A/N- Hayy all! I'm just here to say that this story isn't over until I put a THE END author's note at the end of a chapter... so don't assume the worst if I don't update for a while... I have major writer's block problems sometimes... So here's Chapter 64 of Bloodthirsty with (I'm gonna hope) plenty more to come! :) Enjjooyy!

Hayley's POV

I stepped through the door and noticed it was warmer inside than it was outside, and that kinda surprised me because normally it was really cold in here. I heard the door shut and felt Ross wrap his arms around my waist and spin me around and lay me down on the couch. I was looking up into Ross's sparkling brown eyes. "I love you" he said smiling.

"Love you too Ross"

"I'm really sorry I let anything happen to you"

"Eh, it's alright... I'm getting past it, aren't I?"

"Yeah... but I wish you wouldn't have had to deal with it in the first place"

"Ross, stop worrying about me so much! I'm able to handle myself, we both know that! You're acting as if I'm some fragile little girl or something!"

"Hayley, I'm always going to have to and want to protect you, and when things happen, you may tell me not to worry or freak out over it but I can't help myself but do so because you're all I've ever wanted and all I've ever needed and if I lose you and I know I could've stopped it... I won't be able to be happy ever again and I'll never be able to live with myself"

"I know Ross... I feel the same way"

He bent over and kissed me. I held his face in my hands and felt him running his hand down my side to rest it on my hip. Ross trailed his other hand over my cheek, grazed down the side of my neck and I felt him trailing 2 fingers down my collarbone. I shivered at the touch of Ross's soft fingers trailing along my skin. "Ross..." I mumbled quietly into his lips. He didn't move his hand from the bottom of my collarbone and I felt him smile devilishly as he continued to kiss me. I felt Ross running his fingers along the edge of my neck and then he pulled back a little surprised. I looked up at him, wondering what the f*** just happened. "What? What'd I do? What's wrong?" I asked sliding backwards and sitting up. He kept looking at my neck. "Where's the necklace?" he asked.

"Huh?"

"The necklace I gave you a few months ago, to help with your sister, what happened to it?!"

I reached my hand up, finally realizing what he was talking about, and didn't feel it. My eyes went wide and I looked over at him. "I- I don't know... wait... oh my God" I said starting to remember.

"Hayley" he said cautiously sliding over next to me "Where is the necklace?"

"I- I think... *sigh* I think Kathy took it"

"What?! How could that have happened?!"

"When she yanked me up off the bed! I felt a bit of a tightening around my neck and then it loosened! She must've snapped it off my neck!"

"We're in deep s*** now" Ross said getting up off the couch and walking towards the foyer and the stairs. I got up and followed him. "What? Why?" I asked getting really worried now. Ross wouldn't answer me and I followed him into my room where he went looking around to where it would be but found nothing and I followed him into his room and shut the door. I spun Ross around to look at me and he looked in the opposite direction. "You know, just because I'm shorter than you doesn't mean I can't hurt you" I threatened. He blew a breath upward and it moved his hair off to the side a bit. He looked over at me. "Hayley, in the wrong hands, if she knows how to use that thing, she could easily kill me off and put you under some control or amnesia spell so that you wouldn't remember me or her trying to turn you or anything from the time things started getting bad for you... I think she and her boyfriend hired Ryan to get you away from me and I think they'll be coming after us themselves as their second result now" he explained.

"Do you think fate may be trying to tell us something?" I asked softly. Ross looked at me like I was crazy. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, we've been going through nothing but life threatening events since I've come around, things that have threatened to tear us apart, and then once we overcome one, we run into another... do you think fate is trying to tell us that wearen't supposed to be together?"
