Suze's POV:
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, LETTING PAUL COME BACK TO THIS SCHOOL?!" I screamed.

I was pissed. No, I was beyond pissed. I mean, did Father Dom secretly want me to die? Maybe he pretended to be nice, but subconsciously, he wanted Paul to off me.

"Susannah, please calm down-" Father Dom started to say.

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!" I yelled again. "Father D, HE WAS ARRESTED! HOW CAN HE EVEN BE BACK HERE?"

"His grandfather posted bail." Father Dom said simply. "I tried everything, but since none of this happened on school grounds, I have no choice."

I swore. Pretty badly because Father Dom looked like I'd just put a red- hot poker through his heart. "Susannah! Language!" I glared at him and laid down on the couch on my side, drawing my legs up. "I'm going to fall asleep, and when I wake up, this will all be a bad dream. Except Jesse will still be alive, because that's the only good part about the last week or so." I said quietly.

Jesse sat down next to me and pulled me into his lap. He started playing with my hair and said, "Querida, it will be alright. You forget, I'm here to protect you."

I sighed. Nothing seemed to go right anymore.

"Uh, I hate to break up this moment between you...But I believe I know why Jesse has suddenly come back to life." Father Dom said, dragging me out of my depressing state.

"Ok, shoot Father D." I said, not moving.

Father Dom looked uncomfortable. "I wish you both had told me this. Between you two, exists a love so pure that nothing can ever destroy it. Once that love was consumated, by, er, physical means, Jesse became alive. No spell or potion did this, as I had originally thought. It was simply a reward from those who control the Cosmos."

"Are you telling me, that because Jesse and I slept together, and have, like, the purest love known to man, he became alive?" I asked, incredulously. I lifted my head to get a better look at Father Dom.

"Well...yes." Father Dom said.

"Cool." I said, putting my head back down on Jesse lap. My hair fell into my face, but Jesse tucked it behind my ear. Suddenly, everything didn't seem so bad. I mean, yes, Paul was around AGAIN, and he would probably try to kill me again, and I still didn't know WHY, and I had to deal with Doc being pissed at me for keeping him awake, and CeeCee was gonna ream me later about missing the stupid meeting, but it didn't seem so bad. I mean, it was stuff I could totally deal with. Later, though. For now, I just wanted to lie here in Jesse's arms.

Father Dom let us lie there for awhile before he made us go to class. I got up, linked hands with Jesse, and we walked down the hall to go to class. For a second everything was perfect.

And then it all ended so quickly...

Jesse's POV:
Susannah and I left Father Dominic's office happy. We started walking to our first period trigonometry class, and I began thinking about the ring I now had hidden my pocket. I was going to ask Susannah to marry me later that day. After the night we'd had, I knew it could not wait. Susannah smiled at me as we neared the classroom, and for one crazy moment, I considered asking her right there.

Just as I was about to reach for the ring, a shot rang out. In the empty halls of the Mission, everything echoes.

The smile my Susannah had been wearing now turned to a look of horror as she touched her stomach...Drawing back blood.

She collapsed in my arms, and we sunk to the floor. I held my querida, calling out for help. Doors sprung open, and Adam rushed over. "Call 911!" I yelled. He obliged.

Susannah was still alive. She blinked up at me. "Jesse?" Susannah whispered. "Jesse...I love you." She practically choked out the words.

"Querida...I love you." She nodded, and closed her eyes. "No! Querida, you mustn't close your eyes!" If she closed her eyes, then she may never open them again!

The ambulance arrived. The people who got out put my Susannah on a stretcher, and kindly let me ride with them. Before I could get out there, Adam came running up to me. "It was Paul. They've got him in Father Dom's office." he told me. Adam was pissed as hell, as Susannah would say.

I swallowed. "Adam, call her parents, and let her brothers know. Especially Jake." I said. This did not seem real..."And then, deliver this message to Paul: Tell him to start saying his goodbyes." Adam nodded, and I ran to the ambulance. We raced to Carmel General Hospital. I prayed the entire time, hoping it was not too late....

DON'T HATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As Paul said in Hypnotised By Evil, "There's more than meets the eye..."
