Hey guys, once again, third person chapter… at least for now it is. But remember, I'll always put what person it is, should I decide to change it around a little.

*******

(Third Person)

Clu sighed, walking out of the house. She'd never understand, not in a million years. Peter was God to her, and nothing he could say or do would ever change that. Stopping, Clu looked around, at first not recognizing where he was. The trees looked darker now, and glancing up at the sky, Clu saw the sun going down. ' Great… just friggen great…'

" Very impressive performance Clu. I was moved… really, I was. Nice touch, adding that 'If she dies…' I'd rate it a nine." Brent smirked, causing Clu to jump. Clu narrowed his eyes, turning to face his tormentor. He tried to take deep breaths to calm himself down, but it didn't work, and soon Clu found himself lunging at the vampire.

 " You son of a bitch!!" He shouted, grabbing Brent's shirt. " You promised! YOU SWORE!!"

" Clu, Clu, buddy old pal-"

" Don't buddy ol' pal me Brent. You swore she wouldn't get hurt!"

" Correction, I swore Fiona wouldn't get hurt. Not Kat, or anyone else for that matter."

" You bastard." Clu growled, slamming Brent into the cement wall. " If she dies Brent… so help me God, I'll kill you myself."

" Aw, you just love that term don't you? Am I sensing feelings for a certain girl?"

" You know I don't have feelings for her Peter. God, why her?" He hissed, loosening his grip. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm down. That one second was all Peter needed, and Clu gasped as Peter grabbed his neck, tightening. Clu moved his hands towards his arms, trying to get him off of himself. Peter smirked, pushing Clu into the wall, causing the teen to wince as some of the loose cement fell to the ground in pebbles.

" Because you told her Clu." Peter hissed, his face an inch from Clu's own. " You broke your promise."

" You… hurt… her… because… I… broke-" Clu gasped, trying to pry the hands from his neck, which were slowly cutting off all of his oxygen.

" She wanted to tell Clu. She wanted to tell Carey, and Fi, and all of your friends. And I can't have that, now can I?" Peter laughed, shaking his head. " Maybe you'll finally learn your damn lesson and shut your damn mouth Clu."

" Fuck you." Clu spat.

" Sorry Clu, I don't swing that way…" Peter flashed him a grin. Clu's vision began to blur and he felt himself losing consciousness. " Don't worry buddy ol' pal… I'll take real good care of Fi for you."  Clu was about to give into the darkness when Peter let go of his throat, dropping him to the ground. Clu coughed, desperately taking in much needed air. He tried to stand, but sat, feeling dizzy. When he felt the dizziness pass he stood slowly, walking out of the forest.

" Fi…" he whispered.

*******

Carey sighed, looking at the sleeping figure in front of him. " C'mon dammit… wake up…" He whispered, looking at the girl. " Please? I need you to wake up Kat… things are so messed up right now and I don't know what to do- especially with Fiona and Clu fighting like cats and dogs…" Carey whispered, taking her hand. He gasped, feeling the girl squeeze his hand back. She let out a moan, and Carey looked at her excitedly. " C'mon… c'mon… open the eyes…" He coaxed. The girl, as if hearing his plea, opened her eyes, at first only a little, but then, after a few moments of blinking, she was able to open them fully.

" Hey stranger." Kat smiled at Carey tiredly, her voice not above a whisper.

" Hey… how do you feel?" Carey smiled, then reached over to the nightstand, handing her a glass of water.

After drinking a few sips of the water, she answered him. " Better." Kat said, moving her neck around, trying to get the kinks out.

" Good."

" Where's everyone?"

" Clu went to go find Peter… and the others are out."

" Clu went alone?" Kat asked, sitting up.

" Easy Kat!"

" I'm fine Carey, really." Kat shrugged, pulling the sheets off of her. Carey stared at the girl in awe, seeing the wound gone.

" How-"

" I'm a fast healer."

" You-"

" I'll tell you later Carey, right now, we have to go."

" I don't think this is our fight to meddle in…"

" It isn't. We're going to make sure nothing bad happens."

" Uh that doesn't-"

" You coming or not?" Kat sighed, pulling a sweater over her head.

" Fine." Carey sighed, allowing his girlfriend to lead the way.

(Fi's POV)

" Fucking prick… who the hell does he think he is? Why does he think that Peter's the bad guy all of a sudden?" I muttered, throwing rock after rock, trying to knock down a pinecone from the tree above my head. Somehow, after the blowout at the house, I had wound up here, in the middle of the woods, taking my anger out at the poor tree and pinecones.

" Fi! Hey, I've been looking all over for you!" Peter exclaimed running up to me. He sat down next to me, trying to catch his breath.

" Hey." I smiled weakly at my boyfriend.

" Are you ok?"

" Yeah, I'm fine."

" Worried about Kat?"

