Author's Note: Holy shit guys are you ready!? One more chapter left! AHHHHHH! lol Ok I have one request of y'all, well actually two..R&R, and I want y'all to tell me this:

Q&A: Was Mina a bad ass in this chapter? We're y'all satisfied? I mean was this what y'all wanted all along? Was i worth the wait? Is this what we want to see from Mina in the books? Personally I'd be ok if she were like this...

Chapter 34:

Ever saw the knife lying off to the side. She grabbed it and looked around. When her eyes locked on Mina, she smirked. She got up and crossed the room. "Well, look who's here! Isn't it the stupid gimp?"

Mina looked at her in horror. "Ever, is that you?"

"Yes, it is me!" She laughed. She stalked across the room, looking like a tiger circling her prey.

"What happened to you?"

"I turned. I'm a succubus now."

Mina shook her head in disbelief. She had heard what Jenny had said, but wow, she hadn't expected this.

"Well... Surprised?" Mina taunted.

"Hardly." Ever smirked.

"Let's leverage a little deal, shall we?" Mina called. Jenny looked at her, curiosity in her eyes.

"I'm listening."

"If you win, I will never see Jared again. Well, actually, you can kill me, and you can have Jared." Jared stared at Mina like she had lost her marbles.

"You can kill me, and carry out with your plans of killing both of them-"

"What the FUCK!?" Jenny screeched, trying to break free from Lauren and Kelly's grasp.

"Or I'll walk away, and you and Jared can live happily ever after. Jenny and Logan will surrender-"

Logan muffled what sounded like curse words under his breath.

"But, if I win, Jenny, Logan, Jared, and I walk away free. The choice is yours."

Everyone stared at Ever, waiting for her reply.

Ever grinned. "Gimp," she sneered, "I've always been better than you," lunging at her, the blade pointing towards her. She vaguely heard Jared's scream, as Mina was nicked by the blade in her arm. Mina cried out in pain. Jenny, on the other hand, had managed to break free, and ran toward the boys. She flicked out the swiss army knife she had and tried to cut the ropes free. Kelly saw this and threw herself at her. Jenny landed on the ground with a hard thud.

They rolled around on the floor. Lauren went to grab the knife, but Logan kicked his legs upwards into her jaw, sending Lauren backwards. She cried out in anguish at this. Jenny took advantage of the distraction and punched
Kelly hard in the face, sending her flying off of her. Kelly landed with a hard hit on her head.

Jenny scrambled up. Running towards the boys, she quickly grabbed the knife and began to cut at the ropes. She cut off the ones holding their feet, and unbound the gag on their mouths. She noticed they both were shackled. "Where's the key?" she asked, noticing the handcuffs. Jared gestured to Kelly's belt. Jenny grimaced, but nodded. "I'll try and be back as soon as I can with the key."

Mina saw Jenny run towards Kelly. Her body was in slight pain from the tackle Ever gave her. And when a giant piece of concrete fell on her, well, that really hurt too.

"There she is!" Ever raged about Jenny to Lauren, "Get her!"

"I have to tell you, I am getting really tired of people- particularly you two- trying to kill me." Jenny declared, exasperated, as Kelly got up and she and Lauren ganged up on her.

"JENNY!" Logan cried. He stared helplessly, wanting to go and help her. Jared felt the same way.

Mina heaved the concrete off of herself and scrambled to her feet, grabbing Ever by the back of her shirt.

"You know, Ever," Mina said conversationally, as she reeled her in, the way a fisherman reels in a really big trout. "Girls like you really irritate me. I mean, it's not because you're a Fae. It's this whole I'm-so-much-better-than-you attitude that really bugs me. Because, this is America." She reached out and grabbed a fistful of Ever's hair. "And, in
America, we're all created equal. Whether you're a Fae or not."

"Yes?" Ever cried, lashing out with her knife. "Well, do you want to know what irritates me the most about you? You think that, just because you're a Grimm, you're better than me. And, that after this curse, you can just send me back to a place I don't even call home anymore, you infernal, loathsome creature!"

Mina began to crack up. Did she just call her loathsome?

"Now, that's not true." Mina said, ducking as Ever took a swipe at her with her blade. "I don't think I'm better than you because I'm a Grimm, Ever. I think I'm better than you because I don't try to kill girls because the guy I love loves them."

In a flash, Mina had Ever's arm pinned behind her waist again. The knife fell to the floor with a clatter. Jared felt an odd sense of pride. He taught her that move.

"And, even if I did do that," she went on, "I wouldn't kill the guy because he didn't love me, when that didn't work. Because," She paused, keeping a firm grip on her hair with her other hand, Mina steered Ever towards the table, "I believe the key to a successful relationship is communication. If you had simply communicated with Jared better, you would know he had no intentions of marrying you. And, if Jared wasn't such a douchebag, he wouldn't have used you. But we can't expect a guy to not be a douchebag. Now can we?"

