AN- To answer Beth Palladino, thank you for wonderful comments! I looked back and I did notice that everything moved waay to fast… Seriously, if I were in her place I'd run the heck out of there, go find a nunnery and commit myself to god. But I will try and slow things down a bit, and make my chapters longer. On with the show!

The dawn found Ruth and Lane cuddling in bed. Or rather, Ruth was snuggled against Lane (with clothes on, silly filthy minded people), and Lane was lying on his back, unable to even hold Ruth with his arms.

He stared down at the top of her head, furious that he couldn't move without his angel's help. That instead of protecting and caring for his love, he was the weak one. That alone made him burn with anger at his stupid human body.

She must've felt his breathing change, because she lifted her eyes to meet his loving gaze.

"Are you hungry?" She asked. He nodded, and she crawled out of the bed to get him some breakfast.

He grunted loudly to get her attention before she left the room. Ruth turned around, and he mouthed the words, I love you, before giving her his best smile.

Emily was ecstatic! She'd found the mansion without a map! She eagerly dragged Caleb behind her while she raced through the last part of the woods. Finally she reached the trees nearest to the door, and made Caleb crouch down beside her behind a bush. "Now, we need to take them by surprise. If she's broken the curse, then Lane's pretty much useless because I forgot to mention to him that he'd need to relearn everything he'd ever been taught to do. So therefore, we split up, and kill anyone who gets in our way. Then we'll grab Ruth, let Lane watch her die, and then kill Lane. Got it?"

"Got it." Caleb answered, giving her a very passion filled kiss. He'd never heard his lover sound so smart, and it turned him on.

They ran into the mansion, and then split up. Caleb went North and his first victim was Wendy. She'd been taking fresh clothes to Ruth's room, and never saw Caleb coming. With one pop, Wendy crumpled to the ground, a bullet lodged in her head.

Emily was the one to find Ruth. She grabbed Ruth by the wrist, and twisted the bone until it snapped. Then she hit Ruth on the head with the butt off the gun, causing Ruth to pass out.

Emily dragged the lifeless Ruth to the place she assumed Lane was, and met up with Caleb on the way. Together they busted down the door.

Lane's eyes shot open from their half-closed state. There was his worst nightmare; Emily held Ruth with a gun to her head, and some kid he didn't even know was also pointing a gun to Ruth's head.

"Say goodbye to your lover, Lane." Emily said with a malicious glimmer in her eyes.
