Too Far (Anyone)

[igloogirl]

Gabriella grinned as she stopped next to him. A thought came quickly to her sharp mind. Her senses kicked in. "Race ya!" she yelled. Before Isaac could reply, she was halfway up the tree, laughing as she bounded from branch to branch.

[malfoy]

"Cheater," Isaac said under his breath as he began to climb the tree as quickly as he could. He and Gabriella were neck-and-neck. But he was working hard at keeping up with her. She was faster than him. Not that he minded.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella was faster, but Isaac moved farther with each leap he took. Gabriella had to move much faster than usual. They were neck and neck, desperately racing up the tree. Gabriella was going wildly fast and then...there were no more branches above her. She was at the top. Gabriella grinned as she looked down below. She had no idea who had won.

[malfoy]

"You won, spider-monkey." Isaac said, grinning as he too made it to the top of the tree, seconds after his girlfriend. He sat on the branch and pulled Gabriella onto his lap. She no longer felt cold, probably because he was just as stone-like as she was.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella grinned, she briefly wondered if he had let her win, but the thought passed quickly. Either way he was a gracious loser. Gabriella turned to face him, leaning backward to kiss him softly on the lips. Now they were both the same temperature, and the kiss felt normal. Not warm like before, but normal.

[malfoy]

Isaac kissed back, he had no fear that he would break Gabriella without meaning to. How she possibly could have stood it when he was a human. But all was good now. They were on somewhat even footing now. His love for her was still there, he still felt the passion, the same that he had when they were in the awkward phase of their relationship. Nothing could stop them now.

[igloogirl]

The kiss became more passionate as they no longer needed to breath. There were no thoughts in Gabriella's head anymore, only strong emotions. This was much better than before, she could hold him as tightly as she wanted and he wouldn't break.

[malfoy]

Not having to breathe was the strangest sensation in the world, but at the moment, that didn't really matter. Isaac wrapped his arms around Gabriella, eyes closed, feeling so good for the moment. The deaths weren't even in his mind at the moment. Gabriella was all that mattered. Nobody could take this away from them.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella felt his arms come around her, and she let a wonderful feeling fill her up, the feeling of true happiness. She knew that they were meant to be together, it was the only way. And it was truly perfect. Gabriella wrapped her arms around him as well, feeling almost warm.

[malfoy]

Isaac ran his hands through Gabriella's hair as they kissed, it felt so silkily soft as it slid through his pale fingers. Gabriella was his, and he was Gabriella's. He gently pulled away and opened his eyes. He smiled widely. "Love you," he whispered.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella smiled as she leaned her head against Isaac's chest. "I love you too," she replied softly. They had started breathing again, falling perfectly in sync with each other. Gabriella felt like she could sit there at the top of the tree forever.

[malfoy]

Isaac smiled as Gabriella leaned into him, he held her close to him, gently rubbing the small of her back with his hand. It was such a great moment, Isaac didn't want it to end. He could probably stay in the tree with the love of his life until the end of time, or until he needed blood again.

[igloogirl]

They could stay there forever and it would be perfectly alright by Gabriella, except for the part where they would both need blood. She didn't think about that now. For now all she knew was Isaac, comfort, and complete happiness.

[malfoy]

Isaac slid his eyes closed. His brain conjured the images of the two he had killed. The look of sheer terror upon their faces as he slashed into the necks with his own teeth, sucked them dry of their blood. Isaac opened his eyes again. His pale visage betrayed no emotion, but internally, he was scared. The only thing that was certain at the moment was Gabriella n his arms, and the fact that he had become a monster.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella noticed the look in Isaac's eyes, she had seen it in her own before. "You're not a monster," she said quietly, hugging him tightly. Jasmine and Angel were right, they couldn't be monsters. They just had no control. "Not monsters," Gabriella muttered again.
