Hey!! You know, I've developed a philosophy about fanfics... if you can't think of anything to write for your stories, start a new one! This is my third fanfics I'm attempting. Unfortunately, my other two are nowhere near finished but I've read so many GW/SM fics I just *had* to write my own. So I hope you like this one!


She looked over at him even thought the mixture of rain, tears, and blood made it hard to see. It hurt to move, God did it hurt. She visibly winced at the pain of turning her neck, but she didn't care. She needed to see him. Needed to see that he was okay.

But he was not okay.

She would have cried if she were in the right mind. But at the moment she didn't even know if she had a mind. She just stared at him. He wasn't staring back. He wasn't moving.

*Flashback*

"This is a shorter way home. I promise," he said.

"But it's so dark... Isn't there a safer way to go home? I don't really like alleyways."

"Are you afraid?"

"No just... cautious."

"Look, I really don't like it either, but I promised-"

"You'd get me home by my curfew. I know." She sighed. "All right, let's just hurry."

*End Flashback*

She tried to sit up but her body screamed in protest and she let out a painful yelp. It even hurt to talk. She started to drag herself toward him. It took every last bit of strength and sanity to bare the sharp pains throughout her body.

*Flashback*

"Hey you okay?" he asked. "You're shaking."

"I'm fine. Like I said I could really do without alleyways."

"Hn well we're almost home."

There was a rustling noise behind them. She looked back. "What was that?!"

"Probably a cat. Come on."

*End Flashback*

She was dragging herself by her hands. As she went she left bloody handprints on the black concrete. The downpour of rain soon washed them away. Her breathing was jagged and short from the pain. When she finally reached him she collapsed on his chest. Then, using the last of her energy she raised her head and looked at his face.

*Flashback*

"I think we're being followed," she whispered.

"Nonsense. You're being paranoid."

"If you want to live, get down on the ground and put your hands on the back of your head," a voice called out. To make his words final, there was a clicking of a gun taken off safety.

*End Flashback*

"Wake up," she pleaded. "Open your eyes!"

Nothing.

"Please! Please wake up!" More tears fell down her cheeks dragging blood and dirt with them. "I don't want to die alone. Don't let me die alone!"

*Flashback*

"Wow, you've got quite a body," the man spoke as he looked her over.

"Don't touch her!" her boyfriend warned.

"And what are you gonna do about it?" he asked as he pointed his gun towards him. He said nothing. "Yeah that's what I thought." His attention turned back to the young girl lying on the concrete. "If you do everything I tell you to I promise you or your boyfriend won't get hurt." He started to reach down.

And that's when all hell broke lose.

Her boyfriend jumped up and tried to grab the man's gun. Alarmed at his action, the man pulled the trigger. A bullet was shot into his chest, shattered three or four ribs, and tore through a delicate muscle called the heart. His life was ended instantly. The girl stood up and screamed. Not thinking, the man pointed the gun at her and fired. She was hit in the stomach. She fell to her knees and lingered there for a few seconds. Then she completely fell over and her head struck the pavement rather hard. She was rendered unconscious and a huge gash formed on her forehead.

The man dropped his gun. "No...! I just wanted money... not this!" he turned tail and ran as far away as he could.

*End Flashback*

"I wish I wasn't alone," she cried. "I never pictured me dying like this. I never pictured me dying! Please, not like this..." Her whole body started to glow white but she didn't notice it. Infact, she was unconscious from pain and loss of blood. The light enveloped her body and then she disappeared.

An hour later Darien Shields was pronounced dead and his girlfriend Serena a missing persons.

A/N Yeah it's kinda short and stuff but I'll try to make the next chapter a little longer!! Ja!
