Serena's eyes widened as his finger touched the trigger. "Serena you can't die like this. You have to fight back no matter what." She kicked him in his jewels and he grunted in pain, dropping the gun.

"Ah my God. You stupid whore." Dexter bellowed. Serena got up and ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She had to get as far away as possible. "GET BACK HERE!" Dexter yelled. "YOU BITCH!"

Serena continued running. She kept tripping over her shoelaces but she wouldn't stop. She couldn't stop. Panic was overtaking her. Suddenly she heard gunshots behind her. It was Dexter and he was aiming at her.

Andrew jumped out of the car as they reached the mill. "Did you guys hear that? It's gunshots."

" Do you think that they might be shooting Serena? What if we're too late?" Mina panicked. "No Mina don't say things like that. We have to find out where they're coming from. Andrew you stay here and be on the lookout for Ray." Darien replied "No problem." Andrew responded. Darien ran up the hill as he followed the sound of gunshots. He hoped that he wasn't to late to save Serena. He just couldn't stand losing her.

Serena fell to the ground scraping her hands. She looked up and there was Dexter. "You thought you were slick eh?" He grabbed Serena's hair and breathed heavily against her cheek. "Your sick you bastard." Serena hissed. "Why thank you I've never had such a nice compliment before." Dexter laughed harshly. He placed the cold barrel of the gun against Serena's cheek. "It's such a shame that I've have to get rid of such a pretty face." "Why are you doing this to me? Just let me go." Serena pleaded.

"I didn't have a reason to kill you then but I do now." Dexter replied. "And you know why? Because you misbehaved." Dexter smacked Serena across the face with the gun. "But I want to make your death slow and miserable." Serena's eyes widened. "Somebody help me please!" Dexter laughed. "We're the only one's here. Nobody's going to save you. So save your breath. You're going to need it."

"It was her Darien it's coming from that way." Mina pointed. Darien ran in the direction Mina pointed out. He was scared now. What if they were… killing her? Killing her slowly. No he wouldn't imagine it. He couldn't imagine it. "Darien we'll get to her right?" Mina asked as she ran beside him. Darien nodded.

Ray drove up to the mill to find Andrew's car already parked there. "Shit! I'm late." Ray jumped out of her car and began to run up the hill a revolver in her hand. "Where are you going Ray?" Andrew shouted.

Ray turned around to face him. "Andrew I suggest you stay out of this. It's none of your freaking business." Ray hissed. "Your sick Ray. Why are you like this? You have an obsession." Andrew replied. "Andrew like I said this is none of your concern. Just be aware that for Darien I'll do anything. Anything. Now I don't want to have to hurt you so just stay out of the way." Ray warned and she climbed up the hill. Andrew was slowly following her. He wouldn't let Ray commit the murder that would affect everyone's lives.

Dexter threw Serena across the ground like a rag doll. She was bleeding badly from her arms and face. "I'll make you bleed your last drop of blood." Dexter laughed. Serena struggled to stand but fell back down to the floor. "You can't…do this." Serena whispered. "I can do as I please. I'm the killer here not you." Dexter shouted. He grabbed Serena and lifted her up by her hair. He began to strangle her. "Die slowly. Feel your life fading. Know that your life is in my hands now bitch. MY HANDS!"

Serena grabbed his arms frantically. She was trying to gasp for air. She was going to die. It was all over for her.

Darien spotted Serena. The guy was choking her. Her eyes were wide in panic. "Let her go!" Darien shouted. Dexter dropped Serena and looked over at Darien. "So you're the famous Darien Shields. You came to watch your lover die?" "Let her go I said." Darien ordered. "I can't it's my orders to murder Serena. And I never disobey orders." Dexter laughed. Serena tried to crawl over to Darien but Dexter kicked her in the ribcage. "SERENA!" Mina cried out. Darien ran to tackle Dexter and they both stumbled down to the ground. Mina took the chance to run over to Serena.

"Serena are you okay?" Mina whispered. She wiped away a bloody strand of hair from Serena's face. Serena struggled to stand. "Mina… help Darien. Grab the gun." Serena whispered. Mina looked to the side of her and found the gun laying there. She grabbed it and cocked it back as the gun reloaded. "Hey asshole over here." Mina shouted. Suddenly there was another gunshot and it whizzed by Mina's arm. "Aaahh." Mina shouted and dropped the gun. "Mina move away from Serena now!" Ray warned. She pointed the gun right at Mina.

"Ray?" Darien said in shock. "Yes Darien. You didn't believe me when I said that I'd kill Serena. She's interfering with our love. Your mine and only mine can't you understand." Ray said tearfully. "Ray your insane you need help." Darien replied. "NO! I need you. That's all I need. Can't you understand. I'm doing this all for you." Darien stood up. "If you love me Ray let me be happy. My happiness is beside Serena." "No! I can't allow that. If you don't love me then you can't love anyone else." Ray pointed the gun at Serena.

"Ray if you want to shoot me go ahead. You're so selfish. I can't believe that you'd kill me to force Darien to love you. You've already gone through all the trouble of kidnapping me so finish me off then. Go ahead!" Serena shouted. "What? Are you crazy Serena? I'm not going to let her." Darien ran over to her. "Darien. I love you." Serena touched his face softly. "Why are you trying to do this? I can't give you up. I love you Serena."

"No get off of her Darien!" Ray screamed. She went to pull the trigger but was tackled down by Andrew. The gun went off. "Ahhh." Serena shouted. "Serena! SERENA!" Darien shouted. The tears began to form in his eyes as Serena slipped from his arms.
