It's been too long, did ya miss me? -Ozzie

"And no matter what my feelings linger"

I left the table, walking outside into the brisk autumn breeze. I didn't really know where I wanted to go only that I wanted to be somewhere else. I guess the car was my best option at this point. Calum left with me which I didn't mind all that much at first.

About two minutes later I heard slow footsteps behind us, naturally I turned to see who was behind us. The figure was following us closely, that in itself didn't bother me so much...but after many turns and blocks when he was still following us did I begin to worry. I gazed over to calum who seemed oblivious.

Of course then I picked up my pace which caught calum's attentions, "hey, why ya walking so fast?"

"I-can you take me downtown? I know my way from there."

He looked at me with confusion at my sudden change of tone, "Sure thing?"

He took a harsh left turn holding my hand gently. It was a dark alleyway and I couldn't see all that well. As I began to question him he spoke, "it's a shortcut-relax Maisy."

As if I was gonna go down this creepy deserted little alley," no it's okay, I'm not really in a rush."

As I turned I saw two figures, I couldn't see their faces because of the mask they wore but they certainly weren't walking towards us for small talk and tea. Calum stood in front of me protectively. The two men approached him quickly. A swift punch from one landed him to the ground.

I took off down the alley away from the men screaming for help, as I turned down the corner a pair of arms embraced me, I let out a muffled sob of relief.

When I looked up I saw a man in an identical mask, I let out Yelp, "no, please someone help!"

A cloth was placed over my mouth and I knew exactly what he was trying to do. I struggled trying not to breathe in the harsh chemicals. His grip was tight and I realized my actions were very futile.

I thought I saw a figure approaching to help but my vision was failing me, it always failed me when I needed it most.

"Hey! what are you doing to her!" Screamed a man, and God did his voice sound familiar.

As two more figures started running towards me to help my vision darkened until their was nothing but a black pit of nothingness.

All the images were blurry but one thing was clear, and that was Harry. He was kissing my hand and fingers gently. Whispering in my ear, he seemed so relieved.

He was comforting me, his hands wound in my hair and his soft lips pressed against mine- they lingered. "What happened?"

"I lost you."

"What do you mean?"

He went to open his mouth but a a loud ruckus shook the room. He took off leaving me behind, I didn't understand.

I had always thought he would stay with me until the end of time, that he would always be there to protect me....but I was wrong, so terribly wrong. I woke up to sound of yelling and loud bangs.
