Alec POV

The dance had come. Bree and Veradis danced laughed. I was happy for her along with Xavair. I saw Egeria sitting alone and I gathered my courage to go over to her. I stood up, braced myself, and walked over. "Hey." i smiled.
"Hi." she smiled back.
"Would you like to dance?" I asked and she smiled and nodded. I took her hand and Bree and Xavair smiled at me and I lead her in a slow dance. She was beautiful and wonderful and I think I just found my perfect girl.

Ellen's pov

I smiled as we walked into the gym.
"Wow this is beautiful." I said. Xaviar looked at me and smiled. I looked down fast.
"It's alright. I wouldn't say beautiful, though." He answered. I smiled.
"Oh. Where are my manners? Ellen, would you like to dance?" he asked. I smiled wider and looked down blushing. He took that as a yes and led me out onto the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around my waist. We started dancing to a slow dance.

Egeria POV:

So I decided to go to the dance alone. Pretty much everybody was already coupled up, so I was sitting by the fountain, watching the fish swim in circles after the little flashy lights that they put in the water.
"Hey," Alec said, startling me a little, "Would you like to dance with me?" I looked up and smiled, nodding. He then took my hand and led me out to the dance floor. We danced for a while, and he was wonderful. He came out of his shell, but not too much.
He's wonderful, and handsome, and he's all I ever wanted.
But did I tell him that?
No.
Even after he told me that he liked me a lot, I just smiled and said "I like you a lot, too."
Why can't I ever just say what's on my mind?
Anyway, we were still dancing when my phone rang in the ankle holster I had brought it in. I blushed and told him that I had to take the call. It was my friend Stephenie, and she was in tears. She had just been dumped by her boyfriend of two years after she had caught him making out with some other girl. As I was finishing talking her through her tears and pain, I sat down on a lonely park bench in the middle of a bike path.
That's when I saw him. He wasn't tall, but he wasn't short, and he wasn't big, but he wasn't skinny.
He was perfectly nondescript.
Just nondescript enough to be a kidnapper.
As I was standing back up to walk quickly back toward the dance, he broke into a run and held me by the arms, dragging me backward.
"HELP! ALEC! ELLEN! VERADIS! BREE! XAVIAR!" I got out before he slapped his hand over my mouth.
Now all I could do was struggle for my life and hope that someone heard me.

Ellen's pov


I heard Egeria scream and I ran out to find her. I saw a guy trying to kidnap her.
"Hey, What are you doing? Leave her alone!!! " I yelled. He dropped her on her head and ran off. I rushed over to her.
"Egeria?" I said.She didn't respond. I ran and got a nurse and helped take her to the hospital. When I walked out. he was waiting.
"Who are you?" I demanded. He had that look in his eyes. I tried to run but he tackled me and I blacked out.
"Help" was the last thing I said before losing concious completely.

Bree POV!

I heard Egeria scream as she cam running back in I demanded, "Where's Ellen?!" she looked behind her.
"She was just behind me!" she explained.
"Xavair! Alec!" I screamed and waved for them to follow me.
~~Xavair POV~~
I herad Bree yell my name and when I looked she was waving for me and Alec to follow her. I ran after her with Alec on my heels and when we finally caught up Bree was charging at someone her hands on fire and Ellen was laying at the man's feet dead for all I knew. He turned around and hit Bree and she went flying the other way hitting the side of the school and falling to the ground unconsceince. Veradis and Alec went to help her as I charged at the man all my furry aimed at him. No one messed with my girls.
I growled and tackled him to the ground and made several hits to his face. He pulled a knife from his jacket and got me in the side. I yelled out in pain but i made a finnal hit to him before he was knocked out. Alec came to help me as a girl from the school helped Ellen stand, and Veradis still couldnt wake Bree. It was like when she was nearly killed all over again. Her body unmoving. Ellen held my face in her hands to get my attention. "She'll be okay." she promised and I held her closer.

