A/N: Well this hasn't happened in a while, has it? I got an amazing response from the last chapter, and before I go out of town tomorrow, I decided to be oh so nice, and give you another chapter! The song that I used in the beginning and end of this chapter, is probably one of Ronnie's theme songs, because it fits so well! So, here we go!

Thank you to my BEAUTIFUL reviewers PrincessOfTheVampires, Christineexx, RoxyPony, xTeamShanx, Ferretgirlsz, MISSxMAGIC, FutureStar27 and SUSHIxMONSTER


So many bright lights to cast a shadow, but can I speak?

Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?

A life that's so demanding, I get so weak

A love that's so demanding, I can't speak -Famous Last Words, My Chemical Romance


"Kayden, what's wrong?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows together and leaning closer to her. It was rare to see Kade like this, and it really made me nervous. She looked up at me shakily and nodded her head, almost instantly her calm and cool facade returned and she was the Kade that I always saw. It was almost scary how quickly she had changed, and hid her feelings. The scarier part of it is how I knew I did the same thing most of the time.

"It's nothing," she coughed, standing up and grabbing me by the wrist and pulling me up with her, "the sun is about to go down, so we need to go save Cassie!" I nodded in agreement, knowing that even if I prodded and tried to get it out of her, Kade wouldn't tell me. When we arrived back into the hotel room, Larten was already awake and leaning over Darren shaking him awake.
"We are only about an hour or two away from our destination. I hope that you are all ready." Larten said steadily. Kade rocked back and forth on her heels, cracking her knuckles,

"I was born ready. I'm ready to kick some vampaneze ass!". Darren walked up beside me and gave me a small smile, this whole friends thing was somewhat working out. Even though I tried to look at him as just a friend, my heart totally fucked me over and did flips in my chest. But my head was too stubborn to let it become anything.

"Are you nervous?" He asked quietly, sliding on a jacket.

"Kind of." I breathed honestly.

"Don't worry, Cassie is going to be fine." he said, placing a hand on my shoulder and giving it a firm squeeze.

"She fucking better be." I answered, pulling away from his grip and following Larten and Kade out of the door.

"I say we just bust in there, and then slap the dumbfounded look off of their faces!" Kade whispered in a hushed tone. We were posted outside of the building where they held Cassie. We had followed a vampaneze that we had seen walking on the street and they had undoubtedly lead us to the spot where they held her captive. With my hearing, through the walls I could hear Cassie choking back tears. My heart felt like it was going to be pulled out of my chest.

"Will you quit your whining?" I heard Anastasia snap from inside the walls.

"Let's just go!" I agreed, walking up to the door and kicking it down with the heel of my shoe. I saw Cassie, tied up to a chair. Tears were pooled up in her eyes, and she was covered in crimson. Anastasia leaned over her, a dagger dancing around along her fingers.

"Well, well. I wondered how long it would take for you to get here." She grinned, lunging at me with all of her speed. She pinned me to the wall and laughed maliciously. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Kade fighting one of her vampaneze counterparts, laughing triumphantly as he fell to the ground lifeless.

"Let her go, you crazy bitch!" I snapped, throwing her back into the cabinets of the small apartment. She jumped up quickly and started to throw jabs and kicks at me, our nails aiming at eachother's throat. Slamming into one of the makeshift tables, it collapsed on the floor beneath me.

"We better make this fast, don't want to wake the neighbors." Anastasia cackled leaning over me. I used my foot to project her away from me- but once again we were wrestling on the floor when I heard the only voice that would put me off guard.

"Let's stop this fighting now, we got them here, let's not waste anymore time."

"But why can't I kill her?" Anastasia whined.

"Because you cant!" The voice boomed. Tears already started to well in my eyes as Anastasia left from ontop of me and I saw the source of the voice.

"Steve." I stammered, standing up even though my legs beneath me felt like pools of jello.

"Ronnie..." he started, walking towards me. He lifted a hand to reach towards my face, but I slapped it away viciously. I saw Kade exchange glances with Darren, eyes wide.

"What are you doing?" I asked, my voice squeaking off at the end. I despised how weak I sounded, no matter how strong I tried to be.

"You couldn't understand. You know I love you." He said apologetically.

"Love me? What is with you people? Is there another type of love that I don't know about?" I growled, tears clouding my vision. "Why, Steve? Why?"

"Because, I was following orders. I'm a vampaneze, Ronnie. And once I knew that you weren't going to come to my side, I decided to stop hiding it from you. I mean, you are kind of stupid not seeing it sooner. I proposed to you, and you still left me. That showed me that you were still in love with stupid Shan, and I wouldn't be able to change you." His words hit me right in the gut, how had this happened? His eyes didn't glimmer the same, the danger that I found so alluring was now real danger. He was evil. I ripped the wedding ring off of my finger and threw it straight at his face. He started to lunge forward at me, but another vampaneze grabbed his arm.

"You know you cannot kill her, he would be very upset."

"Whatever, Gannen." He looked over at Cassie and motioned to her, "you can take her. Anastasia wont be anymore of a problem. I just needed a way to lure you here, anyways."

"What! But she's my favorite prey." Anastasia pouted.

"You're going to leave her alone." Steve growled once again. Anastasia just bit her lip and walked out of the room, with Gannen and the other surviving vampaneze following behind them. Before shutting the door behind him, Steve turned around and gave me a apologetic glance.
"This had to be done, Ronnie. I just wish you would have chosen my side- I would love to rule the world with you at my side."
"Go fuck yourself, dickwad." And with that, Steve Leonard was gone. My heart felt as though all the bandaids that had repaired it once again had fallen apart- and the hurt overwhelmed me, I almost felt as though I was going to throw up. I was never going to depend on anyone ever again, ever. My mind was going in a million different directions, but that wasn't what I was worried about. It was Cassie.

"Cassie, Cassie!" I panicked, rushing over to her and removing the gauze from out of her mouth. Cassie was exceptionally tough, especially after all the training Kade had given the at the mountain, so I didn't understand why she was crying so hard. Sure, they probably had tortured her, and I don't blame her. But I didn't understand why she was bawling.

"What's wrong, Cass? Did they really torture you that much?" I whispered as she ducked into my arms, crying into my shoulder.
"It's not me I'm worried about." She sobbed into my chest.

"What do you mean?"
"I'm pregnant."


Can you see my eyes are shining bright

Cause I'm out here on the other side

Of a jet black hotel mirror and I'm so weak

Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?


REVIEW PLEASE, THEY MAKE ME SO HAPPY:)
