shoulders; no magic filled the room and
made it all go away.
    “ You don’t love me, or else
this all would be over.” he told her. Chloe ran off
sobbing.
    Adam dropped into
depression, haunting Chloe’s dreams, filling her with emptiness and
pain.
    One night, she refused to
come to him. So he slipped into another one of her dreams, grabbing
onto her subconscious and locking it away in his first glass
sphere. He heard on the news that she had slipped into a coma, and
has been that way for almost eight years now.
    Ever since then whenever one of the
girls try to leave him he traps them here, either grabbing them by
their subconscious, or physically going out and hunting them down.
They are all still under his spell, even after they realize who he
really is, so it usually isn’t much of a struggle to get them to
come back with him.
    Except for Chloe.
    But then again, he never had to flicker
his azure eyes to get her to be with him, she has always come to
him, at least she did until he snapped.

Chapter Ten
    Melody screams, waking herself up. Her
heart beats violently inside of her chest as she looks up at her
clock, her vision pulsating with her heart beat.
    7:19 am.
    She sighs, trying to calm her boiling
blood.
    “ Sam should be up right now
getting ready for his audition, I’ll call him.” she thinks to herself
    She reaches her arm out to the coffee
table, her fingers frantically scratching at the table until the
cell phone slides to her.
    “ Hello?” croaks a very
groggy Sam.
    “ Hey, it’s me.” Melody
says.
    Sam perks up at the sound of her voice,
pressing his lips closer to the phone. “Hey, I was worried when I
woke up and you weren’t there. Is everything ok?”
    “ Oh, sorry I let myself
out.” She can just picture how saddened he must have looked when he
noticed she was missing; something inside of her drops to her
stomach.
    “ It’s ok. Did you dream
about him again?” he asks.
    “ Um, kind of…” Melody
replies.
    Sam gives a long pause before
answering, “What happened?”
    “ Well he gave me my necklace
back.”
    “ Ok, that’s good. Anything
else?”
    “ Well, he tried to make out
with me, but I got away before he could.”
    “ The guy just won’t give it
up will he?” Sam laughs.
    They awkwardly laugh, trying to fight
off some of the tension that’s hanging between them. A long,
“ding-dong” noise rings throughout the small apartment, startling
Melody and causing her to jump. She jogs to the front door, the
phone pressed to her ear by her shoulder, listening to Sam tune his
guitar on the other end as she pulls the door open.
    “ Hello, Melody.” Adam
greats.
    She drops the phone; it makes a
clattering noise as it hits the vinyl flooring. Adam stands in her
door way, in flesh and blood with an excited grin smeared across
his face.
    “ Hey! Melody! Are you
there?” the phone yells from down by her feet.
    Melody’s mouth hangs on its hinges as
her mind scrambles on what to do. “Adam? But how…?”
    Sam shouts through the phone again,
“Melody, stay where you are… I'm coming!” The phone makes a
clicking noise as Sam hangs up.
    “ So… I'm real!” Adam
announces, holding his arms out, his face beaming with
excitement.
    She steps away from the door frame,
shaking her head in disbelief that he is standing on her door mat.
“How did you find me?”
    He smiles, coming in for a kiss like
it’s the appropriate time to send her in to another dizzying array
of goose bumps. The minty smell of Adam’s breath barely reaches her
nose before Sam comes running down the hall to her
apartment.
    He grabs the back of Adam’s shirt,
flinging him out the door frame before he can come completely into
Melody’s apartment,
    “ What did I tell you? You
touch her, I hurt you!” Sam shouts, his pulse racing and temples
throbbing.
    Adam puts his hands up, backing away
from the apartment, winking at Melody one last time before spinning
on his heels and walking towards the stairs, acting
