"You're a fast one." he said softly, walking towards her. Susan turned slightly so she could keep him in her sight. He noticed and grinned, causing her to shudder on the inside.

"What, you thought that since I am a girl that I won't be able to move as fast as a boy does?"She asked. Suddenly, when Susan looked at Jason, she got a feeling of fear so strong, a tremor passed through her body that she couldn't hide. Jason's smile got wider. "Scared?"He asked, taking a step closer to her, "I thought a leader as powerful as yours shouldn't be scared."

"Who said I was scared?" Susan asked, putting an icy tone to her voice so it wouldn't shake, "I'm just cold. I have better places to be other then here talking to you." she glanced back at the forest. That was a mistake, because in doing so, she took her attention off of Jason. "Really?" he asked, his voice coming from right beside her ear. Turning back to him, she gasped and took a step back.

Jason reached for her arm but Susan jerked away and went for the dagger she had picked for her weapon. Unconsciously, she pulled back the jewel and dumped the silver dagger in her other hand. "Don't touch me." Susan whispered, not trusting her voice at a higher level for fear it might break, "I'm not afraid to stab you."

Jason just smiled and seemed to disappear. Feeling his hands around her wrists, Susan gasped, almost losing her grasp on the daggers. "You can't slap me if you can't reach me." Jason whispered, his hot breath tingling her neck. He leaned down and kissed the collar of her shirt, then pulled back and laughed softly. "You smell so good. I wonder how you taste." Susan tensed as his words sank in. She had never believed in what her mind was telling her, but now, after all that had happened, she was rethinking her beliefs. Susan laughed, realizing how impossible it should be.

"What's wrong?" Susan asked through her teeth, "Too scared to kill me?" Jason twisted her wrists again, making her drop the daggers. Letting go of her wrists, Jason picked up the daggers, put them back together, and slid it into his pocket.  Finally contempt that she held no threat over him, he looked at her again. His eyes stared into hers, as if they were looking straight into her soul.

"I don't kill someone without knowing the name of my victim." Jason said, "You never told me your name."

 Susan smiled, "And I'm never going to." she said, "Very little people know my name. You will not be one of them." Jason's eyes flashed black. "What shall I call you then?" he asked calmly.

"Whatever you want." she said, "I'm rarely called by my name anyways. Just my nicknames, which is another thing you're not going to find out." Jason looked at her, a smile creeping onto his face. Using his abnormal speed, he was by her side in moments, one arm wrapped around hers and the other tipping her head up until her throat was exposed. "Want to bet?" he asked. He leaned down and bit her. Well, that's what it felt like until Susan realized the pain was all in her head, and his lips never even touched her neck. He let go of her, causing her to tumble forward. Susan spun around to face him and almost lost her balance. He caught her before she could fall.

"Why do you need to know my name," Susan asked, confused, "If you're just going to kill me?"

"That's for me to know." Jason said, then let go, leaving something in her hands. This time, she found her balance and looked at the object. It was the dagger. "It loses the fun of it if I don't know the name of who I kill." He turned suddenly and ran back towards the forest. He stopped when he got the edge of the clearing.

"Your gang is in the forest about a mile to the right, by the old mill. They shouldn't be hurt much. They also shouldn't remember anything." He smiled, "Goodbye."Then he turned and ran into the forest. Before he disappeared completely from her view though, she heard his voice in her head say eight words.    ~I will see you soon Susan, very soon. ~
