Lexi stood in the basement of the house, staring at the circle that encircled the room. "So, let me get this straight," she said, walking over to Al. "You can, using this transmutation circle, open the Gate and get us to wherever Ed and Samantha are?"

Al nodded and checked the markings all around the circle. Dakota was walking around the spot where Lust was sitting, hissing up a storm.

"Come here Dakota," said Lexi, beckoning to the cat. He ran towards her, fur on end.

Lust nodded sadly.

"Let's go," he said, pulling Lexi close to him, "And don't forget, no matter what happens I love you."
