I know! This is a short one! But I kinda gave you three different cliffhangers so it needed to end there... A big thankyou to Meghan/ComingAround for reviewing! I own nothing!

Delos sneaked a peak at Maggie as she turned down his covers. She was so beautiful…

One of Maggie's many duties was to help Prince Delos get ready for bed. Including getting him changed.

She had done this a million times before, but this time Delos was embarrassed. What if she thought he was ugly? Or stupid? Or horrible?

He tried to shake the thoughts from his head, he was behaving like a school girl with a crush on the most popular boy in class.

Maggie finished her work and walked to him, gesturing that he should raise his arms.

Delos did as she asked, only because he'd do anything for her. She passed him his night-shirt and let him remove his own trousers.

Delos walked to the bed and Maggie placed a glass of blood on the night stand, just in case.

"Maggie?" Delos asked.

"Yes, sire?" She replied sweetly.

"I need your advice." He said.

Maggie looked up sharply in surprise. "What kind of advice?" She asked.

"Advice about the workings of a girls mind." Delos replied.

Maggie smiled slyly, "What do you need to know?"

Delos sighed and began talking. "If a man really, really likes you. Would you want him to tell you? Even if it were forbidden?"

Maggie frowned. "Why do you need to know that?"

"Just tell me." Delos breathed.

Maggie looked confused and complied. "Well, I would want him to tell me. But it's not like that with all girls, and I have no idea how Night World girls' minds work."

Delos opened his mouth to tell her, when his head caught up with his heart. He couldn't tell her. She'd be killed. He wouldn't let that happen.

"Thank you, Maggie. That was most helpful. Goodnight." he said tightly.

"Good night." Maggie breathed.

She turned and walked out the door, shutting and sliding down it afterwards. God, she loved him.

Thea was suddenly joined in her room by a heavily panting Eric. He had run up all the incredibly steep stairs.

"Eric, what's wrong?" Thea asked.

"She's a… she's a…" Eric gasped.

"What is it, Eric?" Thea asked soothingly.

Eric looked up at her with wide, terrified eyes.

"Blaise is a witch." He said more clearly.

Gillian led Poppy and Lilly to a back alley for them to tell her what they knew.

To say that Poppy was scared would be an understatement. Sure, she was a vampire and a witch. But this was Gillian Lennox!

Gillian stopped suddenly and turned around. "Ok, what do you know about awakening the dead, and how do you know that I'm trying?"

Lilly smiled sympathetically. "There are two possible ways." she whispered. "One is that Gary leaves David's body and you cast a spell to give him more life…"

"How do you know about David?" Gillian shouted.

"I know a lot of things Gillian, please, let me finish." Lilly said quietly. "Another way is to change this reality. This world is not as it is supposed to be. I was sent down by Hellewise to bring the world back to the way it should be. David is not supposed to be possessed by Gary, he is supposed to be alive and well with you at Circle Daybreak."

"What are you talking about?" Gillian asked worriedly.

Lilly started to answer but a voice rung down the alley way, stopping them all from talking.

"Well, well, well, my dear sister. You have become very careless haven't you? Surely you have not forgotten all the scary things that can get you in the night?"

Phil…
