"You get away from her, she was mine first!" My boyfriend yelled.

"But she was made for me, SHE BELONGS TO ME!" He yelled. I forced my way in between them.

"No one owns me," I said. Both boys turned towards me, their hard faces softening just a fraction before they glared at each other again. Both of them had their fists clenched and I could sense that if something didn't happen, a fight would break out.

"Okay guys, just calm down and let’s not do this okay?" I pleaded, trying to get them to calm down.

“No, let them fight. Let them fight to see who’s truly yours.” I heard a dark voice say. I looked around till I realized it was in my mind.

“Let them battle it out, you’ve wanted to know since the beginning.” The voice said again, and I could feel my body begin to relax, as the voice began to seem more and more convincing to me, “Just step out of the way and you will know. Just move a little, that’s all it’ll take.”

I felt my body begin to slowly edge out from between the two boys before I realized what was truly happening.

“No! I will not let either one die because of me!” I screamed before I fell into inky darkness.
