A Crow Named Adrian and The Bully James

Noire's p.o.v.

I watched Kid as he called someone and tilted my head. What's wrong? He walked out the door quickly but I could hear him yelling.

"WHAT THE HELL DID MY DAD MEAN BY YOU LET HIM ESCAPE!" I looked at Fade out of the corner of my eyes and rubbed that spot where the arrow was. I tried to wash it off before too.....it never came off or faded.....Is he talking about.....I gulped and curled up into a ball worried. The dreams were real....he tapped into them.....

"YOU BETTER FIND HIM.....FINE, I will send someone to get you two. When we find him this time we are gonna kill him and then your gonna be next on my list." Kid walked back in he was currently putting his phone in his pocket. "Hey...uh...James escaped DWMA.I am going to get Soul and Maka to go get Spirit and Stein their gonna be watching us now until we find him." He informed us and then walked out the room quickly in business mode. I slowly crawled off of the couch and started crawling out of the room to the bathroom to throw up. H-he got out...Is he really after me? Fade walked in and sat down by me.

"Hey, you ok? I promise James wont hurt you this time." She ensured me. I wish I could believe her but James said he was coming for me.

"So the dreams were real then....." I mumbled.

"The question is....he got to tap into your dreams by help...Who helped him?"

"I know where the arrow came from sort of...James's help showed up too, but I didn't get to see this person but they marked me for some reason....."

"You have a witch taking interest in you." Fade tensed up. "A witch."

"I think I'm going to go somewhere else. I don't know what this mark does. I don't want to see you get hurt and if it's magic, it's got to be bad."

"Your not going anywhere, your staying with us where we can protect you. If it was bad or something we would have done found out."

"Well what would a witch mark someone for?" I looked at the arrow.

"I guess so other witches wont touch you." She clenched her jaw.

"So she's saving me for later?"

"Most likely. She will not touch you though...or get anywhere near you."

"Maka told me that witches are very powerful though and even a cat with magical powers was hard to beat." I muttered.

"Let's not worry over this right now okay? We are supposed to be having fun." Fade pulled me into a hug.

"Mkay." I smiled a little and stood up. "LET'S GO!" I giggled and ran out of the bathroom and into the living room of the cabin and turned on the radio getting some music going.

"yes! BRING ME THE HORIZON IS PLAYING!" She yelled as she entered. I giggled and pulled her over to me.

"LET'S PARTY!"

"PARTY TIME!" She giggled and everyone came into the room besides Maka and Soul. They stared us down confused.

"WHAT? CAN'T TAKE GOOD VIBES?" Noire shouted over the music.

"YOU TWO ARE SO CRAZY..." Kyle shook his head and then Thomas broke the tension throwing his hands into the air and walked over.

"YAH! PARTY TIME!"

"COME ON EVERYONE! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!" I shouted to the bums staring at us.

"YEAH!" Cori rushed over and started dancing. I high fived Cori and giggled.

"CORI GETS IT! THOMAS GETS IT! FADE GETS IT! I GET IT! WHAT ABOUT YOU?" I looked at them smiling.

"LET'S PARTY!" Liz pulled Dave to us and Patti, Tsubaki, and Kyle joined. I grabbed Kid and pulled him into the little circle of party vibes. Alexander and Black Star stood on the other side of the room, but Alexi was ditched by Black Star.

"THE PARTY DON'T START UNTIL I JOIN!" He shouted going to Fade.

"YA, PLEASE DONT STOP THE MUSIC!" Alexi yelled and ran over.

"YAY! PARTY TIME!" I giggled and hugged Kid. Fade led the party outside, Dave carried a cooler and Kid started a fire for us. I watched in satisfaction and sat down next to the fire and pulled out a bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers, and a whole thing of Hershey bars. I got a stick and started roasting a marshmallow in front of everyone smiling. Fade hooked up the music outside for us to keep it playing. She laughed and then looked over at me and bit her bottom lip watching. I tossed her the bag of marshmallows giggling. She caught it and started eating one. Thomas took the bag from her and walked off laughing evilly. She paled and narrowed her eyes.

"He took my snacks away..." She mumbled to herself then ran after him and tackled him for the bag that was tossed to Kyle.

"Oh we are playing keep away now?" I asked watching as I created my smore.

"DONT LET FADE GET THE MELLOWS!" Kyle yelled as he was tackled by Fade and he threw them and Cori caught them and ran. He ran by me though and I tripped him up and took the bag back.

"My mellows."

"AWE, that's ok, there is another bag going around." He pointed at Alexander who had a bag.

"My marshmallows." Alexander said protectively and hid them behind his back. Fade crossed her arms looking at him.

"But I want them." She walked up to them. I raised an eyebrow. I'd share but.....she don't even realize I have some.

"NO! GO ASK YOUR LITTLE TOY OVER THERE." Alexander pointed to me. Toy?

"Toy? NOW YOUR ASKING FOR IT!" She tackled him and got the marshmallows and started eating on top of him. Toy? I stared at them and shook my head.

"When did I become a toy?"

"Never." Kid said sitting by me and Fade was tackled by Black Star who took off running with the bag again. She sat up and looked around then stopped seeing he was who tackled her and got up  and then took off in his direction but was tripped by Alexander.

"FADE I HAVE MARSHMELLOWS!" I giggled and held them up.

"YAY!" She got to her feet and then ran over to me after stepping all over Alexander. I handed her the bag and smiled at her.

"Glad you're happy." I gave her a kiss on the cheek and leaned against Kid. He kissed the top of my head and she started making two smores. I relaxed and listened to the music feeling a little worn out from all the nightmares I had. My sleep hasn't been very peaceful lately.... "Hey Kid?"

"Yeah?" He asked.

"How much longer till bed time?"

"WELL...A few hours."

"So like three?"

"You can go to bed whenever you feel like it, you are probably jet lagged."

"Nightmare lagged more like it." I yawned and rested my head in Kid's lap.

"Let's go get some rest then." He suggested.

"I think I can hold on till sunset at least." I mumbled quietly.

"I don't think your mind will."

"Huh?"

"You falling asleep in my lap."

"What about it?"

"I am going to go take you to your bunk." He got up holding me in his arms.

"No.....I can stay up.....I think...."

"Get some rest Noire, I will wake you up when your daddies get here with supper." Fade told me munching on a smore.

"Ok." I said accepting Fade's order.

"Good night, rest well." Everyone said and Kid took me inside to my bunk bed. I looked at him and smiled.

"So bed again...."

"Yeah...want me to stay in here with you incase of another nightmare...I could wake you. Where are my rings?"

"In my bag in that box." I pointed to my bag and rolled over to look at him better. He summoned them and then gave them to me.

"There." He kissed my head. "Want me to give you Fade's?"

"If she wants. I don't really mind if you guys don't." I smiled at him as I put his rings on my fingers again. He summoned hers and gave them to me.

"Cool...I can summon her rings as well...I wonder if I can summon her skateboard..."

"Weirdo." I put the rings on the chain around my neck and pulled Kid down into the bunk with me. He laid down by me and held me close to him. I smiled softly and gave him a soft kiss.  He kissed back and closed his eyes. I made it a little bit more deeper and closed my own eyes for a second. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes then smiled.

"Get some rest."

"Uh huh." I bit my bottom lip and turned over to face the wall instead of him. He laughed softly and held me resting his head behind mine. I sighed and turned over to face him and watched him before giving him a kiss on his forehead and relaxed. He closed his eyes after watching me. Nighty night Kid. I curled up against him and shut my eyes taking a nap.

I sat up in a room with no windows and looked around seeing a door and got up going to it and opened it walking out and found myself outside in a magical fairy garden. The fairies flitted around from the flowers dancing with each other when they met and giggled. I smiled and walked through the garden to the middle where a huge fountain was and touched the water sparkling in the moonlight and giggled as a fairy came up to me and smiled at me. "Noire! You're back!"

"Hey there Eve. How are you?"

"I'm fine! Where have you been? You've been gone from us for a long time!" She pouted and tilted her tiny head.

"In a field of flowers and.....my dreams haven't been very pleasant lately."

"WELL THEN. Today is the Lunar Festival! Tell me you are gonna play with us again!" She giggled and sat down on my shoulder.