" Yeah… I'm sorry that Clu blamed you Peter…"

" It's ok Fi. I would have done the same thing if I were him. I mean Annie did say that a vampire attacked Kat…"

" Don't make excuses for him Peter. He's a jerk."

" I think he's just a tad jealous Fi."

" Jealous?"

" It's obvious he still cares for you."

" No he doesn't." I sighed, standing up.

" Sorry, didn't know it was a sore subject… Let's forget about Clu and go for a walk, ok?" Peter asked, standing as well. I nodded, allowing him to lead me towards the part of the woods that connected to the beach.

" It's so beautiful here Peter." I said, staring at the sky in awe.

" Just like you." Peter whispered in my ear and I felt my cheeks grow red.

" So… what's the special occasion?" I asked, turning around to look at him. This place was definitely too beautiful just to go for a 'walk.' " Why have you been so nice to me Peter? Have I forgotten something? I didn't forget our anniversary or-" I rambled, looking at him wide eyed.

" No Fi." Peter laughed. " It's nothing really… I just wanted to take you somewhere to forget about everything- you've been through a lot lately." Peter shrugged, smiling.

" Really." I grinned, taking his hands.

" Yeah." Peter shrugged. All of a sudden his face contorted in pain and he pulled away from me. " Fi…" He choked. I moved towards him, afraid Shane was attacking him.

" Peter what's wrong?"

" Fi get out of here." Peter gasped.

" What? No I'm not leaving you!"

" Please, get out of here Fi. I- I can't explain everything but Shane's coming…"

" How do you know-" I stammered, looking at him. " Let's go, come on." I said, pulling on his hand.

" No… Fi I can't go with you- he's in ME."

" What?" I hissed, looking into his eyes.

" He's been controlling me Fi… you've got to get away from me, I finally regained control of my body but he's too strong Fi… he's going to get control back soon." Peter whispered, wincing.

" I can't leave you." I whispered. " I won't leave you here alone."

" Then don't." Peter's voice turned cold and he grinned, looking at me. I gasped, seeing Peter's eyes glow.

" Peter?" I whispered, backing away from him. " Peter what are you doing?" Peter laughed, shrugging.

" Sorry… just, the look on your face…"

" Peter, where were you this afternoon?"

" With you."

" BEFORE you met me this afternoon Peter. Where did you go?" I asked, closing my eyes. Somewhere in my heart I knew the answer, but I was hoping I was wrong. I opened my eyes again, looking at Peter expectantly.

" I-" Peter started to say, but then stopped. His eyes began to glow again and he smiled. " So you're finally catching on Fi."

" Who are you?"

" Why Fi, I believe my brother just told you who I am."

" Shane? What are- why are you here?"

" So many questions." Peter laughed, walking towards me as I began to back away.

" Stay away from me."

" Fi, Fi, Fi. Where are you going?" Peter grinned. He stopped moving towards me but I kept moving away from him, looking for a way out of the woods. I found my escape route, then turned back to Peter.

" Away from you."

" But you CAN'T get away from me Fiona. Don't you KNOW that by now? You can never get away from me."

" Yes I can." I said, turning to run. I began to run through the woods until I hit something. I screamed, feeling someone's hands grab my shoulders.

" Fi?"

*******

(Clu's POV)

" Fi?" I asked, looking at the girl in front of me.

" Clu? Oh god… Peter- Shane took him over, he's controlling him and I think he's going to try to-"

" Shh… calm down Fi… just come with me, we'll get out of here." I said softly, taking her hand gently. I turned to lead her out of the woods but Peter appeared in front of me, grinning.

" Leaving so soon? You know, it's rude to just take my guests Clu."

" You can't have her." I said, glaring at him. I turned to Fiona, " Fiona, get out of here."

" I-"

" Fi, get out of here, I have this under control." I said, gently pulling her back until she was behind me.

" No. I'm not leaving you. I want to know what's going on."

" Fi, go." I sighed.

" I hate to interrupt this little, whatever you want to call it fest, but, well, I've got places to go, lives to ruin, you know, I'm a busy, busy man." Shane grinned and we both looked at him.

" I thought you couldn't come back here Shane."

" You really have to listen to your little will o' the wisp more carefully Fiona. He said I could come back, if I had a host body. And well, my brother was generous enough to volunteer himself."

" That's a fucking lie Shane." I growled. " He didn't want to and you know it."

" But it sounds so much nicer Clu." Peter grinned, reaching for Fiona. I slapped his hand away from her.

" You said you'd leave her out of it Shane. This is between us, don't bring her into it." I said, glaring at the vampire.

" Clu, Clu, Clu. When are you EVER going to learn? I never keep my promises." Peter laughed, me a grin. " Fresh blood… it's been so long…" He said, his eyes turning gold.

" Stay the hell away from her Peter." I growled. Peter laughed and reached out to Fi, but suddenly grabbed his chest.

