A/N: The answer to your questions: What WILL she do with the ring? But, being the evil Shonda poser I am, I've split it into 2 parts. Enjoy!!!

Chapter 9, Part One: Satan's Gift

Meredith and Christina were playing "Would You Rather?" when Callie, George, and Alex came in.

"Hey guys, shift's over in 5 minutes. Wanna head over to Joe's?" asked Alex.

Sounds of general agreement were heard from the crowd.

5 minutes later, all of them were in jeans and jackets and heading out to the parking lot. They were laughing and talking, but each one of them was thinking about their own problems and Izzie, who wasn't there to join them.

They were about halfway to their cars when they heard a call.

"Meredith!"

They all turned around.

"Satan at 12 o'clock," whispered Alex as he and the others rushed off.

Addison caught up to Meredith. "I wanted to give you something. Here," she said as she placed a tiny object into Meredith's hand.

Meredith took one look at the ring, and Addison's bare finger. "What...Why...No, it's yours," she said, trying to give it back.

"Yes, it's mine, but I want you to have it. I don't want it anymore."

"Um..." Meredith felt so uncomfortable. "Ok...thanks."

Addison nodded, and turned to walk away.

"Wait," Meredith said. Addison turned around. "We...Callie, George, Alex, Christina, and I...are going to Joe's. Would you like to come?"

"Yeah," Addison said, "I would."

"Okay," Meredith said. "You go. I'll be there in a minute. There's one more thing I have to do."

She turned and walked back to the hospital.

"What do you think she's going to do to her?" asked George worriedly. They had been sitting at Joe's for almost 15 minutes, and Meredith wasn't there yet.

Christina looked at Callie. "Does he know?" she asked.

"No."

"What don't I know? Tell me! I want to know what you know!" said George.

"O'Malley, chill. It's nothing that concerns you. Just Mer. And Satan."

"What? Tell me! Why am I always the last one to know everything around here?" he sighed.

Alex looked at Callie and Christina. "You think she'll hurt her?"

Just then, Addison walked into the bar. Alone.

"Oh my God," whispered George. "Satan killed Meredith."

"Shut up, baby," snapped Christina.

"I bet that she's done this before," whispered Alex. "She can probably make a body disappear without a trace."

"Shut up," said Callie, irritated. "She's coming."

"I bet she sets them on fire...with her eyes," Alex continued.

"No," responded George, "her hair. It's gotta be the hair."

Addison took a seat beside them. One look told her everything.

"No, I did not kill Meredith," she sighed, pushing her hair out of her face. "And my power isn't in my eyes or hair. It's here." She held up a hand with long, ruby nails on long fingers. George and Alex scooted back.

While Addison ordered a drink, Callie leaned over and whispered in George's ear. His expression changed from confusion to shock to anger to shock to confusion in a matter of seconds.

"No," he whispered, "seriously?"

"Seriously," said Callie.

"Where are you, Meredith?" George whispered.

Dun dun dun...
Ah, the next big question: What is Mer going to do? Any guesses? I bet you know!
