Hello, everyone. I'm updating because I was enlightened by watching The Final Battle, and I wanted to write about something I loved to take my mind off things. You know, we used to watch Ben 10 Alien Force together...she probably would have squealed when Gwen and Kevin kissed. I couldn't squeal, because of the memories associated with squealing, but my I smiled wider than I ever had for these pass months. It was like a blessing from Man of Action to help me feel better. Miracle.

To all the reviewers for the last chapter: Thank you so much for showing support. At first, I honestly expected people to blow it off in the reviews, and just pressure me to update more and more. I even expected a few to scorn me. But, you all proved my negative thoughts wrong. You provided true loving support, just like my best friend would have. Thank you. My gratitude is in words I cannot even verbalize. But, I am going to address every single one of you here:

Kidsota-The Freak Gamer: You didn't offend me at all. I am bad with words too. But, thank you so much for helping me realize that she cared.

Iliketacosxgirlfan: Losing a friend sucks, losing a best friend kills, but losing a best friend that was a sister to you is excruciating. Only false pity annoys me, because some people just say "Oh sweetie, I know how you feel", in reality when they don't. But...the way all of you just empathized with me...you all (this is to all reviewers) just made me know that none of your reviews were false pity. You gave me hope. Yes, this sounds unbelievably corny, but you all did.

Super-Midget-Ninja1990: Yes, that is what I have begin to realize. Maybe she did trust me. If I was in her place, however much I hate to admit it, I wouldn't have told her since it would cause her pain.

Reviewer: All your reviews honestly show that you understand. Thank you for empathy in times of pain.

Dragon Reverb: I guess your hopes have been granted, since I am updating in this chapter

2random4words: Thank you so much for being honest. The honest opinion is really what counts, not what everyone wants to hear.

cheerpandagal: I empathize with your friend. Losing someone is something that just shouldn't happen. It does, and it forever will, but it shouldn't. FF is my only outlet with my pain, and without it, I honestly would have committed suicide.

Dance-Of-The-White-Tiger3389: Thank you, along with everyone else, for helping me ponder on the fact that she might have trusted me. But still, for the rest of my life, I will only have one wish. To find outwhy...why she did this to herself...

Atlashon: I used to think suicide like this was Hollywood too....that changed fast...

Writingaddict169: I am terribly sorry for your grandmother. She must have been extremely close, as was my best friend to me. Taking your advice, I will always honor my friend in my heart, and how bravely she endured everything. Thank you so much for supporting me. You won't believe how great it is to have such loving friends on fanfiction; I truly wouldn't live without you all--literally

Xzavx: Thank you so much for understanding. But, I promise you, I will be back and active on fanfiction as before

Gladeshaddow: Thank you

sassyprincess: I swear, I really will continue this story. It brings me happiness like my other stories. Although the plot might take a different path, I will continue.

KandiLips: What happened to you makes me feel extremely guilty that I am depressed. You are an excellent, kind-hearted person, yet fate has played its hand. It truly is depressing to have someone you love ripped away from you; especially your parents. I will look up to you; you stood strong despite what happened.

On a lighter note...It is kind of the "car-crash" incident that Harry Potter's aunt and uncle told him about his parents. Who knows? Maybe you will save a world too, like Harry Potter.

lauriedoriew: Thank you so much for being honest. People such as you help me live on, and stand strong. What happened to your sister really depresses me. I will look up to you too; you stood strong despite fate's cruel hand

Fairy of the Flames:I...I don't know what to say, Fairy. You honestly brought tears to my eyes with your loving friendship. I believe that there is some type of afterlife, just like you said. I sometimes feel that spirit whenever I think about her. It's like...it's like she's watching over me...Sometimes, when I am upset, I feel that she is upset too. When I smiled (When watching the Final Battle) I almost could hear her squealing and shrieking. I almost felt her giving me a tight hug, cutting off my circulation. I promise you Fairy. I will be strong. I will continue in what I believe in. It is going to take me a lot longer, but I want to try to be stronger. I promise you all, I will never fall away from Ben 10. It reminds me of me and my best friend's childish giggling at any Gwevin parts. That's why I am such a strong shipper of Gwevin. She was too. I had always told her to get a fanfiction account, but she said she wasn't a good writer. Lie. She is one of the best writers I have never met. You know, there is one memory that still makes my heart pain. My best friend kept a lot of journals. She had one diary (She never let me read it--Her parents have now given it to me, but I haven't opened it. I know she writes every single thing in there...and I just don't what to read why she did it anymore.), but she had a lot of journals. She used to write fanfiction every day in these. I have read a few stories, and they were unbelievable. She had stories millions of times better than my poorly written ones. Her parents gave me the journals too, but I won't read them. I don't think I can, so I have padlocked all her stuff that her parents gave me in my room. I can't open it. In fact, I wanted to burn everything the day they gave it all to me. She promised me, promised me, that we would grow up together, and visit each other every day when we got married, while our husbands watched TV downstairs. We had so many dreams...but she broke her promise. She promised that she would never hurt me, but she did. She left me broken.

