AN: You probably want to get right on to the story, don't worry, me too 3

"Talking"

Telepathy talk thingo - you'll get what I mean

"You look troubled. Anything bothering you?" he said, seriously.

Should I tell him about everything? I'm just not sure if I should… If I do, he might get involved with them, which means he'd be in danger. I can't risk it! But what I've he can help me?

No! I just can't risk it!

After that happened, I decided to not tell Rei about the troubles I've had. It would get him in danger, and I definitely don't want that for him. I made the small little dish of beef stroganoff for Tyson with no other problems. And was a little excited at the fact that Rei could like me in some way. I'm not sure which though. Tyson was going to have a party tonight. He had just thought of having one because it was Saturday and his grandfather would not return until tomorrow morning.

Tyson already had food out and everything. Music played already. Now just waiting for everyone to arrive. Rei and me were sitting on the couch doing nothing, while Tyson and Kai were fighting over what Kai should wear. I couldn't let myself say anything to Rei.

Go say something, go say something, filled my head as I just sat there. I was too shy to say anything. And I didn't know what to talk about. Maybe I'll tell him about the troubles tonight or something, yanno, when I've had too much soft drink. Sugar always gets me weird. I kept on telling myself that I would talk to him soon but not right now.

I forced myself to say something to him, "Rei, I need to tell you something. It's about why I've been so weird lately, but not now! I can't say it now!"

"Okay, Maxie. Whenever you're ready. We'll talk" was all Rei said as he placed his hand on top of mine on the couch.

I felt myself blush. I didn't think he would understand, but he seemed to be patient with me. Maybe I'll tell him I like him and the problems I've had. But I think it's still a little too much to say.

A few minutes later, the party actually turned into a party. There were nearly 30 people there! They were everyone we knew from school. Rei and I haven't gotten close yet. In fact I haven't seen him. The music was loud and great. Right now, Franz Ferdinand's 'Take me out' was playing. (I love that song) I was hanging around the food, eating. I only felt like talking to Rei. I knew it wasn't going to happen, considering that I haven't seen him for quite awhile. He probably forgot about me, I sighed sadly.

I walked out side and sat on the boarded steps. The moon was shining bright down at me. I didn't feel like partying right now.

Just as I lay there, a noise was heard from the bushes. I assumed it was an animal or something. But the noise grew louder and louder, I started to get a little scared. The noise seemed to be coming closer to me. Now I didn't know what direction it had come from. It felt like it was in front of me, then besides me and behind me. I panicked. What is it?

And just as I feared- I heard growling. Just like the scary dog that had tried to attack me way before. I got up quickly and looked around. Tell you the truth, I was bloody scared! I didn't know what to do!

Calm down, little one

Where did that come from? It felt like it was in my head. Was someone talking to me?

Yes. for centuries, I have been looking for someone like you. And now, I'm not going to let you go

I didn't know who that was. What was going on! Should I just run back inside?

Do not run, my young one. I won't hurt you

"W-who are y-you?" I stuttered out.

I am Azteribus. I am your Watcher

"My watcher?" I asked, looking around for any sign of movement.

Yes. I am your protector, the one you seek for help and guidance. Only I can guard you

Wait, don't I already have a protector? What about Driger?

Driger cannot help you! He is only using you to turn against me, your guard

"What?" I said taken back, "Driger's not using me. He's trying to protect me!"

No! He is very deceiving. You think he is one person, and yet he is another that you are so fond of

"Rei?" I blurted out, "That can't be!"

It is true! They are one person. He's making you think that he is good! But he is not! He's using you. He wants you! Your innocence! Never let him have it!

"No! He wont hurt me!" I said shaking my head. He won't do that! "They can't be the same person! And even if they were, he's not bad! He's kind"

He's fooling you, my child. Don't let him do what he had done with the other you

"What? What other me?" this is confusing.

He fooled another that looks like you. It was a long time ago. The poor boy thought that Rei loves him, but it's a lie! He slaughtered that Max in cold blood!

"No! That's not true! It cant be!" I said panicking, "I wont believe you!"

Suite yourself. But beware of him. Don't let him deceive you as he has with the other you! I will always watch out for you. Even though you don't believe me. Farewell, my lovely one

I didn't know what to do! Do I ask Rei? He's not using me! He can't be! He won't do that!

"Hey, Max? You alright?" I heard behind me.

I turned quickly. It was Rei. He seemed worried. I don't know what to say to him.

I ran passed him and ran out. I heard him calling me, but I ignore it. I felt tears welling up. I'm so confused I don't know what to believe! Is Rei good or is he using me! I couldn't believe anything at all. Rei and Driger aren't the same person, they can't be. But it would explain everything. But is he bad? I'm so confused.

I ran straight home and locked the door. I felt myself sag to the ground and I began to sob.

I didn't know what to do…

"Did he fall for it, Azteribus?" A dark voice was heard.

"Yes, Master" came the reply.

"Excellent. Everything is working out perfectly," the dark voice laughed out, "Now all that's left is to get rid of that annoying Rei and Max will finally be ours. Isn't that right, Azteribus?"

Ruby red eyes glowed sadly, "Yes, Master…"

How was that? Was that even good or should I have not done that at all?

So yea HELP!

Soz, I took so long updating. I've been quite a busy girl!

Plz read and review!