"I will." I laughed and the others gathered around.

"NOIRE SAID SHE'D PLAY WITH US!" Eve shouted and the group cheered.

"What are we playing?" I asked happily.

"HIDE N SEEK!" Eve shouted and she put a blind on me and I heard the fairies scatter.

"I have to find all of you?" I paled. "HOW ABOUT I FIND ONE AND THEN THAT ONE TAKES OVER?"

"FINE!" Eve shouted. I giggled and started counting to 60. When I was done I took off the blindfold and started searching for Eve in the direction I heard her and saw a door on the side of the garden. When did that get there? I don't remember this.... I spotted Eve hiding behind a leaf and picked her up.

"Found ya." She gasped and pouted.

"Not fair! You heard me answer you!"

"What's with the new door?" I asked pointing to it.

"Hmm? Oh that? Don't go through it. It's just some stupid thing that was put there. We've already checked it out. It's not near as pretty and interesting as here in our garden." She looked at me smiling.

"What's behind it?"

"Jeez....human curiosity. Almost as bad as a cat's curiosity." Eve crossed her arms.

"You didn't answer me."

"It's not important. What's important is the fact that we are playing hide n seek and I'm it." She flew up into my face. "So go hide away from this door. Don't open it." She flew off to the fountain and sat down on the edge and started counting.

"3, 5, 1, 7, 4, 9, etc." I heard her mumble. Can fairies not count? That's a little sad.... BUT THAT'S WHY I LIKE IT HERE. I giggled and ran over to a tree nearby and climbed up into it hiding at the top behind a bunch of leaves and relaxed. "I'M COMING FOR YOU NOIRE! I DON'T LIKE BEING IT!" I heard her shout. I stifled a laugh and watched her fly around checking the bushes and behind benches and stuff. "Noire? Did you go through that door?" She flew over to the door and inspected it. "No, she's in here somewhere." She glanced upwards and giggled. "NOIRE! I FOUND YOU!" She flew up to me and sat in my lap. "Gotcha!"

"Aw! No fair! I'm bigger than you." I giggled and jumped out of the tree landing on the ground. Eve followed and sat on my head.

"I win so go count." She laughed and flew off to go hide. I watched her and went to go count again and this time I searched for Baelin. I found him and caught him quickly.

"No you don't you little escape artist!"

"Aw! Let me go! I don't like being caught!"

"No one does." I smiled.

"Well at least your nice." He smiled at me and stood up in my hand. "EVERYONE THE GAME IS OVER! I DECLARE NOIRE THE WINNER!" The group groaned in disappointment and came out.

"Why?" Eve asked.

"Well....I'm going to see what's behind that door since how you won't tell me." I tilted my head as Baelin went to his hiding spot. I walked over to the door through the crowd of fairies and they all grabbed a part of my shirt and started trying to pull me backwards and stop me. A lot of them were shouting no at me and telling me not to. I sighed and opened the door and stared in amazement at the labyrinth before me.

The fairies flew away from me deciding that they couldn't stop me now and went back to having fun dancing with each other. I took a deep breath and stepped into the maze and when I looked back, the door was gone. A evil laugh went through the maze made by James. "You've got to be kidding me.....AGAIN?" I hit a wall of the maze in frustration. "EVE YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME." Only one thing now to do. I've got to solve the maze and find a way out.

I started walking through it and then scaled one of the walls and stood up on top of it looking around hoping to find the end. The walls got taller from the wall I stood up on and there was no telling where the exit or entrance was. "Uh huh....Ok. I can do this." I jumped down on the other side and walked whatever way I felt.

After a while, I had gotten turned around and found myself back where I started. I closed my eyes and then snapped them open and kicked the wall hard. "DAMN IT." I felt my toe get hurt and I sat down and cradled my poor foot.

A group of bird took off flying over the maze and on the other side of the wall I heard wolves howling. "Oh my god." I stood up quickly fear taking over and climbed up onto the wall and started running down the top of it deciding it would be safer up here than on the floor of the maze if wolves are here.

After a few feet on the wall it stopped and grew taller in front of me several inches above my head. Wolves howled down below and had been chasing me and they now started jumping up the wall trying to get me. I conjured knifes and threw one at the biggest ones head. Taking out the alpha....check. Now to scream in fear.

I took the two knifes I still had and used them to help me climb the wall and got to the top of the next one and I watched the wolves from a safe height. They growled at me and circled trying to get to me and jumped on the wall and in the air. They suddenly stopped and took off running another direction. "Huh? That can't be good." I watched them go and decided to make a break for it down this wall and raced away in the other direction of the wolves not wanting to encounter them again or whatever they found to chase now. I ran straight into a hard surface and fell backwards onto my butt. I almost slipped off the wall but I caught myself and stood up and looked at what I had hit. It was another wall higher, way higher then the last one.

"Great....just great." I looked down at the ground for the wolves. They was gone and a ladder appeared to help me get to the ground. I stared at the ladder. Normally if something appears like that, it's because of him. The house appeared too.....I really want down though.....falling from this height could be bad for me. I sighed and glanced around to make sure no one was in sight but I didn't see anything but maze. I shrugged and climbed down the ladder and took off running again through the maze listening for anything.....anything at all.

A few feet in front of me a door appeared. "A door?" I stopped running and looked at it. It's probably a way out....but should I take the risk of it leading to something else? It's just a dream so.....ok. I'll play along for now. I opened the door cautiously and stepped through. It led into another part of the maze. "HUH? You've got to be kidding me. ANOTHER ONE JAMES?" I shouted wondering if this was even his doing. Well....I did hear that laugh.....that evil laugh.....

I cautiously took a few steps forward. Then deciding I wanted to run, I ran and took random turns making sure that all of my senses were on edge. Behind me I heard footsteps slowly following. My heart beat faster and adrenaline rushed through me pushing me faster and I glanced over my shoulder risking running into a wall, but I didn't see anything so I looked back in front of me and kept running looking at the walls wondering if I should scale them again. That's when I noticed they were waaaaaaaay too tall for me. I focused on running instead and took a right turn and started running that way.

I heard howling again from the wolves but this time in front of me. I shrieked and conjured knifes and started climbing up the walls with them deciding that I would get really high and hang there until they leave me alone again. I quickly got really high out of jumping range and looked down below. A couple of different colored wolves walked by like they was just on a normal routine and disappeared down the maze. "What are they doing? Patrolling the maze on a look out for me or something? I don't think I like this game....." I slowly climbed down and started running again down the way the wolves came. I noticed a latter a few feet above my height stretched out flat from one wall to the other. "Uh huh. No, I'm not taking that one." I kept running down the maze and checked behind me. Behind me a dark figure was following me casually. "I'M MORE PRONE TO LEFT TURNS!" I shouted behind me. "JUST SO YOU KNOW YOU LITTLE STALKER!" A wall opened up to my right. "I said left." I shrugged and took the turn wanting to change it up a bit. I started wondering if there was even a way out. It's a dream....there may not be one.... Damn it. Next time I'll listen to Eve. I looked behind me to see if my stalker was still there. I seen nothing but there was a crow sitting above the hole in the wall that was closing. No! it's a closing hole! I've been tricked! I raced towards it panicking, but I didn't make it. Sighing I turned around and kept walking deciding to save my energy. The crow screeched and then flew over to me and landed on my shoulder.

"What's this? A pet?" I looked at it. "Where are you from? Hell?"

"I am not from hell." The crow said in a very low voice and if he was a man he probably would be a few years older and hot....Wait....he sounds familiar. I stared at it.

"Dude, go away." I stared at him. "You're definitely bad news. I'm not in control in this dream so your probably a little present from my stalker to mess with me."

"Wait who is stalking you..."

"I think his name is James...yeah....James the RETARD!" I shouted loud enough in case James was listening.

"James? I knew a James. Well this explains a lot."

"What is your name?" I looked at him and tilted my head. "You're a little.....odd for this dream."

"I cant remember....Maybe I am James!"

"You're not James. No way are you James. You wouldn't have approached me yet. I don't think James is going to show up until I get lost or I get close to wherever he wants me to be."

"Who are you talking to Noire?" James asked/ yelled from somewhere in the maze.

"SO IT IS YOU!" I shouted back. "STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME AND MY DREAMS!"

