Hey, everyone. Thanks for the reviews Sorry, I forgot to specify that this is after LIES. A few months after. Thanks to those of you who asked. Anyway, this continues soon after I left off in Chapter One. I hope you enjoy.

Caine stared at Sam, smirking.

"I knew you had it in you."

Sam looked around him. He saw all the dead bodies. Burned bodies. He recognized some of their faces. Their distorted, nearly inhuman faces.

"I… I did this?" Sam asked him. He looked back up, but Caine was no longer standing there. Now, it was Drake, who was smiling like a shark, whip arm curling and uncurling at his side.

"You burned them. You burned them all."

Far off, Sam spotted the most familiar face yet. Mary's face.

"No," he whispered. He tried to move through the bodies to get to hers, but as he walked, more and more corpses appeared in front of him, blocking his way to her.

A laugh came from behind him. A female laugh.

"You think you're so different, Sam," Nerezza said bleakly. "But you're not. You're just like us. In fact, you have killed more of them than we have."

"No!" He spun towards her, now furious. "I am nothing like you!"

She laughed, a low, haunting sound.

"We'll just have to see, then," she told him, green eyes glowing.

A loud knock made Sam shoot up in his bed. He clutched onto his sheets, panting.

That nightmare had reoccurred every day for the past week. Even after seeing it so often, Sam still couldn't find out why he tried so hard to reach Mary. How he thought he could somehow still save her.

There was another obnoxious knock at the door and Sam stiffly got out of bed. He prayed that it wouldn't be a problem. Of course, if it was that big of an emergency, Taylor or Brianna would have been sent to barge in on him. So far, none of that.

Sam yawned sleepily as he opened the door. Quinn was standing on his porch, hands in his pockets, looking anxious.

"What's going on? Is something wrong?" He asked. Quinn hesitated, opened his mouth to begin speaking, and then closed it again. "Is everything okay?" Sam insisted, annoyed that it was taking do long. He wanted nothing more than to get back into bed and Quinn was just standing there, looking like a embarrassed little kid who was just about to admit to his mother that he had an accident.

"Uh… I'm not sure," he finally answered.

Sam raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean? You woke me up at five in the morning and you're not sure why?"

"Um… Maybe I should just show you."

"Show me what?" Sam was growing even more frustrated.

"Just come on," Quinn said, turning and beginning to walk away. With a heavy sigh, Sam followed him.

They walked in complete silence and Sam noticed that Quinn was walking faster than usual, as if he was nervous about getting somewhere too late.

They finally reached Quinn's house by the docks and Quinn checked around for eavesdroppers before opening the door and pulling Sam inside.

"Brah, what is up with you?" Sam asked yet again.

"I'm going to need you to trust me," Quinn told him, the most serious Sam had seen him in a while.

"Okay," Sam agreed, shrugging like that was no big deal.

"When you see her… don't hurt her. Promise?"

"Who?" Sam questioned, beginning to panic. "Who are you talking about?"

Quinn shook his head. "Just... trust me."

With a deep breath, Quinn walked over to his room and opened the door. Right when Sam was preparing himself for the worst, Quinn stopped dead in the door frame.

"Oh, god," Quinn whispered.

"What? What is it?"

"She… she's not here."

"Who isn't here?" Sam almost yelled.

Quinn seemed to be too panicked to process anything Sam was saying. He rushed around the small house, looking desperately for whoever "she" was.

"No, no, no, no," he whispered to himself as he walked.

Sam grabbed him roughly by the shoulder as he neared him.

"Tell me who you're looking for, Quinn," Sam demanded. "Now."

"… I'm looking for Diana," Quinn answered slowly. "And she's gone."

Sam froze, his heart slowing dangerously.

"What?" he shouted.

This one's a little less random than the last, haha. Anyway, I hoped you liked it. Please leave me some more of those awesome reviews, I love you guys for them. I'll try to update later this week. I actually have the next few chapters planned. For once.