I don't think I can go on re-living my memories. It is too painful. I will just continue the actual story.

Last Chapters Recap:

"Aro," Jane said respectfully. Aro walked up to Kevin.

"Levin, we are going to make a deal with you. How much money in illegal alien tech do you have?"

"45 million," Kevin muttered, wincing at Gwen's shocked face.

"Give us all of it, and we let you, and the girl go."

"That's all?" Kevin asked deliriously. If it's the money they wanted, they could take it.

Aro smirked. "Yes,"

Kevin walked over, about to shake Aro's hand.

"Kevin, NO!" Gwen yelled. "It's a trap!" Jane kneed Gwen in the stomach, and stuck a big gag down Gwen's throat, not forgetting to dig her nails into Gwen's face. Gwen whimpered, shaking her head no.

"Gwen, I have to do it. To keep Jane from hurting you forever," Kevin grabbed Aro's hand. As soon as he did, he knew it was a big mistake.

Just then, it all happened in slow motion. Aro's eyes glinted, and he pushed Kevin onto the ground, holding him there with the heel of his polished boots. Even though Kevin tried to move, Aro sheer power held him there. Kevin felt furious. Why was he so gullible? No matter what happened, every one double crossed him. Aro, Vulkanis, Argit, his stepfather...

No, Kevin. Don't think about him now...

Kevin cleared his head, and grabbed Aro's heel. Flipping him to the ground, Kevin slammed his fist against Aro's face, and a resounding crash went through the dungeon. And then, time seemed to freeze. Kevin saw Jane screech in anger, and at the same time, about 7 men dragged him and pinned him to the wall. Across the room, Jane held a now limp Gwen against the wall, who had passed out from the blow Jane had dealt to her head with piece of machinery. Aro rose, and stared at Kevin with steely eyes.

"Your cocky attitude will now go punished, boy. But, we have found a new way to punish you," he said, a red mark rising on pale cheek. "Jane, go get a knife." Jane walked over to the counter obediently, and appeared, holding a silver, shiny knife. "Cut her up, and make sure she never sees light again," Aro whispered, so only Jane could hear. Jane paled. She had tortured before, but never flat out murdered someone so gruesomely.

"But..but-t father, we could have her beheaded, or something," she whined softly, trying to avoid passing the knowledge that she was frightened to her father. Aro smirked with a knowing gaze.

"You are scared. The pale look on your face tells it all. I am extremely disappointed in you, Jane. I will have to punish you later, but for now, the girl has to die. Go fetch Bellatrix." Jane nodded, tears filling in her eyes at her failure. She had failed him. Lowering her head in surrender, she walked out, ready to call Bellatrix.

Bellatrix was insane. Maybe not scientifically, but in life's terms, she was insane. She was an fanatic follower of Jane's father, and was one of the only women. But, she was one of the most sadistic and cruel. She had tortured, killed, and destroyed. She often gave the impression of being an utter psychopath, completely and utterly lacking in anything regarding a conscience. She often gave the impression of being an utter psychopath, completely and utterly lacking in anything regarding a conscience. As soon as Jane walked, trembling, to her room, Bellatrix opened it, giving Jane a manical grin. She was dressed in a long, black dress, with rips and tears representing her personality. The dress resembled one that a vampire queen might wear, but Bellatrix was biologically human. Her long sleeves were lacy, and her dressed dipped down, forming tight strings up to her neck. Her hair was wild, flying around her face. Bellatrix's teeth were inhumanly straight, and her red lips always tilted up in a smirk. Overall, her appearance was one of a lunatic. Jane was extremely terrified of her aunt. Although Bellatrix had taught her many things, Jane knew that in her heart, she could never be like her. In reality, she felt like she should just let the Gwen and Kevin go, but she put on fake appearances for her father, hiding her true emotions in. She didn't trust anyone. At the sight of her insane aunt, Jane cringed, and muttered what Aro had said, while looking down.