"NEVER! HEY TELL WHOEVER YOUR TALKING TO TO GO AWAY BECAUSE YOUR MINE TO MESS WITH!"

"SO THIS ISN'T A LITTLE PRESENT FROM YOU?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IS IT A WOLF? BAD WOLF GET BACK TO CHASING HER!"

"AHHHHHHH! I'M RUNNING! OK, YOU WIN! I'LL RUN SOME MORE!" I took off running. "Yo crow, follow me." The crow got off my shoulder and flew up into the sky and disappeared then came back and landed in front of me.

"I see this big opening on the other side of this wall to the right, it has a tree."

"Thanks little guy. You sound awfully familiar.....You sure you can't remember your name? Not even the first letter?"

"I don't remember." He muttered. "Why am I a crow?"

"Dunno, so you can help me? You're voice reminds me of Adrian but I ate that guy's soul...."

"Adrian." He got quiet.

"What?" I kneeled down in front of him. "You ok?"

"WHY AM I IN YOUR DREAM NOIRE!"

"Hmm?" I gave him a confused look and petted his head. "What do you mean?"

"I remember now, you ate my soul how the hell am I in your dream?"

"Wait....what? Adrian?" I tilted my head and petted him some more.

"Stop petting me that is so weird." He backed away from me. I was taken aback.

"You don't want me to pet you? But your like a pet.....a pet crow."

"If I show up in your dreams for now on and you pet me every time I am going to bite you."

"Well at least it's not murderous intent anymore. That's progress already." I smiled at him. "So you are Adrian?"

"Unfortunatly. I have to spend all your life time now stuck in here don't I...WAIT JAMES IS HERE!"

"Well after you died and I ate your soul, James showed up and tried to kidnap me and torture me and kill me and now that I got away, he's gone and got help from a witch to mess with my dreams so he taps into them just about every time I fall asleep now. Guess you're getting dragged into this now because I ate your soul." I said to catch Adrian up.

"Oh...so he IS here."

"Yeah, he's having fun I think. Don't tell me you are going to team up with him." I winced. "You're part of me now so please don't."

"I am going to totally go find him, well I would but I am having to much fun with you. I know. I will get him to come to us!"

"No, no, no, no, no! DON'T DO IT!" I got down on my hands and knees. "I beg of you! Don't get him over here!" I laid down on the ground and pleaded with him.

"Wow getting down to my height, I like that. So now that I am here in your dream I might as well have fun right? So I decided to get him over here." He flew off into the sky.

"GET BACK HERE! PLEASE! I'LL FORGIVE YOU FOR MY MOMMY!" I shouted after him. He came back and landed on my shoulder.

"Do you think I will be stuck as a crow for the rest of your life in your dreams?"

"How should I know? Do you want a human form? It looks like you can escape more than me." I looked at him. He tensed up on my shoulder and turned around.

"Don't want to scare you but I found James."

"No you didn't." I took of running. "HANG ON DUDE!" I screamed and ran as fast as I could.

"AHHHHHH THIS GIRL IS CRAZY JAMES!"

"ADRIAN?" James yelled sounding so confused.

"STAY BACK YOU DEMON!" I shouted behind me and kept running.

"GET BACK HERE YOU HAVE MY ADRIAN!" James appeared in front of me. I stopped quickly and stared at him.

"Go away....." I said quietly. Adrian flew off my shoulder quickly and disappeared.

"ADRIAN! COME BACK!" James yelled then looked at me and gave me a death glare.

"I meant you. Not Adrian." I took a step back. "ADRIAN COME BACK PLEASE!"

"NO WAY IN HECK I AM STAYING UP HERE AWAY FROM YOU TWO. Like really James who puts a poor girl in a scary maze like this? Okay I probably would but still."

"YOU BETTER KNOCK IT OFF BEFORE I FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET YOU TO GO AWAY FOR REAL!" I shouted up at him.

"Where was I?" James asked. "Oh yea." Adrian came back and sat down on the ground and James picked him up quickly. I closed my eyes and concentrated on Adrian and imagined him as a black cat. When I opened my eyes, I saw that he had become the cat instead of the crow.

"HAH! NOW YOU CAN'T FLY OFF AND LEAVE ME!" I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Ah! Why am I a cat?" I walked right up to James and took Adrian away and cradled him to my chest.

"Because cats are adorable!"

"James do me a favor and get me away from creepy girl that ate my soul." James grabbed him back from me. I gasped and tackled James to the ground and stood up taking Adrian back from him.

"MY KITTY!"

"Oh my gawd, your gonna love him in a minute." The wolves showed up and Adrian hissed and squirmed in my arms clawing at me.

"WELL SCREW YOU TOO ADRIAN!" I threw him at the wolves and summoned some knifes and started climbing the walls again to get out of jumping range and looked down at the scene below me.  James ordered the wolves back and grabbed Adrian.

"Your coming with me." They disappeared.

"Wait a minute...I'm free?" I climbed down and stretched. "YAY! HE'S GONNA LEAVE ME ALONE FOR NOW!" I giggled and hugged myself and sat down taking a break. I laid down and watched some clouds go by. "I'll just chill until I wake up...."  James appeared and grabbed me by my shirt's collar and pulled me to my feet.

"Sorry about that." He smirked and then started pulling me down the maze.

"AHHHHHHH! NO IT'S THE PHSYCO!" I struggled to get away. "STOP WASTING TIME WITH ME AND GO BE WITH ADRIAN BECAUSE WHEN I WAKE UP HE'LL PROBABLY COME WITH ME OUT OF THIS PLACE!" I pointed out for him.

"YOUR NOT GONNA EVER WAKE UP THEN!" He laughed evilly.

"I'm a light sleeper. I'll wake up eventually."

"Seems like your in a deep slumber right now."

"You can control how long I sleep when I do go to sleep when your messing with me?"

"Yes." He mumbled as he dragged me across the ground. Adrian appeared on my belly and purred.

"Oh hey there little guy." I smiled at him and went to pet him but stopped when I remembered the bite threat.

"Hey James what are you going to do with our little Noire?" Adrian asked and flicked his tail.

"Well he's talking about me being in a coma probably. He doesn't want me to wake up again." I told him. "And when did it become 'our'?"

"James you dragging her around is really aggravating my back."

"You can feel what I feel? Oh your in for a treat then. James is probably thinking about murdering me repeatedly in my dream."

"Well I had this wonderful time happening and bam, Adrian shows up....I think torture will have to come later since he is feeling what you feel."

"It isn't exact pain it is more like pain."

"You are SO staying here Adrian." I said smiling. "Especially if it's stopping him from hurting me."

"I don't mind, I get to see James and it is sort of like I am alive now."

"Ok, so in a way you are happy that you are here? That's so sweet." I smiled at him.

"Yes of course I am happy." He laid down and James let me go.

"How am I supposed to get vengeance now?"

"James....you destroyed my fairy dream." I looked up at him.

"Well I am not gonna give you that back."

"I want to see fairies now James." Adrian said.

"Ugh, fine."

"Can I wake up now?" I asked. "Kid and everyone else is waiting for me to wake up."

"Not until he wakes you."

"What? I DONT WANT TO GO BACK TO DEATH IT IS BORING!"

"Adrian.....You almost did that to me." I pointed out. "HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW?"

"I don't like it! I was alone and now I am with this weird guy that keeps saying I am short, a munchkin, and some other things." I closed my eyes and turned Adrian human.

"There. Now off." I pushed Adrian off of me. "You're not a cat anymore."

"Thanks, now I can do this." He leaned in and kissed me. "Take that back with you when you wake up. When you come back I will be waiting for you."

"Huh?" I looked at him and touched my lips nervous. "Why'd you kiss me?"

"Why does James kiss you?"

"I don't know. Why?"

"Because I can." They both said.

"I'm gonna tell my boyfriend that you two won't leave me alone." I mumbled.

"He cant do anything to me, hey when you eat James soul he will be safe from Kid and then he can kiss you all he wants to."

"You are only here because James turned my dreams into soul dreams. It'll stop when he dies." I said sitting up.

"Wait it will? That sucks."

"No it doesn't. I will stop feeling bad for eating you again." I said quickly.

