It's been rather interesting hear a few guesses as to what might happen in this chapter. None have (so far) been correct. It was originally kind of obvious but during the shower (pretty much my ONLY source of inspiration) I came up with this idea.

Anyway, I think I've made you all suffer enough . . .

Seconds passed and Toby still felt no pain. A clattering noise filled his ears and he opened his eyes to see Damien struggling to stand, one hand over a gaping wound in his chest. Toby stared as Damien fell to his knees, coughed up blood and desperately tried to stop the blood flowing from his chest wound.

Finally Toby was able to move again as he pushed himself up into a sitting position and a figure in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned to look at them and his jaw dropped.

Standing on the platform was Rocky with the gun he'd given to Cece in her hands. "Rocky . . ." he croaked. A shocked look slowly rose on her face.

"I-I shot him, I w-was only t-tr-trying to s-save you." she stuttered, the gun falling from her hands.

Cece walked up from behind Rocky and pulled her into a reassuring hug, trying to calm the distressed girl. Rocky chocked on her words and let out a sob. She'd never caused anyone physical pain before, any emotional pain was purely an accident. Cece simply whispered comforts to the taller girl and rubbed her back slightly.

Toby looked away, not wanting to intrude on the girls tender moment, and rose unsteadily to his feet. He slowly made his was over to Damien, who was struggling to breathe, and picked up the gun the demon had dropped.

"You shouldn't have been so cocky Damien." he said before turning back to the girls behind him.

I had been in a daze. First Damien kissed me, which I slapped him for, then Toby literally jumped out of nowhere and Cece had grabbed me by the arm, leading me over to the stairs. We had gotten about halfway up the stairs before I snapped out of my daze.

"Cece, wait!" I cried,"What's going on?" Cece turned to me.

"Damien's a demon. Toby's a hunter going to kill him." her face was expressionless.

"Just because he's a demon? That's not right! What did Damien do to deser-"Cece interrupted, her voice quickly escalated from calm to troubled

"He was going to take you as his mate. That's why he's taken such a damn interest in you. He was gonna take you away and I would have been left here! I wouldn't have been able to stand that because I . . . I . . ." she let out a distressed noise and looked away. I felt my heart break a little at how upset Cece was. I stepped closer to my red headed best friend.

"Cece, I-" I was interrupted yet again, this time by a loud crashing. We looked over and saw a small amount of smoke rising from the subway station. Cece bit her lip.

"He needs help" was all she said before pulling a gun from her pocket. I stared in shock.

"Wh-why do you have a gun?"

"Toby gave it to me in case he needed help" she informed me before running back down the stairs. I followed and we got down just in time to see Damien hurl something at the back of Toby's head, sending him over the edge of the platform and onto the tracks. Damien slowly walked over and I felt my anger rise.

I grabbed the gun from Cece and made my way over to Damien. He was standing over Toby, who was doing nothing but stare, and was raising a gun of his own. I did the only thing I could think of at that moment in time.

I pulled the trigger.

Which is why I now find myself sobbing in the arms of my best friend, shocked at what I'd done.

As Toby looked over the the girls, he briefly wondered if Cece had told Rocky about her feelings yet then leaned against the platform and gasped in pain as he accidentally put weight on his injured arm and wrist.

Cece looked down at the injured hunter nearby as he recovered from the pain. He looked up at the red haired dancer.

"Take her out of here" he mouthed. Cece nodded faintly and pulled away from Rocky ever so slightly.

"C'mon Rocks" she said "Let's get some fresh air yeah?" Rocky sniffed and nodded before allowing Cece to lead her away.

Toby waited until the duo disappeared from view before looking over to the near dead demon. "You played well" he said, watching Damien attempt to stand "But you didn't play well enough."

He pulled out a small black object and threw it near Damien then pulled himself over the platform, gritting his teeth while he did so, and followed Rocky and Cece's footsteps. As he got the the stairs, he pulled out a small remote and pushed the button, running up them as a beeping noise started.

He sprinted over the the girls, who were halfway down the road already and pulled them into a nearby alley. A loud 'KABOOM' filled the partially silent night, flames licked the night sky and alarms were going off left right and centre.

"Please tell me you had nothing to do with that." Cece said. Toby simply offered a shy smile and said nothing.

Cece, Rocky and Toby walked into Cece's apartment a short while later, Georgia rushed over to them "Are you okay? Did you hear about that explosion?" she asked frantically

"Mom, we're okay! Well, Toby's a bit banged and bruised" Cece said

"It's true!" Toby piped in, clutching his injured arm with the other.

"Wait, Toby? Who's Toby?" Georgia inquired.

"I'm Toby! I'm here for work experience at Rocky and Cece's school. I got in a bit of an accident on the way home. Could I get a lift to the hospital please?" the hunter informed and asked.

"Uh sure, Cece you're coming to. Rocky dear, you should probably head home."

"Sure" Rocky said, quickly hugging Cece and made her way out of the window and up the fire escape.

Georgia grabbed her car keys and her and the kids made their way back downstairs and into the car.

"Now" Georgia said, turning in her seat "Tell me the full story."
