...

"Son of a bitch!"

Rebecca jumped, startled when she recognized the voice. But she couldn't see, and couldn't be sure; the candles had extinguished themselves some time ago, and the darkness was so complete, her eyes refused to adjust.

"K-Katelyn?" she croaked, her throat dry. "Is that you?"

Silence.

"Bex?" The voice spoke in barely more than a whisper, cautious and uncertain.

"Yeah." Rebecca stood, groping for the wall. She wished the candles would come back to life.

"Thank god you're okay!" Katelyn cried, letting go of a shaky breath. Then, in the next second, she sounded furious. "What the hell was up with earlier? Why did you attack us?"

Rebecca fidgeted, kicking at the sand. She was silent a long time, trying to find just the right words to explain.

"Carsaeus... Tried to brainwash me," she finally admitted, grudgingly.

"Tried?" Katelyn questioned. "As in... It didn't work?"

Rebecca hesitated a moment before answering. "It almost worked. Until I attacked you guys. The shock of it..."

Katelyn licked her lips and nodded, though Rebecca couldn't see in the darkness. "I get it. Evil... the demon within us..." She shrugged, falling silent. She didn't need to say anymore. She knew, even without being able to see, that Rebecca understood.

"You aren't alone," Katelyn said, after several minutes of silence. "Both literally and figuratively. I'm here and we're going to get out of here and get home. But you're also not alone in fighting your demonic nature. I promise, I'll help with that, too. We'll help each other."

Rebecca smiled, tears filling her eyes. "Thanks. But getting out of here won't be easy. The thing is... Well, we kind of have company."

The candles chose that moment to flare to life. Rebecca stiffened, sure it wasn't just a coincidence. She blinked heavily, her eyes struggling to adjust to the sudden light.

"Andy!" Katelyn cried, going pale and still, staring at Andy across the room.

Andy nodded to Katelyn. "Katelyn... Thank god you're okay." He sighed heavily, the relief evident in his tone.

"How?" Katelyn questioned, shaking her head in disbelief.

Rebecca and Andy exchanged a look before taking turns filling Katelyn in on everything they had already discussed.

"Wow," was all Katelyn could say in response. She shook her head. "Corrine will be so relieved that you're okay... If we can get out of here and get to her."

"We will," Rebecca said firmly. "Between the two of us, we'll come up with something."

Andy shifted uncomfortably, looking as though he desperately wanted to say something but wasn't sure where to begin.

"What is it?" Rebecca asked gently, frowning in confusion.

"Look," Andy began, sighing. "You need to know something... You need to know the truth."

Katelyn and Rebecca exchanged uncertain looks, and Katelyn edged closer to Rebecca, just in case.

"While I've been here," Andy began slowly, running a hand through his hair. "I've gotten to know Carsaeus. And, you know, he's not the bad guy."

Katelyn's jaw dropped in shock, and Rebecca's eyes went wide with confusion. Andy looked serious, sane, and certain.

"He told me more of his plans then I let on before," he admitted, giving Rebecca a guilty shrug. "And he's doing this for the greater good."

"He's a demon," Katelyn said, slowly and clearly, as if speaking to a young child who might not understand. "He doesn't work for the greater good, Andy."

Andy nodded. "I know, I definitely understand that after seeing everything Prue-." He paused, choking on the words. "After everything I've seen all these years. But he's not evil and he doesn't want to hurt any of you. He's on your side."

Rebecca frowned. "I don't understand... What...?"

"He wants to help," Andy explained. "He wants to make you stronger, make you a force to be reckoned with. You have the potential. He can make you great."

"And in exchange?" Katelyn demanded. "Because, I know there's a catch here. There always is with demons."

"Don't be so quick to condemn demons," someone said from a suddenly bright doorway.

Katelyn and Rebecca jumped, turning in unison to see Carsaeus standing before them. He was smirking, confident, like everything was going the way he wanted it to.

Andy quickly dropped to one knee, bowing to Carsaeus. Katelyn and Rebecca stared in shock and fear. What had Carsaeus done to their uncle? Had he been brainwashed? Or was he playing along, hoping to live?

"You are of no use to me anymore," Carsaeus said firmly. "They are clearly not swayed by you." He held up a hand and a fireball formed. "I had hoped you could convince them to side with us, but clearly you are not a great actor."

Andy stood, expression blank. The air around him shimmered, and a demon stood in his place. "You didn't give me enough time," he snarled. "Your impatience cost you this portion of the plan, not my poor acting."

Katelyn gasped as Rebecca gripped her hand, and they stepped back. Carsaeus smirked and let his fireball fly. They both turned away, huddling together. Rebecca trembled and Katelyn murmured assurances to her as the demon posing as Andy shrieked in agony. And then silence.

"Now, ladies," Carsaeus said calmly, clapping to get their attention. "I grow weary of this game. Either you join me, or you watch as I kill your cousins, slowly and painfully."

"You're an evil bastard," Katelyn snarled, stepping forward threateningly. "And we don't side with demons, in case you forgot. We're good witches."

Carsaeus grinned, chuckling softly. "Keep in mind, you each have demonic natures within you. Powerful demonic natures, from powerful demons. Not that I enjoy admitting Belthazor is powerful; however, I do so grudgingly."

"Don't flatter me, Carsy," Someone said from behind them.

Katelyn jumped, recognizing the voice. Everything would be okay now, she realized, sagging in relief. They were going to be rescued.

Carsaeus snarled. "Do not ever call me that again, Belthazor, or I will rip put your tongue!"

Cole stepped closer, smirking. "Threatening me won't make me feel any more amicable towards you than I already am."

Carsaeus glared at him. "Keep in mind, Belthazor, you're the one who came to me. I don't need you, and I won't hesitate to dispose of you."

Cole nodded, acknowledging this.

Katelyn watched their exchange, horrified. She gripped Rebecca's hand so tightly, Rebecca cried out in pain and shook free of her cousin's hold.

"I knew it," Katelyn finally said, her voice heavy with defeat. "You've been working with him the whole time. Haven't you?"

Cole stared heavily at his daughter, expression blank. Finally, he smirked at her. "Once an evil bastard, always an evil bastard. Isn't that right? That's what you always told me, anyway."

Katelyn pushed Rebecca behind her, heart pounding. She slumped. "Yeah, I guess I was right."

Cole stared at her a moment longer, then turned to Carsaeus. "So, now what do we do with them?"

Carsaeus turned his steely gaze upon Katelyn and Rebecca. "We persuade them to join us. Or we kill them."
