Guardian Of Souls

A girl and boy meet, one is a guardian, the other is the one she must
protect. Everything is fine, but then, Hades decides to finish off the
guardian himself. Both die, but Terra doesn't allow their souls to travel
through the gates. Both are reborn as the season of Winter.

Chapter 1: Adrian
"Hey, Adrian! You coming to the ally tonight?", that's what I remember being
asked by a bleached, blonde in a cheerleader outfit. I, the long, black
haired boy that turned to answer her, was wearing an unwashed black T-shirt
with baggy, dirty, old blue jeans. My answer was,
"Uh, yeah… I guess… I gotta go though. See ya Chessy!" I was out of it
there. Yeah, my life was pretty bad. My mom was a drunken druggie, and I
was... well, a druggie. I hung out with all the wrong people, and nobody in
my life cared at all, so I thought that it was fine to do what I was doing.
I walked down the hall, when I noticed a girl with ash-blonde hair and deep
blue eyes watching me. She was a quiet one all right, one that made good
decisions. We had the next class together, and I thought about actually
going, but then I got a craving for a joint. Was she following me? I didn't
dare turn around.
".. A… Adrian…" she said, so silently that I almost couldn't hear her. I
turned, she was gorgeous… but unpopular, so I did my best to be smug and
cool. It wouldn't look right if I, one of the more popular kids, was
talking with her, a nerd. When I looked into her eyes, I saw mine reflected
in them. They were reddened slightly, I looked like I had just been crying
or something.
"Yeah, what do ya want?" I asked her, a little too over-something I guess,
because she took a small step back. She looked intimidated, but did her
best to answer me. I thought that was very brave of her.
"Y- you should come to cl- class today... Miss Terra... she's worried about
you..." She told me, staring at the ground. For some strange reason, I
wanted to touch her... not in inappropriate places mind you... just lift
her chin to look in my eyes, and hug her... I didn't though, I couldn't. It
wasn't me, I'm not that type of person. Besides, she wasn't my friend or
anything, I didn't need to be nice to her or nothing. I started to laugh,
it was a cold laugh, but I stopped after a few seconds to tell her this,
"Oh, yeah, sure. That's a good one Mell! Nah, I don't think I'll go today.
I'm gunna hang out in the ally alone for awhile. All this work I've done
today is making me feel trapped. Catcha on the flip side!" It was a lie of
course, I hadn't done a single thing that day. It wasn't unusual, I rarely
did anything when it came to school. She looked hurt, sorrowed even. That's
my opinion at least. I flinched slightly, for I wasn't one to be a bully
and... yet... here I was... hurting a fellow beings feelings. It made me
feel worse about myself. She looked deeply into my eyes before flinching
and turning away, and I had a feeling she knew that I was hurting inside,
but she nodded as I turned and walked away. I heard her mutter something,
it sounded something like,
"Yes, catch you on the flip side Adrian. I'll be waiting." But I can't be
sure. So, yeah, I was walking away and was just heading past the classroom,
when Melanie cut in front of me and pushed my shoulder with hers. I stared
at her, she seemed upset, but she closed the door of the classroom and I
shrugged, agitated and on edge, and walked outside and headed to the
druggie hangout, the ally. I was going to get high, alone... which was good
because I had a lot of stuff to think about.
Am I a monster? I just hurt her feelings, or at least... I think I
did.... I can't be sure of anything anymore. It's all screwed up as if I...
I... What am I thinking? Why am I thinking this? I can't really like her.
It's against... No, no it's not. I sighed softly, thinking long and hard
about Melanie. She was all over my thoughts and I couldn't get her out. It
was unnerving, yet strangely comforting. Ironic... it was purely ironic. Do
I... Actually? I must keep these thoughts to myself... They would never
understand. They don't understand anything about anyone but themselves...
Oh lord... Why must things be this way?

Chapter 2: Melanie
I was watching him, I was always watching him. No matter where or when. I was
watching him. I knew something bad was going to happen to him, I didn't
know what, but something bad was going to happen. I heard the whole thing,
from the preppy slut calling to him, to myself telling him he should come
to class... it was strange. I usually knew if I was talking, but now it
didn't sound like me... that's usually the cue that something bad is going
to happen, soon... too soon for anyone's liking. I pushed past him, but I
didn't feel it, I was out of my body, yet I was in my body. As usual it was
a weird feeling. I entered the classroom and closed the door, that's when I
felt my normal self again. I threw my books upon a desk, making Miss.
