another au off of tumblr? who's shocked? anyway, this is a kinda au where you have two names on you since birth, one of the person that is your soul-mate and the other is the person that will kill you, and you don't know which is which. okay try to enjoy my shitty writing!!

just a warning, there's some violence

third person POV

Liza sat by under a tall tree, a book in her lap, not that she was paying it any attention, she was too busy running her smooth fingers over the small black cursive names on her waist. It was all she could think about, the curiosity killed her.

Actually, one of those names would kill her, not that she minded, that's normal for this world now.

People didn't have "crushes" anymore, well, some people did, but that was frowned upon by society, why have crushes when the names are right there for you? Liza had never had one, because one day you'll meet your soulmate, or the person that will kill you, but Liza has always been a huge romantic. She dreams of the day that she'll meet her soulmate almost every night, but she's always following a shadow or seeing a figure in the corner of her eye, she can never tell who it is.

She traces the names again

Gabrielle Jeanette Hanna

David Julien Dobrik

She sighs and stands up, grabbing her book, sketch book, and pencil on the way up. She brushes herself off and walks away, back down the trail that leads to the woods.

She dragged her feet a little in the sandy dirt mix that was the trail. She wasn't really tracing anything in particular, just lines. Normally she'd be playing on her phone as she walked.

Her phone! She felt around in her pockets until she realized that it really wasn't there. She ran back to get it.

Gabbie climbed up her favorite tree, relaxing as she found her favorite spot to sit, and watch the girl.

She new it was a bit creepy, but she couldn't help it. It was her favorite to do, watching the small girl with pretty hair as she walked down the trail, the same trail that she'd walked along for years, that was by a tree that Gabbie had been sitting in for a while as she watched the girl, she didn't know her name.

She always wondered her name if that name on her left wrist could be her name.

Liza slowed as looked at the tree, well, she looked at the guy standing by the tree, who happened to be holding her phone. She ran up to him and ripped it out of his hand

"This is my phone! Why did you have it in your hand?"

"S-sorry, I found it here and was holding it so no one would take it.."

Liza instantly felt guilty, he was just doing a nice thing for her...

"Right. Sorry. I was just worried- I mean some random cu-.... random guy- holding my phone that I left-"

"It's fine, I see why you were worried"

She held out her hand.

"Well, I make a great first impression don't I, I'm Liza"

"David"

Her eyes widened, as they did every time she might someone named David or Gabrielle. This could be her soulmate!

She smiled, "nice name"

He smiled back, "thanks"

"Well I should get going now, it was nice to meet you" she starts turning down the path to start her usual route.

"Don't-...you shouldn't walk alone, haven't you heard about..."

"The murders? There's always murders, look around, there have been for a while now. Besides, I don't want to waste your day away walking me down a path I walk daily."

"Oh, but I insist, and I really don't have anything else to do."

"Okay, okay fine"

He smiles brightly and followed her down the path.

Gabbie sat in her tree, writing her fourth poem, still waiting for the girl.

She sees her and immediately she has her full attention, she watches as she walks down the path... she was talking.

On the phone maybe? But no, she watched the girl turn to a guy who just now came into view, laughing at something he had said. She felt a weird feeling in her stomach, which quickly turned to panic as she saw something that quickly get down from the tree and run towards them.

Liza laughed and laughed. God, he was so funny. This could be her soulmate. She thinks this is her soulmate. Hope and excitement pulse through her veins. He had stopped talked so she turned around, figuring it was her turn to talk, but what she sees shocks her.

He's standing there. Holding a knife, it's pointed at her. She then looks behind him, and is shocked again when she sees a girl run up and slit his throat.
Liza gasps and covers her mouth, backing away from the scene with tears in her eyes.

Gabbie walked toward her slowly with her hands up in a kind of surrender motion.

"I'm not going to hurt you" she tried to tell the smaller but seemingly old enough girl

"Y-you j-just-"
"Killed him. Yes. I know. I saw that he was about to kill you."

Liza almost subconsciously lifted her shirt a little to see the names again. Gabbie saw the names too.

David wasn't her soulmate, he was going to murder her.

"What's your name?" Gabbie asked, snapping Liza out of her thoughts.

"Elizabeth, but most people call me Liza"

Gabbie took a sharp breath. Her name is on Liza, and Liza's name is on her.

They're soulmates.

"What's your name?" Liza asked her in return

Something is Gabbie snapped, "Anna" she lied.

a/n: that's clearly not the end so if you want part 2 let me know!

I know this was different from what i usually write but I loved writing this more than I've enjoyed a one shot in a long time
