"Forgive me" she whispered doing the unthinkable.

She removed the knife from my throat turning it on herself and plunging it into her abdomin.

The ice surrounding me instantly melted and absorbed into the desert sand. My neck healed and I fell next to her body.

"Elizabeth..." I sobbed. "Please..."

"Ugh why won't she just die? Tanner you can do it right babe?" The girl whose name I refuse to remember said annoyed.

"What? Have you seen what she can do?" He asked her disbelief etched in his face.

"Fine if you are too much of a wuss I'll do it." She shot the same light I did back in the military base. It hit my chest and did nothing.

"You stupid girl" Jezebel took over my body and the look of shock danced upon the girls face.

"Who are you!" She backed away.

"Tori! What have you done!" Tanner shouted grabbing her and running away.

"There's no where you can hide from me!" Jezebel shouted from my mouth sending a beam of bright green light from my hands sending Tanner and Tori flying 20 feet.

"Tessa come back." Sarg said from next to me.

"Sarg... what have I done..." I couldn't look him in the eyes.

"Come on Tessa let's go." He grabbed my arms.

"No!" I shouted fearing I would kill once again.

"Tessa, your eyes, they are no longer green." Sarg said in disbelief.

"You killed all thoes people..." Rayna spoke scaring me slightly.

"Miss I know my friend here may seem like a monster but she's not." Sarg went to stand in front of me protectively.

"She is a monster, however I know not to mess with her. Just answer this one question... who is Gregory and why does his name give me butterflies?" She asked quietly.

"He.... Greg he.... he was my friend and he was an enchanter, he could control Earthly things. He also-" I began.

"He was my mate wasn't he?" She asked her face contorting into one of unpleasantry.

"Yes he told me -"

 "Tell my mate whenever you meet her, that I love her"

"He told me to tell you that he loves you." I looked away from her and began to walk away from her.

"Wait, Tessa right?" I turned and nodded. "I forgive you, you know, for all of this. I know what it feels like to be controlled. I guess I'll be going now. " She awkwardly nodded and turned, the sandy soil crunching beneath her black leather heals.

"Oh okay. " I watched as she walked out towards the empty road.

"Let's go Tessa." Sarg placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Go where?  My face is all over the place." I asked slightly angered.

"Tessa I don't know right now all I know is that we can't stay here." He pulled me back urging me to leave.

"Fine" I huffed.

We went to rural New York.

"Sarg what are we doing?" I asked him for the hundredth time this trip.

"We are going to a friend." He smiled and guided me into the old antique shop.

"Ah Sarg long time no see" the older woman smiled sickly sweet her eyes never leaving his face until she took a deep breath and gasped.

"You've brought me a snack?" She smiled wider pearly white fangs elongated from her k9s.

"You have to be kidding me. A vampire Sarg!" I shouted.