Terra, the teacher and my foster mother, look up from her books.
"What was that for?" she asked me, brushing her brown hair out of her face.
I looked at her and shook my head.
"He is impossible! I tried to get him here, but, noooo, he's going to the
ally instead! I'm sick of it!" I replied, being myself... my actual self.
Yes, my actual self, you see? I am actually a guardian, the guardian of
souls. I was called upon by Anubis, who told Terra to care for me. Terra is
Miss Terra, the teacher. Everyone just loves her, no matter they're
personality, somehow she just manages to get along with them. Want more on
me? Okay, well, my assignment right now is to guard Adrian for something
because of something... I have no idea why... anyway along with the story.
"Calm down Melanie." Miss Terra stated calmly. I wasn't in the mood to calm
down. I paced agitatedly. "Go after him. You are his guardian after all. He
needs your protection, for the soul collector is coming for him soon." I
stopped pacing.
"WHAT? Hades is coming for him soon? Oh, this just makes my day." I shook
my head, then took five deep breathes and went back into the shy character
I was supposed to be. As calmly as I could, I walked out of the class room
and down the emptying halls. I was in character until I walked out the
door. As soon as the wind hit my face and raced through my hair, I had
redressed from modern day clothes, to medieval clothes. It was warmer than
these new fashioned clothes that I was forced to wear. Nobody was in the
streets, which was good, or they would all be staring at me. I made sure no
one was looking as I leapt onto the top of a building and hopped from roof
to roof until I got to the ally. I knelt on top of the roof and looked
below me, there he was.. Sitting, with a single joint in his hand. I wasn't
surprised by this. People like that always had a joint in there hand, even
if they weren't smoking it... Which he wasn't. I shook my head and ran my
hand over my face and behind my head. My shoulder length hair grew longer
and redder. My hair was now strawberry blonde and my eyes, a brilliant
green. I changed my outfit as well. I was now wearing a silver, white,
medieval dress. I jumped silently down to the back of the ally and then
walked forward and stood over him. He looked up and I knelt down.
"Why deh yeh create this fo yehrself?" I asked gently. All he could do was
stare, then he shook his head.
"Who.. Who are you?" He stumbled over his words. I tilted my head and
looked at him softly. He asked again. "Who are you?" This time I answered.
"I'm yeh guardian. M' name's Deeindre." I smiled softly. It felt fake, I
didn't like it, but this was to save his life, so I did what I had to do.
"I-I don't... I don't need a guardian..." He said, stuttering again. I
shook my head.
"Nay, young lad. Yeh do need a guardian, or yeh wouldn't b' doin' that." I
nodded
towards the joint and he looked at it.

Chapter 3: Adrian
I sat, by myself, staring at the ground, deep in thought. The joint in my hand
went unnoticed by me. I was far too depressed to think about it, I was busy
thinking about how people treated others. I felt bad for treating Melanie
so harshly. A tear rolled down my cheek, I didn't even notice.
"Why deh yeh create this fo yehrself?" She asked gently. All I could do was
stare, she was pretty, but not as pretty as Melanie. I shook my head.
She... looks... a... No, no, I can't think about her! Oh, Melanie, I'm so
sorry... No one deserves to be treated like how people treat you... How can
you stand it? As you can tell... my mind was elsewhere...
"Who.. Who are you?" I asked, stumbling over my words. I didn't want
company at that point, but I wanted to know who this stranger was. Hm...
Isn't it funny how people want to talk to you while you just want to be
left alone? It always seemed to happen to me and I always shrugged it off.
I found that... I had a lot of good friends, all who lost their lives in
car accidents, drug overdoses or natural causes. Somehow, everything seemed
connected, yet it wasn't. The woman just tilted her head and looked at
me. "Who are you?" This time, she answered.
"I'm yeh guardian. M' name's Deeindre." She smiled softly. I don't know
why, but I got the feeling that she was a fake. It looked like she felt
fake. I wondered why, sort of...
