Alice came back after a few moments and had a pale look on her face. She whispered something to Ayasha and then Ayasha just nodded and she left again. Then Ayasha whispered to Dwayne and he nodded too and he looked tensed up too. Then Ayasha turned to me and again went on calming me down.

"What did Alice say?"

"Nothing Diana."

I get up from my seat and start walking towards the exit. Ayasha tries to stop me but her heels would be stopping her. I was sure of that. Where was Xander? Why did he just leave me? Why did he break my heart? I could feel tears stinging my eyes. I just wanted to ask Xander about him leaving me so suddenly. But then, while leaving, I met Calvin. He was leaning against a wall. I hadn't noticed him till he had spoken.

"I told you, I am better than that low life person. He is not even a human or a person. He is a monster." He said. Great. Now I had to deal with him too. 

"Just shut up Calvin I don't have time for this. I had enough." I said walking away from him and ending the conversation there.

"Suit yourself sweetheart." He said. Ew. So cheesy.

I just leave with an uneasy look on my face form his cheesy line. I started walking again but just stopped again. I had no idea where he or Alice was. I could still see his car in the parking. So he didn't leave with his car or something. The only place he could have went to was the forest which was on the left of the dance hall. It was a really creepy place to go at night but he was a vampire. Who was sitting kidding?

I start walking towards the forest with no other way. I didn't even think about finding my way back. But I had a feeling that Xander had to be nearby. He had to be. He couldn't leave me like that. I know he loves me. I loved him. Why did he leave me? 

I drop on my knees and start crying on the cold, damp forest ground. And then suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jump form the sudden touch and look up to see who it was. 

Xander.

He was standing beside me, with him one hand on my shoulder. He was in his vampire form I suppose. He had red eyes, his fangs showing out of his mouth. I ahd his attention but he didn't have mine. He wasn't looking at me at all. Instead he had his gaze fixed straight. And after all that time, I look up and see nothing. Oh god, was he going insane and seeing things?

"No, I am not going insane. Listen, someone is here and I want you to go back." Xander said but still not looking at me.

"No! Tell me, what is wrong?"

"Please Diana, please leave the forest. I promise, I won't die. But you can die here. And I would never want that." He said finally looking at me. He then knelt done to get at my level and held my hands and helped me to get up.

"No Xander. It is either me with you or no one."

"Fine. Just please don't die."

He did relectuntaly agree but that wad enough for me to be happy. I got up from the forest ground and we started walking. In complete silence. He wasn't talking at all. He loved to chat with me but he wasn't talking with me now. Did I get boring? I wanted to ask him but something distracted me. We were out of the forest. The trees had disappeared and now it was a clear night sky with the moon glowing in the dark night sky with the stars.

The forest covered with trees had disappeared and nothing but plain grass laid on the floor. The trees weren't hiding us or the person lurking in the shadows. There stood a person in front of us who seemed to be holding a gun. He looked like a shadow and not getting illuminated from the moonlight. But I guess this was the person Xander was looking out for because he looked angrier than he was.
