All I felt was their pain, his pain. The frustration. The confusion. The love. It was the boys' emotions along with Chase's emotions.

Yet as Chase swaggered for a moment, above me, trying to regain his footing, I took my chance.

I threw my hand up in the air, mimicking that motion I had planned on using before to finish Chase off. The same punching motion I was hoping to use to bash his scull in. But this time, I wasn't interrupted. This time I was able to watch as the wave of energy went rushing through the air and up against his cheek and chin. I had finally pulled the trigger of my W.M.D., Weapon of Mass Destruction.

And within a second of the mass of energy hitting his face, a sickening crack echoed through the air.

Come Together

I blinked and it seemed as if time had slowed down, allowing me to see the damage I had done.

Chase's head starting twisting about as if someone had smacked him against the jaw. But his head just kept turning. Pain was written across his near forty year old looking face, and his mouth was open to release a scream. Yet nothing came out by the time that agonizing crack hit the air.

Suddenly his body began to fall down to the ground, he had lost all bodily control and his head began to tumble around, as his body fell to the ground within inches of where my body helplessly laid still.

My own hand came tumbling back down to earth, showing my own lack of strength to keep it up as it went slamming back down into the ground.

"Celeste!"

I heard their feet all running towards me, yet everything, all of their screaming, seemed so muddled in my thoughts as my eyes began to blur. Yet I tilted my head around just to catch a glimpse of Chase's body.

His eyes were wide open. An ugly expression of pain painted across his face. Yet…his neck was disturbingly twisted showing…I had broken his neck.

His body was limp and still and…I no longer felt his magic in the air.

I had killed him…I had finally gotten rid of this glorious bastard. I had fulfilled a dream of mine and was now free to no longer worry whatever happened to him or if there were any more survivors of the Putnam family.

I was free. I had won the duel.

I feeble smile broke out across my mouth, as I suddenly felt lighter. Out of the corner of my eye…I saw the shimmers leaving my body. I no longer needed their emotional energy. I no longer needed to use my magic. My eyes returned to their blue shade within a blink of an eye, as I just laid there looking at Chase Goodwin Collins-Putnam and the tattered body he once called his own.

"Celeste!"

I could feel the earth below me shaking at the stampede their feet caused upon the muddy ground. But they were all safe now. All because of me…their emotions…and Mary Parry and Tobias Danvers' story.

"Celeste!"

I closed my eyes feeling at peace now. I needed to actually get a goodnights rest. After all…eating all of that junk food wasn't not helping me at all. Plus…Chase was dead now and I could officially catch up on all of that sleep I have missed because of him. And I want to look nice at Tyler's ascension at the end of the week.

"Is she dead?" Kate screeched in worry, as I imagined her tucked beneath my brother's protective arm.

"No, she's just…" Tyler tried to console her, but didn't seem so sure of his response.

"Celeste, answer me!" Pogue was yelling as if I had beaten him to the bathroom and was going to make him wait an hour before he could use it again.

"Is he dead?" Kate inquired again in a slightly frighten tone.

"Yeah, I think so…" Reid responded in the same tone Tyler held before.

"Celeste, answer me!"

"Baby, I'm not leaving you." Yet Caleb's voice broke out the closest to me, as I felt arms and hands gathering me up from the ground," You aren't going to get rid of me that easily."

Author's Note: Next update we will finally have Caleb's POV along with the other boys' POVs once again, before we get back to our beloved...a tad bit over dramatic and confusing, heroine. So, do not fear readers! The series isn't over with just yet!