"FEEL BAD! I AM TRAPPED WITH A VERY ANNOYING GUY!"

"Huh? What gu- OH that Kishin I ate.....Poor you." I giggled. "Hey, every time I kiss Kid do you cringe?"

"Let's not talk about that I think I am gonna be sick."

"Kissy kissy kissy." I giggled.

"AHHH! JAMES MAKE HER STOP!"

"Why this is getting funny." James laughed.

"And that time I kissed Fade!"

"I felt that."

"And the times I made out with Kid!" I giggled.

"Eweeee." He got up and then walked over to James. "Eat me."

"Yeah eat him. I don't want him." I said.

"Take my Soul and then forget about vengeance bro." Adrian pleaded.

"I have to kill her to take your soul."

"But Adrian is apart of my soul, I absorbed him. He's not separate from me." I pouted.

"That means you'll become both my souls."

"Ew. I don't wanna be eaten." I stood up and ran away screaming. "I'M NEVER GONNA BE YOUR SNACK!"

"YES YOU WILL! YOU ARE MINE! SEE YOU SOON!"

"YOU AREN'T GONNA TORTURE ME ARE YOU?" I shouted behind me as I kept running.

"I don't want to end up hurting Adrian."

"YOU HURT HIM WHEN YOU STABBED ME!" I shouted. "AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ADRIAN HAS A CONCOUSNESS!"

"I DONT EITHER!"

"YEAH! LET'S GET RID OF HIS SEPERATE CONCOUSNESS!" I stopped and turned around.

"NOOOOOO!" Adrian ran off.

"Too late sweetie!" I got rid of him.

"NOOOO YOU GOT RID OF HIM."

"Why do you care?" I crossed my arms and tapped my foot looking at James. He walked up.

"I don't, now I can torture you."

"OH MY GOSH HOW DO I BRING HIM BACK!" I started running again the other way.  He chased after me.

I sat up panting and smacked Kid in the process on accident. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry Kid." I winced and looked at him.

"Owe, what is wrong." He pouted and leaned in kissing my head.

"He's still messing with me." I said quietly. "Adrian showed up too and kissed me...."

"Adrian....thought you ate his soul."

"I-I did. I don't know how or why but he showed up in my dream with James. He didn't remember who he was at first."

"That is so strange." He tilted his head.

"Yeah....and in the last dream, the one before this one, James kissed me. What's up with that? They both freaking kissed me."

"I don't understand, they want me to kill them...Well If I could kill Adrian I would do it."

"Oh I got my revenge. I can destroy his separate consciousness, and change his forms."

"Forms..."

"He was a crow at first, then I changed him into a cat, and then I turned him human because he was still complaining about not being a human."

"HA, I would've made him stay an animal."

"Oh, he was all over me as a cat though. He laid on me and was purring and all kinds of crazy."

"I don't want to know no more." He shook his head.

"I don't think I will go to sleep for a long time again.....James was talking about torturing me after Adrian left and became part of me again." I hugged Kid.

"I will find him soon, well we will." He got up. "Your daddies are here."

"DADDIES!" I stood up and ran out of the room into the living room and found them and hugged them.

"Hey Noire!" Spirit said and hugged me back after Stein did.

"I missed you guys!" I giggled and looked at Stein. "Hey Stein? Can witches mess with dreams or help someone mess with dreams?"

"Yeah." Stein nodded.

"Oh ok. Now I definitely know I've been messed with by a witch." I shrugged and sat down on the couch.

"We missed you as well."

"You two's room is downstairs." Kid said.

"Kid, come sit next to me!" I patted the spot by me and looked up at him. He walked over and sat down smiling.

"Hey Noire! Your awake, Maka, Soul, Stein, and Spirit got chinnese for us. It is in the kitchen." Fade said as she walked in.

"YAY!" I got up then looked at Stein. "Hey....do you think you can stop the dreams?" I asked him seriously. Sure he didn't know until 3 minutes ago that I was being messed with.

"Um....I don't know." Stein said.

"Crud....so I'm stuck with James screwing with my mind?"

"For now. I could experiment on you."

"What kind of experiment?" I turned to look at him.

"Surgery! On the brain." Fade fell over passing out.

"NOPE!" I ran into the kitchen fast and got some food then came back and sat down next to Kid. "I'd take James torturing me over you poking my brain."

"Okay then." He sat down by Spirit on a couch and Fade woke and sat up slowly and went into the kitchen.

"Soo.....do I have to sleep tonight or can I just stay up on caffeine for the rest of the night."

"You can stay up until five." Kid said.

"Five in the morning?" I looked at him.

"Yeah."

"But I don't want to go to sleep...." I pouted.

"You have to sleep." Spirit said.

"He's waiting to get me again. I know he is. He says that he can control how long it takes for me to wake up. What if he never lets me back up again?"

"I don't think he can control that, that witch isn't that powerful otherwise we would've done found her." Stein said.

"She marked me." I mumbled quietly and rubbed my arm a little.

"Soul protect." Spirit mumbled.

"Noire and I are gonna kill him." Fade said as she walked in with a plate of food.

"Yeah! Then maybe the dreams will stop! The witch might leave me alone too!" I cheered up a bit and started eating.

"She better." Fade said and sat by me.

"It's funny because after I was marked I was falling down into a sea of blood and I saw a pink/ purple haired person with a black sword standing on a cliff watching me." I remarked.

"OH MY GAWD!" Maka and Soul looked at each other and started eating quickly. I looked at them.

"What?" I tilted my head. "It was just a pink/ purple haired guy in a black dress with a black sword watching me fall."

"We met him."

"Met him?" I looked at them closely.

"Yeah.."

"What was he like?" I got curious. So that kid was real?

"He is crazy." Soul mumbled.

"Why would he be in my dream though right after that witch marked me?" I took a bite of my food.

"I don't know..." Soul said.

"There was a witch after you passed out on that mission Soul. She took those two with her." Stein said.

"Oh...there was?" Soul rubbed his head.

"So that must be the witch." Fade mumbled. I frowned.

"The witch took off with a meister and a weapon?"

"Yeah."

"I hope that's not why I'm marked..." I looked at the arrow on my forearm. Kid wrapped his arms around me.

"That witch better not take you from me."

"I'm giving the witch a nickname.....Medusa because of the snake that coiled around me when I was marked. Like the snake lady from Greek myths." Stein tensed up and gripped the couch. "What daddy?" I tilted my head. "It's just a nickname."

"Spirit let's go outside for a smoke." He got up and pulled Spirit outside.

"What's so wrong about giving a witch a nickname when you don't know their real name?" I asked the Death twins.

"I don't know." Fade shrugged.

"I don't get it, wait a minute...Nah I've got nothing." I looked at Kid.

"Maka?"

"What I didn't do anything." Maka complained.

"What did you do?" I asked her. When someone says that, always ask.

"N...nothing." Maka left the room.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" I stood up and followed my half sister.

"I DIDNT DO IT I SWEAR!"

"DO WHAT?"

"NOTHING!"

"Tell me what you are saying you didn't do!"

"I wouldn't know."

"I'm confused....." I walked back to the couch and sat in between Kid and Fade again.

"Wow...what just happened?" Fade asked.

"What?" I looked at her. "Nothing just happened."

"Well the party is still happening outside." Fade giggled and walked out the door. I got up and went to the kitchen getting a glass of my sugar tea and walked back to Kid and started sipping on it trying to get a sugar high to keep me up.

"Let's go outside and dance." Kid said as he got up. "It will keep you up for hours."

"What? Are you telling me I can get high on you? I don't think anyone can....." I giggled and put my tea down.

"No I didn't say that I swear."

"Oh ok. So why will it keep me up for hours then?"

"Because it just will."  Kid grabbed my hand and pulled me outside. I giggled and saw Black Star had gotten Fade to dance with him during the slow song that was playing. Thomas and Alexander were slow dancing with each other as well and Kyle was with Tsubaki, Dave was with Liz, Soul was with Maka, and Cori was standing on the side lines talking to Patti. Stein and Spirit were no where to be found. Kid grabbed me and walked me over to the slow dancers and we started slow dancing. I blushed and looked down at our feet hoping I wouldn't step on him. He lifted my head and looked me in the eyes. "Look into my eyes not my feet silly."

