FOURTY-EIGHT

Lena walked the path, she had finished a little killing spree, blood smeared her mouth with a devilish smirk. She spotted Warren and Grace talking, she knew the plan for Turner was simple and probably wouldn't go wrong. But she was bored.

"Look who finally showed up!" Warren called out, Lena laughed as she approached her older brother.

"Sorry, I had things to do." Lena sat on the car bonnet, a little blood dripped from her black leather jacket.

"Seriously, this isn't like you, Lena!" Warren scolded, not that he knew his sister well, though. Before they were properly introduced as siblings their interactions were limited to his job at the garage or awkward hellos.

"That's the point, isn't it?" Lena mocked, tossing a blonde strand of hair behind her head. She then sped off, she could hear better due to being a hybrid. Sadly, she was put into a coffin just in perfect timing, Turner had gotten to her. "Shit!"

***

Lena lay in the coffin, she was slightly scared but she knew that was just her humanity switch coming into play. She didn't want to face emotions, not after the betrayal, but as she was trapped in the confined space, held by a spell she wished Lizzie were there. She wanted her beautiful, badass, heretic girlfriend to come and save her.

A lone tear streamed down her cheek, she closed her eyes and then opened them, she felt a surge of emotions. "Crap!" She whispered, knowing now she had to face the guilt and anything else she wanted to keep hidden. She heard a gunshot, hopefully that was Turner - or as she now knew it was her mothers embalmer, Les - been shot and not someone she cared about.

"I'm still in here." Norma called out, Lena shut her eyes and then felt a breeze, opening her frosty eyes she found Grace standing above her.

"Hi." Lena sobbed, feeling more tears come out of her cheeks as she pulled herself out from the coffin.

"Did you?" Warren asked, now concerned for his younger sister, they weren't exactly close but he had started to feel as protective over her as he did his other deceased sister Katie

"Yes." Lena nodded, "I've got too many emotions!" She charged forward, hugging Warren as the tears fell from her, he slowly wrapped his arms around her as she cried.

"There, there."

***

Lena stood in the dog car park, she wanted to find Lizzie, she knew the heretic had to be somewhere here as her flight had landed today, but she was too scared. She pulled out her phone,

'LENA' CHANGED 'LIZZARD' TO 'BETHIE MY LOVE'

LENA
hey, I've got my humanity back
God I'm a terrible being, I hate myself Bethie
I'm sorry for all I put you through
Love, Lena xxx

Lena then put her phone neatly in her bloody, tear stained jacket. "Uh, guys?" She called our, seeing Warren on the floor like a beached whale, she knew he was unwell and dying, which terrified her more. "WARRENS DEAD ON THE FUCKING FLOOR, GRACE, STOP TRYING TO GET A BONUS!!" They turned their heads at that, Norma actually looked like she felt emotion - which was a first for the usually reserved gangster.

Lena paced the hospital, she had a coffee in her hand, it had gone cold but she still took sips every now and then.

"Hey, I got your message, you ok?" Lizzie's voice brought a sense of calm to Lena's over dramatic life, she turned to face her girlfriend.

"I'm so— sorry." She breathed, hugging her girlfriend tightly, she pulled away and stroked her thumb along lizzies lips, "I love you, Elizabeth Jenna Saltzman." She then kissed her, a soft but loving kiss, her girlfriend kissed back, the pair were happy to finally be reunited.

"Never, I mean, never, do that to me again." Lizzie whispered, tears brimming her eyes, Lena was already crying as the salty taste had fell onto Lizzie's lips.

"I won't, I promise, baby."

"I love you, princess."

"I love you more."
