"Tori?" Casper's eyebrows furrowed, and fear came over his face. Without needing any thought or incentive, he grabbed her in his arms, all previous weakenesses gone. "Shhh. It's going to be okay, Tori. you're here. you're here. No one can hurt you now. You're here. With me. You'll be okay,sweetie." he murmured softly, rubbing her back slowly and pressing his lips to her forehead. "I love you. Stay here, with me. This is real, right now. Please."

Tori snapped back, a strangled scream escaping her throat, tears streaming quickly down her face. she buried herself in Casper, clinging to him. "the memories...they hurt, Cas. they hurt so much..." she sobbed out, hanging onto him as if he were the only stable thing in her life. at the moment, he was.
-----MEANWHILE-----
My sweet Vendetta,
As i lay here without you, my heart shatters a little bit every moment that passes by of my life that is wasted without you. tonight, i decided to write this letter and deliver it to you, that way you will always have a piece of me with you. the world spins slower, the sun doesn't shine as bright, and the moon isn't nearly as dazzling without you at my side, ordering me around and riding next to me like a goddess of speed on your motorcycle. because, i love you Vendetta.
people act like they're so tough, and you do too sometimes, to make sure that the pack is safe. but i know who you really are. you're a girl; human, wolf, mortal. real. with real emotions and real pain. you carry the world's burdens with a smile, pretending that it's your responsibility and your job. and for the pack, that means we have the greatest, smartest, most beautiful, stunning, confident, amazing pack leader i have ever had the pleasure to love. because, i love you Vendetta.
when i heard you tell me that you loved me, my heart swelled with such joy, i thought it would burst. i want to hold you in my arms and whisper sweet nothings in your ear. i want to run next to you in a cool forest in autumn, the dry leaves barely crunching under our feet. i want to lay next to you on a beach, staring at you as you think and stare at the moon for guidence. i want to kiss you long enough that we both run out of air. i want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. i want to hear you say you love me over and over until my ears fall off, and i want to do the same to you. because, i love you Vendetta. i love you.
so until you are in my arms, no hunt will be the same. the moon won't shine brightly. the sun will be dull. the rush of wind i feel on my motorcycle won't be there. because, i love you Vendetta.
forever loving you, Xavier.
a tear fell onto the page as my heart broke a little bit more.

"I know, Tori. I know." Casper whispered, holding her all the more tighter. He swallowed, beginning to feel what she had undoubtedly felt before. He would give all the world just to have her smile again. "I'm here for you. And I'm not going to leave you, Tori. I love you." he told her, kissing the top of her head. "I'm always going to be here. I promise I won't leave you. Just cry until you feel better."

"promise?" she sniffled. she looked up at Casper, her eyes filled with sadness.
-----MEANWHILE-----
I slipped to the floor, holding the note close to my heart as tears slipped out. i curled up on the floor, the moonlight bathing me. i folded the note small and hid it in a pocket, and fell asleep, knowing that he was under the same moon that i was.

"I swear." Casper stated, brushing her hair back a little and looking into her eyes. He felt like he was condemning himslf. And in a sense, he was. To life. Now that was a promise he had to keep. But the pain he felt watching Tori deteriorate made him realize how crucial his doing so was. He kissed her for a moment, his lips lingering above hers. Sadness. Sadness he could feel and taste. He wanted to make it stop for her. He would give anything. He kissed her again.

Tori let her lips ligner just above his for a moment before she backed away and looked at him, her eyes swarmed with sadness, the insanity lurking at the edges. but in the corner, there was this little sparkle. hope. she kissed him again, holding onto the new and strange emotion as tightly as she was holding onto Casper. because, really, what else could she hold onto?
-----MEANWHILE-----
"get up. we have another day of work, mutt." Rascale growled in my ear, making my instincts kick in and slam my fist into his nose. i was on my feet, my teeth bared and ready to fight before i straightened up, realizing where i was and the past hitting me like a train. i shook off the pain and let my emotions cool off to frigid.
"don't wake me up like that. it's safer out of hitting range." i snarled icily, storming out of the room and into Mother's office, the letter invisible in my pocket, its warmth keeping me strong. alive.

"I love you." Casper whispered into Tori's ear, grasping her tightly. "I'm here for you." he swallowed. "And this insanity and suicide can shove it."
-
Mother looked at Vendetta coldly as she entered. Files sat on her desk for the mission and a man stood in a corner. Next to him also stood a younger boy. Both stood at attention, yet the older man stood with an aura of deviation from what normally was common among the workers in the complex. "New day, new mission of course." mother stated, pushing the filed forward. There were enough for each team member to read through. [i'll leave that up to you.] "Vendetta," she stated pointedly. She nodded to the man. "This is you new supervisor and will proceed to be your trainer when you are not on a mission. He is here to observe your progress in the field and build on it when off."
"And this is my apprentice." the man stated, a twitch in his lips and hint of a smile. "Can't forget him."
Mother looked down. The apprentice looked no more to be ten, judging by height, though with the sunglasses on his face, she could not be sure. "Well, were he of any substance, i would agree with you." she stated, clealry not pleased, but saying no more. The boy twitched, seeming displeased by the comment.

