Chapter 22

Narrator

Vincent elegantly stood up bringing Tara along with him. He threw his arm around her waist and drew her closer to him.

Zane psychically tensed with anger and took a step closer.

"ah ah ah" Vincent taunted, putting a finger up.

Zane flex visibly getting ready to pounce.

"You know…I could have sworn you two had broken up. Don't tell me you're trying to steal my girl from me…are you?" Vincent smirked, raising an eyebrow.

"First of all, she's not yours. And secondly get your hands off her before I break them off." Zane threatened, taking another step towards them.

"What's this? YOU are threatening ME?" Vincent laughed. "She has chosen me, she wants ME."

"No she doesn't."

"Tara darling haven't you chosen me, and ONLY me?" Vincent gently gripped Tara's face, angling up to look at him.

"Yes." Tara replied emotionless.

Zane snapped and launched towards Vincent.

Vincent glance up smirking and vanished. He popped back up across the room and Zane turned to jump at him but he was hit behind the head.

Zane knelt down, shaking the dizzy feeling away.

Tara stood over Zane with a knife in her hand. Zane quickly dodge the swift strike of Tara's knife near his throat. She crouched down, knife in hand, and launched towards him. She collided against his body, throwing her hand directly towards his heart. He stopped her hand from sinking the knife into his chest and pushed her against the wall, trying to hold her still.

"Tara! Snap out of it!" Zane yelled in her face, still struggling to detach her from the knife.

She kicked him back and he stumbled and fell on his back. She drew her arm back and threw the knife at him, hitting him right on the side of his stomach.

He hissed in pain and pulled the knife out quickly throwing it under the bed. Tara leered back, smiling evilly.

Vincent chuckled as he watched the two square off into another fight. He smiled when he noticed Zane gave no intention of hurting Tara, but she was keen on killing him.

Life seemed pretty great for Vincent as he watched the two tangle. He walked over the two, watching as Tara continued to try to hold Zane down, which was becoming easier for her, considering how he was hurt. Vincent shoved his foot down, stepping on Zane's throat, keeping him from moving, and breathing.

Zane fought to get the boot off his throat, but struggled to stop Tara from hurting him further.

"Tara… Bite him." Vincent said, smiling down.

Tara crawled up Zane, and Vincent moved his foot to hold Zane face back, exposing his throat. He gripped Zane's face so roughly, he dug his nails into his jaw watching as blood began to drip.

Tara leaned over and stopped at his throat. There seemed to be a moment where she seemed almost confused. She opened her mouth but no fangs showed. Zane tried to push her away but Vincent tightened his cold on him and he stopped moving. Not because he couldn't move, but because the pain was too much.

Zane needed a way to get Tara back. He had no idea how he was going to snap her out of it, but he needed a plan, any plan.

Tara still seemed confused on how to bite him and Zane wanted to make his move quickly.

"Tara, I said bite him" Vincent said, his voice had a more demanding tone to it.

"Tara!" Vincent said, he leaned down to get a better look at Tara's face and that is when Zane made his move.

Tearing Vincent's hand away from his face, Zane shoved him aside and gripped Tara's face quickly.

"Tara!" Zane desperately said, shaking her a little.

"You disgusting animal." Vincent recovered, calling Zane a name.

Zane crushed his lips to Tara's quickly, hoping something good would come from it.

She ripped her lips away from him, and stood up, backing away. She shook and let out a scream before crumbling to the floor, holding her head in her hands.

"What the hell did you do to her!" Vincent yelled at Zane angrily and gripped Zane by the hair, dragging him across the room.

"I'll make you regret ever putting your disgusting lips on my fiancé!" Vincent said, punching Zane in the face.

Zane tried to fight back, but he was mostly trying to block himself from getting hit. Vincent struggled to keep Zane down, and gripped him by his hair, slamming the back of his head onto the floor.

Zane tried to get his hair free by holding onto the hand that gripped his hair. Zane looked up the instant a large white wolf chomped down on Vincent's throat, dragging him to the side and off of Zane.

Zane quickly realized it was Tara in her wolf form. He struggled to his feat trying to help her.

"Tara!" Vincent gurgled out. His throat was being crushed by Tara's jaws.

She shook him like a rag doll, and angrily dragged him around.

"Tara… I don't want to do this…but your making me have to." Vincent struggled.

Vincent clawed at her face and tried shoving his fingers in her eyes. When he found contact to one of her eyes she quickly let go, shaking her head. The most damaged he had done was just scare her into letting him go.

He gripped his throat, waiting for it to heal. When he noticed it wasn't healing he began to panic. What the hell had she done to him?

"I've made you human" She growled out. "At least for a moment"

She crept towards him making him take steps back.

"What do you mean!" he said, looking around wildly.

Before Vincent could say another word Zane ran into him. He felt a sharp pain and leaned against the wall. Zane pulled away revealing a knife sticking out of Vincent's chest, directly where his heart was.

Vincent slid to the floor in shock. He felt pain…he felt pain and he was bleeding. He wasn't healing.

This shouldn't be possible, he should be fine now.

He looked up at Tara, she continued to look at him with her green eyes, as if damming him to hell.

Why was she looking at him so angrily, when all he had ever done was love her?