"I-I don't... I don't need a guardian..." I said, stumbling again. I just
wanted her to leave me alone. She shook her head.
"Nay, young lad. Yeh do need a guardian, or yeh wouldn't b' doin' that."
She said, nodding towards the joint. I looked at it then threw it on the
ground.
"I just want to be alone." I said, I felt near tears. I think she noticed
it, but she wasn't going to give up and walk away easily.
"Thar are people that ca'e 'bout ya. Jest like ya care about them. I kn'w
ye do. Nob'dy c'nnot love, even if the're heartless." Deeindre said. I
shook my head, the tears about to overflow.
"No, nobody does. My own mother doesn't, my friends don't. If they don't,
then nobody does!" I said, still trying to force back tears.
"I w'uldn't be he'e if I din't ca'e. Melanie w'uldn't have tried ta getcha
to class if she di'nt ca'e. Miss Terra w'uldn't 've sent m- Melanie fo' ya.
N'w d'nt say n'body ca'es. Lots d', laddy. Lots d'." She nodded softly and
let me think about it for a second before kissing my forehead and
standing. "Call me if ya need 'nthin'." She jumped up on the roof and
disappeared. I looked to the place she disappeared for awhile. Nobody had
ever been so nice to me, well, except for Melanie and Miss. Terra, but they
never really talked to me. Perhaps I was out casting myself too much from
them? No... I wasn't... No one could help me with what I went through. They
would never understand. I was alone for the rest of the day.
A week passed and I was back in the alley, when Melanie appeared. I didn't
hear anything, except for her voice. When I looked up she froze.
"What are you doing here?" I wiped some tears from my eyes. She nearly
rushed over, but stopped herself and walked, still timid, over to me.
"Miss... Miss Terra sent me... to... lo-look for you..." She said softly. I
looked at her hands. They were shaking like mad. Before she could do
anything I pulled her close and wrapped my arms around her. Her cheeks
turned crimson. "I... I... You... Hnnn..." She stuttered before giving up
and pressing into me. I held her closer and buried my head into her hair
and let myself go. I cried and she didn't complain. This was comforting.
Melanie
I sat on top of that roof and thought. God damnit! He is so stubborn! I
must be going around this the wrong way. But all his other guardians failed
us. Maybe my character can be used to some advantage? It took me days
before I figured out what to do.
Again I was atop the roof, watching him. I sighed and jumped down, planning
what to do as I changed back into Melanie. I composed myself and got back
into character, making sure I looked like I didn't belong there. I peeked
around the corner of the ally and stared at him for a minute before timidly
entering it.
"A-Adrian?" I asked softly, approaching him slowly. When he looked up I
froze. Tears were in his eyes and I didn't know what to do. But I should
have, I was his guardian after all.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, not coldly, just softly. I watched him
wipe some tears from his eyes and I wanted to rush over and throw my arms
around him. What? I... I... Something is seriously wrong with me here! Why
did I want to rush over to him? Why did I feel... These... Feelings?? Are
they feelings? So many questions to be left unanswered for now... I stopped
myself from running over and just timidly walked over.
"Miss... Miss Terra sent me... to... lo-look for you..." I replied. It was
strange, the stutter wasn't as hard to keep as usual. I shrugged it off for
now. Before I could do anything, he pulled me into a hug and held me close.
I felt myself blush crimson. What? I'm blushing? Why? I was really confused
now, but I didn't let it bother me. Perhaps it was just the character I was
portraying... Yes... That's all... "I... I... You.... Hnnn.." I said,
trying to say something, but not knowing what. I gave up and pressed into
him. He held me tighter and buried his face into my hair. I felt his tears
wet my hair and didn't complain. Was this why I was feeling the way I did?
To comfort him? It was a comforting thought. He cried for some time before
pulling away and looking at me.
"Thank-you..." He said, sounding choked up. "... I don't think... I
think... I'm going home..." He says, releasing me slowly and standing up.
Adrian held out his hand and I took it, standing up.
"Okay..." I managed without stuttering, which seemed to surprise him
slightly. "I'll... Go tell Miss. Terra...." He nodded softly, staring at
our hands, which were still together. He almost smiled, but I slid my hand
out from his and he dropped his arm.
