Alice watched cautiously as Adrian and Jane stared at each other. She couldn't seem to get a grasp of what move either would make. Not only were their futures blurred in her visions but their facial expressions were impossible to read. They seemed to both be waiting on the other's decision before deciding to make their own. As uncomfortable as not knowing made her, she hoped it would stay this way because it guaranteed Adrian would stay safe that much longer.

"Well, what is it?" Jane's voice sounded patient when she spoke. "We only have until sunrise to settle this."

Adrian's eyes shifted from his empty stare to a look of concentration and thought. Alice saw as decisions ran through his mind and she prayed he would go with his first choice and not say a word; all his other options ended badly. She watched him slowly slide his hand into his pocket and pull out a black cell phone. Alice's heart broke as she realized what he had decided.

"What are you doing?" Jane growled.

"Alice, catch." Adrian threw the phone into her already outstretched hand. "Now, go home, you don't want to see this."

"No, please, no." Alice whispered as she flipped the phone over in her hands.

Jane shrieked with laughter. "So, you've made your decision then?"

"Not quite yet." Adrian smirked.

Jane stared at him angrily. Her patience was growing thin with this cocky slayer. She focused all of her attention on him and felt a little bit of satisfaction as he fell to the ground howling in pain. She took in the look of agony that swept over his face as the invisible hammers pounded into his body causing an unbearable hurt to spread through him. She smiled admirably at her work as the weak human twitched and flailed, trying to escape the power she possessed over him.

"Are you ready to tell me your choice now?" Jane urged as she held her agonizing stare.

"Yes." Adrian choked through a scream. "YES!"

"You father handle that much better than you. Even your mother didn't scream like that." Jane mocked as he leaned forward on his hands and knees, gasping for breath now that she'd released him. "Now, what is your answer?"

"Go to hell." Adrian mumbled.

"What?"

"Go to hell!" Adrian pushed himself into a shaky stance and pulled a long black pocket knife from his torn jeans. "Go to hell, you crazy, blood sucking, piece of…"

Jane slammed into him, sending him barreling backwards.
