Charlotte felt her heart skip a beat in her chest. She said quietly, in a soft voice, "I think I'm insane," her eyes were wide and blue. "Honestly. I think I've gone crazy."

( Falling down stairs = Not a good idea. xD ) "I just made out with you in the middle of the street after nearly getting hit by a car." She said, smirking. "Not to mention i hardly know you, but like you a lot anyways, and you're, well, y'know..." Charlotte blinked, and sighed.

( xD I fell down the stairs and managed to give myself a bloody nose somehow. But it's all fixed up now. o3o; ) "A bear." Charlotte said flatly. "And I can see dead people." She smiled wryly. "What an odd pair we are..." Her eyes wandered across the street. A woman was walking around with a bicycle helmet on, blood leaking from somewhere in her hair. One of her arms were twisted the wrong way. She was obviously dead.

Charlotte shifted towards him automatically, seeking the warmth and protection that just seemed to radiate off of Derek's being. "A woman," she said slowly. "Tall and thin with long black hair and blue eyes. She's wearing a bike helmet, but, her head is still smashed open..and her arm is terribly broken...where's her bike?" She blinked, watching as the woman disappeared into a thick crowd.

"I don't know." He blinked, wrapping his arms around her. "I never knew how many dead people roamed the streets.."

Charlotte looked up at him, smiling a little bit. "Sometimes it's hard to tell if their dead or not," she admitted. "But just look at it this way. See how many people are on the streets right now?" She waited a moment. "Double that." She returned the hug, a shiver of pleasure rolling down her spine; it made her smile widen, and her arms around him tighten a little. But something inside her seemed to want to kick away from Derek and all his bear-ness. Some part of her she wanted to bury and never let back up: Her bloodlines. Sarah had already pointed out that she hated Derek, but her words chilled Charlotte. "I hate you, and she's suppost to too! It's in our blood." Her mind echoed the last part quietly. It's in our blood. It's in our blood.... It started to give her a pounding headache.

(( Ah, whatever. xD I may as well... ))
Erin eyed Jace, who was staring intently at the floor. She frowned, noticing the awkward atmosphere that he omitted.
Maybe he wants some time alone with her. Erin blushed slightly at the thought. I might be a bother. It seemed a logical reason.
Erin's clear blue eyes were slightly apologetic as she spoke. "I think I'll go get changed now; It's late." She said quietly, breaking the silence that had filled the room. She met Jace's eyes, her face half-shadowed by her bangs, and couldn't help but smile at him before stepping carefully out of the room and stepping quickly up the flight of carpeted stairs, glancing back once.
She closed her door and zipped open her school bag, ripping out her pajamas from it's depths. An airy outfit, consisting of a thin, light t-shirt and some short shorts. It wasn't exactly summer attire, but she didn't intend to wander around on the streets in her pajamas, so it didn't make any difference in the first place.
Erin pulled off her top and pants, tossing them on the bed. She sighed to herself, glancing at the door again. Her thoughts wandered to Jace, and she sat down on the luxurious bed, trying to ignore her still-present headache.

Jace opened his mouth to say something, but he was silenced by a loud knock at the door. He glanced at Angel. "Hold on." He dashed to the front door, and whipped it open. He was met by a gush of cold air, but nothing more. He glanced down, and picked up what laid at his feet. It was exactly five roses; all were white except for one. The middle rose was black as shadows. There was a card attached to it, with Erin's name sketched elegantly on the front. He blushed, thinking about how rude it would be to read her mail, but opened it anyways. The same elegant handwtiting marked the inside of the card. It read: Dear Erin, I know you've probably stumbled upon your happily ever after, and found your prince charming. Hell, you've probably even got a castle in the making. But I'd just like you to know that I'll always be waiting on the wing. As soon as your plans fall through, or something happens, I'll be there to catch you and break your fall. I don't care if I'm just a backup; I'd rather be a backup then a neve-will-be. Try not to be scared anymore, for me. Signed, Your Midnight Beast. On the bottom of the card, there was a paw print pressed into the paper with red ink. He closed the card, knocked on Erin's bedroom door, put the roses on the floor and dashed back to the kitchen. He skidded to a halt and grinned hlaf-heartedly at Angel. "Now, where were we?"

Erin, lost in her thoughts and the relentless yet fading throbbing in her head, nearly fell off the bed in startlement as she heard someone knock at her door. She quickly grabbed her pajama shirt and pulled it on, hoping to be at least semi-dressed before anyone came in. No one did. Erin waited for a few moments, listening intently. There were footsteps, but they were getting quieter. Jace- or Angel- had already gone back down stairs. Then what was the point of that? Erin wondered. Cautiously, she stood and opened the door, and picked up the bundle at her bare feet. The flowers were beautiful, and all a pure white, with the exception of the fifth rose. It was darker than the midnight sky, and she felt a delicate chill run up her spine as she realized, even before opening the letter attatched to it, who it must be from. She swore her heart skipped a beat before beating faster in her chest. When she opened the letter, she felt all of her fears and worries vanish. Dear Erin, I know you've probably stumbled upon your happily ever after, and found your prince charming. Hell, you've probably even got a castle in the making. But I'd just like you to know that I'll always be waiting on the wing. As soon as your plans fall through, or something happens, I'll be there to catch you and break your fall. I don't care if I'm just a backup; I'd rather be a backup then a neve-will-be. Try not to be scared anymore, for me. Signed, Your Midnight Beast. Erin felt tears well up in her eyes as she read and reread the message. She didn't bother brushing them away; they were tears of happiness. She felt more at peace than she had in years. Try not to be scared anymore, for me. Josh had written. Erin brought the letter silently up to her face and pressed her lips gently onto the scarlet pawprint, closing her eyes for a brief moment. I'm not. She promised. She was confused as she looked over the first portion of the letter. Prince charming? She wondered for a moment. She blinked as she connected the dots; when she did, a frown flashed across her face. "Idiot." She mumbled quietly, hugging her knees close to her. "Who's backup? You'll always be first." Within a few minutes she was asleep, curled up on top of the covers, with no blanket, and Josh's letter still held in her hands.

Charlotte nodded, smiling faintly despite the sick feeling she was starting to get. Her eyes were flat and almost lifeless. "I just have a little headache, that's all. I'm good." She added quietly, "And, thanks again for saving me Derek. Both times." _____ -Jace waits for Angel-

Charlotte raised one eyebrow, perplexed. "What about my eyes?" she asked, looking back up at him. Her heart seemed to stutter a little bit, and she wondered faintly if he could hear it. She blushed lightly.