"... Will you... Come with me? I don't know where we'd go... But... I don't
want to be alone..." I stared silently at him before nodding softly. He
smiled a bit more. "Thanks Melanie..." We walked out of the ally together
and started towards the park. "How did you know where the ally was? No one
but the druggies know which ally it is..."
"... I..." I paused, trying to think of something, but I knew some truth
had to come out. I twisted it a bit to fit my needs, for I did not want him
to know what I had done. He waited patiently for my answer. "... My
brother... was a drug addict.... I used to follow him here after school...
It was safer than home. He died from an... an overdose..."
"What about your parents? Oh... Right.... Miss. Terra is you're mother..."
He blushed lightly at his forgetfulness. I shook my head.
"No... She adopted me... My parents... My... My parents died from alcohol
poisoning..." It hurt... I had put those memories away... They hurt a
lot... Suddenly I felt queasy and had to stop.
"Melanie?" Adrian said questioningly. "Are you all right?" I could barely
hear him. He seemed so far away. The world was spinning. I felt as if I was
falling. My stomach turned and the world blurred.
Adrian
"Melanie? Are you all right?" I asked, as she stopped. She looked pale and
her eyes were dimmed. When she collapsed, I caught her, my arms tight
around her. "Melanie? Mel?" She had fainted. I picked her up and thought of
the quickest way to get her into a better environment. I had no choice. My
home was closest. I carried her inside, my mother wasn't in sight. Not that
it would matter much. I took her up to my room and laid her down on the bed
before picking up the phone and calling for the ambulance. I waited for
what seemed like forever before the ambulance attendants came. I showed
them to my room, where Mel was in a coma on my bed. Oh God, oh God, oh
God... Please let her be all right.... Every horrible thought was running
through my head. Everything that would be impossible to imagine.
"Her... again?" One of them said, helping the other place her on the
stretcher.
"Another overdose I betcha anything..." The other one replied, making sure
she was secure. I stared at them, confusion and horror crossing my face.
"An... overdose?" I asked as they nodded. "But... she... she doesn't..."
"Every once in awhile she takes too much of her painkillers and is rushed
to hospital. Other times she doesn't take it at all... and... is rushed to
the hospital..."
I was in shock as they wheeled her downstairs and out the door. I followed
behind silently and climbed into the ambulance with her. Please, please be
all right... I moved a strand of her ash-blonde hair from her face,
allowing my hand to brush against her pale cheeks. My mind started drifting
to something I really wanted to do, but never would. I pulled myself away
from her and just sat watching her. How much I wanted for her eyes to open
and for everything to be all right. All too soon the ride was over and we
entered the hospital. Miss Terra was there, very calm. She was wearing a
doctors coat and was holding a needle, a strap and a small glass bottle
that looked somewhat like heroine or something of the sort.
"Miss Terra... w-what are you doing here?" I asked. She glanced at me
silently then followed the paramedics into the room. After she had set down
the things she was carrying, Miss Terra wrapped the strap around Melanie's
arm. The scene reminded me of one of my heroine-addict friends. I watched
in horror as my teacher drew some of the drug from the bottle and inserted
into the girls arm. "Miss... Terra...?" Still she stayed silent, until I
followed her out of the room. "What's going on?" She turned and placed her
hands on my shoulders.
"Melanie is a heroine addict and is trying to free herself of it. She does
not have the same kind of withdrawals as most people. When they happen,
it's usually a sign of something to come. She needs the small dose of
heroine I just gave her to get herself back on track." I turned to look
into the room. The girl lying on the bed, Melanie, did not look like a
heroine addict. She didn't act like one either. Miss Terra turned my
attention back to her. "Everyone has different personalities, everyone has
different reactions and everyone looks different." Her hand reached up and
grazed my cheek softly. "Come to class tomorrow." Then she turned and left.
I was still too shocked to speak. Eventually I found myself back in
Melanie's hospital room. I sat beside her bed and rested my hand atop hers.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were one? I thought your brother was..." I
whispered softly, tears forming once more. We had been friends for a week,
kinda... When she told me about her brother, I thought she was telling the
truth. Now I wasn't so sure. I'm sorry... The voice was but a whisper. I
looked around, but the voice was inside my head. I didn't want to... Then
it was gone. "Didn't want to what?" It was silent, no answer came for me. I
began thinking that I was getting paranoid or schitzo. No one heard voices
otherwise.... Or so I thought at the time...