"O-ok....I just don't want to step on you."

"You wont, but if you do it will be fine." Just as he said that, I accidentally stepped on his foot as he was about to move it and knocked him of balance and we fell to the ground with me on top.

"Sorry...."

"It is fine, I still have my dignity..."

"Let's not jinx you...." I said quietly.

"Please don't."

"I wouldn't on purpose right now."

"Okay." He sat up and kissed me. I kissed him back gently and wrapped my arms around him instinctively. The slow music changed and he pulled away. I stood up and dusted myself off and held out my hand to him to help him up.

"Thanks." He grabbed my hand and got up. I smiled at him.

"You're welcome honey." I walked over to the porch and sat down on the stairs and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Fade's p.o.v.

The song ended and I pulled away from Black Star before he could kiss me and ran over to my laptop and speakers and cut on another song, one by New Kids On The Block. I giggled and picked Step By Step. I looked around to see what the guys would do, especially Kid, Black Star, and Soul. Soul looked at me and then at Maka, picked her up and went inside with her to his room probably and the other boys who had girls (this means every guy except Cori, Kid and Black Star) carried their girls inside leaving to go to their rooms with them. I giggled and then sat down by the fire. I was picked up from behind and was taken inside and whoever had me was taking me to a room with no one else in it. "AHHHHH! I'M BEING KIDNAPPED!" I brought my foot to whoever it was's guy area and he fell down bringing me with him. I saw a flash of black and white behind me and heard my brother groan.

"Why? Why did you hurt me Fade?" My eyes opened wide.

"OH MY GAWD I AM SO SORRY!" I looked down at him and hugged him. "Whoops."

"I think I deserved that though....I kinda am helping that crazy Star guy out by putting you in his room while he goes and gets a bag of cookies for you."

"YOUR DOING WHAT!" I stepped down on where I kicked him then ran outside quickly. And tripped over Noire on the stairs. I faceplanted the ground and curled up. "Owe...." Noire whimpered as she held the side I tripped on.

"Ow.....so hurt...." Kid stepped over her and picked me up and carried me bridal style into that room he tried to take me to before, dropped me on the floor ungracefully, and left locking the door behind him. I got up and looked around seeing this was a bedroom that had a window, the basement was half way built into the opening of a hill. I ran over to it and opened it. I looked around and then jumped out and landed in a pile of cacti and groaned out in pain. "AH PORKI PINE!" I crawled out of it and then actually landed on a porki pine and cried out in pain falling to the ground by it and curled up in pain and shook. I whimpered and started getting to my feet and the porki pine shot a few more quills into me. I whimpered and ran from it screaming as it chased me to stick me again. I ran into the woods and across the small creek and to a tree crawling up it. Wolves howled nearby and soon I saw Grey wolves jumping up the best they could up the tree trying to get to me, their muzzles snapping with vicious looking teeth. Some were drooling from the idea of fresh meat and many were growling. I screamed and then covered my mouth and took one of the quells out and threw it at them. That's when a flash of blue showed up and a wolf fell to the ground in pain and ran off whimpering. The one that ran off must have been the alpha because the rest followed it whining too. Black Star put his hands on his hips and stared after them.

"YEAH YOU BETTER RUN YOU BASTARD! NO ONE HURTS MY GIRL!"  I curled up on the branch and that's when the tree branch snapped and I fell to the ground. Black Star whipped around and caught me before I hit the ground and held me to him. "You're gonna be ok." He assured as he started walking us back to the cabin. I pulled out a quille and poked his shoulder with it.

"DO I LOOK OK?"

"No you look like hell. I'm going to get you some help though.....those quills are coming out."

"NOOOOOO! NO NO NO NO....PLEASE GOD NO!" I struggled in his arms. He didn't drop me and took me down to the room in the basement that Kid had put me in and set me down and pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed me to the bed and started taking the quills out. I whimpered in pain as he did. "OWEEEE! I hate the woods." I muttered.

"You're lucky the wolves didn't get you. If I was one minute late..."

"I can handle myself." I looked away.

"Says the girl who got quilled by a porki pine and fell into a cactus patch and climbed up a tree to escape wolves."

"You got that a bit off, I fell into the cactus patch first then onto the poor porki pine then got chased across a cold as river up a tree and then the wolves decended."

"Poor you. At least there wasn't a cougar.....or a skunk.....or a gryphon.....or Big Foot."

"I didn't know a big foot was dangerous."

"They'll eat your spaghettios." He joked.

"EWEEEE!" I pulled on the cuffs. "I don't want to see my poor poor spaghettios get eaten."

"Stop pulling on the cuffs before you cut yourself again. I'm not letting you out of them."

"Let me out, this isn't fair."

"I'm not done dequilling you." He pulled another one out.

"OWE! I AM GONNA SHOVE YOUR FACE INTO A CACTUS WHEN I GET FREE!"

"Why would you do that to the guy who saved you?" He smirked and pulled another one out quickly.

"Because I said so!" I whimpered and tried to get free.

"Sorry, but someone has to take them out." He took out another one. "Want me to get Noire to do it?"

"Ye- no let me go so I can do it myself." Black Star stood up and left then came back dragging Noire behind him.

"Noire, can you take out the quills for Fade?" He took her over to me and Noire look at me and laughed.

"HEY THERE PIN CUSHION! HOW ARE YOU?" Noire giggled.

"Please let me go.."

"Ok Pin Cushion." Noire smirked and tackled Black Star to the ground and stole the keys to the hand cuffs and stood up coming over to me.

"Thanks Noire!" Black Star grabbed her ankle and tripped her up and she fell to the ground and he took the keys from her and pulled out another set of handcuffs and put her next to me and handcuffed her to the headboard so she couldn't try anything again.

"NO! WHAT IS THIS?" Noire pulled on the handcuffs. "H-hey.....Black Star? Let me go? Pwease?" Noire tried a cute look on him but it failed.

"No." He said sternly. "You're staying there." Black Star got back in the bed and started dequilling me again. I tried to kick him and managed to knee him off the bed. Black Star stood up and tied my feet up then got back in the bed and started his work again. Noire quickly ninja kicked him in the face sending him into a wall.

"BACK. OFF. FROM. MY. FADE." Noire growled evilly. "Or you'll get it."

"Ouch, just hand over the keys." I pouted. "GIVE ME FREEDOM!"

"KID I NEED SOME HELP!" Black Star shouted when he sat up holding his head.

"Coming!" Kid walked in and laughed when he seen the situation. "What the hell happened in here? Why do you look like death sister?"

"Because she is Death." Noire said seriously.

"Wow." He walked over to Black Star. "You called."

"Can you help me dequill your sister? Or hold down Noire who is trying to kick me in the face to keep me away from Fade?" Kid looked over at Noire and I.

"You two behave." He walked over slowly. "Noire don't kick me or Black Star this is for Fade's own good."

"No one chains me up then touches my Fade!" Noire shouted at him and moved closer to me.

"If I let you go will you let us dequill Fade?"

"Maybe...." Noire said.

"Don't say yes Noire." I whined. Kid gave me a death glare. I looked away.

"I said maybe and I mean maybe." Noire said watching Kid. Kid leaned over and uncuffed her. Noire took the cuffs and grabbed one of Kid's wrists and chained him to the bed and then got the other wrist too and finished before someone could say 'nachos.' I watched and bit my bottom lip seeing Black Star tackle her to the ground. Noire lashed out and punched him in the face. "GET OFF." Noire stood up and kicked him in the no no's and took the key from him and walked over to me. Black Star grabbed her ankle and pulled her down then picked her up and threw her out into the hall and locked the door then walked over uncuffing Kid and he stood up and I widened my eyes in fear as Kid ran out the room and Black Star locked the door again behind him and put a dresser in front of the door. He looked over at me and I gasped. He climbed back onto the bed and started pulling out the quills and I cried out in pain again.

"Oweeeee! Why Black Star, why?" I whimpered and gripped the cuffs trying not to pull on them and cut myself. He managed to pull everyone of them out taking his time to do so. When he finished he smirked at his achievement.

"You learn not to jump out windows to escape me yet?"

"Nope not at all." I bit my bottom lip. "I think I never will."

