Thanks piratekaine for your review I noticed this mistake and I'll try and improve the chapter length and the time between updates especially since I'm going back to school tommorrow. I saw your review and had just finished typing this chapter so I decided 'what the heck, Your readers demand more GIVE IT TO THEM!' So here is Chapter 11 dedicated to you. ;]

Chapter 11: From the Top of the World to the Bottom of The Heap

Sam was Bliss. He was the happiest person in the FAYZ. He'd just made love to the woman of his dreams and she'd told him that she loved him. They'd woken up legs intertwined, her head on his chest and one arm behind his head the other thrown across Astrid's waist. He recapped last night's events and sighed happily. Instinctively he hugged Astrid closer. She smiled slightly before snuggling deeper into his chest. He looked down at her and smiled at her facial expression. She looked so calm in her sleep, her lips parted a bit and her blonde hair fanned out behind her. She looked like a goddess. Sam leant down and kissed her forehead and breathed into her hair. She smelt like a beautiful combination of tangerine and Daffodils then he leant back when he felt her move.

"Hello Handsome" She said before stretching, she was almost fully stretched when suddenly she winced. Sam looked over, concern etched all over his face.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, fine just a bit sore I guess"

"Oh" Sam's face fell "Sorry about that"

"It's alright, I'm fine aren't I?" Sam looked at her 'well she did seem fine.' Unexpectedly Astrid straddled Sam's waist.

"So what do you wanna do today?" She asked in a slow seductive purr. Sam grinned then flipped them back, positions reversed.

"Well seeing as the doors still locked it doesn't look like we'll be going anywhere."

"Mmm, perfect." She said with a smirk he looked deep into her endless blue orbs.

"You know Astrid you look so beautiful right now."

"Sam?" Astrid looked up eyes pleading.

"Yes. . ."

"Kiss me" and with those to words Sam immediately obeyed he leant down, closed his eyes and was inches away when he heard a series of unexpected sounds.

A pop, followed closely by a shriek. And no doubt about it the shriek belonged to most definitely Astrid.

It was getting late by the time Taylor popped into Clifftop last night so she'd decided to go to bed and continue her search the following day. Now as she made her way down the main staircase she wondered how she was going to get the information on Sam's whereabouts without seeming suspicious. She was just rounding the corner when she noticed Dekka and Brianna talking a few feet down of the ground floor corridors. Taylor was just wondering why they'd feel the need to hide their conversation until she saw Dekka kiss Brianna.

Well that was certainly interesting.

After seeing that public display of affection Taylor decided to wait behind a pillar and see what other interesting things she'd find out. And sure enough after waiting about 15 minutes Taylor knew about the events that occurred two nights ago and what had happened with Edilio's powers both at the hotel and at the Caretaker's Quarters. Lana, Quinn Edilio and now Dekka and Brianna were sitting in the lobby discussing what they were now going to do.

"I say we go and get Orc to bust the door down." Lana said a bit bored with the current conversation.

"I think we should let Edilio try and unlock the door." Dekka said also fully up to date with the recent events.

"NO WAY!" Edilio shouted but when he caught Lana's disappointed look he quickly added."Or maybe as a last minute resort."

"No no no we're not gonna get Orc because he's a hopeless drunk it'll be a struggle getting here in the first place without attracting the unnecessary attention let alone convincing him to help us. And we are not going to make Edilio unlock the door because, no offence Edilio but right now your powers are a bit unpredictable." Quinn said while pacing back and forth between the groups

"Why don't we just go there and see if there is any other way to get out. Like, I don't know smash a window or something. . ." Edilio suggested.

"Um, what kind of building is this?" Dekka asked questioning on behalf of half of the room including Taylor.

"It's just a bungalow, honey you know one floor, one door probably a few windows. It's the only building out just off the main road." Brianna explained and just as she finished a small pop came from around the corner and judging by the lack of reaction of everyone else in the room Brianna was the only one who hear it.

". . . making our way." Lana announced before getting up and making her way to the doors closely followed by Edilio and Quinn.

"Hey you ok?" Brianna turned to see Dekka.

"Yeah, fine um where's everyone going?"

"To go bust out Sam and Astrid. Do you wanna go?"

"No, I've had enough going back and forth between those guys let's go back to town."

"Alright, let's go besides I am a bit hungry" then Dekka took Brianna's hand and started making her way to town.

Edilio, Quinn and Lana had been around a minute's walk away from the Caretaker's Quarters when they heard Astrid's frightened shriek. Immediately they broke into a sprint but stopped abruptly when they heard the next voice.

"St-St-Stay AWAY from me Sam or, or I'll-"there was a sound of metal clattering before she continued "Or I'll run you through!" Taylor's frantic voice could clearly be heard through the door. Next they could hear Sam's voice but he was talking so quietly they couldn't make out what he was saying. Then they hear Astrid talking her tone was calm and even.

"YOU! You took him from me!" Taylor shouted. Sam's voice came again then a sound that sounded like someone running.

"Sam, NO! Suddenly everything was eerily quiet then there was a series of popping and running. Then out of nowhere Sam grunted and a loud thud could be heard.

"SAM! NOOO!"Astrid yelled, she started screaming and by the sound of things crying. "Help! Please Someone! Help me!" Edilio looked over at Quinn and when they're eyes met they reached a silent agreement. They both rushed forward and started kicking at the door.

"NO! Get away from him!" A gasping sound could be heard from the other side of the door. Then Silence. Edilio and Quinn stopped kicking the door and listened intently but what they heard next ran their blood cold.

"HE'S CHOKING!He can't breathe! HELP! Someone help us please!" Astrid was crying and screaming at the top of her voice. Behind him Edilio heard a 'pop' and there lay Taylor crumpled on the floor. Covered in Blood.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry. Oh my God there was so much blood." Lana over to her and started desperately shouting inquiries as to what was happening at her but she just lay there muttering to herself eyes glazed over, starting into space. Quinn then grabbed Edilio and pulled him towards the door.

"At the count of three we are gonna kick the door at the same time ok?" Edilio nodded."Ok 1...2...3!"BOOM! But the door only bent a bit in the middle.

" Again!1...2...3!" BANG! This Time the door was off its hinges but still hung in the doorway.

"One more time! 1...2...3!" BOOM!THUD! With the final kick the door gave in and fell to the floor. Quinn, Edilio and Lana ran in but stopped frozen; horror-stricken they saw the scene in front of them.

A chill ran down Edilio's spine . . .

CLIFFHANGER!

If someone has a better chapter name please I beg of you suggest it! This chapter's title sounds like a cheesy song lyric(!).

Until next time please review!