Chapter 4: Melanie
I sat on top of that roof and thought.

Chapter 6: Melanie and Anubis
I heard everything that Terra said to Adrian and I heard everything that Adrian
said to me. For only a minute, I was able to speak to him. Anubis cut the
line after a few seconds, keeping me from telling the truth yet again. I
swirled down a dark void until I reached the bottom, where a light
surrounded me and the Guardian of the Dead walked out, into the light.
"Zalikima... You must keep Adrian safer... Hades is going to start making
his life a living hell. What he's been through already is enough to want
him to commit suicide. If it gets worse, Adrian will be pushed the edge and
he will kill himself." Anubis said, his dark, milky voice made my outer
layer crawl. No matter how long I would have known him for, no matter what
form I was in, my outer layer or my skin would crawl or quiver depending on
how he said things. "You have to be more out going... Become more your true
self around him rather than the mask you're wearing..."
"Milord... I am becoming the mask, but only around him... I will try my
very best to become more my normal self around him. I swear..." I said
calmly, my tone was a bit sad because I enjoyed playing the role of
Melanie. It reminded me of what I had been like before I started hanging
out with the popular groups. It reminded me of how I was the silent quiet
girl until my best friend died in a car crash while another one committed
suicide. The only two friends I had, their death caused me to retreat into
solitude until the day I met Krystle. No more true friends after that
meeting. I became popular, I was on top... I was introduced to weed, which
slowly began an addiction to cocaine, then heroine. I tried acid a couple
times, all those trips were bad. For the rest of my life, until I died of
an overdose. Anubis took me aside and I started my training to be a
guardian. That's what us, younger spirits do. We keep people alive, or at
least try to make them see that they have friends. Sometimes it didn't
work, other times it did.
I was the best of the best when it came to saving young people from my
fate. In my two years I had saved three people. Adrian was my forth case.
He had lost a lot from the time the Mighty One had appointed him Centuria
as a guardian. Centuria became her mask and is now Chessy. She has
forgotten everything. It is the same thing that happened to Mazicaz, now
Max. The same thing happened to Sherylim, Zurli and Nekadimos, also known
as Sheryl, Zarlo and Nicholas. All of them, lost until they die again. I
just hope my fate isn't the same.
Anubis nodded softly. "It has happened to all of them... He has a way of
turning guardians into the ones they are pretending to be... Get some rest,
you'll need as much energy as you can gather to stay who you truly are." I
watched him fade and I felt the sickening swirling motion again. I was back
in my body, but too tired to do anything, so I slept.
I had no idea that Anubis and manifested into flesh and had walked into the
room where Adrian was almost asleep. I had no idea that he woke Adrian up
and ushered him out of the room or that he leaned down, ran his hands
through my hair, kissed my forehead and my lips before he left. I would
have no idea, until I awoke, that he led Adrian to another room and tried
him.
While I slept, I dreamt of my old life, the cursed life I had lived before
coming to this. My dream was basically my past, yet it was different
because Adrian was in it. During my sleep, I thought nothing of it, for
there was nothing to think, but it confused me when I woke up two days
later. My dream was a look at life with Adrian, I had originally taken the
path without, but the path with him was so much nicer. In the dream, we
both fought against our drug habits and helped each other through tough
times. We got married, had kids and we had fun together. The dream ended
with us dying of old age. It took two days to fulfil, which is when I
awoke. I was in a daze, tired, sleeping, yet fully awake.

Chapter 7: Adrian and Anubis
I watched her for hours. I didn't eat for I wasn't hungry nor did I sleep. I
was too worried about her, despite Miss Terra telling me that Mel would be
fine. I didn't believe her, well not really anyway. I wanted to be there
when she woke up, in however long that would be. No one knew how long it
would be, but I didn't care. Eventually, however, I started to drift off to
sleep. Before I could completely fall asleep, a man with long black hair
and golden skin entered. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants with
a white coat. He tapped me on the shoulder and told me to wait outside for
him. I felt off, very off... I did as he instructed and left the room. I
turned back to take a last look at Melanie and saw, to my horror, him kiss
her and touch her. Jealousy came like a tidal wave and crashed over me. I
shook, tears filling my eyes. She has a lover? I thought she didn't have
anyone... He approached me and led me to another room, where I remained for
two days.
