"Yes...Why?" I barely got out. I was shaking from fear. What did Lucian do? How was I involved with this? If there was one thing I hated it was confusion. It always irritated me when I had no idea what was going on. Anger raged up a little, but I had to control myself. I started shaking more, but I had to calm down. I couldn't die now. I know I tried to kill myself yesterday, but I have something to live for now. If I died now....It would only hurt him more then it would've yesterday.

"Hmm..." She smiled brightly and pressed the knife just a little bit harder, not even hard enough to draw blood. "As cliche as it sounds, I suppose I need you to take a message to him for me." "What message, Lacey?" Lucian's voice, soft, dark, and silky, came from directly behind her. She whirled automatically, still maintaining her vice grip on Crystal, and laughed lightly as he came into view. He had his arms crossed, and seemed as always to be completely casual, but the expression in his icy blue, narrowed eyes gave away his complete, intense fury. His eyes flickered between the redheaded vampire and Crystal. "Let her go," he said softly. "And if I do, what will you do for me? Not kill me?" "Oh, I'm definitely going to kill you. But I may consider not killing you slowly and painfully." He raised an eyebrow at her and stepped forward, lips pulling back from his teeth, but Lacey suddenly pressed the knife harder into the side of Crystal's neck, eliciting a drop of blood. "I wouldn't, Lucian," she chimed lightly. He stopped dead, and his growl reverberated through his entire chest. She grinned. "Smart choice. I mean, you know vampires and blood..." She collected the bead of blood on one manicured finger and brought it up to her lips, grinning a wild and insane smile the whole time. "So you know about this guy, right sweetie?" she purred in Crystal's ear, still smiling way too brightly.

I bit my lip trying to keep myself from fighting with her. I knew that if I did I would lose. I nodded slowly and softly. Tears rushed down my cheeks as it now hurt to control the monster raging inside. I always felt like a monster. It's the way I thought of things when I learned about who I was. I had thought of it as a monster had been developing inside and it now had control. I still had enough control over it, but I would develop more over time. With my short temper it is easy to lose control. Right now it's at a high point. I have to keep myself under control. My heart beat was racing and my blood was pumping. I was shaking so much. "What's going on Lucian?" I growled through my bared teeth.

"Long, long story." He stepped forward, his upper lip curling up into a menacing growl. "At the moment, it isn't important. What is important is that Lacey Collins here is going to back off and let you go within the next five seconds, or she's going to find her pretty little bloodsucker head ripped off and her body in flames before she even realizes what's happened." His voice was still lightly casual, but with every word the fury in his expression intensified, until his blue eyes were blazing with pure fury. Lacey giggled. "My, my, some intensity there, Lucian. Then again, you were always intense." She pressed the knife harder into the side of Crystal's neck, starting a steady trickle of blood. Lucian's eyes narrowed even more. "Lacey..." he said warningly, his voice a deep-throated, rumbling growl.

I bit my lip, trying to keep from screaming, so it came out as a hiss. I felt the rage inside build up far beyond my control, and then I felt the fire burning through my veigns as I switched from human to wolf. I tried stopping myself but I just couldn't. I eventually was a magnificent ghost like wolf with piercing green eyes that would cut through you like glass. The glow of my fur was no different than my human eyes. I was fierce and beautiful in my wolf form. I moved swiftly and easily and could run extremely fast. I was like a swift ghost.

Lucian chuckled. "See, this is why it's convenient that the girl I l - care about is a werewolf. Able to defend herself, and all." Was I seriously about to say love? What the hell is wrong with me? He ripped the necklace off his neck and shifted neatly and easily into a large, gleaming silver wolf with the same crystal blue eyes as his human form, swishing his tail and managing to still look like his normal self in the smirking expression. "On three, Princess?" he inquired casually.

I looked at him and smirked playfully. I nodded and said, "One...Two..." I turned my head, and I thought through what I had to do as I studied Lacey. It was my first chance at getting to look at her. She had long red hair, ghostly pale skin, and cold blue eyes. Everything suddenly came together and I smiled. "Three." I said as I flashed over to her side. I changed quickly to my human form. I wrapped my hand around her arm and slammed her body against a brick wall in one fluid movement. "I fight better like this." I said looking back at Lucian.