"thank you. for being here." she whispered, almost inaudiuble, hiding her face in his chest, hoping he wouldn't see the fear of being lost in her eyes.
-----MEANWHILE [THESE CAPITAL LETTERS CAPTURE ATTENTION BUT THEY'RE KIND OF ANNOYING SO I THINK I'LL stop.]-----
I looked them over, blinking twice. i looked at Mother. "i'm being babysat? by some random dude and a little kid who probably still sleeps with a blankey? seriously? if you want me tracked, at least get someone who looks like they'd be good at it." i said, grabbing the file and storming out the door at my normal break neck pace. i poked my head back in, my eyes narrowed at my new tail. "try to keep up, if you can." i said, and stormed back out. i pulled my hair up into a tight ponytail at the nape of my neck and flipped through the files. three people had to die today by my hands. solo, at least. i shut the folder and shoved it into an inside pocket of my leather jacket, and hopped onto my bike, letting it idle as i waited for the other two to catch up.

"Thank yo for letting me." Casper replied, running his fingers through her hair.
-
The apprentice was the first to catch up. Taking off his glasses now, he revealed a complicated gaze set in brown, Spanish eyes. He cleared his throat. "I don't sleep with a blanket he informed, supressing a smile. His voice was laden with a calm, smooth accent. "I got enough insults from your - well, I am honestly finding it more of an insult to yourself, were I to call you her mother - whoever she is, before." he replied. He looked her up and down, his gaze suggesting an innocent curiosity; something not normally found within the agency. There was no coldness or malice. "But my name is Fernando." he stuck out his hand. An abnormally calloused, scarred, strong hand for someone his age. "I'm here for your training and to kick the butt of any idiot who s remotely agressive, harmful, or irritating to your overall being. Not to insinuate you need such, but that it would be my pleasure. I hope you will find that I am more than qualified for my job."

the tears slowed to a stop, and when she looked up, the hope that had been a little sparkle had jumped and shone in both eyes. she kissed him softly, hoping that it would keep him there at least long enough for her to stand on her two feet again.
----- i think you know when this is happening by now -----
I looked him over, circling him once, twice, three times, and then shook the hand warily.
"you're new, aren't you. you have life and happiness in you. that will be gone soon enough. but for now, hop on back." i said, hopping back onto my motorcycle. after a moment, i looked back at him. "my name is Vendetta. and i can whoop your ass any day of the week, let alone whoever tries to kick mine. and she is called Mother because she decided to try and make the animal mixtures. it was her idea. therefore, we all have to call her Mother." i explained. i shook my head, smirking. "you have a lot to learn, newbie."

Casper kissed her back, his fingers tracing slowly down to the small of her back and his heart racing in his chest. He had seen the light happiness in her eyes and desperately wished to keep it there, hoping only to open his eyes and see it once more after this moment was over.
-No, actually, I don't. =P-
Fernando did as suggested. "Well, Vendetta, I don't know. I suppose I'm a newbie, if five years is at all new." He grinned like only a child could. "So, yes, that is half of my life span." He cleared his throat. "We have a lot of people like you in the labs. So keeping happy is easy, because of all the interesting people. Hang out with..." he paused and looked up. There seemed to be an unusual way about how he said "have." It was as if he was glad for it and wanted to keep it that way, in spite of his apparent job. "Well, around idiots like your pack, that will fade very quickly. Hence the reason I'm working with you and not them. You are much cooler."
Then he laughed, his eyes seeming to light up like crescent moons. "And we'll see about that." he replied. "I'm just offering because, one," he quieted as not to be heard. His eyes were slightly darker. "Morons like your Rascale are fun to beat up. Couple the fact with that I'm not even five feet, I'm going to be eleven next month, and I can guaruntee he will get cocky, it would be a funny sight. Two, I like to fight. When the subject of the fight irritates me, I like it even more. I was only around him a little while and he greatly annoys me. Three, the authority I have to do so surpasses the authority he has. Basically, I can beat him to a bloody pulp, no consequences. So, if you are ever ticked off at him and don't feel like dealing with that Mother person..." He let the offer stand with a small smirk.
Then he thought for a moment upon her last statement. "I've been briefed." he stated boredly, with a slight nod. "However, you seem like a nice person and I'd rather not insult you."

When Tori pulled away, her eyes were soft with joy and affection, a small smile on her face. she buried her face in his chest. "thank you." she whispered.
-----MEANWHILE-----
Vendetta raised an eyebrow, turning around and absorbing the information. before she could reply, the older scientist appeared, panting slightly. i smirked as he got into a car. "keep up, old man." i said, hopping onto my bike and glanced at Fernando, waiting for him to hop on as i pulled on my helmet.

Casper grinned down at his girlfriend. "It's nothing." he rplied, hugging her all the more tighter. Then, as he could not resist with the new light-hearted mood, his fingers reached out to her side and he proceeded to tickle her.
-
Feranando laughed agin and hopped on to the bike. "Don't tempt him." he stated. "We both have to train with him later." the boy added with a chuckle, yet some semblance of seriousness in his voice, as he put his sunglasses back on.

Tori, sensing his better mood, thus began to be tickled. she ended up falling down, curled up, laughing hysterically.
---
I rolled my eyes. "i'll just be a little 'rusty' and 'accidentally' hit some pressure points. easy. now let's go. i have people to kill." i said, driving off.

Casper grinned evilly, his red eyes seeming to literally glow with a childish amusement as he continued his tickling attack upon his girlfriend.
-
"And he's a little rusty too and might slip up and break your leg before you see him coming." Fernando stated, shuddering slightly, seemingly from memory. He then shook his head and grinned. "Lovely. Let's go." he finished just as the force of the oncoming wind hit his face.
