Attempting to pull me into a hug, I sprang back instinctively and crawled into a corner, not taking my eyes off the vampire for a second. Before I could escape, it had already reached where I bundled up. I tried to sprint away, but I was pulled back. Tensing every muscle in my body, I shook as I felt potent arms wrap round me. It wouldn't let me go. Stiffly, I asked with a small cowering voice, " Are you going to...k-kill me?". His hold on me tightening, Jett returned with, "I'd never hurt you..", his voice trembling. Looking up, I saw a crystal tear cascade down Jett's pale skin as he swiftly wiped it away. I felt a wave of overwhelming sorrow wash over me.
I'd never seen Jett cry before ; and I hoped I'd never have to again. I felt all his pain, all his sorrow, all his emotions - and it was crushing me. No amount of tragedy in my life could ever compare to that moment. A part of me was crumbling.

Resting my head on his shoulder, I didn't even try to stop the tears spilling from my eyes. "I'm sorry.", I whispered as I cried bitterly. Breaking away, Jett slowly stood up and sniffled, " Don't be." Before practically sprinting out of the room. With a sharp slam, I heard muffled woeful cries as footsteps paced up stairs.

Not any amount of words could ever describe my emotions at that point. I was broken. Daunting on me, I felt a crippling sea of sorrow drown me as it dragged me deeper and deeper into the darkness.

I'd made everything so much worse.
