Jack's P.O.V.
Rupert swung open the mansion's beautiful glass doors open, and bowed so low that his head was basically touching the hard marble floors. I took a step into the house, and thanked Rupert. Julie smiled at me, and I was yet once again touched profoundly by her endless beauty. Everything about her intrigued me. Her entrancing brown eyes, the way that her dimples showed whenever she smiled, her curvy, slim figure, her soft voice, the graceful way she did everything and the shy vibe she radiated. I had seen a lot of pretty space monkey girls in my lifetime, but I had never seen one quite like Julie.
Girls were always trying to flirt with me, just another part of my life. They think I'm handsome, funny, kind, and talented. Starla thinks of me as a regular little space monkey. But what she doesn't know is that I am a celebrity. And a gangster. Not the bad kind though. I have my gang, the Wilds. We are comprised of animals all over the galaxy, and I am the leader. We travel everywhere, fighting crime and serving justice. Just last week, we stopped an evil gang from blowing up an entire planet. We barely survived, and I still have a large scar on my leg to prove it. I told Starla I tripped and fell on the gravel when I was outside, but the truth was far from that.
It was half-way through the mission, and I was cornered in a dark alleyway, outnumbered by twenty six to one. I had lost my weapons, and all of my attackers were armed with shadow guns. They all shot at the same time, and thanks to my tough training, I managed to dodge all of them except one. The bullet embedded itself into my thigh, and the poison from the bullet had already begun to seep into my flesh. A shadow gun's bullet contains a dark poison named souleater poison, that travels deep into your body. Once it is in your flesh, your body starts to rot. Over a course of about three days, the body starts to wither, and the very life and soul of the victim is sucked away. However, sometimes, instant death is the case. I got lucky that day. I pretended to be dead, and the gang walked away. After they had gone, I managed to pull out the bullet, and heal the wound, leaving only the nasty scar. But back to the present now.
I gazed into Julie's deep eyes, and my hands itched to caress her face. But I knew I couldn't have her. I would poison her, rip her soul and heart apart. I would break her over and over again. I would leave her heart in pieces, lying on the ground. I just couldn't stop it.

Starla's P.O.V.
A boy, about my age, looked at me, his beautiful eyes stared into mine, and all I felt was love. Pure, unconditioned love. I ran towards him, and he smiled warmly, his strong, muscular arms opened out, welcoming me, and I ran, ran, and ran. Ran towards my true love. Ran towards my destiny. Ran towards my future. But suddenly, the entire world froze, and we were enveloped in darkness.
My eyelids fluttered, and I sat up slowly, realising it was just a dream. I gazed at the sunshine coming in from my open window. This place seemed like home, and I could tell it already was. The dream seemed so real though... I wish I could find that boy, I thought wistfully. I've always dreamed of that day when my prince would come to me, would save me from all the pain, would kiss me, and tell me it would be okay. Even at the orphanage, I'd been the matchmaker, and had created many lovely couples. Everyone else had their true loves, but I didn't. All my life, I'd always sat on the sidelines, I've always been the third wheel. At least I could talk to Ms. Loren, who had always been single. I shook my head, trying to clear the thought out of my head. No. I couldn't love someone again. Not after... Him.