"That dirty boy slapped master? That filthy scum! The girl shall suffer though....sweet flesh to mar," she laughed sadistically. She flew down the hallway, coming into the room where Gwen and Kevin were held. She instantly grinned at the sight of Gwen unconscious. Walking up to her master, she bowed down.

"Bellatrix," Aro whispered, kissing her hand.

"Master," she murmured. "What do you request of me?"

"Kill the girl."

At that moment, Kevin finally stopped craning around to see what everyone was talking about. He emitted a yell of outrage, and tried to break from the men's grasp. After Kevin ended up biting one of the men, he grabbed a needle, and shot something into Kevin's neck. Instantly, Kevin froze up, like he was on a full body bind. He could still see and hear like normal, but his arms snapped to his side and his legs contracted together. His eyes darted around, and muffled sounds of an attempt to talk came through his shut mouth. The men propped him against the wall.

"Hello, beautiful," Bellatrix crooned, walking Gwen up with the soft caressing of her cheek.

"Wha..who…Kevin?" Gwen mumbled, obviously disoriented. She blinked her blurred eyes, and they slowly adjusted. Her face molded into horror as soon as she saw Bellatrix.

"Who…who are y-y-you?" Gwen stuttered. She was obviously frightened with this demon-like presence.

"My name is too pure for your dirty tongue. Now shut up, "she said, waving her hand over Gwen's mouth. Instantly, like she was under a curse, Gwen was silenced.

"Have you ever heard of cutting? You know, suicidal cutting?" Bellatrix prodded. Gwen slowly nodded. Bellatrix broke out in a leer.

"Please, Master?" she addressed to Aro. Aro nodded, rolling his eyes discreetly. Kill the girl, already. I'm growing weary of not being entertained, he thought, absentmindedly scuffing some dirt with his boot.

"I am going to perform a spell on you which makes you cut yourself to death. This way, I don't have to get my hands dirty with your filthy blood. And, if anyone says I killed you, I can have your boy there confirm that it was a suicide," Bellatrix smirked. Gwen gasped, and tried to get away from her. Bellatrix grabbed Gwen by her hair, and flung her to the ground. She held on to Gwen, and passed her hand over Gwen's head, muttering incantations. Suddenly, Gwen went rigid, and fell to the ground. Bellatrix was smug. She stepped back.

Gwen opened her eyes. Her eyes were glassy, like she was on some kind of curse. She grabbed the scalpel that Bellatrix had conveniently left nearby.

"I hate my life," she rasped methodically, and pressed the scalpel to her wrist. As soon as it made contact, brilliant red blood spurted at the spot. A small pool of blood formed on the ground under her feet. But Gwen, oblivious to all, started sawing away at her wrists, with a maniacal glint in her eyes.

"GWEN!" Kevin screeched, finally have broken the body bind. But, the men held him back. Gwen payed no heed to Kevin.

"Gwen! Please, don't. Think of all the people you will hurt! Your parents, your best friends, Grandpa Max, Ben…the list goes on forever! But most of all, you will hurt me." Kevin choked out. Bellatrix smiled. She knew that Gwen couldn't hear Kevin because of the curse.

"Gwen…please. I will be broken if you keep doing this. I will be left with the memories. Kill me…just please, don't leave me," Kevin whispered, his voice cracking. Tears ran down his face. Gwen was oblivious to it all, though. The curse had given her a burning passion to cut herself, and so she did.

Gwen pressed the knife deep into her veins. By now, her hands were drenched in blood and she was surrounded with it. Everyone in the room saw her stumble, and then collapse to the floor. But, the last word she said before the light left her eyes made Kevin feel like he was torn apart.

"Kevin…"

Not exactly sure where that came from…that was not originally part of my plan. I just wrote it.

Tell me what you think,

~TEAMJakeward101

"I`m going to smile and make you think I`m happy,

I`m going to laugh, so you don`t see me cry,

I`m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me

I`m going to smile."
