A/N I do not own any of the characters in this story.

Prologue: The dream

She crept carefully down the ice path that stretched before her. Teeth chattering from the cold and skin numb, Jenny made her way down the vast stretch to a place she thought she would never see again. Its tall turrets and small porch stood out vividly to her as recognition assaulted her. She slowly reached for the door knob when it disintegrated into dust. She looked up, eyes widening, as the entire house disappeared.
Jenny gasped as she whirled around in a desperate attempt to flea but she stopped dead in her tracks as a tall man approached her.
"I wanted you," it said. The face hidden behind a mirror like mask which shinned black and white but Jenny knew what it was even before it spoke.
A shadow man
"No" She said quietly as she back away. The man smiled an eerie white smile.
"I can take you," it said. "We can take you." He reached for her shoulder his fingers never quite touching. Jenny jerked away as she turned and started towards the darkness where the house once was when she heard a cry from behind her.
A large piece of wood jutted up from the ice. Jenny's eyes helplessly followed the liquid silver writing as she recognized the symbols that stood out so vividly.

A more naïve person would have been confused by these symbols and assumed they were just scribbles. But Jenny was not like them, she had seen this staff once before in her life and its form had haunted her memories and her past for nearly five years now.
The stave of life

Tied to the staff, was a boy. He was nude from the waist up and his chest was marked with a horrendous scar as though someone had stabbed him through the heart. Jenny recognized his silvery hair and that porcelain skin. Those lips that usual would give a smile that could chill you to the marrow or make you melt into his arms.
"Julian," She whispered as she took an involuntary step towards him.

"I can take you," The tall man said Jenny looked to see the chasm between her and Julian. The creature held out his hand towards her. Jenny looked down to see it was a human hand.
She extended her hand to take his.

A/N: I hope u like this. I will try to update in a while I really would like reviews please.
