hockeygrl125- I'm glad you liked both stories so far! You'll just have to keep reading to find out what happens with everyone.

Doug had blindfolded Dena and Lucy after tying their hands together. He had one of his friends and fellow hunters, Alex, with him. Alex dealt with Lucy as Doug bound Dena. Doug would mumble something every once in a while, but everyone else remained quiet. Dena just stared straight ahead while Lucy looked anxiously at everything that was going on. When both girls were blinded they were led out of the house and into a car. From the big step Dena was guessing it was a Suburban or another large SUV.

"Are you ready to watch your witches die?" Doug asked. He glanced in his rear view mirror at the two girls. Both remained silent. "I'm surprised by you Dena. You've betrayed your parents by falling for this warlock."

"I didn't betray my parents. I avenged their death just like I said I would." Dena's voice was calm and controlled, not betraying any of her emotions.

"I still find four witches alive. How were your parents' deaths avenged?"

"I killed the son of the man who killed them. He killed his father for me."

"You killed the son?" Alex asked, finally speaking.

"It was Chase Collins, my late employer." Dena explained. "I did what I said, so I left the company."

"You left the company because you fell in love. Don't give me any of your bull shit." Doug spat. He stomped on the breaks, making everyone lunge forward. "Get them out." Dena listened as two doors were opened. Those doors closed as the one more was opened.

"Come on Dena, let's get you out of here." Alex grabbed Dena's arm and pulled her out of the car. Dena listened as the man holding her turned around to shut the door. Before he turned again Dena bent low and swung her leg out, knocking Alex to the ground. "Bitch!" Alex yelled as he got up.

Dena just stood still, a few feet away and waited for Alex to lunge again. When he did, she bent down and rammed her shoulder into his chest. Alex the grunted as he stumbled backwards, but the piece of metal Dena was looking for had already fallen out. Dena fell to the ground and grabbed Alex's switchblade. She flicked it open and started to cut through the rope. She was grabbed and pulled up before she could finish. "Not going to happen." Alex sneered in Dena's ear. He grabbed the blade out of Dena's hands and folded it shut, but not before he let the blade run over Dena's arm, producing a line of blood.

"Don't be too sure." Dena pulled her hands apart, breaking the rope in the process. She flung a fist at where she believed Alex's head was, but only hit the tip of his nose. Alex released Dena and stumbled back. Dena used the time to untie the blindfold so she could finally see her opponent. "I told you over and over again, you need to pay attention to everything we were taught. Especially how to use other your other senses. By the way, you need a shower."

Alex growled and lunged for Dena again. This time they were evenly matched. Unfortunately for Alex, that meant Dena was a bit stronger. She always had been and had excelled farther than Alex ever had. Within a few minutes Alex was back on the ground, a broken nose and probably a few broken ribs at the least. As he tried to get up a blob of energy flew at him, knocking him back down. Another hit him in the head, knocking him unconscious. Dena turned around to find Reid running over to her.

"Are you ok?" Reid asked. Dena nodded, but winced as Reid placed a hand over a bruise on her cheek. Tyler soon emerged from the shadow of the woods that encircled the clearing.

"This is such a nice little reunion. Too bad it must end." Doug said. He lad Lucy in his arms and a knife at her throat. Lucy was no visibly shaking and tears were started to leak from under the blind fold.

"Let her go Doug!" Dena yelled.

"How many times do I have to tell you?" Doug grinned. "Her fate is going to be the same as all of yours. Now, where are the others? I know there are four of you." Doug looked at the trio before scanning the forest line. Dena's eyes were doing the same thing, but she noticed the silvery blue globe coming through the forest.

"Get Lucy out of here and keep her safe. I need to finish this." Dena said. Reid tried to protest, but Dena was already running at Doug. Doug grinned, oblivious to the fact the energy globe was about to hit him. The blob knocked him forward, forcing him to drop his knife and Lucy. Dena ran forward, pulled her fist back and swung at Doug. Doug tumbled back, but quickly recovered. Soon they were both engaged in the a fist fight.

