A/N: Hello all my lovelies! Guess what's back? Hooray! This one's not too long because I'm not entirely sure where it's going at the moment...

PetalFur: That was the most flippin adorable thing ever! Thank you for that! And no, sadly I hit major writers block in the middle of November and got no where near 50,000 words. Oh well, I won't give up on the story, it just won't be done anytime soon. Who knows, maybe I'll change it into some kind of fan fiction so people can read it!

I hope you all enjoy!


I had happily fallen asleep safely nestled in Sedrick's arms, his touch banishing the death and pain that seared both of us. I didn't want the next day to come for I was terrified by the aspect of dying again. I was stirred awake as my mind vaguely noticing his lips on my neck as I giggled.

"Well good morning to you too Sir." I said as I giggled again, mind still foggy.

Smiling I reached out to pull him closer to me, but froze when my mind finally registered how cold his skin was. My eyes flew open as they were met with dead, black cold ones and a large smile. I screamed and jerked away from the figure but he was quicker than me and was able to easily hold me down.

"Hello my beauty, we meet again." his voice crawled over my skin making me shudder, which only caused him to laugh.

"W-what do you want from me?" I asked surprising myself when my voice came out stronger than I felt.

The man only laughed more as I felt his tongue snake over my neck as I recoiled from him quickly, able to slip out from under him. His voice turned cold and hard as he grabbed at me.

"Oh my, why are you running?" he said, his grip on my wrist vice like.

I yelped out in pain trying my best to get free, but he wasn't having any of that. He hovered over me, a predatory look in his eyes as I was met with a white hot fire that shot up through my spine.

W-What was he doing...?

"Hm, without these pesky legs" he mused, smiling. "then you can't run."

I screamed as a pain like no other went through both my legs, causing me to jump up in a sitting position.

"What!? What is it?"

I looked around to see myself back in Sedrick's bedroom. I looked down and flexed my legs, relief flooding through me when I could move them with ease. I looked to my right toward Sedrick, a smile on my face, but it fell when I saw the frightened look on his face.

"S-sorry... did I wake you?" I asked sheepishly.

"Not really." he said, stroking the side of my face gently. "I woke a few minutes ago, but then you started screaming, and I couldn't wake you."

I smiled sheepishly and held his hand that was resting on my face. "It was just a bad dream. I'm okay." I said, trying to convince myself as well.

He eyed me for a few moments before his gaze fell on my neck and his face turn hard. "What is that?"

Confused I tried to look where he was looking, but couldn't see it for myself. "What is what?" I asked.

"There's... no!" Sedrick growled as he jumped away from me then standing up from the bed.

"What?" I asked, becoming anxious.

I stood up as well and went to the bathroom mirror. There, in the crook of my neck like it had been carved into my skin, was a circle with an X through it. With a shaky hand I reached up and touched it, hissing when it radiated pain.

"What does this mean?!" I almost yelled, walking toward Sedrick.

"No! Stay away from me!" he screamed, a look of terror on his face.

Pain shot through my heart as I looked at the fear in his eyes. "Please. What's happening?" I asked, close to tears.

"That's... that's my Mark. I leave it on someone right before I..." Sedrick's voice trailed off.

"Before you kill them?" I supplied in a whisper.

He nodded sadly, still keeping at least ten feet between us. "But I didn't do that to you... that must mean, the way you're supposed to die today..." his hands gripped into fists as he punched the wall. "No! I refuse to lose you again!"

My eyes widened at the darkness that appeared by his sides, encasing him in it as he headed toward the door.

"Wait, please! Where are you going?" I asked as I reached out towards him.

"Stay back!" Sedrick yelled, swiping at me.

I yelped as I cradled by arm to myself, feeling warmth begin to ooze out of it. His eyes widened as he quickly left the room, muttering apologizes as he went.

I stood there, dumbfounded.


A/N: Ha ha what? Really I have no idea...

On to the next!