"Well that's too bad because I'm not letting you out of the handcuffs now." He laughed and laid down next to me.

"Noooo come on now, I don't want to be stuck in here with you."

"Well...that's mean."

"YOUR THE WHOLE REASON I JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW!" Black Star started snoring. I clenched my jaw. "DONT YOU DARE FALL ASLEEP ON ME!" He rolled over onto me and buried his face into my neck.

"Night sweetie...."

"NOOO DONT SAY THAT! I WASNT SUPPOSED TO FALL ASLEEP IN HERE!"

"Night my goddess." He laughed and relaxed on top of me getting ready to sleep on me.

"Fine, go to sleep."

"I knew you would agree."

"Shhhh." I smirked and watched him. Black Star looked me in the eyes then shrugged buring his face into my neck again and went to sleep. I took out the bobby pin in my hair I finally got smart. I uncuffed myself quickly and slowly cuffed him to the bed. Getting pretty smart, I know. I sat up and put the bobby pin in my pocket then untied my ankles and got up. I uncuffed him and then walked out holding the cuffs with an evil idea. I walked upstairs to the boy room and cuffed Alexander to the bunk bed and then walked out the door. I went outside collecting my laptop and speakers then went inside putting it on the couch and went to the boy's room, playing it smart and crawled into Kid's bunk. SOOOOO SMART, I KNOW. I closed my eyes and curled up smiling but before I fell asleep the door creaked open so I sat up and looked to see it was Thomas. He walked over and sat down on my bed.

*Warning for the poor, poor Blade fans/ shippers, you will end up despising the hell out of Thomas in a second - Jaimeelizabeth11*

*GoldenRose16- SHIPPERS?!? Where?!? (takes off running) STAY AWAY!*

"Why'd you cuff Alexi?" I blushed.

"Oh...uh.. getting him back for something." I shrugged. He smirked.

"So why are you in Kid's bed?" My jaw dropped.

"Well, I figure people would leave me alone so I could sleep. People like Black Star."

"Yeah, uh....why would you run from him he is you boy-"

"No he isn't, he just says he is." I shrugged.

"OHHHH! That explains a lot. So your single?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "I've been single."

"Then that means I could do this." He leaned in kissing me and I gasped. Wow, wait what...what..the hell.. am I dreaming...desire help me out here. I watched him pull away and I blushed. Why did it feels so wrong but also right? I scooted over in the bed and Thomas laid down pulling me close to him and I blushed. "How was that?"

"HOW ABOUT YOU TWO GET A ROOM." Soul threw a pillow at us and turned over and I blushed. Maka smacked Soul.

"Shut up and leave the poor girl alone Soul." She looked at me and smiled then laid back down next to Soul. I hid my face and giggled as Thomas started to chuckle. He picked me up suddenly and I widened my eyes as he carried me out the room. He carried me out and down to the other rooms and I had my life flash before my eyes. He took  me into a room with two twin sized beds and closed the door locking it behind him and laid me down on the bed.

"Fade?"

"Mhmm?" He kissed me deeply as he got on top of me and started to lift my shirt up a bit but I grabbed his hand and stopped him. Where the hell does he plan to take this? We are not even together...

"I love you." He whispered and made my heart melt. Wow what was that?  He started to lift my shirt up and kissed me deeper.

Noire's p.o.v. (backed up to hall dump)

I gasped as Black Star locked the door after dumping me in the hallway floor. A few seconds later Kid walked out and looked at me and smirked. I got to my feet and took off running down the hall. "I TOTALLY DID NOT CHAIN YOU UP!"

"GET BACK HERE NOIRE!" He yelled and chased me down the hall. I stopped and stepped to the side and stuck my foot out tripping up Kid. He faceplanted the ground then looked up at me and grabbed my foot.

"EEEEEEK! HE'S GOT MEH!" I tried to take my foot back.

"NO YOU DONT!" He pulled me down to him and smirked. I gasped and struggled to get up.

"Let me go! I'll even say sorry!"

"Never!" He picked me up and carried me over to a room and walked in and put me down on the queen sized bed. I sat up quickly and stood up getting ready to bolt out of the room. He locked the door and then put a dresser in front of it and walked over to me and smirked picking me up and laid me down on the bed again and got on top of me.

"This isn't funny. Stop before you get hurt." I whined and tried to push him off of me. He kissed  me deeply and hugged me tightly.

"No way, mine."

"H-hey.....Kid? Please?" I struggled to sit up.

"What, you don't want to kiss me?" He tilted his head and pouted. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes laying back down.  "You ok?" He laid down by me.

"Yeah....I'm fine....you won't do anything and I know it." I opened my eyes and smiled at him turning onto my side to look at him.

"You sure?" He smirked and then pulled me close.

"Yeah, I'm sure." I giggled and curled up to him.

"I love you cutie."

"Love you too even though you scare me sometimes." I kissed his cheek and stretched out.

"How about we take a nap together?'

"NO!" I stood up quickly and hugged myself shaking my head.

"Okai sweetie calm down, we could watch movies together instead."

"O-ok..." I climbed back in bed and looked at him. Thanks for understanding if you did. He turned on the tv for us and smiled at me. "What? Why are you smiling at me?" I looked at him confused. What did I do to get a smile?

"Oh nothing, your just so beautiful."

"Oh ok." I gave him a quick kiss and laid down putting my hands underneath my head. He put on guardians of the galaxy then gave me a kiss back. I gasped and sat up. "No, I'm supposed to be the one giving the last kiss here." I gave him a kiss and laid back down. He kissed me again and chuckled. I glared at him and got into his lap and kissed him gently then got off and laid down again. He laughed and curled up to me. I giggled and looked at the TV watching the movie start. After the movie ended (we watched it in silence.....so awkward....) I looked at him wondering if he was gonna put on another movie or not. He was halfway asleep in bed and drooling. "Ew...." I quietly crawled out of bed and went to the door sliding the dresser out from in front of it. Kid grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him and smirked.

"Where ya going?"

"I have to pee." I said innocently.

"Oh okay." He let me go.

"Unlock the door?" I looked at him.

"Sure." He unlocked it. I smiled at him and walked out of the room and calmly walked to the stairs going up them and then broke into a run to the living room. He tackled me to the ground and faced me to him.  "Liar!"

"H-huh? Who said I was lying? I don't even know where the bathroom is."

"Why didn't you ask?"

"Because I thought I would try not to look stupid and go on a bathroom hunt." I said quietly.

"Your so weird, oh well." He let me go as he stood up and walked over to the couch and sat down. I stood up. Dang it....he totally caught me red handed....I need to make sure he doesn't find out he did.

"Yeah..." I rubbed the back of my neck and walked over to where I know the bathroom is and went in shutting the door behind me and locked it going to the window and opened it looking down to the bottom checking because of Fade. A nice lovely patch of cacti waited. I took in a deep breath and closed the window and paced back and forth. How to get away from him..... I walked back out of the bathroom and looked at the couch to check for him but he wasn't there anymore. I snuck over to the front door to go outside quietly in case he was coming back and opened the door. He grabbed me and pulled me back inside. He carried me down to the bedroom and laid me back down in bed and then locked the door. "Thanks Kid for helping me back down here." I smiled innocently at him.

"Your welcome." He smirked and crawled back into bed with me.

"And for letting me use the bathroom." I added.

"No problem." He smirked and curled up to me. I sighed and laid down all the way and wrapped my arms around him. "Good girl." He joked and hugged me tightly.

"Uh huh....." I mumbled and watched him. He turned on another movie called Forest Gump. I pretended to watch the movie with him while I watched him instead trying to determine if he was actually tired or just messing with me. He almost fell asleep many times through the movie but stayed awake. When the movie ended, I took the remote from him and put on King Kong to try to get him to pass out and watched him some more out of the corner of my eye. Towards the end he snapped and passed out leaning his head on my arm. He's so tired.....Poor Kid.... I turned off the TV and looked at him and slowly moved him into a laying down position and covered him up and very, very slowly crawled out of bed watching him the whole time for any signs of consciousness.

"Noire." He mumbled. I froze in my tracks and looked at him. "Where ya going?"