Doug threw a puch that knocked Dena to the floor. She hit her head as she fell and the bruises from both of her recent fights were protesting as she tried to get up. Doug walked over and pressed her back down with a boot clad foot. "It seems your time as come pretty quickly." Doug bent down and picked Dena up by her collar. "I want you to know, I really did like you. I wish something else could have happened, but unfortunately it has to end with one life."

"And that life isn't going to be yours." Reid growled. He threw an energy orb at Doug, making him drop Dena. She crumbled to the ground instantly.

"You know, those energy spheres are getting really annoying." Doug laughed. "You guys use them all the time. Can you not fight without them?" Dena was still on the ground so she couldn't stop Reid from charging Doug. Doug quickly had Reid on the ground as well, but not before Reid placed a few punches on Doug. "Now, you stay there while I have a nice little chat with your girlfriend here." Doug kicked Reid one more time as he walked back over to Dena who was almost all of the way up.

"I really liked you and I thought I had a chance for a while." Doug grabbed Dena's arms and helped her stand up. "I really wish you didn't leave, that you could have just finished your mission and come home."

"My home was taken away from me when I was a child. It was like living in the army when I was with you. The only home I've known since my parent's deaths have been with Reid." Dena sneered. Doug grabbed Dena's throat and lifted her up.

"You know it could have been better." Doug growled and brought Dena to him. He smashed his lips upon hers. Dena's mouth opened in shock and Doug quickly used that to his advantage. He stopped when he felt the cold of a metal blade pierce his chest. He let Dena go and looked down. His own blade was in his heart. Blood was spilling out, making rivers run down him chest.

"It would have been hell with you and you can't kiss for shit." Dena spit for extra emphasis. She stood up as Doug fell to his knees, still in shock. "I believe it as our second lesson or so. Always know where your weapons are and always know what your enemy is doing." Dena watched her old adopted brother fall to the ground, gasping for his last few mouthfuls of air.

Reid was soon behind Dena, wrapped his arms around her waste and pulling her away. Her eyes were still glued to Doug's body with a cold glare. "Get her back to your house, Reid. It's closer than school is and you'll have more privacy." Caleb said as he materialized through some trees. Pogue was walking right behind him, his eyes were still black from using the power.

"Which one threw the energy ball?" Dena asked.

"Both of us did." Pogue said.

"Thank you then, to both of you. It was the exact break I needed."

"Well we had to get a shot in there at some time." Pogue grinned.

"Now, you two leave and we'll get this mess cleaned up." Caleb said.

"What about Lucy and Tyler? Where are they?" Dena asked.

"They already left for Tyler's house. Lucy's in hysterics though so you might want to call her to let her know everything is alright." Caleb explained.

"I will." Dena yawned. Dena leaned on Reid and started to fall asleep. Reid said goodbye to his two brothers before leading her over to his car. He gently set her down in the passenger seat before going to his side of the car. The car roared to life before quieting to a purring rumble. "Thank you for helping even though I told you not to." Dena mumbled.

"I wasn't going to give him a chance to win and anyways, when have you ever known me to not be part of a good fight?" Reid smiled. He rubbed Dena's hands with his thumb and he used his other hand to steer. Dena was quiet and Reid could tell she was at the edge of falling asleep. "Dena?"

"Hm?"

"Happy anniversary." Reid pulled Dena's hands up to his lips and gently kissed them.

"Happy anniversary to you too." Dena said. She opened her eyes and smiled at him. When they stopped at a stop sign, she pushed herself up and over to him and kissed Reid. She groaned into the kiss as Reid made it deeper, but made sure to not let the passion get the best of them. They broke apart slowly, smiling. "Now, that's a good kiss." Dena smiled as she melt back into her seat. Reid let out a small laugh as he pressed his foot down on the accelerator and sped back to the Garwin Family Mansion.
