Legend spoke of a day, when a vampire lords true love would need them the most they would be granted the chance of another life, but if unable to gain a kiss by the time the clock strikes midnight they would return to the after life, where they would now stay forever. This has only happened once, during the 17th century and many are unsure if it will ever happen again.

Colby
I'd sat in my room just thinking of how I could do it, I finally reached my decision and I somehow managed to get dressed. I felt so numb as I slipped clothes on my body, I can't do this. I need Becky...I can't live like this and Ashley is right, if I stay I'm only going to obsess over trying to find a way to bring Becky back but I know I can only go to her. I open the door and I see Ashley on the couch, she's drinking a coffee and it looks like she's been crying, which makes me hurt even more.

"I'm going out for a bit, I need some fresh air. In half an hour, please go into my room."

"Why half an hour?"

"Please just do it."

I walked towards the door and I shakily unlocked it. 

"Colby whats going on?"

"You've got to trust me, everything will be okay..."

I swiped her keys off the counter, so even if she did read my letter there's no way she'd be able to stop me.

"I've got to go know...I'm sorry."

"Colby..."

I opened it and I quickly locked it behind me, I roughly shoved both sets of keys into my pocket and I made my way down the corridor...towards the stairs.

Ashley
I couldn't wait the half an hour, I had to know what it was now. I climbed off the couch and I burst into his room. I saw it as soon as I entered, a folded bit of paper with my name on it. Ashley. I cautiously approach it and I sit down on his bed to read it.

Ashley,
I know you didn't wait the half an hour, I've probably just left the house. Look I'm sorry, I've been a mess since she died. Losing her made me realise just how much I loved her, I'm not doing this because I hate my life, I'm doing this because I can't live like this anymore. You've given me so many great memories and being your partner in crime has been amazing, but it's all over and I can't do this. You need to move on, you can't have me dragging you down. So I'm sorry, please don't cry or hurt because it's not worth it...just move on. It's what you would want me to do if the roles were reversed. I just want to say this, I love you like a sister and you'll always be family to me no matter what...goodbye Ashley.

I could almost hear his voice in my head as I read the letter, almost like he was reading it to me, but if he thinks I'm giving up and I'm not even going to bother trying to save him, he's wrong. He is my brother, not by blood but by life. I can't just sit here and let him take his own life.

I stand up from his bed and I rush over to the door, I pull the handle but it won't open. I look for my keys but they're gone, he's taken them.

"Colby...no..."

I tried everything I could, until I had nothing left. The door wasn't opening and there was nothing I could do to stop him, he's gone...I sunk to the floor and I placed my head in my hands. In one week I've lost the two people left in my life...
