/Logan's POV\

I think right that minute I sobered up from the emotional high I was on. I felt my palms sweat and my eyes burn from not blinking. I was actually, truly scared. I slowly spun around. I turned to one of the few people everyone knew to fear.

His wicked smile had me shaking, the way his eyes glinted made me re coil and think about what I've done.

He took a step forward and with his bony fingers, that had the sharpest nails I've ever seen, tip my head to peer into his eyes. Out faces so close our breaths mixed.

"Logan, your still as exotic as always." He turned my head to the side and buried his face in my neck, breathing in my scent. "You never cease to amaze me, and recently you've caught EVERYONE'S attention. I'm a bit shocked with you also Logan." He faced me again. He stared in my grey eyes with his intense dark pooled black ones. "I'm getting a bit jealous to. You giving all you attention to a simple human." He used a nail to lightly trace my jaw line.

I was to frozen to tell him to get away. To frozen to tell him to stop or back off.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Parker demanded.

Nononononono-!

I felt my jaw go slack, I now stammered to apologize for Parker. "Please! Don't get mad at him! He didn't mean it! Pierce! He doesn't know who you are! He doesn't kn-" I was caught of guard as Pierce smashed his lips to mine and forcing his tongue inside.

After a couple seconds he pulled away. I started to back up and I put my arms up to defend myself, but his hands shot out and grabbed my wrists in a death grip, his nails dug deeply into my skin tearing at the soft flesh. I cried in agony. "Pierce! Stop that hurts!" He smiled again as a thrill lit up his eyes.

"Your so defenseless Logan! I love it!" He pulled me forward and was licking his lips and slowly opening his mouth, acting as if he was gonna take a bite out of me when-

Parker grabbed me and punched Pierce right in the nose. Making Pierce drop me, his bloody fingers dripped my blood. He used those fingers to hold his nose, managing to smear the blood across his cheeks and nose. A sadistic smile on his face.

"Oh my, the human finally reacts. Your quite the slow poke though." With a sickening crack he re adjusted his nose. "Awe, much better."

"You stay away from me and Logan ya hear?" He held me against his chest. I put my bloodied writs around Parker's neck and linked them there. I hid myself in his chest. Facing Pierce was like a nightmare come true. I tightened my hold on Parker and started to whimper.

"Awe Logan. You can't honestly still be scared of me? I didn't treat you to bad." I could hear the smile I feared in his voice.

"Parker. Lets go..." I started to lead him around Pierce.

"Ah ah ah... Logan, your coming with me. The Grim council is wanting to have an audience with you." I felt his bony hand touch my side, and I instantly froze up.

"He's not going with you." Parker sneered.

I looked at Parker. I couldn't let him get mixed up anymore. "I'm going Parker." I whispered.

He looked at me in surprise and utter horror.

"If I don't go... Who knows what the Grim Council will do... I'm sorry Parker. Forget about me. Go home. Be with your friends, and never seek out this world ever again." I let go of Parker, and before he could utter a word, Pierce had grabbed me and pulled me against him. My back to his chest. An arm wrapped around my waist and hand on my hip. The other holding my jaw so I was forced to watch Parker.

"Say goodbye pretty boy. Logan's not coming back for awhile."

"Logan-" he reached forward, still wanting to tear me away from Pierce but knowing I would be mad at him for doing it.

"Parker. Thank you for being my friend. And attempting to help me live a little. I really like you. And I'd love to kiss you before I go." I felt a tear trail down my face.

Parker saw my expression, he leaned forward, giving me that small wish. Our lips were only allowed to be connected for a moment before Pierce took a step back growling like a rabid dog at Parker. "Goodbye human." Pierce dug his fingernails into my skin yet again making me hold back a scream of pain.

"Please take the picture of me and family to at least remember me!" I managed to gasp out before a dark veil fell between us.

/Parker's POV\

(because I'm saving the rest of Logan's POV for the next chapter)

I ached to go to Logan. I ache to hold him in my arms and never let go.

He told me to forget about him. But he also told me to take his picture to remember him. He's just such a weird person...

I walk home slowly.

Who was that Pierce guy anyway? Logan looked at him as if Pierce was the guy who murdered everyone who knew or even looked at right in front of him. He was so pale he blended in with the hospital walls. His eyes wide wit fear, his shaking hands and body. I just knew that whoever this guy was...

He left quite the impression on Logan.

When I reached the Reapers house, I hadn't even knocked before Alia opened the door holding out a photo frame. Or to be more particular, the one of Logan and his family.

"Take it and go. You really don't want to be here when Arthur gets back." I took the photo. Than eyed my backpack that was filled with stuff. "And here's all your stuff and some of Logans... I know he'd want it to be with you. Yo were his best friend after all. Heck he probably loved you." She gave me my bag and shut the door without anther word.

I put my backpack on and held the photo frame to my chest as I walked down the now very dark street. I always hated the dark. I can't stand it.

All because when I was little, and was running out to throw the trash away, when I was attacked at my home by this horrible man that lived next door. I was about 7 when that man attempted to touch me and probably worse. Right there beside my house. And now I have this fear that someone else will leap out of the dark to attack me again.

Well that and I'm still scared of monsters, so I still sleep with a nightlight on even though I'm almost out of high school.

I heaved a sigh and held the photo frame tighter as I managed to get to my house safe and sound. The light was on and I stepped right inside. Not bothering to let my mom know I was home. She doesn't care.

"Parker? That you?" Her worried voice- wait worried? I stepped into the kitchen to where I heard my mother.

"Yes mom it's me... Is something wrong?" She had tears streaming down her face.

"Oh my god! Parker! I'm so sorry I kicked you out! I've been the worst parent possible! After you left I realized what I did and tried to find you-"

"That's cool an all mom, but we both know that you need something from me- either that or if you were seriously worried, than you finally started taking your meds again." I frowned deeply. "But I'm really upset right now and don't want to deal with this now." I spun on my heal and went into my bedroom. My walls were white and bare. My bed was messy and my shelves were a disaster. And don't even get me started in my closet.

After setting down my stuff on the bed I cleaned up my room, organized it and hung up some photos of me and some friends, and Logan's picture went next to my bed. I finally got the courage to look at what Alia gave me if Logans... Cause she was acting as if he wasn't coming back.

A/N:

And two updates so close together?! Ye it really happened >.> so up better believe it.

I kind if left off anther two cliffhangers, what happens to Logan and what Parker gets :p but come on. Those can't be as bad as the mystery of who Logan knew (which was solved by the way!)

Oh and what do you think of Pierce eh? He's sadistic and shit... Kind of like me! :D oh and next chapter will mostly be Logan, than the chapter free that will more be about Parker :p but were getting toward the end :D

I know so soon?! Well yus ^_^ yus indeed. Want to know why?! Because this is what you call a short story >.> (I didn't have much planned for this book in the first place so this is what happens)

Anycow hope you enjoyed this,
