Midnights POV
You know how people say that in moments of danger, your whole life flashes before your eyes?
It's so not fucking true.
It's more like you get a jump start to your heart and an adrenaline rush. Let me be the first to say that it's not the bestest feeling in the world. Especially when your several feet in the air about to be dropped from an arrogant asswipe of an angel.
My life is a lie.

Romeo's POV
Anger flashed through me like I've never felt. I've felt fear, utter loss, pure joy, and anger. But this anger; the type I feel now, I've never felt before. Its as if all my whole being has been set on fire.
The moment I heard her scream out my name, my blood started to boil over. I wanted to murder whoever it was messing with my girl. I'd rip out their fucking heart so fast they won't even know what hit them.
When I rushed outside and seen Ari with Midnight the way he did, I knew she pissed him off.
Ari used to be such a gentle creature. Loving, caring, etc. That was until his mind got poisoned by Shadow and Chen. His breaking point was when he found out the truth between me and Midnight.
He was blessed with her hand in marriage for the longest time, but that was until he found out I had imprinted on her at birth. I didn't mean to, but I don't regret it.
The hardest part was when she had to be taken to this world and I had to hand her over to Ari. I heard his thoughts about the marriage. It killed me....but I can't focus on that at the moment. I have to find her.
I'll find you my flower. I promise.

Midnights POV
He held me securely by the waist with one arm and the other had a slight grip on my newly shaded white hair.
"Put me down!" I scream squeezing my eyes shut for the one fact that I have a fear of heights.
"As you wish, princess." He said spitting out in disgust as he then loosens his grip on me slowly.
I let out a scream and claw at his arm trying to get a better grip on him.
"What's the matter?" He asks tauntingly in a cooing way.
"This training to much for you?" He says brushing his hand across my cheek.
I let out a small whimper and move my face away while my feet dangled.
I look up at him with tears clouding my vision.
"Please don't drop me Ari." I say feeling my lower lip quiver.
"...don't let me go." I say sobbing.
He looks at me and for a second I see some type of emotion flit across his eyes before I see his eyes harden and him smirk.
"Don't let go...!!!" He says mocking me in a high pitched shrill voice.
"Well that's a fuckin shame don't you think?" He whispers in my ear making me squirm as he then releases his hold on me.
I gasp.
I felt myself falling.
I felt the wind whipping across my face and going through my hair.
I felt my eyes watering.
I already felt the loss of my life.
But most of all I felt shock.
I wish I had wings to catch me from this fall...
I silently think to myself.
"Lily!!!" Is the last thing I heard before I felt my body hit the ground and pain exploding through my entire body...
.....and then everything went black.
Romeo's POV
three days later
I shake my head to get the image of her lifeless body out of my head. I keep telling myself to quit but it all happened in slow motion.
I seen her falling.
But no matter how fast I ran...I didn't catch her in time. I watched her hit solid ground 6 feet away from the edge of the cliff.
She wasn't even screaming...just silently falling as she was accepting her fate.
I keep torturing myself with her death.
I remember screaming out as I seen her falling. I tried to reach her as fast as I could. But my vampire speed wasn't enough.
Then, my heart stopped beating at the sight of her hitting the ground.
"Lily!!!"
The second I reached her, I no longer heard her heartbeat. I picked her up bridal style and opened a portal to the underworld and jumped in. I guess a part of me took her back here in hopes that maybe she'll wake up. But so far there's been no luck.
All that happened was her heart started back up.
I only wish that she'll wake up soon.
I walk over to the hospital bed they have her in and I sit down beside her grabbing her hand.
It kills me to see her like this.
Lifeless in the human realm but in a coma here.
My dimension.
My dimension is of vampires. I am the heir to the throne here. There really isn't a specific name for my realm; its just there.
All I know is that if I would've taken Lily to Slymethius, somebody would've squealed about it. My best option was taking her here to the vampire realm. My parents and brother know about how precious my girl is to me so they're most likely gonna help cover her tracks. Once she wakes up, I'm having the entire existence of her ever being in this hospital wiped and on top of that, I'm taking the memories of all the people who helped care for her while she stayed here.
