"Who are you?" Beckett demands.

"Your father should know who I am," Hayden growls, "My family had a deal with your family. Your father should be able to explain it all."

"No," my father whispers, "no there's no way she could've gone there."

"Well she did and I found out the truth," Hayden growls. I could hear the anger behind his voice. "Would you like me explain or are you going to?"

"Well, it'd be better if I explain," my father whispers nervously. "Jane and Beckett, my great-great grandfather made a deal with the Martins that the first born daughter of our bloodline will have to marry the son closest to her age. Alessa is the first born daughter of our bloodline ever. Therefore she has to marry a Martins."

"Being me," Hayden informs, "my brother has been banned from home. I'm the only Martins son close to her age. We must return to our home to talk to my father."

"How come I'm the only daughter in our bloodline?" I question.

"Because we have a curse," my father whisper, "Our curse makes it so no female can be born into our bloodline and survive past the age of eighteen."

"Wait, you mean I have a few months left to live," I whisper quietly, "I'm going to die in a few months."

"Yeah," my father whispers looking to the ground, "it's possible that you marrying someone, it might stop it from happening."

"I'm going to die," I whisper again. "I'm never going to graduate high school or go to college."

"Alessa, calm down," my father whispers with a worried expression on his face, "you need to calm down."

"This is all your fault," I growl, "if you never made a fucking deal with Mr. Colton then I would be able to live the rest of my life freely. You've fucking lied to me so many times. I'm fucking down with your bullshit. You've basically made my life a living hell ever since you left. So fuck off already. I know you don't care about me. I'm basically a bargaining chip for you, asshole."

"Alessa, calm the fuck down," my father yells at me.

"I wish I was fucking dead," I scream feeling my anger boil over again, "I wish I was never fucking born because then I wouldn't have to put up with this fucking bullshit."

"God fucking dammit, Alessa, calm the fuck down," Beckett yells at me. "You're hurting yourself more than you're hurting anyone else. Alessa, your body is trying to travel but can't."

"I don't fucking give a damn if my body is trying to fucking travel," I scream as I lose feeling in my left hand, "I just don't want to be here anymore. I'll go somewhere that I can die."

"Alessa, no," Hayden whispers grabbing my arm and turning me around, "you're not going to leave me. I can't lose you. I've lost to many I can't lose you too. Please don't leave me."

He leans down and kisses me. His lips hit mine and all my angry emotion and death wishes disappear. I feel all my pain and hurt disappear with it. When he pulls back I look up into his blue eyes and see practically every emotion flowing through them. "Hayden," I whisper quietly so only he can hear, "I'm confused. I don't know what to do."

"What do you mean?" he replies quietly.

"I'm in love with Grygh, but I think I'm falling in love with you too," I whisper, "I'm confused how I'm suppose to choose."

"Les," Beckett whispers softly, "please come here." I push myself away from Hayden and walk over to Beckett. He pulls me close and whispers, "you don't really want to die do you."

"No," I mumble as tears start to fall out of my eyes again. "I just want them gone. I know I use to always want them here. But ever since they've shown up things have gotten worse."

"Mom, Dad, I think it's best if you leave," Beckett announces, "you aren't helping anyone here. You're making life harder on me and Alessa, so please just leave."

"I'm not leaving my kids a second time," my mother growls angrily, "especially since one of them could be dying in less than three months."

"I said leave," Beckett growls. "You left us once now leave again."

"I'm not going to...." my mother starts but gets interrupted.

"Jane, honey, we might as well leave," my father whispers, "we're not wanted here."

"Fine," my mother whispers.

I the front door slam shut as the leave. I know that I probably won't see them ever again, but I can't stand seeing them anymore. Once I hear their car pull away I look up at Beckett. "Thank you," I whisper, "Thank you for making them leave."

"Anything to help out my little sis," Beckett replies, "now why don't you take me to this new dimension now."

"Wait, you want to go to a different dimension?" Hayden questions.

"Yeah," Beckett replies, "This dimension is very boring."

"Well lets go home then," I whisper grabbing onto Beckett's and Hayden's arms, "Grygh, do you want to go to? If so grab onto my arm."

Grygh grabs onto my arm and we travel to the dimension. I look up when we get there and see the stars and galaxies covering the sky. "It's beautiful here," I whisper quietly, "the sky is so different."

"That what's comes here," Hayden whispers into my ear, "We are in between all the galaxies. This planet doesn't belong to any galaxy. It sits in the middle of them all showing us all the galaxies surrounding us. It's beautiful just like you."

"Would you stop flirting with her already?" Grygh grumbles.

I look over at Grygh to see anger in his eyes. He's holding back as much as he can without hurting anyone. I look up at him and know that he'll do whatever he can to make sure I'm safe. My life might be a living hell but I'm going to have to deal with it. I watch Beckett walk over to Grygh and barely here him whisper, "you promised your brother that you would protect her no matter the cost. That's what you're trying to do right now. Is protect her from Hayden?"

"Yes," Grygh whispers, "and I plan on keeping that promise."
