Chad has his hands behind his back tied with rope as they walk down the streets. A girl that is bright green stares at me with saddened eyes. She walks over to me. I stare at her with my black eyes.
"H e l p  m e." She says slowly. Silent little moans coming out of her mouth.
I say nothing. Bella turns and looks to me. I hold out my hand she hesitates for a second then takes it desperately. She closes her eyes letting the light come in. Slowly she fades in and out. Over and over again. I close my eyes and let her restless spirit slowly be devoured by light. No long showing her figure only a small circle of fiery light. She slowly drifts off into the clouds. Bella watches as it flies up like a balloon. She then looks down, but I have vanished. She sighs and continues forward.

They enter the hotel. Sneaking past the front desk into an open room. Chad knocks out the maid cleaning the room for guests to come. He places her in the hallway erasing the memory of them even being seen. Also the memory of needing to go in there. Already taken care of. They take the key card for the room and lock it.

Chad focuses on his magic. Listening to the voices of pure power. He breathes it in. Smiling, he breathes out.
He opens his eyes. I stand before him. My dead black hair hanging down covering half my face. How I have worn it for the years I have been a restless spirit.
"My little beauty." He welcomes.
The pain of death takes over you. It will make you suffer, are you sure you want this Marin?
I bow my head down.
"Something wrong?"
"It is nothing." I drift away. I have business with this magic user, but the state of being I am in...I cannot.
You will suffer. Marin you do not deserve such a fate. Take my hand, we can move on together. It will be easier and will be peaceful. Come with me.
I cannot. There are still so many people who suffer back at Earth. Much people who must be avenged and protected. We will meet again.
She watches me as I turn around and head to the field of grass back to Earth as a restless spirit.
I close my eyes. The memory, it pains me greatly. Bella walks over to me seeing that I am saddened and deep
in thought.
"Marin....you alright?" I do not respond. I keep my head bowed. "Listen, though you aren't exactly alive doesn't mean I won't still help you."
I lift my head to meet her determined eyes.
"You do all that you can to try and save me, there is nothing else left to save, Bella." I drift away.

Rob places the large stack of books on the table. He grabs a some what large of a book and begins to flip through it.
I appear several feet behind him. My legs crossed, I sit on the ground.
He jerks around. My eyes no longer all pure black, some white in there as well.
"Oh? Marin! I got what you requested for. All of these," He runs his fingers down the stack. "Eight books you wanted."
I drift over and grab a book on top of the stack.
Our Magic Of Earth
I sit back down to where I was sitting before. I slowly read through it.
He flips through pages as well.
"So, what is it exactly you are looking for? Or what are you trying to accomplish?"
"Research."
"Tsk...right." Rob turns his attention back to the book. "What are you researching exactly?"
"Chad has great magic, I want to control."
Seeing the point I am trying to get across he organizes them on to a small bookshelf. "Well, if this isn't enough we could always head to the library at night and do some research then."
I put my finger on the middle of the page, I look to his eyes that turn to look into mine. I smile. He smiles back.

Rob pulls out his flash light and puts in his gun. Either he is planning to steal or going to kill, I am not quite sure.
He notices my confusion. "Come on, this place is seriously sketchy, it's for safety things."

He breaks into the closed library through the window. I sit there with my legs crossed as he climbs in. "You mocking me?"
I smile. He rolls his eyes and climbs in all the way.

He sneaks down the stairs watching and waiting for the security camera to turn the other way so he can sneak past.
"Marin, think you can get rid of those? Or at least help me sneak past?"
Without saying a word I drift over to the moving camera. I hold my hand to it as it turns my way. It shuts off.
"Nice." Rob whispers. I don't respond, I trail next to him as he sneaks his way past the other cameras.
He reaches a large table in the middle of three bookshelves.
Many humans break in, high on drugs and alcohol. Rob hides. They carry a girl with dirty blond hair, a revealing outfit, with tape on her mouth and her hands tied. It is all men other than her.

They want to rape and kill her.

Tears flow down her cheeks with fear spread over her eyes. They laugh and cough smoking and drinking beer and wine.
"Marin," Rob whispers. "What should we do?"
I turn my eyes to meet his. My eyes turn all pure black. He knows what I must do.
I vanish.

"Let's take this bitch to the table. We'll tie her down and do our little experiment there!"
She whimpers of fear. Her eyes trail to mine. I stand by the entrance of the large library. Her eyes widen.
I fade away. She then gets worried and scared that I may not want to save her.
They throw her on the table after ripping off her clothing. Her eyes look over to Rob who watches through the books. More tears flowing down her eyes.
"Don't worry, we'll save you." He mouths to her. By the look in her eyes she understands.
She closes her eyes.
"I always wanted to torture-"
A book shelf falls and crushes two men. The others dodge, shock and surprise on there eyes. I stand on top of the other.
The men gape at me as I stare down at them with pure black eyes.
A scream. I jerk my head over to him, he continues to scream. I lunge shoving my hand into his chest then rip out his heart in almost a second. He falls over. Rob covers his mouth in disgust and in surprise. I drop the heart and slowly turn to the four remaining men. The girl still lays there. Rob shakes the sickness off and runs over to the girl. He begins to untie her.
"Th-Thank you."
"Don't thank me just yet we still need to get you out of here."
She nods.
I grab a man by the kneck and pull him closer to my eyes. He shakes as he struggles to lose my grip. But it only tightens. I jump up, the man still in my hand. He lays in the ceiling.
*scratch scratch*
The ceiling part knocks itself around. Screams and gurgles come from just above it. The remaining men run to the exit not caring of the cameras.
They do all they can to break down the door, but it doesn't budge. Instead I rise from the ground in front of the exit. They gape backing up. I drift through the door. A man stands there unable to move, shaking with wide eyes. I put my finger to his cheek. Tears roll down his eyes. He drops to his knees in front of me.
"Please....Just make this quick. I know this day was going to come. I don't want to live on knowing who I am."
I let my human form take over. He awes. "Beautiful."
There is sadness in my eyes, especially when innocent killers surrender easily. He did not want to kill, he did not want to die. Which I see clearly. He speaks once again.
"I don't want my daughter to have to deal with a monster. She deserves a better-"
"Father?!?" The girl comes from downstairs. He gets up and turns to her. Tears roll down her eyes. "Is that you?"
"My daughter...Leave, you don't need to watch this."
"Father, no. Marin why would you want to kill him?"
"Because I killed many of the innocent. I deserve this fate. You deserve better my daughter."
She shakes her head, wanting to refuse to believe that.
"I-It can't be true! Marin, please say it's not true. Please just say it."
I don't respond. The girl falls over, faints. The man turns back to me getting back to his knees. I let my true form take over. He watches, tears in his eyes. "Take care of her. Not for me."
I see the goodness in his heart. The regret in his eyes. I hold out my hand.
"Just....make it quick."
"Close your eyes."
Rob holds the taken girl wearing his jacket.

In a swift swipe, he is dead.
