Hey everyone! So I need to be forgiven about not having Drake when I said he would be starring…*looks up with a huge innocent look* Please FORGIVE ME *cries really loud* *Audience rolls their eyes* Maybe Drake's in it this time… This chapter is a bit dramatic…ANYWAY read and REVIEW!

Lana awoke at the sound of something slithering. Yes, slithering. She grabs her pistol. She heard the noise again. Please don't be Drake…

Lana works up the courage and says, "Who's there?" Laughter is the response she receives. "Drake?""How'd you know?" "Well, if you could quiet down the whip hand a bit, you'd be good and able to kill me in my sleep…which reminds me: you wouldn't do that."Drake laughs. "Yup, you got it.""But…the Darkness wouldn't be very happy, now would he, if you killed me."

"Probably not…I need to hear more screams." Drake replies back. He says it like hearing more screams is nothing. He smiles. "I already have an audience." Drake turns the lights on. (Lana was living in one of the few boathouses that there was.) Sanjit, Quinn, and Edilio are tied to chairs with gags in there mouths.

"How'd you get Quinn?" Lana asks, voice shaky.

"He was on his way to visit, weren't you Quinn?" Quinn nods. Drake laughs. "Let the show begin!" he says gleefully.

Drake begins whipping Lana over and over and over. Edilio somehow got out of his chair and his gag and is coming over to help Lana.

"NO!" she screams. Everyone looks confused. The whipping ceases for a moment. "No." Lana says more quietly. "Edilio, just go. Run. RUN! I can't let you get hurt by my faults again."

"I said I-" Edilio starts.

"You may have forgiven me, but I will never forgive myself." Lana says. Drake looks like he's about to puke, so he begins whipping Lana again.

"STOP!" Edilio screams.

"So, the Mexican cares about the Healer, correct?" "Honduran…" Edilio murmurs.

"So, if I whip her…" Drake whips Lana. Edilio winces. So do Quinn and Sanjit. "Ah-ha!" Drake says happily. "Ooh! I know just what to do!" Drake starts to whip Edilio.

"NO!" wails Lana.

Sanjit is saying something under his gag. His eyes are strangely calm. All of a sudden, green light breaks through the side of the boathouse. Sam!

"Hello, Sam! Now it's a party. We should bring this outside, no?" Sam is burning off Drake's whip arm. Drake

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH! What the hell do you think your doing?"

"Burning off your whip arm."

"PACK LEADER!" Pack Leader comes and begins to bite Edilio. Sam frees Sanjit and Quinn. Drake's whip arm is starting to grow back.

"Fall back!" Drake screams. Pack Leader and Drake run out of the boathouse.

"Edilio?" Lana says. He is lying in a bloody heap on the floor. Everyone walks over to him. Lana squats beside him and pulls the hair out of his face.

"Lana?" A small voice asks.

"Yes?" Lana is crying now.

"It's not your fault." Edilio is looking pale. She presses her fingers on the bite wounds first. They heal. Then, she heals the whiplashes.

"Sam?" she asks.

"Your gonna have to carry him to wherever he lives. He's lost a lot of blood…" Lana winces. Oh yeah…I have to heal myself… "I have to heal myself…"

"Okay." Sam says. "Hey Quinn, brah, help me out here." Quinn nods. He goes over and they carry Edilio out.

Do I love Edilio?
