews.

~ Clare's P.o.v ~

The farther I moved away from him the sadder he looked and it killed me. I was just about to go on his horse and turn back around towards my dressing room, but he spoke up.

"Clare please don't do this. Don't be frightened of me. You know I can get out of hand sometimes. I can't lose yo –"

"Oh gosh Eli. You already are going to lose me! Whether it's me walking away from this Eli person that has taken over MY ELI'S body, or it's you killing more people and then going on with your plan with this 'production' of yours and having somebody recognize you and kill you. You know what. Now I'm starting to believe everybody else with the way you're acting right now." As soon as I said it I regretted it. I immediately looked at him and he was about to have a panic attack

"El-"

~ Eli's P.o.v ~

Did she really just say that? I admit I got out of hand tonight, but to go that far? I swear my heart stopped when she said that.

I could tell she regretted what she said as soon as she said it, but that didn't change the fact that she said it.

"El-"She started to say until I interrupted her.

"What Clare? Why aren't you gone? I mean you don't want to risk your life being alone in the same room as a murderer. I mean nobody would hear you scream if I had my way with you right now. Or what if I tried to rape you like Jake huh? Would that be better for you Clare? I'm so sorry that I realized my love for you was much stronger than my frightened emotions of coming out into the real world. Gosh I realized I would have to leave you once they figured out who I was, but I would rather leave this selfish world while living my last birthday performing on a stage with you. Making your father happy, my parents happy, Julia happy, myself happy, and I thought it would've made you happy, but I guess not. I guess our love isn't strong enough for you to be able to know I died happily because my last night was spent with you" I was tearing up now and having an anxiety attack.

I knew what Clare was going to do. She was going to run away. The first night she arrived, she would've calmed me down whether she hated my guts or not, but now I've pushed her so far she doesn't want anything to do with me. I've pushed her so far she's a different person now. I gave up on her the first time things got tough. I wouldn't blame her for running away right now although I wanted nothing more than for her to stay with me. For her to just say 'I'll give you one more chance Eli. Just please calm down for my sake?' and then she would pull me to bed while we cuddle and forget everything I just fucked up. But I don't see that happening.

I looked over at her and she was violently shaking with tears in her eyes. It looked like she needed comfort too. I could be wrong, but I took the chance I walked over to her picked her up and took her to my bed.

We cuddled and just cried together. I thought it was never going to stop.

~ Clare's P.o.v ~

He snapped out of it. My Eli's back. The Eli who is able to cry right in front of me and know what's going on in my head without me saying anything; he's back. The Eli I loved is here with me holding onto me for dear life while crying with me in unison.

"I love you Eli." I finally said "I'm sorry for what I said. I know you didn't kill Julia and I know you would never hurt me. It's just sometimes you don't stop until you get what you want and you will do whatever it takes. Even if it means killing somebody. You turn into a different Eli. Not the one I love, but somebody who is evil and it frightens me. Oh Eli. It frightens me until I am about to break." I said as he pulled me closer to him.

"I know it scares you. It scares me too. I don't want to be like that. I don't want to be a completely different person, but I can't help it. It's become a habit I've created since I've been alone my whole life. When you came you fixed me, and then you left me to protect me and I was emotional and I couldn't help but start my habit up again. I needed you Clare. At that point I didn't care if Jake said anything about me. I would have you to keep me calm until I was killed. I love you Clare. I'm sorry for everything I fucked up" he said looking me in the eyes. Now it was his turn to shake violently.