"Nowhere." I stopped trying to crawl out of bed and crawled back to him. He smiled and curled up to me. Guess I'm not going upstairs.....Man he's a light sleeper..... I laid down all the way and got under the covers and wrapped my arms around him pulling him closer to me. He yawned and smiled.

"Nighty night Noire."

"See ya when you wake up Kid." I mumbled and watched him. He fell back into a deep slumber. I slowly took my arms back and scooted away to leave him alone in bed deciding I wasn't going to sleep with the possibility of another James nightmare. I got out of bed without disturbing too much and went to the door to unlock it with a bobby pin and wander around the house instead of staying in the bed where I might be tempted to sleep. The door lock clicked and I smiled in satisfaction. That's when the temperature in the room dropped. He got out of bed and grabbed my hand.

"Noire?" He asked with the most childish cute voice ever that sounded sleepy. I smiled at him and pulled him into a hug backing him against the bed and pushed him into it.

"Go to sleep ok? You're very tired and you're being very cute." I giggled and watched him.

"Come to bed with me."

"Uh..." Did not see this coming... "O-ok...." I climbed into the bed. He curled up to me once again and hugged me.

"Leave me again and your gonna regret it." He threatened in a toddler voice. I froze and stared at him. This is why you don't date boys who got everything they wanted as a child...

"O-ok....." I shivered a little. He smirked and closed his eyes to sleep again. I watched him and waited an hour after he passed out and shifted to see if he would wake up. When he didn't move, I looked nervously to the door that I unlocked a while ago and back at him and slowly moved to the edge of the bed and looked at him. He didn't move and I looked to the door and slowly put my feet on the floor and stood up then checked on him. Still asleep. I smiled and tip toed over to the door and turned the door knob. He got out of bed quickly and walked over to me and grabbed me picking me up and threw me over his shoulder then locked the door and went back to the bed and took out a pair of handcuffs in his pocket and laid me down and handcuffed me to him. I whimpered and tugged on them and looked up at him. "What's this?"

"Handcuffs." He laughed and then got in bed and curled up to me from behind and wrapped his arms around me.

"Dang it....." I muttered and fiddled with it trying to figure out how to unlock it after he passes out again.

"Now, please don't leave me again?" He asked and yawned.

"Fine." I pulled out my bobby pin out of my pocket and handed it to him upset. He tossed it across the room and smiled.

"Thank you."

"Whatever." I sighed and got comfier knowing I was going to be here for a long time.

"Good night sweetie." He closed his eyes.

"Night scary toddler." I smirked and watched him fall asleep. I closed my eyes to blink, but that's when I fell asleep.

I stretched walking through the streets of an abandoned city. The sky was blue and beautiful and the sun wasn't scorching hot like it was in the desert. The buildings were overgrown with vines on them and ivy and grass grew up in between the cracks of the side walk I was on. Nice day for a lovely stroll through this abandoned town.... I sighed. This isn't my favorite dreamscape.....I really like the fairy garden and the flower field but that's not what my brain picked tonight...WAIT....I'M ASLEEP! AHHHHH! NO! NOT AGAIN! I looked around for any signs that I had been found out by my dream stalker. Nothing. Ok.....maybe he went to sleep instead of dream watching me.....good, maybe I can get a good night's sleep. I laughed and kept walking down the street picking up a pebble and threw it up and down catching it each time. As I looked around I seen shadows growing as the sun shifted in the sky fast turning to  night. The shadows flickered towards me. "Huh?....." I stared at them and it dawned on me. "NOT AGAIN!" I took off running down the street and glanced behind me in case I was right and this wasn't my doing. It definitely had James written all over it, he stood in the street watching me run and had a smirk on his face. I quickly looked in front of me and sped up taking a turn down an alley and conjured up a knife in case he popped up anywhere. Adrian stood at the end of the ally and watched me running towards him with a knife and screamed running away. "WHY DO I HAVE TO GET RID OF YOU EVERYTIME I GO TO SLEEP!" I shouted at him.

"DONT GET RID OF ME! I WILL STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY I PROMISE! JAMES HELP ME! SHE IS SCARY!"

"THEN GET OUT OF MY WAY SO I C- Oh wait....this is good." I got rid of the knife and looked at him. "He won't torture me with you around."

"I'm not here." He hid behind a pole.

"I still see you and James isn't stupid. He probably knows you're here already."

"Yes I do." James said and walked up.

"HI JAMES!" Adrian ran over to James and hopped onto his back. "Piggy back ride now!" I snapped my fingers and instantly turned him into a black kitty again. He dropped to the ground and then started licking his paws and James looked down at him.

"There, a gift. You can have the Adrian Kitty." I started walking the opposite direction.

"Not so fast, get back here I am not finished with you!"

"Go on a date with the kitty." I waved it off and kept walking. James caught up to me with Adrian in his arms and was petting him.

"I will go on a date with- OWE!" Adrian had bit James and James dropped him. I snapped my fingers turning Adrian into a caterpillar.

"DON'T BITE PEOPLE." I glared at him on James's arm.

"Why a caterpillar?" He asked.

"Because they are harmless. Especially the species I turned you into."

"I am not harmless to leaves, hmmm put me on one James." James took him over to a leaf and let him on it.

"You two are perfect for each other. Have fun with your pet caterpillar." I started walking away again.

"COME BACK AND TURN ME SO I CAN BITE JAMESY POO!" I sighed and turned him into a big dog not even looking at him.

"Tear his throat out ok?"

"I was hoping to become a kitty."

"Fine." I turned him back into a black kitty.

"Yay look at me!" He ran past me and was chasing a leaf in the wind.

"Knock yourself out." I muttered.

"Hey, can you send him away so I can make this a nightmare?" James asked.

"Why? I'm having to much fun with the two guys who killed my mom. It's already a nightmare." I looked at him.

"Then let's have more fun! Who wants to go get ice cream!" James yelled.

"MINT AND CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM HERE I COME!" I giggled and conjured up a bowl just for me and sat down on the side walk and started eating it. James gave a bowl to Adrian that had cookies n cream in it and then sat down with mint and chocolate chip ice cream as well. "Why does Adrian get ice cream? He's a cat." I looked at him.

"Cats like ice cream to." Adrian said and started eating it. "Ow my teeth cold but delicious!" I turned him human so he could enjoy his ice cream more.

"Only until you finish." I informed him.

"Thanks." He started eating his after stealing a spoon from James.

"I told on both of you to Kid." I smirked.

"Good for you." Adrian said and looked at James. "Bad for you."

"Yeah.....when we met outside of my dreams, you're so dead." I looked at him.

"Well I knew that would happen." James shrugged.

"Oh? You're planning your funeral right?" I smiled at him. "Don't worry. I'll eat your soul so you can be with Carrot Dummy over here."

"Hey!" Adrian looked up at me and pouted. "I thought it was carrot head...How is Fade?"

"Absolutely not yours." I muttered. "She is Black Star's."

"Black Stars..." Adrian muttered.

"The blue headed guy." James said. "You've been dead to long."

"Adrian met Black Star. They played together at the beach during the water gun war and that was the day I ate him." I took a bite of my ice cream.

"HEY! I have to admit, I was a really good babysitter." Adrian said nodding as he shoved ice cream into his mouth.

"No you weren't." I stared at him.

"HAHAHAHAAAAAA Kids these days." I heard from behind and Adrian froze up and paled.

"Ewe not that guy." I looked over my shoulder and saw that Kishin I ate recently.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I got rid of him quickly. "WHAT THE HELL WORLD! YOU HAD TO BRING HIM BACK TOO! YOU JUST HAD TOO!" I stood up and kicked a mail box nearby and stubbed my toe. "OWWWWWWW, OW, OW, OW!" I sat down and held my foot.

"Ha. That is the girl that ate you?" James asked Adrian. I stood up and went over to James and bite his shoulder gently.

"And I'll eat you too."

"AHHHHHHHH!" He leaned away. "VAMPIRE! RUN ADRIAN SAVE YOURSELF!"

"No you don't." I turned Adrian into a slug and pushed James onto his back and sat on him. "Prepare to die."

"HOLLY COW!" James laughed and watched me. "No you wont kill me." I raised an eyebrow and conjured a knife and held it against his throat.

"What about now?"

"Do it." He smirked.