"Hello Adrian." He said, his voice soft and caressing. A wave of heat
passed over me and he seemed to notice it because he smirked in amusement.
I closed my eyes and tried to focus, but I managed to pick up his scent and
it threw me off completely.
"Who the hell are you?" I muttered, backing against a wall, wanting to get
away from him. This wasn't how I was supposed to feel, was it? Oh god,
please no... I moaned in prayer to myself.
"I am Anubis, Guardian God of the Dead." He replied, his voice still soft.
He started walking towards me slowly, tilting his head one way slowly, than
the other, taking me in. I stared into his beautiful golden eyes, wanting
to run, yet not being able to find the courage to.
"Stay... stay away from me..." I whimpered as he came closer, slowly. My
breathe was becoming raspy. He smirked darkly, his golden eyes live with
hunger.
"I will not stay away until I have what I want." He crooned softly. My
knees buckled and I fell to the floor.
"What do you want with me?" I asked, shaking like crazy. He knelt in front
of me and looked into my eyes. I felt as if the man was staring into the
depths of my soul.
"I want to find out why you are so interesting to Zalikima. I want to know
why the guardians continue to become their masks around you." He murmured
softly as he brought his hand up. I winced as his hand caressed my face
gently and I whimpered, more in wanting than anything. The man smiled
softly and brushed his lips against my cheek softly. I tried to jerk away,
but couldn't find the will power to. His other hand ran itself through my
hair softly and I closed my eyes. My breathe was coming out in shallow
gasps and all I wanted to do was run away as his hand that was caressing my
cheek moved slowly downwards, his fingers trailing over my skin, causing me
to shudder. He picked me up, I felt the fire burn inside of me, stronger
now than before. He lay me on the bed that was there and straddled me. I
tried to push him off, but his hands were so gently as he slid my shirt
off, that I moaned. The need arose in me, so strong, that I couldn't help
but sit up and slide off his jacket. Then I slid my hands under his shirt
and slid it off slowly. I stared at him for a while before he wrapped his
arms around me and kissed me ferociously, opening my mouth with his tongue.
I acted instinctivley and kissed back with the same intensity. I moaned as
I felt his hips push into mine and I pushed back as he lay me back and
lovingly took the rest of my clothes off. He kissed down my chest, his
hands gently moving over my naked body. I moaned and ran my hands through
his long hair and grasped at it tightly, moaning in pleasure as he licked
me and stroked me. He continued this until I came three times, then he
pulled himself up again and pressed me against him, my manhood against his
stomach

Chapter 8: Melanie
I opened my eyes, I was so tired. My body and mind ached for no reason of which
I knew. I sat silently for a while before being able to move myself into a
sitting position. With a glance around the room, I noticed that it was
empty and sighed. I had been hoping that Adrian would still be there to see
me awake, but with no luck. I let myself gather strength before taking the
needles out of my arms and moving so I was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Half an hour passed before I could get off the bed and another half hour
passed before I could undress myself, then attempt to redress myself. Three
hours had passed before I walked out the hospital room door, in those three
hours, no one had disturbed me. I heard a strange noise come from the room
next to that was next to mine, curious, I peeked through the door. My eyes
widened in horror as I watched Anubis cause Adrian to moan. My heart broke
as I watched, the door fully open. Neither noticed me standing there,
watching, tears on the verge of falling. Finally I looked away and closed
my eyes, going back to when I met Adrian and what we had done together
since. For some reason, I knew that Anubis was just having fun. Anger
filled up inside and I growled, causing Anubis to jerk his head up. My dark
blue eyes turned a purplish colour as I turned my gaze back to them. Adrian
whimpered slightly, then looked towards the door and blushed crimson,
curling up slightly out of embarrasment. I took a few steps towards Anubis
and he took a step foreward.
"My child..." He murmered softly, holding out his hand as if offering me
something. I growled again and started to circle him slowly.
