Kill or be killed

This promise

And there's no looking back
On who we used to be
With everything I am, I swear you'll always see
This promise of mine
Is a promise in time

~Wren's POV~
There are not many times I've felt real fear.

When I heard that Kelly was in critical condition after getting hit by a car was one. I felt my heard drop to the bottom of my stomach.

When Death started to take his ice hold on me is another. His cold hands strangling the humanity out of me. Killing off all my emotions until a cold and dead plane was left.

I'm scared now. I'm scared that he will come back. I'm scared I'll hurt Kory again.

When he kissed me and saved me, I would feel the life draining from him. Death's kiss slowly trying to claim his life. But even after he'd seen what I am, what I could become, he stays. He still holds me close and kisses me.

My eyes look down from my beautiful boy who is talking with his brother to the ring on my hand. This ring used to represent the love I have for my mother. A mother I thought was dead. Now it's so much more.

"Hey." Comes Kory's sweet voice. He crotches down in front of me, looking up into my eyes and holding my hands. It's been years since that last time I indulged in my nerves ticks.

I play with my fingers a lot when I'm nerves. Or scared.

"Sorry." I say simply, leaning forward and placing my forehead to his. "I was spacing out." He smiles at me and kisses my nose. I giggle at how weird that action is, but also how loving it is.

"So about that ride I was promised." He says trailing off. My face goes beat red as I hear someone choke behind us. I cover my face with my hands and hide in his shoulder. Kory laughs and softly apologizes to me for the joke.

After a little while I stand and grab his hand.

"We'll be back." I tell Sebastian and wrap Kory's arms tightly around my waist. He raises an eyebrow at me and I smile. "Hold on." I tell him." And kiss my ring. The rift takes hold of the two of us. We travel and so land on the ground in front of my house. I hear a click and look at the front door.

Kelly walks out and looks up at me. He smiles and drops his trench coat on the ground. He comes over to me and hugs me.

"I missed ya kid." He tells me. I smile and hug him back.

"Sorry I kind of disappeared." I tell him. We pull away and I examine his suit.

"Hank is taking me to some fancy restaurant." Kelly explains. I grumble and sigh.

"I still don't approve of you dating my old teacher." I tell him. He laughs and kisses my cheek.

"Thanks for being so supportive." He tells me sarcastically. I wave him off and enter my home.

"I missed this place." I sigh as I breath in the smell of paper, ink, and lavender.

"Why does it smell like that?" Kory asks me. I shrug.

"Lavender has always helped me sleep." I tell him and jog into my room. Almost instantly I rip off all my clothing and pull on a pair of black, ripped, skinny jeans, a grey plaid that rolls up to my elbows and isn't buttoned up. I put on a black t-shirt under that and add my tall leather boots.

"I think I just got 20 times more gay." Kory days after I exit my room. I laugh and walk over to him.

"And why would that be?" I ask him, smiling as I wrap my arms around his waist and look up at him.
