Maggie ran over, slipping between William and the table Jen was on and shoved him backwards, her heart seemed to stop when she looked into his eyes, they seemed glazed over and she realized either he really couldn't hear her or the curse had taken over so completely that he couldn't respond. He came back towards her and shoved her aside causing her to fall on to her already bruised knees.

Flinching slightly from the pain Maggie quickly got up and looked around desperately trying to figure out someway to stop him. She finally spotted a large hatchet laying on the table next to Jen, grabbing it she slammed the flat side of it into the back of William's head, but he only turned and took it from her tossing it to the other side of the room then went back to tying Jen down. Realizing simply hurting him wouldn't stop him and not sure what else to do to save her friend's life she forced her self back between William and the table. Her stomach turned at the site of the blood that ran down his chin from his last meal, but not sure what else to try she kissed him. He froze for a second then started to return the kiss and his wings started to slowly wrap around her. With one hand Maggie managed to find a knife on the table behind her and cut the ropes that held one of Jen's wrists then felt Jen take the knife to free her other arm just as William's wings closed around her, pulling her closer to him.

Maggie felt something being pressed into her hand and realized it was the keys to Williams truck and to the door in the library, then he pressed a knife into her other hand. Maggie slipped the keys into her pocket then, slipping her hand between his wings and grabbing another knife off of the table she pulled away from William and said, "Forgive me." as she drove the two knives into his eyes. He let out a loud screech, dropped to his knees as he grabbed his face and suddenly spread his wings blocking Maggie as she started to run to where Jen was standing next to the library door. Fighting back tears Maggie grabbed an ax that was leaning against the end of the table and in two swings cut off both of his wings, then grabbing Jen she dragged her into the library and shut the door.

"Maggie what do we do? There's no way out of here." Jen cried.

"Yes there is." Maggie said as she pulled open the desk drawer William had gotten the money out of the first day she was there. She found a large bag of cash, grabbed it then ran over to the wall where the door was and quickly unlocked it.

"Where does this go?" Jen asked as Maggie dragged her up the tunnel.

"Out." Maggie replied as she shoved the outer door open then ran to the truck until Jen suddenly stopped. "Come on we have to get out of here." Maggie said trying to pull Jen towards the truck.

"That truck, I don't want to go near that truck." Jen said tears running down her face.

Maggie turned resting her hands on Jen's shoulders and said. "Jen that truck is the only way we're going to get out of here, if you don't get in the truck now he will catch you and he will kill you. Getting in that truck is the only way you're going to have a chance of getting out of this alive, I'll be right there with you, you'll be fine."

Jen looked uncertainly at the truck but finally got in. Maggie got in the drivers seat and pulled out onto the road then took off as fast as the truck would go, silently praying that she wouldn't crash the truck and that it was possible to get Jen far enough away to be safe.
