Danny ran up to Allyson cursing under his breath. "No, no, no, Ally you can't die," Danny cried falling to his knees beside her in the sand. He held her hand over her cut and focused all his energy to heal her. Yet nothing happened.

"Some wrong Danny?" Max asked teasingly. Danny turned sharply around and glared at Max.

Placing Allyson tenderly on the ground Danny stood up and screamed at Max at the top of his lungs, "I SWEAR if you DON'T HEAL HER RIGHT NOW, I'll MAKE SURE YOU REGRET EVER coming into our lives."

Max shook his head saying softly, "Danny, Danny, you are not really in position to burgeon with me at the moment and if you give me what I want and I'll heal your girlfriend…"

"Yeah right," Jackson said from beside Melissa's side. Max glanced at Jackson saying, "The choice is yours Danny."

"Go to Hell Max," Danny said through clenched teeth.

"Well you have better make the choice soon, because she won't life much longer to live," glancing at his watch, "I'd say about a half an hour is left…I'll be waiting for you're answer, from BOTH of you."

With that he disappeared. Jackson glanced at Danny, for once fear was expressed on his face. "What are we going to do?" H asked quietly, glancing at Allyson.

Danny shook his head and cursed at the sky. Jackson watched in silence nit even able to dream what Danny was going though.

Just then he heard a moan from beside him. Turning he saw Melissa starring up at him with a confused look on her face. "Jackson, what's going on?" Mel asked softly when she saw the tears in his eyes.

"Danny get Abby's knife, Mel's awake," Jackson cried as he tried to sit Mel up.

Danny ran, got the knife and cut Melissa loose. Jackson hugged Melissa tightly as if she was his life line and he would die if he let go.

Melissa hugged him back, but glanced over at Danny and saw his sadness, fear and augur in his eyes. "Danny what's wrong?" She began to ask, but she was stopped by Lex running up and hugging her tightly.

"Mel, I was so scared…who was that guy?" Lex asked his voice close to tears. Melissa hugged him tightly to her as Jackson patted his back.

It was then that Lex noticed Allyson lying on the ground. "What happened to her?" he asked gently as he pushed away from Melissa to get a better look.

Danny sighed saying, "….that guy Lex…he …he cut Ally's neck….an there's no way to stop the bleeding, unless…" he broke unable to finish as he starred down at Allyson.

Lex could see his pain and he walked up to Danny asking, "Unless what Danny?"

"Unless we give that monster what he wants and we have give him our choice in a half an hour and…" Jackson's voice trailed off as he wrapped his arms around Melissa.

Danny stood up and kicked some sand and stomped off towards the beach. On one followed him.
