This chapter is short but its the chapter before the ending. So please enjoy and sorry I haven't posted in a while.


Grip Of Life

Dean fell silent, thought of his options and decided to let me go. If he had to shoot me there was no way Ail would let him unless it were by surprise. As soon as he released his grip and stepped away from the bed I got up and looked at him as though he had gone crazy.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Go look in the mirror." He pointed toward the bathroom.

When I walked to the bathroom I stared into the mirror, he was right they were purple. I never saw purple eyes before, looked kind of cool if you ask me. Then I understood what it meant. She was in me, the other half of us destroyed forcing us to become one.

As you can imagine this brought up more problems then having her just take over my body. I stormed out the bathroom and approached Dean who slightly flinched with each movement I made.

"I'm not going to hurt you, you idiot." My voice strong and tense.

"You might not, but she will."

"You got that right." Ail smiled.

"Lia?"

"Yeah, shoot me." I stated plainly, handing him my gun.

"That wouldn't be a good idea Dean."

"No."

"What do you mean no, shoot me."

"I'm not killing you."

" So shoot me when I'm Ail."

"What good will that do?" He pushed the gun away from him.

"I don't know… maybe if you shoot her that part of me will die, and I can come back as just me."

"It wont work Dean, her and I share the same life source."

"No, you and her share the same life source."

"Fine, I'll do it myself." I raised the gun up to my temple ready to pull the trigger. Dean reached over to stop me but had no need to. In that instant Ail took over and threw the gun to the side.

"I don't think so."

"Lia." He called my name. I looked down at my hands to see the gun was missing.

"You promised…" I looked up at him with pleading eyes. "I'm not safe Dean."

"There's got to be another way."

"What Dean? If you got a better idea then tell me because I sure as fuck don't." For the first time Dean saw the more serious side of me. Like him I covered everything up with a smile and a bit of sarcasm. I never had to take anything so serious, I was untouchable with Ail by my side. Nothing was able to hurt me as long as she was there, but now I didn't have the confidence to put a funny twist on the situation.

"It's not that simple Lia, she'll kill me before I even lift a gun."

"I always knew you weren't stupid." Ail felt the need to share her opinion.

"Shut up bitch."

"Watch who you talk to like that dear boy, you don't want to get your self killed."

"Lia."

"Dean if you say my name one more time I swear you will have to worry about me hurting you…"

We both stood there in silence, as hard as I tried I couldn't think of a god damn thing. It was like Ail was blocking me from my thoughts. I closed my eyes, trying to focus on controlling my mind.

"Think, think, think."

"It wont help Lia."

"Ail?"

"Yes."

"You know I hate you right?"

"Well… I cant argue with that now can I."

"Get out of me."

"I don't think so."

"I swear to god if you don't get out of me I'll kill myself."

"Oh I don't think so. You see I can easily control your every move from in here."

"So what now? I got the body on week days?"

"I'm not sure yet. This wasn't exactly part of my plans."

"So… you're an idiot! Why would you do this, now we're stuck like this."

"You're an idiot, if you just gave up we wouldn't be going through this!"

"If you left things the way they were we wouldn't be going through this! And now we're in more of a stale mate then we were before!"

"Thank you captain obvious!"

"Well make a move so we can finish this. I'm tired already."

"I… Lia shut up let me think."

"Oh not so witty now you dumb ass. You didn't only make the situation worse for the both of us but you don't know what the hell your doing."

"Hey its not like you got any bright ideas."

"I'm not the one that put us in this mess."

"Then shut up and let me think you moron."

All the arguing inside my head allowed me to reach my thoughts. My telekinesis… squeezing her heart… my heart…

"What are you thinking about?" Ail asked frightened.

I opened my eyes and saw Dean starring at me with a weird look. I guess I made some facial expressions while arguing with Ail.

"So Dean… what do you think she'll do if we both try killing me at once?"

Dean didn't settle well with the whole kill me idea but knew if he was in my place he'd ask the same from me.

"I don't think she'd be able to handle us both."

"What?"

"Exactly." I smiled sadistically.

Closing my eyes all over again I pictured myself reaching into my chest and grabbing my heart, squeezing it softly before I would put the real pressure on it. Keep in mind I felt the pain just as much as Ail did so I had to start out gentle. Let me tell you… that shit hurts mad much. Feeling the pressure of your own hand squeezing away at the blob of red that we claim to be our hearts. It felt like someone was driving a bulldozer over my chest, making me feel like my world was crushing down with the weight of the world on top of it.

I kneeled on the floor, no longer capable of holding myself up. Dean reached over to the floor and grabbed the gun that Ail threw down a few minutes ago. He pointed it at my forehead ready to pull the trigger.

"Dean, now!" I looked up at him, my eyes a bright purple surrounded by red. The veins in my eyes popped from the pain in my chest, turning all that was white a dark red. Dean faltered for a second and began to pull the trigger. In that second Ail took over and swung him to the wall closest, not wanting to waste her energy. Still she was unable to break my hold. From the far corner of the room a dark figure appeared and I knew it was another reaper. This time though, I'd let him take me.

The pain started to become more unbearable but I still held my heart in my head. My grip slowly decreasing its strength. There was no way I'd be able to hold on much longer.

"Dean… now…" It was extremely hard to speak.

"LIA!!! LET GO!!! LIA!!!"

Dean rolled onto his side with the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger. The bullet cleanly pierced through my skin where my heart was. Everything stopped… everything went black.

Dean ran to my body and knelt down beside me, lifting half my body off the floor.

I could hear his voice calling out for me, begging me to find my way back to my body. Hoping it wasn't Ail that would take over and my soul the one that died with the wound in my chest. I remember hearing Ail's voice whispering in the darkness that I had fallen into.

"C'mon Lia…please." Dean pleaded for me to open my eyes.