"I hate you, you filthy wretched whore...." I spat with a hiss. Adrian
looked between the two of us as I circled.
"What are you talking about child?" Anubis asked as seductively as
possible. Adrian shuddered, but I kept circling. I was so angry that his
petty tricks wouldn't work on me this time.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about..." My voice was started to crack
with sobs and the tears started to blur my vision. Anubis approached me and
went to rest his hand on my shoulder, but I sunk my teeth into his neck,
growling and tugging, wanting to rip his throat out. Anubis cryed out, then
grabbed me by the throat and strangled me until I let go. Adrian jumped up
and grabbed me around the waist. I growled, snarled and lunged at Anubis as
Adrian held me back.
"No Melanie, you're delerious!" Adrian said, trying to calm me down, it
only feuled my anger and caused me to turn around and kick him hard. He
fell back with a thud, landing on the floor. We had both forgotten that he
was naked.
"Delerious? Is that what... is that what you call it when you see your
bestfriend having sex with the only man you have ever known as a father?
Huh Adrian?" I shouted at him, causing him to flinch. Anubis didn't look a
bit shameful as he watched me break into tears. I turned back to him,
tackled him and started beating on him until the tears were too much that I
couldn't do anything but cry. Adrian stared, dumbfounded and Anubis pushed
me off, onto the floor. He stood.
"Goodnight you two..." Anubis said softly before leaving the room. Adrian
watched me cry for a while before he pulled on his pants and crawled over
to me. He slipt his arms around me and cradled me. I burried my head into
his chest, but the smell of Anubis was strong and uncomforting, so I turned
my head away. He touched my cheek and tilted his head.
"Melanie? What's wrong?" He asked. I could feel him start to tear up and I
tried to pull myself together, but I couldn't. Finally he just started
murmering to me, which me feel worse.

Chapter 9:Adrian
As I watched Melanie cry herself to sleep, I wondered why she had reacted like
that. I didn't know why it was so bad, except for the fact that it was
disturbing being guy-guy. I picked her up and lay her sleeping body on the
bed and ran my hand down her cheek softly. The thought of how beautiful she
was, occurred to me and I smiled slightly as I climbed up beside her. A
sharp pain seared through my mind and I screamed.
HOW COULD YOU! I LOVE YOU! The voice that seared through my head yelled, it
was filled with hurt, pain and hatred. I LOVE YOU ADRIAN! I heard crying
and suddenly it dawned on me that it was me, I felt guilty. Suddenly a wave
of darkness took over me. I woke up, or so I thought, and looked around.
"What the..." I murmered softly before the one who played Melanie,
Zalikima, swept herself into my veiw. I stared in amazement of her beauty
and was in awe of how much she looked like Melanie. "Who..." I started to
say before she rushed up and slapped me.
"I ha... I ha..." Tear stains were on her cheeks. I jolted back in surprise
then tilted my head. "I hate you..." She said, her voice filled with love,
longing and anger, "... how could you do this to me?" Zalikima sobbed,
slapping me again.
"What... What did I do to you?" I asked, completely startled and off guard.
A scene appeared in front of me. I was looking through her eyes, feeling
how she felt when she saw us. I was sickened and surprised.
"You broke my soul... You broke me..." She murmered. I looked at her and
she seemed more translucent than before and from what I could still see,
there were cracks beginning to dilute her beautiful face. I touched her
face softly and shook my head. Raising her hand, she was ready to slap me
again, but I took her blurred hand gently in mine. Shocked, Zalikima stared
at me.
"I couldn't help it... His scent was as sweet as yours... It was almost
exact... I couldn't help it..." Suddenly, the urge to kiss her arose and I
couldn't help myself, so I kissed her lips softly. She let out a gasp of
surprise and pulled away, confused. I was a little confused myself, but I
knew, deep down inside, that she was the most important person in the world
to me and that I didn't want to lose her. "I... I... You're the most
important person to me... I don't want to lose you..." I said, choked up. I
choked her up too, because she covered her mouth with her hand and gasped.
She started to appear, slowly, once more.
"Oh Adrian..." She murmered lovingly. Once more I was swept into darkness.
When I awoke, Melanie was straddling me. She grinned when I opened my eyes.