"Ok. Won't faze me none." I smirked and slit his throat quickly and then stabbed his stomach and ripped the knife out and stabbed his arm. Then I conjured lemon juice and dumped it on his throat, stomach, and arm to get back at him and stood up watching my work. He stood up and started healing not being fazed.

"I am a nightmare Noire." He told me.

"And nightmares have nightmares about their nightmares. Who's your nightmare?"

"Hmmm... Adrian." He smirked.

"I'm not falling for that. You want him to turn human instead of being a slug." I looked at Adrian who didn't have any shade from the sun on the hot sidewalk.  James walked over to Adrian and then picked him up and turned him into a butterfly. "WHAT? YOU CAN DO IT TOO?" I stared at the Adrian butterfly.

"Yeah, it is just like this..." He grabbed a stick and turned it into a sword.

"Put the sword down. Before you hurt yourself." I held up my hands.

"It's just a stick Noire." He dropped it and as it landed it turned back into a stick.

"Only works when you are holding it?"

"Sometimes." He let Adrian go and Adrian fell turning into a slug. I quickly turned him into a cat so he wouldn't get too hurt falling.

"I'm going to guess you can't get rid of Adrian then." I smirked.

"If I could I wouldn't want to."

"Oh? Bye Adrian! He wants you here so bye bye." I smiled at the cat.

"WHAT! BUT I HAVE YET TO CATCH A CRICKET IN THIS FORM!"

"Hurry up then." I stared at him.

"James don't let her send me away."

"Oh well. He has no control over me." I giggled. "He can't even keep me in this dream forever if he wanted."

"Said who?" James looked at me.

"Said Dr. Stein. He said that the witch you teamed up with probably isn't strong enough to be able to do that."

"Oh really?" He thought it over. "Maybe I should get a new client then."

"I nicknamed her Medusa." I giggled. "Please don't go and get a new witch. Just ditch Medusa and stop invading my dreams."

"Wow..." He trialed off and then backed up. "She is weird."

"Your witch marked me too." I pulled up my sleeve to reveal the arrow.

"Wow you got one to!" He chuckled and then walked off and Adrian disappeared. I got rid of Adrian deciding that if he was going to leave my sight, he could just go. "So it is just us now." James turned quickly and then took out a gun from in his pocket. "Ever been shot by one of these?"

"Does Kid's twin pistols count?" I asked nervously and backed away a little.

"Nope." He fired the gun at me sideways. I slowed down time in the dream and did a Matrix motion dodging the bullet and stood up speeding time back to normal.

"HAH! MISSED!" I ran across the street away from him.

"How are you getting smart now in this nightmare? Get over here." He chased after me and shot at me. I stopped and turned around.

"Just don't hurt me ok?" I winced looking at the gun in his hand.

"Well what is the fun of this is I cant hurt you. It's not like you will die."

"I've got Kid sleeping right next to me. I wouldn't do anything if I were you. He'll wake me out of this."

"No thanks, I want to do stuff to you." He dropped the gun and pulled out a knife and started walking over towards me.

"NO STAY BACK!" I threw a rock at him and took off running conjuring up a bow and a quiver full of arrows smiling when I saw the bow looked like my form and whipped around drawing an arrow and shot it at him hitting his shoulder.

"HEY YOU HIT ME!" He pouted and then looked at his wound then an shield appeared in his hand and he hid behind it. I slipped my bow over my head and conjured up a heavy artillery gun and started shooting at him. He laughed and then ran off down an ally dodging the bullets. I got rid of the gun and conjured a sniper rifle and ran into one of the office building going to the stairs and climbed up to the fourth floor and busted out a window overlooking the street and set up a nice sniper spot for me barricading the door and stuff and set up the gun and looked for him to come back. Adrian appeared and looked out the window.

"What's up?" He asked me and was in kitty form.

"Shooting James." I whispered. "The prey became the hunter and he took off running."

"Hey, look I think I see him." Adrian flicked his tail getting excited. I looked the way he flicked and pointed my rifle that way and searched first. It was just a hound dog. I shouldered the gun and looked down the scope aiming at it and shot it guessing it was one of James's. I watched the dog fall to the ground and stared at it and closed my eyes for a moment then went back to watching for James. There started to be a few dark figures coming through the city and when they got closer they started to look like zombies. You've got to be kidding me James. This isn't Call of Duty Zombies. I shot them one by one and took down most of them and conjured more rounds for me and looked at Adrian.

"James has some serious problems." Adrian chuckled.

"He is only crazy for me."

"Wanna team up against the zombies? I'll turn you human and give you a gun....."

"No I want to see how this plays out...I wonder where James is.."

"I don't know....." I took down another zombie and then saw a zombie Fade. I stared at it in horror. "That is so messed up."

"Don't shoot her!" Adrian jumped in front of the gun quickly. I pulled the gun back quickly not wanting to shot him.

"I wasn't going to....She's my meister." I looked at him and then looked past him at zombie Fade shuffling down the street in her PJ's.

"Wow...James is really messed up." Adrian mumbled and then jumped out the window. I turned him into a bird and looked out the window quickly after him.

"ADRIAN!"

"I am ok, I will be back soon."

"DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALONE!" I felt tears roll down my cheek. He came back and rested on the gun.

"Fine, I will slap James later."

"Oh....is that what you were going to do?" I summoned two walkie talkies and set his on the table next to me and turned him into a falcon this time. "Take the walkie talkie with you and tell me when you find him and I'll turn you human from here so you can slap him for me."

"Deal. This wont take long." He promised me. I smiled at him deciding to trust him and nodded. He flew out the window quickly. I took down a few more zombies in the street ignoring zombie Fade and watched her reaction to me shooting her buddies around her. She dropped her jaw as she watched them fall and looked around dumbfounded. I shot another zombie that was two inches from her and laughed at the zombie Fade. She took off running down the street.

"BYE HONEY!" I shouted after her and took out all of the zombies but her. James appeared behind me and breathed down on my neck as he took my gun and flung it out the window. Adrian flew in.

"Found hi- oh hi Noire."

"NO!" I pulled the knife out from my belt and stabbed James driving the knife in to the hilt of it. He groaned and stepped back grabbing one of my arrows and then stabbed me with it. I screamed in pain and fell to the ground and broke the arrow and pulled it out. "DAMN IT!" I held my wound and looked at James.

"Hi sunshine." He smirked. "I am taking control back now even if junior over there is here." He nodded towards Adrian. My eyes widened when I realized that Adrian being here wasn't going to save me anymore and stood up backing to the window. "Where ya going?" He asked and backed me up to it as well. "I have plans for you."

"I'd die first!" I turned and jumped out the window closing my eyes and transformed into a weapon and hit the ground. I untransformed and stood up looking around me. I was standing in the maze again where I last was at. Adrian appeared and looked around.

"Not this again."

"Nooooo!" I fell to my knees and hugged myself.

"Come on Noire let's go while we can!" Adrian sat down in front of me. I turned him back into a black kitty and stood up.

"Mkay."

"Ohhh! Turn me into a black panther." I giggled and granted his wish. "I swear, if you was my genie I would be way over three wishes by now." He joked.

"Yes, you would." I started walking. "Are you going to protect me if the wolves show up again. Last time there were tons of them all over the place." He got in front of me and shifted his weight and acted like he was about to pounce as he looked forward. I looked up to see what he was gonna pounce on. He pounced towards the wall real quick and disappeared, going through a secret passage. I followed my protector and looked around me. The passage went over to the other side of the wall and Adrian was catching a mouse. "A panther.....catching a mouse.....I'VE SEEN IT ALL." I laughed. "So the Goblin King wants to play secret passages? Ok....I'll play this game for now.....Adrian?"

"What?" He asked and looked at me as he held the very much alive mouse in his mouth.

"When the wolves descend, are you gonna help me or should I get you in a better form to flee?"

"I could scare them with my roar!" He sat down and dropped the mouse and let out a roar. I giggled.

"You're gonna be a mighty king." I rested my hand on his head.

"That's what I thought." He laughed.

"Ok Adrian....Let's keep moving before the Goblin King gets bored." I smiled sweetly at him and walked past him.

"We cant have that." He followed beside me.

"Yeah.....Wonder when Kid will wake me up....." I continued through the maze with Adrian by my side.
