This'll be slow to begin with and I'll need help in finding a title but I hope you enjoy...




Vague Emotion




Prologue:



She hunched her shoulder and let out a small sigh. Her feelings had been hurt time and time again this week and she was losing it for her sure. She had failed her latest science test, been sent to the office for chewing gum, and now she had found out her boyfriend had taken another girl to prom. How could anything get worse?

She reclined slightly on the couch; punk rock was playing from two different stereos, both turned up as loud as they could be. For some reason noise had always soothed her. She could hear the faint ringing of the phone; it had been going on and on with it's annoying little tone for the last two hours...signaling to her that he was trying to call her again.

She didn't even bother to pick the phone up. What would be the point? He would only grovel, and whine; tell her how much he loved her, missed her...wished she had been there. He would deny that he had fooled around with the girl, he would call the three witnesses, that had seen him and his prom date kiss, liars. The conversation would end in an argument and one of them would hang up on the other...then the tears would start again.

She knew this was how it would end up. They argued so much. She wished they didn't, because deep down she really did love him, but lately she saw no real reason to be with him. He had once made her so happy. She thought back to their first real date. It had been after hours on the beach. She had just laid peacefully in his arms, staring up at the night sky and all her troubles had melted away.

How she longed with all her heart that those times would come back. She wanted so badly to pick up the phone and be comforted by those three words he would utter, 'I love you...'. Even if it was a lie, even if he was only saying that because he needed to be in a relationship and in some sick way he needed her...she wanted to hear him say those words more than anything...

The last song on the track ended leaving her all alone with the loud ringing of the telephone. She tried to block it out. Another memory came back to her. Valentine's day, it had been four days before they had begun going out...four days... She had been his Valentine, they had stayed up all night on the phone together, laughing and talking about nothing and yet everything all at once.

Over those next few days he had hinted heavily at how much he liked her; she had hinted back. Suddenly she let out a soft giggle, it had been the first laugh she had given in a long time. Another memory, the day he asked her out, February 18, she remembered his telling her that he had asked her two bestfriend's permission first. It had been so cute...so kind...

He had by far been her best boyfriend, and she loved him...she truly loved him. Her bestfriend had told her to give her boyfriend a break to talk to him and see what he had to say... Maybe he was right.

She grabbed the phone from the hook quickly.

"H-Hello?" Her voice was a soft quiver, she could hear the tears in her voice, but she tried to remain composed.

"I...didn't think you would pick up," His very voice made her heart leap slightly, and then drop to her stomach.

"I don't know why I did," she replied softly, yet dangerously.

"Don't listen to them...you have to understand...I would never hurt you..." His voice rang loud and clear, and for some reason the very words that were meant to help her...hurt her worse...




Author's Note: Okay, that was the prologue, if you guys like this I'll write Chapter One. It will take place in the future (about two months later). We will find out what happen to the two and how they are doing (as well as find out their names). Also, this is not all a sappy love story it's an adventure that will take place and challenge the heroine's psyche as well as her body..

Chapter Seven:


He finally pulled away from Elise, his eyes still gazing into hers, but fully acknowledging that another person was present. He broke the gaze with Elise, and turned to his sister Claire, who although was blushing a slight red color, smiled with complete joy, and clapped her hands.

"So...the lovers have finally come to realize they're lost without eachother?" she questioned.

He merely nodded in returned, but his eyes told Claire what he was thinking. He knew she could read him like a book. They weren't just siblings, they were friends, and had always shared a special bond. He knew what she was thinking, and she knew what he was thinking. Do we tell her?

"Um...Elise," Claire's voice was timid for once, "Lucien and I have something to tell you."

His eyes darted about the room nervously as he felt Elise's hand tighten around his. Elise knew something was wrong, that was obvious. How was he to tell her what it was though? How serious it was? He looked at her, into her deep blue eyes, once again, and he could see the tears building up. He was scaring her.

"E-Elise..." He began, "Do you remember...what happened in the alley...thay day?"

"Y-yes..." her voice cracked as she spoke, and Claire walked to her and wrapped her in a tight hug.

"Do you remember the man I...killed...?" as he spoke he glanced down at his hands, and for a brief instant he saw the blood again, he relived the moment when he became a murdering, and it made him cringe.

Elise merely nodded this time. She knew what was going to be said next, she clinged to Claire, and buried her face in the nook of Claire's neck, crying insanely.

"He was part of a local gang...a...a very important gang. Liberi...is the name of the group...and the head of the gang...is a man named Vega..." his voice stuttered at the name. Elise and himself had always been very open between eachother before their fight, but he had always neglected to tell her one thing, and now was not the time to mention it, "He...he will seek his revenge on the both of us, Elise...and no matter where we run to...he will find us...and he will kill us...the both of us, because to him, his only family...are the members of his gang...he will destroy us...unless we fight back..."

He stood up, giving Claire a meaningful look, before walking out, his hands shoved in his pockets, head turned down. He couldn't bare to look at Elise now...not after this...hearing her cries was more than enough. He shut the door quietly behind him, and slammed his fist into the wall. Then, breaking down completely, he placed his face in his hands...and cried.

He heard the door open gently, and quiet footsteps tap against the wooden floor.

"Father will not have mercy on you...you know that...right...?" Claire's words would forever echo in his mind.

w00t w00t, twists and turns. Anyways, I wrote this very quickly (five to ten minutes) during some spare time at school. I'm terribly sorry if it sucks...but...it was either this or no chapter for awhile.
