"You killed me." Cassie stared defiantly at Ella as she stood before her in one of the many dark corridors at Medenham. "In my dreams. I didn't sleep for days because every time I closed my eyes I saw you slitting my throat, just like you did to the doctor."

Ella didn't look remotely intimidated by the young woman in front of her. "Malachi wasn't the only one who needed to die was he?" Cassie's voice was small and vulnerable as she spoke. Her eyes were still tear stained from watching her son be slain by the woman facing her.

Ella's gaze dropped for a moment before her hand reached out and tightly grasped Cassie's throat pushing her against a nearby wall. "The child should never have been born. In five hundred years of trying Azazeal has never been able to have his child and then you came along and he was able to impregnate you. You're the first one that was strong enough to carry the emotional and physical drain of Azazeal and his child. I admire that." Ella whispered in her ear. "I respect you, but no, Malachi will not be the only one to die."

Ella pulled away slightly so her lips were hovering beside Cassie's "It will be quick I promise." Cassie nodded causing her lips to brush against Ella's. Ella's grip on Cassie's throat was released and she tucked a stray strand of hair behind Cassie's ear before stroking her cheek. "I wish we had met under different circumstances. I am truly sorry."

"Tell Thelma I'm sorry for everything I've put her through and I love her." Ella nodded and took the other girl's lips as her hand moved up from her side. The cut was quick and deep. Cassie merely whimpered as her legs turned to lead weights and she began to sink to the ground. Ella cradled her in her arms as she began to lose consciousness.

"Goodbye Cassie."
