I stared at Hayden angrily as he glanced around at everyone on the set, obviously confused.

"Well... I was walking through here and I saw this blue haired guy pointing a gun at you so, naturally I came over..." He said placing his hand on the back of his head. I rolled my eyes and snatched the gun from Kyoni's hand. I pointed it at him and pulled the trigger, watching his jump back as nothing happened.

"It's fake, idiot. We're shooting a movie." I said as I dropped the gun to the floor. Kyoni took a step towards me and leaned in slightly.

"Is this guy stalking you?" He asked, I could tell there was some hostility in his voice and I shook my head. Blake stood up as he threw the script on the ground and stepped on it roughly.

"Could anything else go wrong today?" He grumbled angrily. He threw his hands up in the air silently and closed his eyes, though I wasnt sure if he was trying to compose himself or if he was praying. I glanced over at Issi and Hunter who were staring at Hayden with an annoyed look on their face.

"Hey! How was I supposed to know? I'm new in these parts, alright?" He said defensively. I sighed and nodded my head slowly.

"Yeah, we know." I said slowly. Kyoni glanced at me with an are-you-really-taking-his-side look on his face and I replied with an apologetic one. He rolled his eyes in response and walked away, unclipping his ponytail as he went.

"Okay, okay. We are DONE for the day, everyone just... Leave." Blake ordered throwing his hands around as the camera crew quickly began packing up. I silently stared at Hayden while everyone packed up and waited until we were the only ones there, even Kyoni had gone, probably angry with me. I sighed as I walked towards Hayden.

"Okay look, be serious right now. Are you stalking me?" I asked already knowing he was going to say no, why would you admit to stalking someone?

"Yes." He said simply. I opened my mouth to speak but closed it again and tilted my head slightly, not expecting his answer.

"O...okay... why?" I asked. He stepped forward until he was close enough to touch and reached down to grab my hand. A sense of dread washed over me as I pulled my hand away before he could touch it and stepped back.

"I already told you, I think you're really pretty." He said. I glanced away.

"What species are you?" I asked. He opened his mouth a little as if he didnt know what to say.

"Yeah, I know you're not human, so tell me what you are." I said. He turned away as if he didnt want me to see his face but I glimpsed fear in his eyes.

"Im... a..." He paused, not willing to answer but as I put my hands on my hips he held up his hands, giving in.

"And why did you try to grab my hand?" I asked taking another step back.

"I... am a reaper, okay? We can see every memory a person has by touching their hand, I just wanted to know more about you." He explained. I rolled my eyes, somehow I didnt quite believe him. I smiled slightly as I thought of someone who could get true information out of him.

"Come with me." I said as I reached out to grab his suit vest and pulled him along behind me. He stumbled a little bit but didnt ask many questions as we walked. As we reached my house I felt Hayden tense up a bit and I wondered if he could feel the presence of Tear. As if on cue Tear threw open the door and stared down Hayden.

"How dare you bring that scum here." Tear growled angrily.
