It's all an act.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I was wrapping up a show, giving my now and disappearance. I sat back stage drinking some wine as I was waiting to hear how much we had made tonight. All I really wanted to do was get back to Everly at the apartment. We've gotten a lot closer and I liked it. I liked her. A lot.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I had no clue who the hell this guy was, and I was not fond of it. "No I am really fine. Thank you but I prefer to walk on my own." But sadly that wasn't causing him to leave. "I would go against myself to let a lady walk home alone." He grinned once more at me. Kameron I need you. There's this guy who isn't leaving me alone.

Kameron,
I could hear every word she was saying in her pretty little head. "I don't think Kameron can save you now sweetheart." I said once we were away from everyone else. I grabbed her and pinned her against the wall as she stared at me with wide eyes. The adrenaline pumping through her body caused her scent to fill my nose even more. "Oh you look delicious. I'm sure Kameron won't mind if I make you my dinner," I grinned as she tried to scream but I quickly covered her mouth. "Now now. It's rude to yell."

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I stood up quickly as I heard what Everly said. I couldn't say anything back to her because whoever it was would hear me. I could feel Everly's fear causing me to freeze for a moment. I shook it off and quickly disappeared from the dressing room. Who the hell would mess with Everly. I appeared behind the guy who had Everly against the wall. I grabbed him by the neck ripping him away from her and up against the wall. My brain registered with who it was now,"Attica,"I growled.

[haileyjordan]

Attica,
I glared at Kameron for a moment before I loosened up, putting a smile on my face. "Ah Kameron, long time no see," I said. "As much as I'd love to let you and your dear Everly be on your way, I'm afraid I can't. You see, she smells delicious, something...well something I've never tasted before. You and I both know that I get what I want, no matter what I have to do." I clasped my hands together, looking over at Everly, then back at Kameron. "And I don't like to be kept waiting."

Everly,
I felt frozen where I was. What the hell was going on? There was another one? And why did he want me? Oh I felt sick. He wanted to kill me. He seemed strong too, and it scared me.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I glared hard at him,"If you were smart you'd leave right now,"I snarled as my eyes never left Attica. I would not let him get his hands on Everly. "Everly, go,"I said sternly as I kept my body between the two.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I heard what Kameron said but my body wasn't doing anything. Dammit go Everly! I screamed to myself. My heart pounded as I turned to leave but was quickly pulled back.

Attica,
I was a bit more experienced than Kameron and I knew how to get around him. I had Everly held tight against me, her neck in easy access. "You see Kameron. I get what I want. If you even try to come near her she dies. One bite, it's that simple."

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I was pissed off now,"If you bite her I will rip every limb from your body and enjoy doing it,"I growled. I didn't look at Everly. I didn't want to see the fear etched into her face but I could feel it. Oh god I could feel her fear. I remembered I had some cards in my pocket. I kept my mind clear as I slowly slid them out then flicked them at Attica hard to hit his face and open flesh. I tackled him, ripping him away from Everly throwing as many punches as I could.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
How quickly I ran still amazed me. I didn't even know that my legs worked that way. I ran nonstop all the way to our apartment, locking the door (though I knew that wouldn't do anything). I ran into my bedroom, closing the door behind me. I slid down against the wall and cried. I was so scared.

Attica,
So maybe Kameron had gotten stronger since the last time I had seen him. I knew I had a game plan though. Let him win this time, make him feel as though I was the inferior one, then take Everly as my own. I knew her blood was too delicious to only put to use once. I blocked my thoughts out of Kameron's head. As he threw punch after punch at me I managed to grab him by the neck. "I will get her, I promise that." I managed to choke out before I disappeared out of his sight. Strike one.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
"Fuck!"I yelled as I hit the ground causing a huge crack. I gripped at my hair as I looked around, not seeing Everly. Are you okay? Are you safe? I asked as I groaned, hating myself that I let Attica get away. Oh that son of a bitch. Low blow for coming after someone I cared deeply for. I quickly made it home, unlocking the door. "Everly?"I called out, needing to know she was okay.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I could hear Kameron, which instantly caused relief, but I couldn't move. I couldn't stop crying either. I felt childish--sitting on the ground, crying. My body was shut down, which made my mind do all the work. I kept having visions of what just happened flashing through my head, only causing me to tremble.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I could smell Everly in the apartment. I headed to her room, knocking on the door. "Everly,"I said softly through the door,"Please tell me you're okay,"I said resting my head against the door. I can't believe that had happened. I wanted to break into the room to comfort her but I didn't want anymore supernatural stuff to frighten her more than it did already.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I tried to calm down my crying, I swear I had cried all of my tears out. "I'm okay," I said through stifled tears. I wiped my eyes and tried my best to stand up. With weak legs and shaky arms I managed to hold myself up, opening the door as I stared at him, fearing burning in my eyes.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I saw the fear in her face and the fear radiating off her body. "Everly,"I said hopelessly,"Im so sorry. I didn't know any of this would happen,"I said standing there, feeling tired. I was afraid to move towards her, in fear she might retract from me.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I threw my arms around his as I began to cry again. "I thought he was going to kill me." I said through my tears, holding onto him for dear life. I was just glad he was safe, and that the guy was gone. I had never experienced something more terrifying in my life.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I held her tight in my arms, kissing the top of her head,"I'm sorry, sweetheart. You're safe now,"I said as I rubbed her back. I needed her by my side ever second now, with Attica still out there there was still a chance he could get to her.