Jared scowled.

"And then, you know, none of this would be happening. I mean, that's your real problem right there, Ever. Communication goes two ways. Somebody has to talk. And somebody has to listen."

Seeing what Mina was about to do, Ever shrieked, "Kelly- Lauren!"

But it was too late. Mina had already rammed her face hard into the table. Lauren, who had been helping hold down Jenny, face first, on the ground, with her hands behind her, dropped what she was doing and ran towards Ever...

Jenny took advantage of this and rolled over, taking Kelly down with her. Soon, Jenny was free, and she grabbed Kelly by the back of her head, dragging her over to where Jared and Logan were tied up.

"Kelly," Jenny explained patiently, "how many times must we do this?" She asked, as she dragged her over, following Mina's example. "You really should have listened to me." Jenny chastised, as she rammed Kelly's face into the
wall. She pulled her head back to examine the extent of the damage, "You won't listen, will you? I mean, I told you not to mess with me. And," She leaned forward to whisper to her in her ear, "I think I specified that you
not mess with my boyfriend, either. But did you listen? No . . . you . . . did ... not!" Jenny raged, accompanying a blow to Kelly's face after everything she said.

Cruel, Jared thought, as he watched not only Jenny do it, but Mina do it to Ever as well. But, let's face it:
she totally deserved it. The bitch had tried to kill Mina- not once, now, but twice. Not that he was counting or anything. Jared noticed that, even though he hadn't taught Mina much, she was way better than Ever. As far as actual hand-to-hand combat went? Yeah, Ever wasn't so good at that. He watched Mina break her neck pretty easily, just by stomping on it. It was a shame her neck wouldn't stay broken for long, he thought.

He watched Jenny beat the shit out of Kelly. He had to admit, he had never seen anybody go after someone with such single-minded purpose. Jenny, he was convinced, wasn't going to be satisfied merely with breaking Kelly's neck. No, he thought, she wants to rip off the girl's head.

And she was doing a pretty job of it, too. Kelly wasn't much of an opponent, but it was clear Jenny wanted it more. To see her opponent decapitated, he meant. At least, if the energy with which she was swinging a jagged-edged piece of a two-by-four at Kelly's head was any indication.

But, while Ever was nicely subdued, he had forgotten about Lauren, who had been torn over to help, and came to Ever's rescue. He heard a loud, splintering noise. He had a huge, sinking feeling. He looked around, GOD! He felt helpless.

He whipped his head around. The knife Ever had was pointed at Mina's throat. Jared's heart stopped right there.

"I will not stab you in the back." Ever had assured Mina, before Lauren came to her rescue. "It is your face I intend to carve." She hissed.

"Go ahead." Mina said, reaching out and seizing the wrist of Ever's hand that was clutching the knife. "You want to know what your big mistake was?" Mina grunted as she, with a neat move she had learned from Jared, twisted
Ever's arm behind her back. She sunk one knee into Evers spine and sent her sprawling, facedown, onto the floor.

Mina pried the knife from her fingers with her free hand. Ever wasn't taking any of this quietly. She was shrieking her head off, but Mina just ignored her.

She tossed the knife aside, still keeping Ever pinned down with the weight of her knee. Now that Mina was rid of the knife, she leaned forward and seized a handful of Ever's hair and jerked her head towards her. She rammed Evers face into the table and dragged her head up. After the sixth time, she was bleeding heavily from the nose and mouth. Mina observed this with great detachment, like it was someone else who had caused it, and not her.

"Oh," Mina said. "Look at that. That is just so interfering and loathsome of
me."

Then she smashed Ever's face against the table a few more times, saying, "This one is for all the mean things you've said to me, all the shit you put me through, and for that time earlier this month! And this one is for pushing me off a cliff! This is for lying to Jared and everyone I know! This one is for kidnapping Jared! And, oh yeah, this one is for just tonight alone!"

Mina wouldn't say she was out of her mind with rage. She was mad. She was plenty mad. But she knew exactly what she was doing. And it wasn't pretty. Hey, she'd be the first to admit that. Violence is never the answer, right? But just because Ever had pushed her off a cliff and kidnapped her boyfriend, she didn't deserve to have her face bashed in.

No way. What she deserved was to have every bone in her body broken.

Unfortunately, however, when she finally let go of Ever's hair and stood up to do just that, she noticed a sudden blur to her left.

She whipped around. Before Mina could even twitch, Lauren threw her arms around her. She kind of thought Lauren was trying to give her a hug or something, which would have been pretty weird.

But that wasn't what she was doing at all. No. What she was doing, was
throwing her into the wall. Mina hit it with a hard thud, and she struggled
to get up.

Lauren turned around. "I, for one, have had enough." She picked up the knife and went to plunge it into Jared's chest.

"NO!" Mina screamed bloody murder, scrambling up. The loud noise awoke Ever. Through her foggy haze, she vaguely saw the faint image of Lauren about to plunge the knife into Jared.

