"Officer down! We have officers down! We need backup! Request for backup."
Many officers are beating up inmates and vice versa while some are escaping through the hole I made from the metal bars that I flung with my magic.
Even tho I'm escaping prison, I still have my conscious screaming at me to just stay. Serve my time. But when it comes down to it, I'm not one of them. I'm not a human.
I'm...I don't know what I am.
"Let's stop messing around and get out of here!" I shout.
This is sure to get all over the news:
Angels, demons, and vampires breaking out of prison!
I chuckle to myself.
I'm not an angel.
But I was a vampire.
But now I'm not.
I'm so confused.
Uuugh why can't everything just stop!
I think in frustration as everything freezes.
Everyone surrounding us is frozen in time. Even stray bullets are frozen in mid shoot.
I look all around in astonishment with my jaw slightly hanging.
"Did... did I do that...?!" I ask freaking out.
"Well it sure wasn't me!" Ari said clapping and looking around at my handy work.
He walks up to me and clamps his hand down on my shoulder with a giant smile and I'm about to smile back when I hear a feral growl and I'm jerked back by my shoulders and waist.
"We agreed 'hands off' remember?" I hear Fang say.
"So possessive." Ari says walking off.
I glare at Fang before squirming out of his arms and walking away.
"Hands off sounds nice indeed."
I say low enough for him to hear.
"Lily-"
"It's Midnight. Lillian Chesterfield doesn't exist anymore. Last I checked she died at 17 remember." I say cutting him off.
"I see. Would you like me to stage her death here since there's gunfire going on?" He asks.
"Yes." I say without hesitation.

As soon as we broke out police cars were all over our asses.
At first I was running and trying to go hide in the woods somewhere till I was reminded to use my wings and fly.
Not gonna lie; I have an immense fear of heights now ever since Ari dropped me from the sky at his attempt of teaching me "how to fly."
In the end Ari flew and Fang held me on his back and ran while I held on with my head snuggled into his neck.
Where we were going I didn't know but what I do know is me and Fang are gonna have a nice long talk about my mother's death.
Fang stopped running and as much as I wanted to keep my face snuggled into his neck and my arms around his neck as well I got down.
I looked around at my surroundings and realized we were in a forest.
"Fang...why'd you stop here?" I ask almost to quiet.
"We need to talk. About your mom." He says looking at me.
"I..I already know." I say as I feel my throat starting to close up and my eyes stinging.
"Babe..." Fang softly says cupping my face.
"She's gone..." I say looking down feeling depressed about it; his hand still on my face.
"Having to cope in jail was hard because I had nobody to talk to. I cried every night for 3 weeks. I couldn't eat anything without wanting to throw it up. Just the thought..." I stop to catch my breath and the sob that wanted to escape my lips; I clenched my fist and bit down on it.
Fang pulls me close and I allow myself to be vulnerable for just a moment. Just one moment.
Almost all my emotions are bottled up because of having to keep quiet all the time. I used to cry at night but because it aggravated the inmates and they always yelled for me to shut up, I had to stop crying.
I refused to cry.
But here I am; tears streaming down my face while being held.
It feels nice to just be held.
"Sit with me babe." He whispers in my ear. I just nod and we both sit down and he pulls me into his lap as he continues to hold me and stroke my hair.
"I didn't hurt her. At all." He starts off quietly looking down
I just stay quiet and listen to him not really knowing what to say.
I just know that I'm hurting inside.
"I found her in critical condition outside your house...the moment I saw her like that...I ran her to the closet hospital I could. I made sure she was in stable condition before I left to check on you." He says.
"How she passed away I don't know. But I'm really sorry for the loss of your mom." He says gently.
"I've been a real jerk to you lately. I'm so sorry for everything. Will you ever be able to forgive me?"
He asks me while holding me against him still.
"As much as I want to say no to you, I can't. I can't stay mad at you. This connection we share...it hurts when I try to deny you. Being cold and distant towards you hurts." I say opening up to him.
"When I was a vampire, I could feel our bond so much more than I could when my powers were locked and I was human like. But as a vampire...you shut me out... you wouldn't talk to me or anything..." I say wiping away my tears vigorously.
"Every day I just wanted you to hug me or tease me calling me babe or baby like you used to. But the most I got out was when I had that nightmare and you stayed with me till the next day...you left me feeling hurt. Why? What did I do wrong?" I continue to cry as I feel him hold onto me a little tighter.
"Your emotion's were unstable." He says cautiously and I look up at him.
"What?" I say feeling confused.
"You were mentally and emotionally unstable. If I was to have taken advantage of you while you were in that state you'd have grown to resent me. Yes I stayed away. I barely touched or looked at you but that was because all your emotions were heightened. You lost everything and I just wanted you to have some time to-"
"I didn't need time!" I yell out hitting his chest and crying.
"I needed you!!" I sob putting my head on his chest.
"All I needed was for you to hold me and tell me everything. At least then I would've known what was going on." I yell while my body starts to shake.
"I understand that now but I can't change the past. What's done is done. But I need to know-" He pauses to lift up my chin.
"Are you going to be in the now with me."
He asks me while I look into his eyes.
I barely nod my head as he starts to wipe away my tears. I grab his hand gently while it's at the side of my face and lean into it with a small smile.
"Romeo-"
He leans in and kisses me gently and I happily respond.
