After I lay on my bed for what feels like hours of just tossing and turning I realise that I won't be getting any sleep. I get up and put on my comfy pj's just to get out of this dress. I pick up my old pajama bottoms that are on deaths door due to the emence amount of holes they have, and I pick up my D.C. hoodie and get dressed. The second the glamorous dress and shoes touch the floor they dissapear. For a second I was shocked, but then I realised I didn't do what I was supposed to do so I cant keep the swag. I start to sketch out a plan for the painting that the customer ordered, they wanted an omonous tree surrounded by vultures, and under the tree to be a dead Mufasa not to diffrent from my art style with the dark, but with Mufasa there it hits you right in the childhood. The second my pencil touches my sketch pad I can already see what I am going to do. I can see the exact shades of grey I will use for the sky, and the dull orange I will use for Mufasa's courpse. I start to sketch out the tree i make ghe branches reach all the way to the top corners of the page and the trunk go all the way to the bottom. I map out where I want the vultures and where Mufasa will lay and where the little plants will go. When I start to sketch out Mufasa I hear the door knob on my bedroom door start to turn. I do the only thing I can think of and pretend to be asleep at my desk to apease the intruder most likely my dad.

"Nice try Addy, but you aren't fooling me"

"Ry, what are you doing here?" Oh no does he already know, did Madeline already tell him.

"I was just woken up by this psycho telling me I had to find your future husband or she gets your soul, so I am the one who should be asking the questions here. For instance who was that lady she gave me the chills and why did she tell me of all people to find your husband?" I let out a breath I had no idea I was holding and harshly rub my face

"Her name is Madeline, she was my fairy godmother who was all nice but then I didn't kiss anyone at the dance and she turned into a raging bitch. She disintegrated the dress and the shoes, then she told me that from now until I get married to the person of your chosing she will be on me like a fly on crap. So now my fate is left in your hands " I say and rest my face in my hands. I sigh and run my hands over my face to the back of my head and readjust my ponytail. I don't even look up to meet Ryjer's gaze but I turn around and continue to draw out Mufasa's body. I get to about his ear when Ryker spins my chair around to face him. He has this look on his face that gives me makes my stomach do flips. I get this sudden feeling almost like when you know you need to do something but you don't quite know what it is. Yeah this can't be good.

"There is a simple solution to this, you fall in love with me. Then we make little me's and you's to satisy that psycho and who knows maybe we split up and continue to be friends or maybe we genuinely grow feelings for eachother. But either way you get this Maddy chick off your back, I get to keep my best friend out of her bony fingers, it's a win win situation. Add another win if you want to count our future offspring getting a win for being born. " He laughs at his own joke and I get the feeling that we are being watched. I have no idea what came over me but I grab Ryker by the coller of his pajama shirt and pull him into a kiss. Once I feel him pull me to my feet and wrap his arms around my I rest my hands on his chest. Once we break the kiss I shake my head and realise that I was not the one in control of my body right then. I look behind Ryker and see Madeline sitting on my bed with a smig look on her face.

"Well now I wish I brought some popcorn, thank you Ryker for making my life more interesting by choosing yourself to be her match, because this just prooves that I had the right idea in the first place. Man I am good at my job." Ryker turns around and glares at Madeline while moving me protectively behind him. Maybe becuase I haven't seen him really angry before or maybe Madeline did something to me but Ryker looks fine as all hell right now.

"You need to leave now lady, this is breaking and entering and that is against the law so leave." Ryker clenched his jaw and narrowed his eyes.

"Oh Ryker sweetie, I don't play by the rules, and by the sound of it neither do you. Oh and for future referance, I am so far above the law they don't even know I exsist." She winked, and just as her eye closed she disappeared. I get a chill but I brush it off.

"I am not going to leave you alone if she can do that, no that will not be happening." He lifts my chin so I meet his eyes. They look so comforting and reasuring "Addy I will do everything in my power to keep you safe from her." All I can do is nod in response. I head towards my bed in hopes sleep will provide me with an escape.

"I already told your dad I would be staying here tonight and he was cool with it. He has a really weird sleep schedule." I feel my bed dip behind me and then my bedside lamp gets turned off causing the dark to envelop us and silence to fall. I turn over to face Ryker.

"I am not sure if I kissed you of my own free will Ryker... I felt like I wasn't controling myself, almost like someone else moved me making me do that." I cough "what if Madeline did that." I feel a tear slip out of my eye, why am I so emotional right now.

"I don't know but I felt the same way, she couldn't possibly have done that, the second I suggest we tie the knot I felt like a me that has been burried inside of me wanted out or something." He rests his forehead against mine "maybe it was i don't know fate maybe." He sighs almost as if he was defeated.

"Yeah fate... can you hold me I don't want her taking me again." He knods and i turn my back to him. He wraps his arm around my waiste and just then my eye lids grew too heavy to open.