He stared down at his hands noticing that they began to deteriorate. He was…dying.

He was turning to ashes…

He felt so odd, as if content with dying…as if he had been waiting for this moment all his life.

Tara returned back to human and watched the many emotions cross Vincent's face. She stood over him and knelt down, until she was face to face with him. She watched his arms and leg start to deteriorate and turn the ashes. She gently placed her hand on his cheek, getting him look into her eyes.

She seen something foreign in his eyes. She seen sadness but mostly happiness.

He gave a small smile to her and whispered a thanks before the rest of his body turned to ashes. She knelt there still holding her hand out to where his face once was. She looked at her wrist and watched as the 'X' mark faded away. She quickly turned around and noticed Zane panting

She ran and knelt beside him. He had his hand covered over his wound and she quickly looked for something to stop the bleeding.

"Are you okay?" He asked her, even though she should have been asking HIM that.

"I'm fine but…You don't look so hot." She said, helping him stand and lay him down on the bed. "I'll go get help"

She started to pull away but he gripped her arm, stopping her.

She turned around in question .

"I love you." He said.

She looked stunned and tears sprang to her eyes.

"I love you to Zane." She said, then pulled away and ran out the room.

Zane leaned his aching head back feeling dizzy and really tired.

Before he realized what had happen he was in a dead sleep.

Tara returned finding Zane on the bed asleep. The doctor was at his side before she could blink. She felt horrible that the most damage he got was from her stabbing him. She felt helpless, scared and sick.

After the doctor looked him over, he opened a box filled with medical supplies such as bandages and sanitary wipes.

She watched as the doctor checked the stab wound and pour alcohol over it.

She waited for Zane to scream in agony but he never did. He just laid there in a deep sleep, oblivious to everything around him.

Once the doctor finished he told her to make sure to give him rest and feed him if he awakes. She nodded and he exited the room.

There was a knock at the door and it slid open, considering how it was missing a handle.

Alex and Matt walked in, wide eyed.

"What…what happened?" Alex asked, looking around and noticing blood on the walls and floor.

Tara sighed.

"It's a long story…But I need your help. I think it's better to take him to his own room." She said, hinting for them to help her pick him up and take him to his room.

Alex nodded and Matt also agreed. They went around the bed, gently lifting him and walking out the door carefully. Of course Zane's head was slightly hit by the door frame and everyone froze, stopping and watching what would happen.

Zane continued to sleep and they began to walk once again.

Once inside his room they set him on his bed, pulling the covers over him.

Tara's measly attempt to tuck him in failed flat. She was so nervous she thought she would vomit.

"Are you okay?" Alex brought Tara back to reality.

Tara nodded and went back to worrying about Zane.

Would they really be okay now? Would he still want to be with her?

Matt sat on the floor picking lint off his pants.

"I know this is probably the wrong time to say this…but I'm going out with Jenny." he said awkwardly, averting his eyes from Tara and Alex.

Tara's mouth hung open and it felt like her eyes were going to pop out of her skull.

"She's actually a good person, but you have to get to know her." He said quickly.

Alex looked slightly dazed and confused.

"I…Well congratulations!" Tara said, feeling odd.

All three of them waited for Zane to awake, but a week had past and he still hadn't woken up. Tara was pacing back and forth, worrying, crying.

What if he never woke up?

As soon as she thought that Zane tossed on the bed. Tara's head shot up and she stopped pacing. She rushed to his side, hoping he would wake up this time.

When his eyes opened she almost fainted from relief.

'Zane" She whispered, leaning over him.

His eyes flickered over to her and softened. His hand rose and he cupped her face gently.

Alex and Matt both looked at each other and decided to leave the two love birds alone, leaving the room.

"I'm so glad you're okay. I'm so sorry I stabbed you!" She said quickly.

"I would have stopped but he-" Her words were cut off by a scorching kiss.

He pulled her down on the bed and held her tightly. Nothing would take her away from him this time.

Zane and Tara made their way towards the elevators to go to lunch. They held hands and joked around, poking each other.

Tara glanced up and froze in her spot. Zane stopped with her and looked up to see what had caught her attention.

There, in the middle of the hallway stood Vincent, making his way down the hall towards them.

"Vincent!" Tara said loudly, completely shocked.

Vincent looked up surprised and then confused.

"Do…I know you?" He asked.

Zane didn't know whether to kick him in the face or believe that this person didn't know them.

"You…You're Vincent right?" Tara asked, pointing a finger at him.

"Uh, my name is Vince…" he said, looking at Tara then at Zane confused.

"Vince…Not Vincent?" She asked him once again.

"Yes my name is Vince Roberts…" He was trying to make his way past them.

"Do you have a brother?" She asked him hurriedly as he tried to slip by.

"No…I'm an only child. Look you guys are freaking me out so I'm just going to leave now." He said quickly marching ahead, leaving them to stare at the empty space he once was.

Tara looked up at Zane and they had the same puzzled expression on.

"Naw…" They said at the same time, walking to the elevators.

Their new life was just starting. The past is the past and the future is just beginning. They held each others hands and walked inside the elevator.

Zane looked over at Tara with a twinkle in his eyes. He leaned down and kissed Tara as the elevator doors closed, taking them to their new destination.