" Help me…" Peter whispered, sinking to the ground.

" Peter?" Fiona whispered, looking at him in shock.

" Fi, you really have to get out of here. Now." I hissed, looking at her.

" No."

" Briccuru?" Fiona whispered.

" No." I whispered back. " Get out of here Fi, now. This isn't a game anymore, you can't be here."

" Oh my god…" Fiona whispered as Shane took form in front of us, smiling.

" No need for you anymore little bro." Shane grinned, looking down at Peter. He picked up his brother, throwing him far away.

" Oh god…" Fiona whispered. " Peter-"

" Hello there." Shane cut her off and I glared at him. " It seems we haven't been properly introduced. Fiona, I, am Shane."

" You son of a bitch." Fiona growled.

" Fi, calm down." I whispered, looking at her.

" No."

" Yes." I hissed.

" Good job Clu." Shane grinned at us and I rolled my eyes. " You know, I wasn't entirely sure if you'd pull it off, but you have. You led her right to me."

" What?" Fiona exclaimed, turning and looking at me.

" Fi-" I began but Shane cut me off.

" You honestly thought he was on your side, don't you Fiona?" Shane laughed, looking at Fi. " Ah, it is true, love is blind." He grinned. " Never did understand what they meant when they said that. But oh well, guess I do now. See, Fiona, your little love here, he's not really what you think." Shane explained, draping an arm around my shoulders.

" Shane. Stop it." I hissed.

" Why lie to her anymore Clu? I think she needs to know the truth, I mean she should know who the real person she's in love with shouldn't she?"

" Stop it."

" See Fiona, little old Clu isn't as innocent as he seems. And here, you thought he was trying to help you. But in reality… he wasn't." Shane grinned, shrugging. " You always were too naïve for your own good Fi… Thinking he actually wanted to help you- that he really loved you. I have to hand it to him, he is a good actor… I didn't think he'd pull it off." Shane laughed, watching Fiona's face crumple up, her eyes widening with tears.

" Fi… it isn't what you think." I stammered, looking at my friend. " You've got to believe me- I didn't want-"

" Is it true?" Fiona asked quietly.

" I didn't-"

" Is. It. True."

" Yeah." I whispered. " I was working for him. But I-"

" Shove it Clu." Fiona glared at me and returned her focus to Shane. " Why did you kill my father?"

" Fi, kill is such a strong word. I prefer even the odds."

" Whatever the hell you want to call it, why the hell did you fucking do it?" Fiona growled.

" Ouch, feisty. I love it." Shane laughed. " And you know the reason I had to kill him. You know I had to because he knew too much. Just like you do Fi."

" So what? Are you like the dark side's ugly little errand boy? Their little hit man?"

" So harsh Fi, really I don't know where all this aggression is coming from. The way I see it, I did you a favor. The man never saw you a lot."

" He was my father Shane." Fiona growled. " My fucking father. And you killed him, for no apparent reason."

" There you go again. I already told you the reason. God, don't go all Buffy on me, I only did my job. And now, I have another job to do, and I'd like to get it over with. I'm a busy person Fi." Shane grinned, moving towards Fiona. I quickly got between them, shoving Fiona behind me.

" Oh, what, now you think your gonna be Mr. Hero Clu? Newsflash, the good guy never wins." Shane grinned. " You should know by now Clu. I always get what I want."

" Fiona, listen to me. I want you to run ok? Run as fast and as far as you can go, and don't turn back." I  said calmly.

" Hell no."

" Fi, he'll kill you." I exclaimed.

" There are worse things." Fiona said, her voice bitter. I sighed and shook my head.

" Fi, be pissed at me later. Right now, listen to me and run. I know Kat and my brother are around here, get back them."

" I-" Fiona stammered.

" Fiona, I can keep him busy. Just run. C'mon, just pretend it's practice for soccer… Shane's defense and the others are the goal…  Go get everyone, and I promise, I'll be with you guys soon. I started this mess, and I've gotta finish it." I whispered, looking at her.

" Don't do anything stupid Clu…" Fiona said softly.

" It's too late for that." I retorted. " Now get out of here…" I hissed and Fiona nodded, slowly backing away.

" Tsk, Tsk… Fi you weren't thinking of leaving the party were you?" Shane laughed, grabbing her arm.

" Let her go." I growled, tackling Shane. " Go Fi, get out of here."

" I'll bring help Clu, I promise." Fiona whispered, running as fast as she could.

" Very stupid move Clu… very stupid." Shane muttered, pushing me off of him. " Never thought you'd go soft on me, such potential. Oh well." He shrugged, throwing me into a tree. I stood up slowly, glaring at him as I brought my arm to my chest.  " Now stay here. The parties just beginning Clu, and I know you won't want to miss what I have in store next."
