(Yay, I just figured out how to use the page-breaker!)

(Rachel/Grim's POV)

I stood there, frozen in horror until the rage I felt boiled in my blood. Alexander let go of Wade's hair, letting him collapse the rest of the way to the ground.

Charging at the older man, I ducked the swing of his blade and that was when my training kicked in. For the past few months, Zero taught me where twenty sensitive pressure points are and now was when I used them. I ripped the strap of his cloth-bag and threw it up to blind him. He threw a blinded jab with the knife but it just missed my shoulder as I swung my arm with my thumb knuckle colliding against his jaw to weaken it. Both of my arms flew up, forearms banging his ears hard for disorienting. He kept taking shots in the dark when he swung at me, only leaving a deep cut on my arm. Blood spurted out and pain burned inside it but it swiftly closed up. Another blow to his jaw fractured it and one to his throat caused momentary suffocation.

It only took one more punch to completely dislocate his jaw and a loud crack sounded along with a choked-back scream due to the slight swelling of his throat. While raking my nails hard across his cheek, my fist launched into his abdomen and ruptured his diaphragm. 'Now for the finale' I thought as I jumped, spinning around to round-house kick him.

The man was knocked to the ground, unconscious and seriously damaged. It took a lot of strength mainly to restrain myself from ripping Alexander to shreds! Instead, I knelt beside Wade and pressed my fingers to his neck, checking for a sign that he was alive. He was just unconscious as I held the shirtless man, trying to keep his freezing body warm. Just holding him was getting blood all over my clothes. I screamed for help.

(Victor's POV)

The first thought I had when I heard Grim scream for help was that Zero was hurt her again. I dashed down the halls on all fours but once I arrived to the locker room, I saw her covered in red. She didn't look hurt but the young man in her arms looked brutalized! John teleported not far from me, I ordered him to take Wade and his father to the infirmary.

"What happened here?" I asked Grim, picking up the knife on the floor that had hers and Wade's blood covering it.

She told me she saw Alexander brutalizing his son and she beat him up.

"We'll have him arrested but how did you blood get on the knife if you don't even look like you have a scratch?" I asked, tossing away the knife carelessly.

"Don't you remember? You mixed you blood with mine on the first day I was here." she reminded me.

I nodded and looked at her, just…staring at her.

"What?" she broke the silence.

"Nothing" I bit my lip slightly, restraining myself from jumping her as I thought of her as my blood-covered soul mate. "You just look good in red" my face heated up.

"Really?" her voice was flat and she rose and eye brow at me.

She walked past me to the showers to wash off the drying blood. Without thinking, I waited for the sound of water running to follow her. The second I saw her body, I noticed the old scars and old burns on her back. She was tortured once. Lightly, the tips of my claws touched her shoulder and she glanced back to see me.

"Dude, go away" she used her arms to cover up.

I was quiet, "Someone hurt you…"

"So? Everyone get's hurt once in a while" she replied, looking like she was seething a little.

"Grim…Rachel, I promise that I'll never hurt you" I didn't know why I said that.

"Like rules, promises are fragile." was all she said before walking away.

"…I love you" I blurted out before she left.

She turned to me with a robe on and tied up, "I know."

How did she know? I didn't tell anyone that!

"Victor, it takes a second to tell someone they love them…but it takes a lifetime to show it."

"You got that from the internet, didn't you?"

"Google Images, I typed in 'Love quotes'." she smiled before leaving.

I ran up to her, grabbing her arm, "But do you love me?"

She didn't look me in the eyes when she said "No…I can't love you, Victor."

"You're lying" I couldn't control my mouth.

"I'm not-" I interrupted her.

"Than look at me!" I growled, a little frustrated.

She pulled her head up, tears at the brims of her eyes. I loosened my grip on her arm as she spoke.

"I can't love you, Victor, everyone that I've been with -man or woman- always left me because of what I am! Because of me, my parents are dead and people got hurt. I can't have my heart broken again, you'll just use me and dump me like the others!" she turned away so I wouldn't see her cry.

Every tear she had shed made my heart ache worse and worse until I put a hand on her shoulder.

"Rachel, you said everyone left you because you're a mutant, right? Well, look at me, I'm a monster. I'm the only one that doesn't look normal at all but you…" I turned her towards me and wiped away her tears. "…you're beautiful." I brushed a lock of hair out of her face.

She looked up at me, her damp eyes sparkling in the light until she threw her arms around me, our lips pressing together. Slowly by slowly, our heart aches faded and together…our fragmented lives were whole.

THE END!

(Sorry it's a little short, so everything turns out great, Wade loves Chris, Victor loves Grim/Rachel and Wade's dad is back in jail. Hooray! See ya in my next story! I'm doing Sonic the Hedgehog fanfics for now!)
