As soon as I threw the dagger, I regretted it. It was not reasonable to kill somebody. Ever. Even when they killed somebody you cared about. Somebody close to you. Somebody who only lived ten, short years of their life. The pain in my bleeding left shoulder was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

I wanted to go back in time to stop my stupid self. If I couldn't stop myself from doing the dumbest thing in history, i would have left it on hold, looking into Noah's surprised eyes. He probably didn't even realize what I had done.

I had closed my eyes the second the deed was done, and I did not want to open them. I wanted to stay there, crying in built up guilt and regret.

I felt a single, lonely tear roll down my ice-cold cheek.

I heard movement, and I realized that it was most likely the wolves coming to finish me off.

Let them come, I had thought to myself. Let me die, knowing that at least I had avenged my sister. I had killed the one person who I thought I could trust. The one person who I knew, deep down, I was completely in love with.

"I have better reflexes than your average target, you know," The smooth, sweet voice that I thought I would never hear again, mumbled.

I heard myself gasp lightly, as I opened my eyes to find Noah completely unharmed, other than a burn on his hand from touching the silver.

I quickly reassembled my expression, toughening it quickly. I ignored his comment.

"What? Are you here to kill me as well? What are you trying to do? Make a family reunion in the afterlife? I growled, ignoring my bleeding shoulder as I sat up. The blood dribbled down my arm, and soft tissue was visible.

"It actually looks like you were trying to kill me," He replied, his was completely even.

"Oh yeah, and that's why you sent wolves on me. Is that one of your freaky vampire talents? Speaking and controlling wolves?" I replied angrily.

Noah didn't have the time to answer. The white wolf slowly paced over, and transformed into a man.

This was the first time I had ever felt fear creep over me.
