Last few chapters of the story! It'll end at 30.


IGGY HELPED FANG prop Crystal up against the tree. Desperately he checked for a pulse. Her neck was cold, and even though his hands were very sensitive, there was no pulse.

"I'm sorry about this, Iggy." Fang said gently. "I thought she was ready. I didn't know it would end like this." He made eye contact with Iggy and noticed tears in his eyes.

"I never even got to tell her how I feel." He said, his voice breaking. Fang pulled him into a brotherly hug, and Iggy started to cry more. Not really balling, but lots of tears. Fang wasn't sure what to do. He thought that she had only been knocked unconscious, not killed. A small movement caught his eye. Fang put two fingers on Crystal's neck and, to his shock, a pulse was clearly there!

"She's not dead, Iggy. She's got a pulse!" As the words left his mouth, Crystal stirred awake. She rubbed the back of her neck and looked at the two figures standing in front of her. Iggy couldn't put into words what he was thinking and feeling.

"Fang? Iggy? Is that you?" She asked weekly. The next second She was pulled into a group hug, with Iggy struggling not to cry with happiness.

"Are you sure your okay?" Asked Fang seriously. He knew Iggy couldn't handle any more trauma than necessary.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. Not even a scratch." She replied as she got to her feet. Fang tried to keep her sitting, but she slapped his hand. "It was strange," She began, "I can't describe it. You know how Iggy can feel colors and Angel can read minds? Well, I think I can make people think I'm dead." There was a long moment of silence. Iggy and Fang looked at each other, both in disbelief of her words.

"That seams pretty far fetched, Crystal." Fang finally said. "Could you do it again?" Crystal nodded and preceded to sit back down against the tree. The next moment her skin was cold to the touch, and there was no pulse. Fang and Iggy both checked for a pulse themselves and couldn't believe it. Crystal then revived herself and smiled at Fang.

"I can fake my own death!"