Ever didn't think twice. She propelled herself forward, as the world slowed down into agonizing torture. As she threw herself across Jared, the blade plunged into her own chest. Lauren gasped at what she had done. She dropped the knife.

Ever's body fell onto Jared. His eyes widened, "Ever..." He cried. Mina struggled to get up. She saw the pipe she had earlier and grabbed it, whacking Lauren as hard as she could with it.

"Why did you just do that?" Jared whispered Ever.

"Because I- I love you. And I couldn't stand the thought of losing you again..." She whispered back, before she closed her eyes. Jared stared at her, bowing his head slightly.

Meanwhile, Lauren had begun to moan. Her broken neck was snapping back into place already.

Logan and Jared glared at her, as she tried to raise herself to her knees.

"Too bad we can't exorcise her." Logan said darkly.

Mina looked at him. "Why can't we?" She asked.

Logan raised his eyebrows. "I don't know. We don't have the materials."

"We don't need them." Mina said. "We have a Grimoire." She looked at Jared for confirmation. With a heavy heart and slight hesitation, he nodded.

"How?" Logan asked, confused. "Don't we need a picture of her? And all sorts of other stuff, like chicken blood?"

"No, we don't." She scrambled around for the Grimoire and concentrated, as a hole began to appear from on top of the pages. Logan looked slightly terrified. Fog was curling down from its outer edges in misty tendrils.

"How do we make it suck them in?" He wanted to know.

Mina glanced at Jenny and Kelly. They were still engaged in what appeared to be mortal combat. If she had thought Kelly had the upper hand, she would have gone over and helped. But it appeared Jenny was doing fine.

Besides, the Kelly wanted Logan and had stolen Jenny's guy. She figured it was personal, and Jenny did not need her help.

"The book!" Mina finally replied, brightening.

She concentrated really hard. Those misty tendrils began to grow longer and longer, until, finally, they spilled out onto the floor and began to curl around Lauren's limbs.

She didn't even seem to mind, either. It was like she was enjoying the way they felt around her wrists and ankles. She didn't even struggle when the slack on the smoky tendrils tightened, and, slowly, the fog began elevating her off the floor.

"What the hell-" Jared looked utterly confused. This was a first...

Lauren soared higher and higher, until... with a strangled cry, Kelly broke away from Jenny and came racing toward them.

"You bitch!" She screamed at Mina, as she stared in horror at her best friend's body, dangling in the air above them. "Bring her down!"

Jenny, panting, with her shirt torn down the middle and a thin ribbon of blood running down the side of her face from a cut in her forehead, came up behind Kelly and said, "If you want her so badly, then why don't you go to her?" And she shoved Kelly into the fogs way.

But not before she snatched the keys from her, dashing strategically over to Jared and freeing him. When she freed Logan, she threw herself at him, and wouldn't let him go.

A second later, tendrils of smoke shot down to curl around Kelly, too. She didn't take her exorcism as quietly as her friend. She did not appear to be enjoying herself one bit. She kicked and screamed and said quite a lot of stuff in some other language that Mina didn't understand, but which Jenny surely did. She and Logan got up, watching Kelly get sucked up into the fog.

Jared, on the other hand, held Ever, putting her gently on the ground. He stared at her uncomprehendingly. They heard someone moaning, and saw Ever getting up.

"I don't want to suck Ever into-" Mina tried.

"Mina, just do it!" Jared barked, turning away. Mina sighed and concentrated, as Ever slowly was enshrouded by the fog.

Jared's expression did not change, not even once. Every so often, Mina would look up. Jared watched his best friend, who had followed him to a different plane, disappear in a cover of smoke, the way the other girls had. A blinding flash of light exploded from the book. They could hear Ever's cries of pain.

Until, finally, they disappeared. Their vengeful cries died away, and silence filled the building. It was so pervasive of a silence; it was actually a little overwhelming. Mina looked down at the book, and saw three beautiful women, their portraits surrounded by seaweed and the ocean. The snakes in their hair made them look exotic, their faces stoic- a porcelain beauty that not even the Greeks could imagine possible, and the last bits of sea foam settled on to the page at the surface. She looked up. Mina herself was reluctant to break it the silence. But, she felt like she had to. There was a thick fog that hung in the room.

"Jared..." She said softly. They heard a soft moan. But not soft enough. In the stillness of the room, after all that violence, the moan sounded like a scream.

The fog cleared, to reveal Ever lying there. "How did that- !?" Mina gasped. She didn't know whether to feel relieved or... dread...

"What do we do with her?" Logan asked. They stared at him.

"I- I don't know. Jared?" Mina asked.

Jared tore his gaze from Ever and looked at Mina questioningly.

She nodded towards her. Jared looked from Ever, to Mina, then back to Ever.

And then back at Mina.

"No thank you, Mina." He answered, casually. "I think I want to stay with you and see how this is all going to end. For us."
