I have to find him. I have to get to him. Caleb! Caleb!!
Then I saw him. Caleb. My Caleb! My boyfriend, my husband, my king. Caleb! His silvery hair and his grey eyes, his tall stature, his muscular body, he looks exactly the same as he did 15 years ago. He's okay.
"Caleb!" I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around him. "Thank goodness you're alright, I just-" A shocked gasp escaped my lungs as I let go of Caleb and stepped back. His eyes. They're no longer warm and sensitive. They're cold. Scary. "You're not Caleb."
The cold eyes stung as they looked into me, through me. Right through me. "What are you talking about Adri?" He smiled, a sick mockery of his usually warm smile. "Of course it's me."
I shook my head. "No. I know Caleb. You're not him."
He smirked, an evil half-smile. "You don't know Caleb. You never knew Caleb. That sweet, romantic boyfriend wasn't me. This is."
"No!" Tears threatened at my eyes. "What have they done to you!?"
A voice, too familiar, incredibly terrifying, said, "Oh, I didn't do anything to him."
My breath caught as the figure stepped out of the shadows. The tall figure with eyes a deep, dark blue and jet black hair, wearing dark jeans and a black t-shirt.
"You..." I whispered. "Oh no," I looked back to Caleb. "Please-!"
"You can join us, Adriana," the man said. He held out his hand to me. "You want to be with your dear, sweet Caleb don't you?"
I looked at the hand in fear. A tiny part of my mind told me to take it, the part that wanted to be with Caleb no matter what that meant I had to do. But the rest of my mind knew this was not the way to go. "No... I won't." I gave Caleb a pleading look, and held my hand out to him. "Caleb... Please?"
He averted my eyes. "I think you should go now Adriana." The tears that had been threatening now surfaced. "Caleb..."
"Just go." I felt like a couldn't breathe. Air wouldn't get to my lungs. I took a wavering step back. Then another. One more, and then I turned around and ran as fast as I could away from there.
I have to get to Ai!

~Chapter 13~
Cold. That is the only way I know to describe this strange feeling. This strange...sudden chill that rushed through my body. Bad. Yes, it was definitely something bad.
"Ai? What's wrong?" I had sprung up from my sleep and I guess I woke Nolan on the other side of the bed. I slowly looked down at him, still laying down with his head on the pillow, giving me a concerned look. His look became even more concerned when he saw my face. He quickly sat up and comfortingly rubbed my arm. "Ai?"
"I don't know..." My voice came out barely above a whisper. I cleared my throat and tried again. "I...I just got this weird feeling..."
"Like what?"
"I don't know...but it's something very, very bad."
"Did something happen?"
"I think-" I was interrupted by a banging on the door and someone yelling.
"AI!!! AI, IT'S LILIANA OPEN UP! AI!!!!" Liliana...? I quickly got up and opened the door for Liliana to come barging through the doorway, still screaming. "We have a huge, huge, HUGE, MAJOR FRICKIN' PROBLEM!!"
"What, what!? What is it!? Calm down, take a breath, and then tell me!" I offered a chair to her, but she just shook her head.
"No, no! No time for sitting! Or breathing! They got Caleb! They have him!"
"What do you mean...?" Liliana sighed in frustration.
"Like he isn't with us anymore! I don't know how they did it, but they did!"
"Did what!?"
"They've turned Caleb into a demon!"
"Ai? What's wrong?" I had sprung up from my sleep and I guess I woke Nolan on the other side of the bed.

~Chapter 12~
Sitting there silently, alone in my bed, staring at the phone.
Oh god, that sounded like something out of a sappy teenage movie where the girl is all lonely and depressive.
Well, I sorta am.
Caleb said he would call me tonight. He'd wrapped his arms around me, kissed my cheek, and whispered in my ear that he was going to call. Caleb isn't the type to say he'll call then not. Plus, it sounded like something important, or special, or something. Why hasn't he called!?!?
I sighed and looked at the clock again, just as I had done about 12 seconds ago. Still 10:57 p.m. He would have called by now... He's not going to call. I should just go to-
A sudden array of images burst into my mind; sitting in a wide field of colorful flowers, Ai, different somehow, smiling at me, a boy who seemed familiar yet I could not name, a girl, also familiar yet unnamed, and then, Caleb. It was like he was shining. He was bright and beautiful and amazing, his smile spreading warmth through my body. More images; kissing Caleb, on many different occasions, none of which had happened that I could remember, wearing a long white gown, sleeping next to Caleb, Caleb...holding a sword... Then, the most terrifying of all. An image of a man whom I had only met once, holding a long sword, splattered with blood, inching towards me, with a devious, scary smile plastered on his lips. And I suddenly knew I was seeing the same thing as Caleb. I knew Caleb was in trouble. I knew it had something to do with this evil, terrifying man.
"CALEB!!!"
