Dearest Draven,
Sorry I had to leave so soon. I needed to do something. I am also sorry I went so far last night; I don�t know what came over me. I tried to stop myself but the feeling just took over. You have done so much for me; I just wanted to do something for you. My heart is yours an always will be but I can�t come back to you. My love for you is too strong. Sorry.
Love you
Melissa
�No she can�t. Please don�t go. I love you too�� I woke up sweating from the dream. I looked over and found Dez lying next to me.
She rolled over to her side and the blankets came off of her tiny body, revealing her bosom.
�How could you handle all that?� I thought to my self. I was so tired and the sun was coming up. �How did I not break you? I�m so tired, sleep, sleep.� I closed my eyes and let my mind wonder.

I sighed, �Why is that always during this date? Nothing changes. Every time this month comes along it�s the same. Damn!� I got up and moved to my punching bag. I heard Dez stir but I knew she was still sleeping.
�Why are you still here? You should be gone by now! Why am I saying this? She�s here, she�s not gone! Maybe she�s different.� I turned around and was face to face with her.
�Hi, how�d you sleep?� she sighed, �I�m still really tired. What are you doing?� she said smiling with the sheets wrapped around her.
�I�m taking out some steam.� I kissed her on her forehead and gave her a hug, half out of fear half out of prayer.
"Why are you letting out steam? Was I not satisfying? I knew I should have�� I stopped her in mid sentence by putting my finger to her lips.
�It�s not you; you were great I just had a bad dream. It�s nothing new.� I turned around quickly and hit the bag a couple of times and turned around again.
She went back to the bed to watch me for a while.
�Don�t you have somewhere you have to be today?� I asked afraid of the answer.
�Why, yes I do.� She looked up and smiled. I tried to smile back but only half smiled. �Stay here with you all day and take you out tonight.� She giggled a little and gave me a smile through her hair.
I flashed a big smile and chuckled a little. She laid back down and went to sleep and I went back to my bag. But I couldn�t concentrate. I had so many questions but no answers.
I moved toward her, slowly so I didn�t wake her. Then I saw it. That horrible letter! �She�s not different!� I screamed in my head.
I picked it up and lit a new candle so I could read it better, without dieing. Terrified I opened it and started reading.

Dearest Love,
Itsumo amut-o omattera wa. I love you and always will. Like I said last night, �I love you and always will, dead or alive.� I will never leave your side. Last night I know I went a little wild but I don�t know what got into me, but I liked it, I really liked it. Kimi-ni rnucow-nado.
Love you
Dez
I couldn�t believe it. She was really different. But what did those words mean: �Itsumo amut-o omattera wa� and, �Kimi-ni rnuco-nado?� Oh, well she loves me and won�t leave me. �Oh Shit!� I said louder then I wanted to.
She rolled over and smiled at me �I see you found my letter. I think it was a little too much.� She sighed and gave me another to die for smile.
I ran over to the dresser on the other side of the cove and grabbed a necklace out of its drawers. I walked back to her and held it in front of her waiting for her to grab it.
�This, this, this� she tried to talk but the words were having trouble, �is the medallion of change! What? Why? Why give it to me?� Her eyes were nervous but still wild with excitement.
�Tonight you meet mother. You don�t have to wear it now but please wear it tonight.� I gave her a reassuring smile as she gazed at it.
The necklace had a thick black chain with a black metal pentagram hanging from it, by a nearly invisible loop. Twelve gems were embedded in the circle; all were dark blood red in color. From the corners of the center of the star were five, silver, miniscule treads that suspended a black gem in the middle. The light reflected off the black gem, drawing her eyes to it and seeming to catch her in a trance.
She leaned forward and touched the outside of it, following the circle all the way around and then the star and gem, touching every point before grabbing it.
She looked at it for a little then gave it back to me, �Will you put it on?�
I came toward her and put the necklace around her neck and clipped it on. I leaned back and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
�Sleep.� I whispered in her ear. She laid back and fell back to sleep holding my hand.
