A/N: Hey guys! Next chapter! PLEASE REVIEW :)


Liesel's head twisted and turned tonight. The palms of her hands slowly started wet, and as the horror got even worse, they started to moisten as if she had applied three coats of the softest lotion.

Her insides began to crawl. Her eyes were glued shut and no amount of force would open them.

And though her eyes were shut, the vision was oh so vivid and crystal clear.

"I thought you loved me, Liesel," said a distant voice.

And suddenly, Rudy's sky blue eyes sat right in front of Liesel's face.

"Everything will be just fine. Just leave it to me." His voice now echoed from her right ear to the left.

At that moment, Liesel's vision zoomed out and she see the scene unfold right in front of her.

"I want to, Rudy," she whispered to him. Her voice was full of emotion. "But, I can't."

Rudy's voice was now on her neck. "Just relax," he said in a tone trying to sedate her. His arms wrapped around her waist. His fingers slid up her shirt.

Liesel felt tears started to pile up. "Please, Rudy," she begged. "Please." The tears slowly fell down her cheek but he didn't notice. She let her arms push him away, but he resisted it. She started to kick and scream but her voice was muffled and her legs wouldn't move.

Rudy's face became stern and his eyes froze. He pushed down on her until his legs were on her either side of her legs and his arms were pinning her down.

Liesel could taste the salt in her tears as the flowed down her cheek.

Rudy's voice was now demanding. His teeth were clenched. "I said stop," he ordered.

He brought his lips down onto her neck and while her arms held her down. Then, she could taste his lips on her mouth and she almost believed that it was him again- the Rudy she loved.

But there was no tenderness in his lips.

Instead they felt like thorns slowly inserting inside Liesel's lips. She tasted liquid metal in her mouth as the blood oozed in.

And soon that was all inside your mouth.

"Rudy, don't!" Liesel screamed, but instead he pressed harder against her. The her lungs were screaming- pleading for air.

Liesel pushed her against his bare chest attempting an escape. Her legs throbbed but she kicked him in the stomach.

Instead of retaliating with pain, Rudy's lifted his head up and a quiet laugh came from his mouth.

It was soft at first but then it turned so loud, and so menacing that Liesel had to scream to cover up the noise.

When she looked back up at him- he was transforming.

The blue tint in his eyes were grew into a swallowing dark hole. His front two teeth sharpened; his skin was a sickening, feverish yellow.

Liesel's breath caught. She stopped squirming under him and halted resistance. Rudy's beautiful blonde hair started falling from his head onto Liesel's chest. His skin started to melt from the core of his cheeks. It slowly dripped onto Liesel's skin.

Hot, it was boiling, sizzling at the touch of her skin- she howled in absolute pain.

And as the pain numbed her entire body- almost to a point where it felt normal, Liesel shot up from the bed- panicking.

Sweat poured down her face. It was as if she had just stepped out of her bath.

She threw the blankets from her body. Immediately, a cold rush covered her bare legs.

It was soothing.

She knew what she had to do.

She walked across the room and slowly opened the shut door, hoping no one could hear her. Liesel slowly walked across the pathway and down the stairs. She new that opening the large front door would alert the Hermanns.

So she headed towards the library, one foot after the another, slowly putting each step down as if the world under her might shatter.

When she got in, she looked away from the empty shelf that was once filled the books that gave her content. Her eyes fixed on the window- which was now fixed.

Her fingers touched the latches on the new window. She pulled them away from each other- opening the window. Liesel pulled the top handle of the window and climbed out.

The wind tousled her hair and tangled pieces of it together. The breeze- oh the breeze was a fresh breath of air down her throat.

The sky was a pitch black- but the stars were scattered across the night sky in absolute color.

And Liesel ran.

Where was she running?

She didn't know.

Until she got there, that is.

The brown fence was covered covered with shrubs and outgrown plants. She could tell no one ever used it.

But she knew where it led.

It creaked when she opened the latch and the fence shot behind her.

She had never been in this part of the house. To the backyard, that was.

It wasn't technically a "yard" but it was a walkway of grass that surrounded the back and the sides of the house- next to the gates.

Mud and grass were all over her shoes. Liesel felt her way until the end of the walkway.

When she turned the corner of the house- she found his window.

She slowly approached it, peering through the glass.

And when she looked through, she saw him sound asleep in his bed beneath the covers.

His blonde hair covered his eyelids. His lips together, shut. The comforter rose and fell to the rhythm of his breathing.

Liesel was too ashamed to disturb such a beautiful sight, but her knuckles had already acted before her mind thought it through.

She knocked on the window.

He stirred.

She knocked harder again.

His head rose from the bed, his eyes were squinting towards the window.

Liesel waved.

He looked at her, obviously dazed.

He abruptly got out of bed and stumbled across the room to the window. His hands unlatched the lock and he pulled up the glass.

His voice was hoarse. "Liesel?" Rudy choked. "What are you doing here?"

She bit her lip. What was she doing here?

"Move back," Liesel said.

He frowned. "What?"

"I said move back," Liesel demanded.

The drowsy Rudy stepped back from the window.

Liesel put her hands on the window- sill and slowly climbed inside his bedroom like a monkey. She knocked down most of his trophies and pictures but set them back up.

She faced him.

Rudy, now wide awake exclaimed in a loud whisper, "Liesel, what are you doing here?"

Liesel swallowed. She could feel her heartbeat in her palms.

"I want to do it," she announced.

"What?"

"I'm really ready," she said.

And even in the cold of the night and the shock of the moment, Rudy's face turned bright red. "Oh no, Liesel," he said, his voice much softer and quieter now. "No, it was my mistake. I'm sorry-"

"No!" Liesel said. "I'm not scared. I really want to do this."

And before he could protest, her hands were already around his waist pulling his lips towards her.

Rudy pulled away, "Liesel-" he said sternly, but she stopped him.

Her hands were already underneath his shirt when he halted her hands with his own and said in a harsh tone, "Stop."

Liesel's lips quivered.

She couldn't look him in the eye.

"Goddammit, Rudy," she said. "What the hell is it that you want from me?" She could feel hot blood pumping though her fingers. She fought to keep her voice down.

She stepped closer to him, her face was a velvet red. "This afternoon, just this afternoon, you wanted something and now you change your mind." She pointed a finger at him." I am sick and tired of trying to please you."

But he just stared blankly at her.

"I don't want you to please me."

Liesel lifted her hands in protest. "Then, what is this?"

"What is what?"

"This?"

Rudy was truly dumbfounded. He shook his head.

He looked her straight in the eye and said, "Not once will you ever have to please me, okay?"

Liesel stood still.

"And you know why?" he said. He placed a soft hand on Liesel's cold cheek. The warmth of his hand sent a new circuit of blood through her. "Because you already got me. A long, long time ago."

Liesel slowly moved towards him and placed her chin on his shoulder.

She breathed the smell of his newly washed white shirt.

"Why do we keep fighting?" she asked, her voice in a muffle.

Rudy chuckled. "Because that's the only way we know how to."

Liesel frowned. "How to what?"

"Show our love."

She pulled back from his embrace- a hint of mischief was in her eyes.

"Are you tired?" she asked him.

Rudy shrugged it off. "After a drama scene like this? No."

Half a smile grew on Liesel's face.

Rudy's eyes widened. "Why? What do you have planned? Oh god," He placed the back of his hand on his forehead. "Now I feel tired."

Liesel sneered. "Oh, relax, Saukerl. We're just going to have a little fun."

"And what's that?"

Liesel turned towards the open window, the breeze blew the hair away from her eyes. "Just grab your coat and follow me."