"Eli. I'm not leaving you this time. I won't leave you again. I thought leaving you to protect you would be worth the risk. And it kept you alive, but it was killing me. I hate Jake. I had to pretend I was actually starting to fall for him so he wouldn't burst. It killed me Eli it killed me. Every time I said 'I love you' to him I had to picture your face, your voice in my mind in order to go through with it." I said

What he did next suddenly had shocked me. He pulled me his chest and kissed my lips while hovering over me. This isn't the first time I've had sexual attention from a man. But Eli was no ordinary man. Eli made me feel different from anybody else. He made me feel passionate. He made me feel like I deserved to be happy. And for this I loved him even more. I then thought of something that would let Eli and me be together forever. Out in the real world, but where no one would recognize him. We could be free. We could do what we love, maybe buy a ranch, and start a family together. We could be forever and always. We would get married before any of it of course, but I think it was a good plan. We would just have to figure out when to leave.

"Eli. I have a plan. A plan where we can be together forever out in the real world. We would be free. Free of this madness. Free of the crime you are blamed for. A place where we can have a fresh start, get married, and start a family." I said and he looked at me curiously as he pulled away from my lips and continued to kiss down my neck to my collarbone.

He then pulled away all together and I was about to whimper from the loss, but he spoke up.

"And what would this plan of yours be?" he said with the sexiest look in his eyes and his smirk that I loved so much plastered on his face.

I was a bit hesitant, because I didn't know if he would agree with me. But it was worth a sho-

"Spit it out Edwards" he said impatiently.

"Well is somebody a little impatient? You know my dear, patience is a virtue. Now I think I'll wait to tell you of my brilliant plan" I said with a smirk. He had a devilish grin on his face.

"Wha- hahahahahah – Eli sto- Elijah – hahahaha- sto-" I said as he tickled me.

"I'll stop when you tell me your ' oh so brilliant plan' Edwards."

"Okay. Okay. I surrender. I'll tell you." I said out of breath.

"Good. Now proceed." He said satisfied.

"Okay. I know it sounds crazy, but … run away with me. We could go far, far away from here. Start a new life, get married, maybe buy a ranch, and then start a family of miniature people who look just like us. Or we could buy a theatre wherever we run off to and do what we love most." I looked at him. He was frozen.

I waited a few minutes and he was still frozen.

"Eli. Say something? Please?" Nothing. "Eli?" Nothing "ELI!" Still nothing. There was only one thing I could try.

I brought his face to mine and kissed him until he snapped out of it and kissed me back. We would have turned this into a make out session if he didn't pull away.

"Clare. As much as I want to run away with you. Have a chance to live in the real world. Get married and make little Eli and Clare's to run around… I can't. I'm scared." Wow that hurt. I thought he was getting over this. I thought I brought him out of this and he turned into the brave Eli I know he was deep down inside.

"Okay I get it." I said as tears were starting to come down my face and I got off his bed and walked towards his horse.

Just as I was about to leave he grabbed me around the waist and held me to his chest and put his head on my shoulder and soothingly whispered in my ear "Clare. Don't run away from me again. I want to be able to give you the life you deserve. I just need you to persuade me to go along with it. I don't want to be this coward. You're the only person who can snap me out of it. I didn't say no because I was rejecting you so get that thought out of your head right now. We just need to pan this correctly so we can get out of here without being caught."

God at this point I don't care if he wanted to lock us both up in a cage for the rest of our lives. I need this man right now. I turned around and kissed him in a way I've never kissed him before. He responded fairly quickly and I pushed him against the wall. He started to run his hands all over my body and I loved it. I started to moan in his mouth as he grunted in mine and it made me want him even more. He then turned us around so I was pushed up against the wall. I then wrapped my legs around his waist as he continued to kiss down my collar bone.

He then carried mei to his bed and hovered over me. I started to unbutton his shirt. And he stopped us.

"Are you sure?" he asked me. I shook my head yes.

"I love you Eli. I'm ready to have you. I need you. I've needed you since the first night you appeared in my dreams."

He then smirked and started to untie my dress in the back and slipped it off, and then he untied my corset and let it go. He just kept staring at my breasts.

"My god Clare you're beautiful." I blushed and he smirked. I continued to undress him and he made love to me.

I couldn't get enough. I loved him too much. This was definitely much better than anything I've experienced before with a man.

Dam! Alright. Review ;)
