Hayley's POV
I pulled back from hugging Ross and looked at him, tears streaming down my cheeks. "Ross, you are the most amazing person I have ever met" I said, sadness still in my voice. Ross reached with one hand up to wipe away my tears and kept the other around my mid section, keeping me as close to him as I would let him. "Don't say that yet" he said soothingly looking me straight in the eyes
"And why not?"
"Well, I can only assure you that I can and will keep you safe from whatever this is... I haven't actually done that yet"
"Well, just being around you makes me feel better"
"Thanks"
"Anytime Rossy"
He smiled lightly and got up. I watched him walk out of the room and leave me there. I got up and went to go through the door but was hit with some weird force that knocked me backwards to the ground. I opened my eyes and saw myself in some alternate demonatic universe. I got up and walked toward a castle like place, but not under my own will power. I reached it and opened the door to find myself looking at 2 people that looked like people I knew. The girl looked a few years older then me and the boy about the same age as her. She had long curly dirty blonde hair and pale green eyes and the boy had shaggy black hair with blazing blue eyes. The girl's lips twisted into a crooked smile as she said "Welcome Hayley... we've been expecting you" she said with a sweet tone on her voice. The door slammed shut behind me, but I felt no fear. "Expecting me?" I asked confusedly.
"Well, more like... been looking for you"
She stood up and walked over to me and put two fingers to my face. I jumped a bit at the touch of ice. "You couldn't have expected anything else, could you? I mean, all vampires are cold to the touch" she said lightly and gave me a sideways smile as she tilted her head and gave a bit of an evil giggle. "No" I said "That's not true"
"Awww, isn't that cute, you think that your little protector actually has feeling and warmth. Isn't that cute Adam?" she said and looked back at the boy who nodded solemnly. She looked back at me. "You, you called him Adam?" I asked confusedly.
"Well, duh... that is his name"
"Is your name Kathy then?"
Her eyes widened "How, how do you know who I am?" she asked with a mixture of fright and surprise in her voice.
"I've been writing a story... and I think it's based off the two of you"
"You, you know our story?"
The boy, Adam, was now getting a look of concern on his face. "Well, not all of it... I only wrote half so far... it's been just, coming to me in the past few days" I explained. Kathy dropped the sweet-ish smile she had and it turned to one of taunting. "That's because... we're oh so close to finding you now Hayley... you're the last thing we need" and she laughed evilly. Once I opened my eyes I could see Ross above me with a look of shock, concern, and most of all, fear. He was shaking my shoulders and saying "Hayley? Hayley? Please get up! Show me you're still here" he was saying nervously. I slowly sat up and looked at him. "Hayley!" he shouted and hugged me "You're okay!" I jumped a little when I felt the icy touch of his skin... why haven't I felt that before?, I thought to myself. Ross pulled back and looked at me with concern. "Hayley" he said "Are you okay?"