Egeria POV

I felt myself being picked up off of the sidewalk and placed onto a stretcher. As I was being transported to the hospital, just as we pulled away, I heard Ellen scream.
I was aware of everything that was happening, but I couldn't move, and I couldn't wake up, and I couldn't talk to anyone. I was just there, aware of everything that was going on, but not able to participate.

Ellen's pov.


"She's going to be ok." I told myself. I knew Bree was, but what about Xaviar? I could tell he was hurting. It had to be de ja vu for him. Seeing Bree like that had to be killing him.
"Xaviar, you're bleeding." I said. He looked down at his side and smiled.
"I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about..."
"Bree, I know. " I finished for him. He just shook his head.
"I almost lost the most important girl in my life and you still think I like Bree more?" I looked at him, shocked. I didn't know what to say. I was speechless. What? I thought to myself. He really did like me.

Bree POV!

I could still hear them. I could feel I was in....Veradis's arms? I think so. I just couldn't open my eyes. Someone touched my face and moved my hair from my face and then Ellen spoke, "She'll be okay, Xavair. I promise." She said. So it was Xavair who touched my face. Veradis's arms tightend around me and pulled me closer. My eye lids were starting to lighten and I opened my eyes to see Veradis. He smiled down at me and he looked like he had been crying. He bent down over me and pressed his lips to mine.

Ellen's pov

It was killing me to see Xaviar like that. He was hurting inside as well as outside. He still cared about bree. I knew that. But I had almost died and he saved my life. But then again, I was his love's best friend. He couldn't possibly like me as much. He turned to look at me.
"Ellen, are you ok?" He asked.
"I'm fine,"I said. Which was half true. I was find on the outside. But on the inside , I was a nervous wreck.

Alec POV!


I looked over at Veradis and he had Bree in his arms and he was kissing her. I closed my eyes and looked away and swalowed my tears. She was happy, thats all I cared about. I looked at Xavair and Ellen and he was holding her close. He had found his soulmate, but mine's was in someone else's arms.
I sighed and saw Egeria looking at me and she smiled at me and I pulled her close. She was mine. I had Egeria and I was happy. I saw from the corner of my eye Xavair kiss Ellen. I kissed Egeria's forehead and when she looked up at me in surprise I kissed her lips.

Ellen's pov.


I looked up at Xaviar. He smiled. I smiled back a soft shy smile.
"Still believe I like Bree more?" he asked me. I looked at him, the answer in my eyes. He sighed.
'Well you have known her longer than me." I said. He smiled. I looked up at him and smiled back. He took ahold of my chin and lifted my lips to his. He kissed me softly. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was like no other. I pulled away and tried to catch my breath. He smiled at me.
"Believe me now?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Good." he said.

BREE POV!!!


I pulled back from Veradis and I bit my bottom lip and smiled. He smiled at me. "Come with me." he said helping me up. Xavair came running up and hugged me close.
"I thought I lost you again." he said.
"You cant get rid of me that easily." I smiled and he released me to get replaced by Ellen.
When she let go I looked over at Alec and he had Egeria in his arms kissing her. I looked away, but somewhere in the pit of my stomach I was hurt.
"I'm going to take her." Veradis said taking my hand and pulling me across the parking lot and into his car.
I got into the passanger seat and looked out the window. Full moon and star full night. It was so beautiful. He took my right hand with his left and held it as he drove with his other hand. I smiled at him. After about 10 min he pulled into a deserted parking lot for a beach. I looked at him then back at the beach.
I got out the car and he came around and pulled me down along the beach. "Come on." he smiled pulling me closer. I laughed. We walked down the beach and suddenly he pulled us both down into the sand. I laughed and he kissed me softly. I stood up and Veradis jumped up easily and when I looked around at him his face was inches from mine.
My breath caught. He slowly brought his hand up and cradled my face in his palm and pressed his lips against mine. My hands automatically came up and touched the sides of his face and the rested on his neck. His one hand left my face and his arms wraped around my waist and lifted me as I wraped my legs around his waist.
It was perfect at this point, but I wrong. So wrong.
