couldn't help but talk to her, beg her to wake up.
    "C'mon baby girl you gotta get up. You have to get up. Please, please. Please don't leave me Moon, please." I whispered to her.
    There was no response. Her green eyes, now so bright I had to squint, were staring at the sky, dead. My hands cupped her face as I continued to speak to her.
    "Get up, please. Give me one more chance. Please, please Moon." My voice shook.
    I bent down, blowing in a lung full of breath, just letting one little sliver of my immortalness inside her soul, knowing that if I'd give her too much, her body would be scorched into flames.
    I shook her gently, feeling her stir. Not getting my hopes up, I checked her pulse. Three beats passed until I was sure I still had a chance. I did. Relief washed over me at the small miracle. But I knew I had to act quickly, if I didn't, the stuff would wear off. I picked Moon up and slung her over my shoulder, then sped off towards his house.
    I stepped on the lawn, not knowing why the door was wide open. Maybe it was a sign. With no hesitation, I stomped through the doorway, letting him know I was here.
    "I always knew you would kill her." the intruder said as I set Moon down on the kitchen table.
    "We still have a chance, Brendan." I replied, ignoring his comment.
    "We? Don't you mean, you?" he spat.
    "I can't save her without you," I hinted.
    "Of course you can't." Brendan stepped towards me threateningly.
    "Just name your damn terms, I'm running out of time!" I hissed, keeping a hand on Moon's wrist, feeling her pulse slow.
    "Leave her alone. You have no part of her life whatsoever. She's all mine."
    "Blackmail." I said disgustedly.
    "You're the one who killed her parents."
    "They kept me away from her. And you know what's going to happen to me when I don't see her."
    "The Guardian of the Moon sucks up your humanity. Well, inhumanity anyway. So that means you'll grow weak, and shrivel up into flames. I don't know how you recovered this time though."
    "My Master gave me permission to do a little hunting."
    Brendan grimaced, "Murderer. Do you agree?"
    I took a deep breath, "Fine."
    "Then I suppose we have a deal."
    "Shut the hell up and heal her!" I spat.
    Brendan shoved me roughly aside, and continued to work on Moon.
    "I'm doing this for her. The agreement and the healing." Brendan hissed.
    About 33 minutes passed. Impatience was eating me down to the core as every minute, every second it felt like Moon's pulse was getting stronger or weaker. I kept a firm hand around her wrist.
    "Are you done?" I hissed, getting up from the chair shoving him to the side.
    "I'm obviously not. Something's wrong, I keep trying to give her a healing rune, or sliver's of my humanity or blood, but it's not working!" he said frustratingly.
    "Dammit." I muttered.
    "What." Brendan hissed.
    "I-"
    "You didn't. You're a fu-"
    "Thanks for the tip." I said through clenched teeth, interrupting him.
    "It's too late. It's over."
    "She'll live." I convinced.
    "Go ahead. Burn her to bits. Only because it hasn't worked before." Brendan stormed away, teleporting in the hallway.
    "Screw you," I muttered.
    I took Moon's wrist, unsure of what to do. It hasn't worked before. The bitch was right.
    "It'll only hurt a little bit. Okay?" I told Moon's limp body.
    I sank my teeth into her wrist, letting the venom spread. I pulled away hastily, not wanting to overdose it.
    I could just hear her pulse quicken so fast from the burns in her body. I could predict her silently screaming in her head, the pain straddling her in her death wake. Retching, twitching from the sun's fiery rays scorching her body inside out, never ending. Never turning her into tiny bits of ash. I heard her pulse quicken faster, faster. A horse pumping it's legs so fast as if Hell was after it. Then, it gave out, silence.
    All I heard was the sound of drip, drip of the sink. Teardrops falling down a waterfall, crying. Crying for me.
    I gave Moon CPR. Blowing lung fulls of breath down her
