A/N: It's over folks...Thanks for reviewin'

Chapter 33: Personal

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another... it's one damn thing over and over.

Groups of vampires spill from a stairwell, armed with automatic rifles, they open fire and Abigail was forced to retreat into an alcove. She was pinned down. She groped around for any stakes. "Shit." She cursed. Time to do it the old fashioned way.

Abigail withdrew a silver arrow with a time-delay explosive tip from her quiver, nocks it in her bow and takes aim at her target. It whizzes past ashes crackling and popping like campfire embers, sinking into the target's chest. She fires again.

For Hedges.

And again…

For Dex.

And again…

For Sommerfield.

The young vampire screamed, grabbing the shaft and trying to rip it off but it was too late…the arrowhead explodes, catching half the vampires with the full force of a UV blast. Through the ash, she could see a figure running up the stairwell, he looked down at all the ashen remains and glanced over to Abby before racing out another door.

Caulder.

She rushed after him. She couldn't just let him go. Why would he do this to them, anyway? Why would he betray them? He had always been so nice…so wonderful…he was there. He helped them defeat Drake.

'People change Abby,' King said, only a few days ago…back when Caulder was still pretty much the same…back when she had trusted him. 'An Ape changes. You know, ape to man? Yeah. Kind of like that. 'Cept Caulder will always remain an ape.'

Fuck, since when did she get so fucking stupid?
King was right. He had always been right. Why couldn't she just take ten fucking minutes off her day to listen?

More vampires charges at her, keeping her distracted long enough so that Ape-boy could escape. Abigail planted her heel in one of 'em bastard's face, smashing in his nose. A shadow moves behind her, she could sense it.

She spins and elbows him in the throat. Dropping her bow, she pivots and reaches behind her, removing a crescent-shaped device secured to her back. She held the crescent in the center, the curve pointing away from her. The device extends from either end, telescoping outward into a three-foot long metal arc. Connecting the two ends of the arc is a powerful laser. Rot in hell bastards…

Abigail swings the arc, slashing it through the vampire's mid-section like a fucking cheese cutter. She surveys her work like an artist admiring theirs and ran down the hallway. She knew she couldn't catch him now.

Be smart, Abigail, she reminded herself, Don't blow it.

A window to the right exploded as the room is enveloped in flames. The front door opens- a truly weird sight -A little girl's head was nestled between King's collarbone and his neck, one hand wrapped around her protectively, the pump action shot gun in the other.

King calmly walks out as flames shot out of the roof. Son of a bitch set the place on fire. Peek-a-boo, I see you…
He cocked the action, ejecting the previously loaded shell. Loading the chamber with a live round, he pointed it skywards and pulled the trigger.

He lowered it and started to walk away. Banks of windows blow outwards, fire roils, brick walls crumble, raining debris everywhere. Behind him, a screaming, burning man fell to the ground. Seventy vampires…Not bad for a man carrying a little girl in his arms…

King cocked his head to the side as he busily loaded the gun with another live round. A vampire- day walker -ran up behind him, raising his gun--

BAM!

King looked up, eyes widened. He slowly turns around to see…..

Whistler standing by the doorway, all battered up, panting. She lowered her gun as she slowly made her way towards him. King looked her up and down. "You look horrible."

"You look repulsive yourself, you dumbass."

Another explosion.

King, in haste, then secures the action shotgun in his back scabbard. "Hey…Abby."
She was just about take a break--- just to catch her breath. She smiled, knowing they were safe for a while, "Yeah?"
"Um…" King stammered before running off, "Run!"

Alarmed, she hurried after him. "You Assh--"
But she was interrupted by a bigger explosion. Next thing she knew, she was eating dirt with King only an arm's length away…

Okay...When King says "It'll be all right...you're safe." while putting a a bomb somewhere...she shouldn't listen.

Abby coughed and spat on the dirt, she saw a pair of legs in front of her. Looking up, she shrieked, which made King groan. "Abby…Now we're safe."

"Not for long you ain't." said an oh-so familiar voice. King looked up and his eyes widened.

"…What the fuck did you do to my Ferrari?"

"Spence." King breathed. "Oh thank god…" he whined. "It is you…"
Kasumi came up behind him. Abby and King hauled themselves up. The first thing Abby did was an unexpected one- she ran over and jumped on Spence, hugging him. "Oh my god. Your alive. Your alive. Your alive!" She thanked the lord for his kindness. If he hadn't been alive, after this, it wouldn't be a victory...it'd be a loss...a loss of a very good friend.

All four were looking at the building…Each with their own thoughts. Kasumi stared as swirling flames danced around it. Spence spoke out, shaking his head, hand on his abdomen. "Don't even look at it, Kasu."

King took one last look at the building and wrapped a hand around Abby's shoulder, leading her away. "Come on…" he looked away. "Let's get out of here. I'm pretty sure we can steal another Ferrari."

Kasumi turned away and so did Spence. They walked back towards the abandoned town…with the vampires gone, it wouldn't be abandoned for long…if the vampires were gone.

Spence paused and looked back over his shoulder---

"Spence!" Kasumi yelled after him. "You moron! Get back here!"
Unable to go back in there, she stayed back with the others. "Ugh!" she screamed in rage. "That stubborn, arrogant, stupid son of a bitch!"

What the fuck was he thinking! The place was going to burn into cinders in a matter of minutes!

A loss of a pain in the ass friend...

She smiled. She had loved him ever since she saw him...Feisty son of a bitch, that one. Not to mention, good looking. But the only problem was, she still loved him.That was the same reason on why she killed his daughters...his son...and his wife.
And now, he finally got the fucking picture.Let him come...

Bring it on.

Okay, so i lied. It's NOT over...