He shifted back effortlessly, grinning way too brightly. "I can see that." Then he stepped towards the vampire girl, and the smile turned from bright to dark and dangerous. "Lacey, I have no idea what the hell you're doing here, since I killed you and all. I do know that if you come near Crystal here again, you will die. And I'll make sure you suffer before you do." She inclined her head and smiled, showing all her teeth - vampire fangs included. "Wow, Lucian. You really do care about her." He rolled his eyes. "Evidently." "Good. Then this will go even better than I planned." She flicked out the knife again and lunged unexpectedly for Crystal, drawing back her hand as she did. Lucian snarled and moved forward just as fast; he whipped in front of her and grabbed the unwielded arm. His lips curled up in a threatening and lupine expression. "Back. Off," he growled. Lacey paused for a moment, surprised, then her face brightened again as she drew back her other arm and drove the knife into his chest. Lucian let out a quiet oof as the air rushed out of him, and stumbled back, putting one hand to his chest. It came up soaked red. "Dannazione all'inferno," he swore under his breath, and collapsed to the ground. Lacey knelt beside him, still smiling brightly. "I'll be going now, Lucian, but I'll be back around. And if you decide to keep that girl around, it will go badly for her as well." And then, as swiftly as most any vampire, she vanished into the dark, with Lucian staring after her in helpless fury.

I ran over to him. Tears fell from my eyes as I tried to ignore the thought's that kept rushing through my head. There were so many things I could say, but they would only make matters worse. "This is all my fault...I caused this....You shouldn't be hurt..." all of these things I couldn't say. I just cried. I stayed there silent. Then a thought crossed my mind. "Y-y-you l-love me?" I asked not looking in his eyes.

"What would make you think that?" Lucian asked, his tone no different from his usual conversational one. "I definitely care about you - which is odd - but love? I doubt it." He grimaced and managed to sit up, holding two fingers to the wound in his chest. "Ouch," he muttered faintly, raising one eyebrow at the blood coating his fingers. "I really do hate bloodsuckers."

"Well like earlier you said, 'See, this is why it's convenient that the girl I l - care about is a werewolf.' You were either going to say 'like' or 'love', and I can read you well enough to know you were about to say love....No guy's ever seemed to feel that way about me...It's different..." I said still not looking into his eyes.

Lucian muttered something inaudible in Italian under his breath, then narrowed his eyes and added a little louder. "Moment of temporary insanity. Trust me, Princess. You don't know me. You don't know what I've done. No one does, really." A hint of a dry smile touched his lips, and vanished quickly. "The only one close enough to know that sort of thing is my little brother, and well, that relationship isn't the best."

"Sure...Keep telling yourself that." I said, rolling my eyes. I eyed his wound and started searching through my purse. I pulled out a small first aid kit. I pulled out a small packet containing some alcohol wipes. I unbuttoned his shirt. I cleaned off the blood and cleaned his wound. As I did this I looked into his eyes and said, "Sorry if it stings..." I giggled a little. I pulled out a gauze and put some cream on it. I placed it on his chest and taped it down. "Better?" I asked. "Don't ask why I carry around a first aid kit..." I said and cleaned off his hand with a regular wipe. I looked into his eyes again with the usual warmth glowing in my eyes.

"Everyone smart carries either a first-aid kit or weapon in this place," Lucian pointed out dryly. He sat up gingerly, raising one eyebrow. "Well, I'm sure I'll live. I've survived much worse," he said lightly. "Thanks, Princess."

"It's no problem..." I said and then I remembered something. "Okay...Now that we've gotten all of that out of the way.....Could you please explain to me what the hell all of that was?!?!" I asked demanding an answer now. There was no way he was going to get out of telling me the reason why both of us could've been killed tonight. I had to know now. I couldn't stand the confusion.