I was told by one of her nurses that she suffered a bunch of head trauma and broke a few ribs. Considering who Midnight is, the gift she has, and where she is right now; there's no telling what will happen.
Legend has it that that nobody knows what happens to the people who have this gift that Midnight does when ingested. It's never been heard of.
Getting back to the point, the height Ari released her from was insane. Whatever he was thinking; I hope he knows that the next time I see him, imma rip out his fuckin heart with no mercy.
My fangs elongated at the thought of just ripping his heart out while his hot blood ran through my fingers and down my arm.
I picked the hospital remote up and turned on the TV that links to the human realm and flipped to the news channel again to see a brown headed women wearing a burgundy sweater and holding a microphone.
"....the search for 16 year old Lily Chesterfield continues as she mysteriously disappeared 3 weeks ago just a few days before her birthday. Reports here state that when she didn't show up to school for the 2nd week straight that friends and teachers started to get worried considering that she has perfect attendance. An investigation broke out when a police officer reported to her house only to find out that the mother had no idea who Lily Chesterfield was...."
I tuned out knowing that Shadow took on the form of Lily's mother who is in critical condition at the hospital until I heard the last bit.
"...the only concrete information that we have is that she seen a young strawberry red headed female with freckles on her cheeks who claimed that she was her daughter and two males who could've been in their twenties. We'll have more information...."
I flipped the TV off and put my head in my hands.
"Fucking hell!" I say through clenched teeth throwing the remote at the wall breaking it.
"Just wake up!" I whisper to myself, head in my hands.
I listened to the beeping of the heart monitor filling the silence of the room; allowing it to be a comfort.
...beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...
I sharply inhaled and exhaled and that's when I heard her heartbeat flutter and quicken up.
My head shot up and as soon as I grabbed her hand, I saw her snowy white hair turn black and grow at least 8 inches.
...beep...beep...beep...beeeeeeep....
"Midnight?" I say in disbelief as the heart monitor flat lined.
"Midnight!?!" I say bewildered.
"No!" I yell realization kicking in.
"No no no no! Dammit! Don't leave me! Wake up!" I yell as I grab her shoulders and start to shake her gently; feeling defeated.
"Dammit to fuck!" I yell out as tears start to form around my eyes.
If I thought she was pale before, I was wrong. She went my kind of pale.
Vampire pale.
I pick her up and hug her body close to my chest; holding her head at the crook of my neck with my other hand.
Don't go Midnight. Please. I love you.
I silently pleaded in my head as a few blood tears streak down my face.
Please wake up.
My whole body shakes with silent sobs.
And I stay that way for what feels like hours doing nothing but holding her until I have nothing left to cry.

Midnight's POV
Time felt like it went by slow.
Agonizingly slow.
I felt my body changing.
I felt my bones mending.
I couldn't feel my heart beating...but I felt pain. As if my whole body was on fire.
Every fiber in my body screamed out in pain.
I've only ever felt this in dreams.
I've only ever heard of it in fairy tales.
I clenched my teeth together and I was in that dark place. The one place i remember the angel jumping out the window.
I remember another man. The one who....
"Dammit to fuck!" I hear a man roar out causing me to jump out of my thoughts.
I felt my body being picked up a bit and held securely against something solid and soft.
My head started to fall back limply until he held it securely at the crook of his neck.
I felt something warm fall upon my neck and slide down.
It wasn't until I felt a few more that I realized that this man must've been crying.
I'm guessing I was right about it because I felt his body shaking as if he was cold and I felt my neck getting more wet.
'Don't go Midnight. Please. I love you.'
So that's what my name is? Hm not bad I guess.
Wait! I heard his voice in my head?!!
'Please wake up.'
I wish that I could help him but my whole body feels like it is on fire.
