"Are you done yet?" Hayden demanded as she sat in her chair in the corner of the room inspecting her nails.

"How on earth would I be done?" Billy Dean snarled. "I've been tied up for hours. I'm not magic!" she continued to say as she stared at the wall. She was thankful that Hayden finally quit stepping on her back with her high heels, but Hayden had all the time in the world to wait for Billy Dean to conjure up magic that was never going to happen. Billy Dean was weak with hunger and exhausted. She kept trying to communicate to Violet to try to escape but Violets mind was racing with too many thoughts for Billy Dean to communicate.

Violet was starring at the floor as well, hopeless. The last person in the house she wanted to be trapped with was Hayden. Even Tate would be better then this.

"Hey, Elvira!" Hayden yelled to Violet in an obnoxious tone. "I bet you're thinking about Tate right now aren't you?"

"Why don't you keep you're big mouth shut?" Violet hissed while she continued to stare at the floor, her long blonde hair covering her face.

"Well you're dad seemed to enjoy my big mouth, didn't he?" Hayden said with an evil smirk. She just loved to see Violet squirm.

"You're disgusting." Violet snapped as she shaked the hair out of her face. "And why do you keep bringing up Tate? If you haven't noticed he left your bizarre ass plan a long time ago." Violet said while she glared into Hayden's pitch black eyes.

"Because…just nevermind!" Hayden said as she got up out of her chair and kicked it aside. "I'm through with these games, I want to know how to get rid of these souls now!"

"I…can't…" Billy Dean squeaked. "There…is…no…way. When souls are trapped…. there is no way out….unless the house wasn't even here…then you will have the true death…" She managed to get out.

"Of course!" Hayden said triumphantly. "If the house is gone then we will be free!"

"NO!" Violet screamed. "YOU CRAZY BITCH YOU CANT DO THIS!" Violet pleaded through tears. Even though she could be bored here, she loved her mom and dad, and Jeffrey. She couldn't let them go just yet. And to her disbelief she couldn't say goodbye to Tate yet.

"JUST WATCH ME!" Hayden yelled as she ran into the hall.

"Are you an idiot? Why would you tell her that?" Violet screamed. "Dammit I need to get out of here!"

"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking…" Billy Dean mumbled.

Violet rocked back and forth in her chair until it fell over. But still, she couldn't get free. "Jesus, did she tie these knots with titanium!"

"Violet!" A scream in the distance yelled. She knew that voice anywhere, Tate.

"TATE! HELP ME!" Violet screamed from the floor. Tate raced to Violet and untied her.

"Tate, it's Hayden. She wants to destroy the house. We have to stop her or else who knows what will happen to us!"

"Hello, tied up here." Billy Dean squeaked again. "But not him…I still sense…darkness in him…"

"I'll just do it." Violet said. She untied Billy Dean and then quickly turned to Tate.

"We need to go find her!" Violet screamed.

"Wait, I need to tell you something. I know how you feel but I…" Tate murmered.

"It can wait. We need to stop her quickly. Oh no what happened to my mom and dad." Violet said with desperation.

"Your mom is in the basement and your dad was with Constance I think."

"Okay let's go." Violet said as she took Tate's hand and led him out of the room.

He wouldn't admit it, but when she took his hand, he cracked a smile.
