Thanks to all you reviewers! I'm sooooooo sorry I haven't updated, but I got a new Mac for Christmas (squeals rather loudly) and haven't figured out how to transfer my files yet. I also can't figure out how to install Word onto my computer, so Geek Squad is coming tomorrow! Anyways, I don't want to put my story up for adoption, but I really need ideas right now, as I am having the worse case of writer's block of my life. One more thing, before we start: you guys review and tell me who's POV you want the next chapter to be in!!!

Talon's POV

I have never been completely alone before. Bathroom breaks don't count. This alone is where you know you're the only person around. This is completely and utterly alone.

Let me tell you, it sucks.

Sure, I (like any other guy) need peace and quiet. But this quiet? It's just creepy. It's like the whole world has been wiped out, and I'm the last person alive.

Very creepy.

According to my whole day and a half of Boy Scout training, I should take in my surroundings. At least, that's what you're supposed to do if you're lost.

Too bad the manual didn't have a chapter on being the last man on Earth.

Here's my observations that I took like the good little Boy Scout I was.

Temperature: how the heck am I supposed to know? It's hot, I'm sweating.

Surroundings: trees…trees…more trees. And some grass and sky thrown in there too.

Wind: not to be found. I am dead serious; there is no wind here. That's not normal…

Other Notes: I'm hungry. I can't remember the last time I ate. I can't remember how long I've been here. I don't know how I got here. I don't know where my twin is.

There's obviously a lot I don't know.

Zane's POV

Evangeline has started freaking again. Max, I mean Aunt Max and her are holding each other and rocking back and forth. Max gave us a glare that clearly told us to scat.

And fast.

So Fang and I bolted. Hormonal females always gave me the creeps anyways. We ended up standing in the back yard, awkwardly gazing at our feet, trees, the sky, anywhere besides each other.

"So…" Fang tried to start the conversation.

"Yea…" Smooth old me

"You and Evangeline…" He hinted.

"Umm…no?" I felt myself turning red already.

"You don't sound so sure about that." Fang laughed. I chuckled awkwardly. "Ha. Ha."

"That sounded oddly forced boy." Fang grinned, referring to my laugh.

"Yup." I said awkwardly, popping the 'p'.

Just then Evangeline came outside, tears still running down her cheeks. She didn't say anything, just came over and looped her arms around me. I put my arm around her shoulders, just as we have done every day of our lives.

Nevertheless, Fang raised an eyebrow at me. I scowled at him.

"I'll just leave you two alone…" He hinted, grinning wickedly at me. I sighed and started swaying back and forth as Evangeline sobbed into my shirt.

I was so used to this, I was practically waterproof.

"Shhh…It's not ok now, but it will be." I rocked back and forth as she continued to sob.

"Evangeline…" I started rubbing circles on her back, forcing her to relax.

I heard her sobs turn into dry hiccups, but Evangeline kept her head rested on my chest. My neck felt sore from bending over, so I rested it on Evangeline's head.

Evangeline's wings started unfurling, as they did when she was at her most relaxed position, in my arms. I was still awed by the jet black that contrasted my own light brown. I heard a crash of thunder and looked up at the sky just as hard drops of water started falling, mixing with Evangeline's tears on the ground.

"Stupid rain. Makes the stupid ground wet. Stupid ground…" Evangeline burst out in tears again. I sighed and started rocking again.

The rain pattered down on Evangeline's hair, making it slick. I was tempted to run my hand over it, but kept my hands firmly around Evangeline. As the rain started pouring harder down, I spread out my wings, shielding Evangeline and myself from the rain.

Evangeline's sobs had subsided, but we didn't move. We stood in the rain, wet, cold, and yet perfectly happy.

Evangeline sighed and looked up at me. "I don't know what happened. One minute I was hugging my mom, the next I felt this overwhelming sense of aloneness. Like I'm all alone in the world. The last person on Earth."

"But you don't believe that. You have proof you're not the last person on Earth." I tried to explain to her.

"I didn't mean like that. I know I'm not the last person on Earth physically, I feel like I'm the last person on Earth…souley."

"Souley?" I asked, eyebrows raised.

"Oh you know what I mean. Like in my soul. Not like the shoe."

"So you believe everyone has lost their soul?" I was thoroughly confused at this point.

"I don't know what to believe." Evangeline looked on the point of tears again.

"Do you know what I believe?" I prompted, building up my confidence for the moment of truth.

"What?" Evangeline turned her flashing green eyes on me, nearly making me lose my train of thought.

"I think, once in your lifetime you find someone. Someone who understands you, someone who needs you just as much as you need them. Someone who is different from you, yet the same. I think you can see your soul inside someone else."

"You mean like a soul mate?" Evangeline looked confused, yet understanding at the same time.

"I guess that's one way to put it." Sure, I had to go using a bunch of emotional words when I could have used only two.

"Too bad. You said a soul mate is someone who needs you just as much as you need them. That means I can't be your soul mate because I need you way more than you need me." Evangeline turned away from me, but stayed under the shelter of my wings.

"Do you really think that?" I let my amusement leak into my voice.

"It's not funny!" Evangeline cried.

"You're right. It's completely serious." I said as I picked Evangeline up by her waist so her face was a few inches above mine. She squeaked as her feet left a few feet off the ground.

"Just like me." I kissed Evangeline, feeling relief flood through me when she immediately started kissing me back. Her fingers made circles around the back of my neck, making me shiver even though I wasn't cold.

"Just like me…" I trailed off as Evangeline kissed me again.

Liked it? Hated it? Tell me! It was kinda fluffy at the end, but someone was PMing me a billion times to get some EvangelineXZane in there. Eane? Zvangeline? Zangeline? Same difference…

Anyways, about the beginning. The reason there's no wind will be revealed in following chapters. Feel free to take guess though! Remember, Talon was left with the Erasers. But he's not dead or anything, don't worry! Sorry it took so long to upload this, I think the site was having problems.