************†***********
He held me in his arms the entire time. The fire in my veins and my whole body started to subside at one point till it became absolutely nothing.
I could hear the man even more clearly than before since he stopped sobbing.
Then I smelled him.
But most of all...I smelled such a sweet aroma.
I felt my mouth water and then I felt even more pain.
My throat burned and felt so dry it's as if I haven't drank anything in days.
How long was I out? Where am I at? Why's this guy crying?
I licked at my top layer of my teeth and felt that my k-9s had elongated themselves into fangs. I was about to scream but then I felt a pulse and pull towards this man. As if my whole life and being was safe.
My eyes shot open and I saw his neck.
That delicious looking neck.
I leaned closer and licked him with the tip of my tongue just for a taste and desire exploded throughout my entire body.
I heard him gasp in surprise before I felt his arms tighten around me.
I let out a whimper as I inhaled his scent.
"It's ok Midnight." He says kissing my shoulder causing me to involuntarily shiver.
'I know your voice.' Is what I wanted to say but I stayed quiet trying to take everything in.
I saw dust particles everywhere and I heard people in the next room over and so on as if they were right beside me.
What's going on?
"I know what you smell." He says as I feel my body quiver a bit.
I shake my head and try to pull away but he holds my head at his neck.
I hiss at him and scare myself shitless.
Was that me??!?!!
"Drink." He whispers in my ear while stroking my back soothingly.
"No!" I whine trying to pull away even though my throat burned and my desire to drink his blood was getting too much for me.
He must've sensed my fear and discomfort because he reached up to his neck and cut it with his fingernail causing blood to spill and gush out in a slow and steady stream.
A part of me felt like I should've screamed but I lean in out of instinct and I peirce his neck with my small needle point fangs deeply and start to drink.
His blood exploded into my mouth and all I could think about was him.
I felt my eyes flutter before I let instincts completely take over. I don't really know how it happened, I just know that somehow I had pinned him down onto the hospital bed while I sat on top of him drinking.
I heard him hiss in pain before softly moaning out in pleasure as I dug my fangs deeper into his soft yet sweet flesh.
I took deep hungry gulps of his blood.
I want him.
But who is he?
I unpeirced my k-9s and glided my tongue across the wound I created at the base of his neck and watched as he heals in fascination.
I pulled back to look at this man and it was if I was staring at the sun and moon and all of Earths creations . He holds such beauty it's as if his face was carved by angels. His skin color is a beautiful sun kissed tan. His eye color is a deep shade of grey and his hair is a deep shade of black as if it were the night sky itself....
He put his hands at the sides of my face while I sat on top of him in shock.
He sat himself up with me still sitting on him and tenderly kissed my forehead.
"Are you ok my flower?" He asks finally pulling back while all I do is continue staring at him in awe; my mouth slightly ajar.
When I register that he asked me a question I quickly look away feeling bashful.
"I'm ok." I say softly while his face holds an amused expression.
"But...who are you?" I ask not looking him in the eyes biting my lower lip softly.
He takes his finger under my chin and makes me look him in the eyes. I search his entire face and he has a bewildered look plastered on.
"Do you trust me?" He asks hesitantly.
I nod my head slowly and he grabs my face with a bit of force and kisses me- or shall I say, he blows into my mouth.
I gasp and try to pull away when I see images flying through my head.
When I was a baby, of war, Ari, my parents, the human realm and my life there, ....of him.
Tears started to stream down my face as he kept blowing memories into me. Even things that I didn't even know or remember. It soon became a mixture of mine and some of his memories.
....him...my bestest friend ever... Fang...is a royal vampire...and me...I'm his soulmate...and also a vampire...
Fang pulls back and I just sit there on him while tears run down my face. His expression is that of regret, anger, and sadness.
"This is really happening isn't it?" I ask feeling defeated. I look up at him and he barely nods before gently removing me from his lap his expression void of any emotion.
I sniffle a bit and wipe my eyes with the back of my hand.
"I'll be back." He says walking out of my room before I could even say a word.