I smiled back at her softly and ran a hand down her face. Blushing, Mel
cupped her hands around my face and kissed me softly. I could feel her
tears fall gently onto my cheeks. "I'm sorry..." She said between kisses. I
put my finger tips to her lips.
"Shh... It's all done with love... It's all done with... Do you forgive
me?" She nodded, and I smiled, "Thank-you for your forgiveness... You have
nothing to be sorry about, love..." We were both completely caught of guard
for that one, she stared at me for a minute before kissing my chest
lightly, then coming back up to my lips. I wrapped my arms around her
tightly. We drank each others kisses and touch for the longest period of
time before breaking apart again.
"I don't want to do anything here... I want to go home..." Melanie said. I
nodded softly.
"Alright... We'll go to your home..." I smiled, slid on my shirt and helped
her off the bed. We walked down the empty halls silently and continued
walking until we got to a large house. We walked up to the door and snuck
inside.

Chapter 10: Melanie
We snuck into my house quietly. I knew that Terra was there, but I didn't care.
My mind was in shock as to what just happened and all I wanted to do now,
was Adrian. We tiptoed up to my room and once we got there and closed the
door, the kisses and touches came back into use.
Adrian pushed me onto the bed, running his hands under my shirt. I shivered
and moaned quietly. My heart was pounding and my mind was numb. All sexual
instincts came into use and I felt as if all my senses became a thousand
times stronger. He removed my shirt and he let his kisses travel across
every part of me that was showing. My arms wrapped themselves around him
and my hands let themselves remove his shirt.
I felt strange, this wasn't supposed to be happening to a guardian, but
here I was, wanting, needing and kissing the one I was supposed to protect.
It made me wish that I had not died of the over-dose those few years ago,
it made me want to actually be living. But i was living, wasn't I? I had a
body and a soul... no, it wasn't my body, I was not living.
As if sensing that my mind was actually wandering, Adrian licked up my neck
and chest, pushing himself into me. I was brought back to reality and
smiled at the thought of love and Adrian. Then I figured that it was too
soon for any of this sort of touch, no matter how much the two of us
enjoyed it. He stared into my eyes and touched my cheek.
"Your mind was wandering..." I knew he could feel the slight change in the
air, which is why he stopped. I also knew that he really wanted me at that
point in time.
"I... can't really explain it..." I replied softly as he pulled me close. I
rested my head on his shoulder, my arms still around him. Closing my eyes,
I realized that this kind of touch may never happen again and I wanted it
to happen again.
"Try me..." He stated calmly, shifting quite a bit so he could lay down. I
moved slightly so he could, then I curled up against him.
"This body isn't mine... I want my body..." My voice was starting to
crackand my eyes started to water. I didn't know how much that fact was
true until this point in time. "I want to go back... so I don't die..." He
sat up and slid himself to the top of the bed. I looked at him, tears
starting to fall down my face because I was afraid that he was going to
abandon me. However that was not what he was doing, because he moved some
stuff around, then picked me up to move me with him. Once seated again, he
cradled me in his arms and I clung to him.
"I wish I could've known you before... so that none of this would have
happened..." He murmered softly, "but it is too late for that now... so get
some sleep, you need it after what you've been through..."
"Bu-but..." I started to say, only to be stopped by him.
"I can wait..." His smile reassured me, but I wasn't completely convinced
that he could wait to please himself. "Sleep my dove..." he crooned
softly, "Sleep and I will wait." Finally, sleep did take me once again and
I slept fitfully, knowing that when I awoke, he would be right there with
me.
While I slept, Adrian moved once again to be more comfortable. I found this
out when I awoke a few hours later. I smiled softly, looking at him. He had
fallen asleep and I didn't want to wake him, nor did I want to move, so I
kissed his lips softly. Saying a silent prayer, I snuggled closer to him
and waited for him to wake up. As I was waiting, Terra peeked into the
room.
"I thought I felt you two come in..." She whispered, smirking. I rolled my
eyes slightly. "Oh come now. You two were always soul mates." I smiled and
relished at the thought for a moment, before she gave me the bad news. "...
You will both die... And be reborn, I'm not letting you through those
gates..." I cringed, and stared at the beautiful sleeping boy next to me.
"I'm not letting him go..."
