Adam and Gabby entered the house just as the sound of a gun being fired filled the air. They looked up the steps and then both took off running. At the top of the steps they entered the room, Adam grabbed Gabby and shoved her behind him when his eyes landed on Marc standing in the middle of the room with Shawn and Ally at his feet. "No," he whispered.

The slight sound caused Marc to spin around to face the direction that it had come from, he growled low in his throat. Adam looked at Marc and then back at the to people at his feet, he lost it and then lunged for Marc but was caught up short when Marc reached out and grabbed him by the throat.

Marc held Adam suspended in the air and turned around with his back to the door. "I see some one decided to come home," Marc said with a laugh. "Fuck you, Marc," Adam said shoving at Marc's grip trying to get loose. "Ha-ha-ha, funny Adam, but you know what. You should have stayed away because just like Shawn you'll die now too," Marc said tightening his grip on Adam choking him.

"No fuck you Marc," Gabby said raising the gun that she had picked up off the floor. Marc dropped Adam and turned toward her. "Gabriella, I'm surprised," Marc said walking toward her. "And what do you plan to do with that," he said taking another step toward her. "Kill you," Gabby said with hate dripping from her mouth. "You know what Gabby I'm tired of this little game," Marc said taking another step toward her. "No Marc I'm tired, say hello to Satan for me asshole," Gabby said as she pulled the trigger sending a bullet straight into Marc's chest. Marc stumbled back and then took another step toward her. Gabby fired again this time hitting him square between the eyes.

Gabby didn't move as the big man fell at her feet. Adam jumped up from the floor racing over to her. "Gabby it's ok now, he's dead, you can put the gun down," Adam said covering her hand that was holding the gun with his, he gently pushed down helping her to lower the gun. Gabby turned her head toward Adam and blinked, "He's dead," she said staring at the gun as she let it slip from her grip to fall on the floor. "Yes he's dead," Adam said pulling her into an embrace.

Gabby rested her head against his chest for second before jerking back as she heard someone come up behind them. Turning she saw Jason standing before her. Jason growled and shoved both of them, knocking Gabby and Adam down. Adam sprang to his feet quickly, grabbing Jason he shoved him across the room toward the balcony doors.

Jason fell to the floor and slid across it. Jumping to his feet quickly he didn't have enough time to protect himself before Adam speared him through the class doors of the balcony.

Gabby stood and began to walk toward her friend's body lying on the floor, "Ally," she said as she got closer.

Adam straddled Jason landing blow for blow on the man that had started this by pulling Gabby and Ally into the web of the ministry. Jason shoved Adam off him and stumbled to his feet. He didn't spare a moment he quickly launched himself at Adam shoving him against the balcony rail.

Gabby fell to her knees beside Ally. She looked from Shawn and then back at Ally, "No," she whispered.

Adam fought Jason off as he tried to shove him over the rail. Adam turned the tables on Jason quickly knocking him back into the railing. Jason brought up his fist and hit Adam in the face. Adam stumbled back a few steps before stopping. "Looks like you can't beat me, and you know what," Jason said. "What," Adam spit at him. "Once I kill you, me and Gabby are going to have such a lovely time. You know she screams beautifully," Jason said with a sadistic laugh. Adam felt his anger wash over him and he ran toward Jason clothes lining him with his forearm knocking Jason over the rail. Jason slammed into the ground below and Adam stood looking down at him for a second before turning and heading back into the room where he found Gabby sitting on the floor.

Gabby pulled Ally's head into her lap, and rubbed the hair from her face. She could her the music playing in the background from the radio. "Ally don't do this god damnit," Gabby yelled at her friend. Ally opened her eyes and looked at her friend

Playground school bell rings again,

Rain clouds come to play again,

"Gabby, you're here," She said faintly. "Yes Ally I'm here," Gabby replied letting the tears fall down her face. "I'm ready to go home," Ally said before closing her eyes and taking her last breath. "NO ALLY NO," Gabby said sobbing loudly. "WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYY," Gabby screamed crying out in agony as she leaned over her friend's lifeless body.

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to

Hello

"AAALLLLYYY, PLEASE COME BACK TO ME," Gabby screamed holding onto her friend. She cried hard letting the misery wash over her body. "PLEASE GOD FIX HER, DON'T TAKE HER," Gabby yelled at the top of her lungs looked up. She slumped holding Ally's head crying she felt like her heart was shattering into a million pieces.

If I smile and don't believe,

Soon I know I'll wake from this dream,

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken,

Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide,

Don't cry,

The music mixed with Gabby's cries. Adam closed the distance between him and Gabby and knelt down beside her he wrapped his arms around her as she cried. It was like her soul was dying. Adam didn't say a word he just held her.

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping,

Hello I'm still here,

All that's left of yesterday.

Adam sat with Gabby in his arms letting her sob. What could he say? Adam let tears fall from his eyes, silently he cried holding her. He cried for her, Ally, and Shawn.

And that's how they sat, with Adam holding Gabby and Gabby holding Ally's dead body. Shawn lay in front of them.

All of them the victim of one man's wicked and twisted soul……..
