"This is so not worth it." Canton whispered glumly. I glared at him and hit the back of his head for good measure. I had gotten this close to Valentine I wasn't going to loose him now. We had gone to the place Alexander had told us Valentine was hiding out and watched for three days, with no results. Finally, Valentine had showed up. I motioned for Canton to follow me, Holly was blocking the open window on the other side of the room. Valentine had finally fallen asleep, after watching an hour of Glee re-runs. I went over to the edge of his bed, silently, and raised my knife. I felt a stabbing pain in my side, looking down I saw a knife in my stomach. Holly rushed forward and slashed at Valentines throat. Valentine cackled a little then died and disappeared into a puff a dark smoke. I dropped my knife and slid to the floor, leaned up against the wall. Canton rushed to my side, cursing openly. He reached into his medicine bag and brought out some bandages. As he pressed them around the knife, I realized he was shaking, rather violently in fact. He stuttered out,

" I should have-i can't believe that I didn't see..." He trailed off tears running from his eyes, as I soothed,

" Canton, hey, Canton," He looked at me,

" Calm down." He nodded, clearing his throat. I sighed shakily and asked quietly,

" Canton, Am I going to live?" Canton smiled and nodded vigorously as he said,

" yes, yes,yes! Of course!" I growled in a threatening tone,

" Canton Don't patronize me. Am. I going to live." Canton bit his lip, he sighed and loosened his slack on the bandages.

" Truthfully, I don't know. If we had Magnus here... I mean I'm a pretty good medic, you know that, but this requires precise skill. Even if Magnus were here we'd still have to get the knife out. If we don't get it out know..." He trailed off, his lip was starting to bleed. I nodded. It was pretty simple get the knife out now, or never.

" Okay, go ahead." Canton stared at me, his eyes filled with terror and love.

" Are you-?" I yelled at the top of my lungs,

" Just do it damn-it!" Canton flinched then nodded, he swallowed slowly,glancing up at me, just to make sure. I nodded, teeth gritted, prepared for the pain.

" On the count of three," Canton breathed nervously,

" One, Tw-"

Pain.

Darkness.
