Bad Blood

Lexa's POV

"So what exactly is going to happen?" I questioned.

"We are going to take your soul and then place it in a silver box, where it will remain intact for as long as needed. Susie will take over your body and then we need to kill her. With this," Luke pulled out a golden bullet. My eyes widened and felt tears escape my eyes. "Once the bullet pierces your heart, Susie dies." He tells me.

"What happens to me?" I questioned.

"The bullet is laced with a healing antidote. We stick back in your soul and pray for the best. You will still be in your body, in a sense. You won't be able to control yourself or talk for yourself. Everything that happens is Susie's actions." Luke says. I nod and run a hand through my hair.

"I want a word with my sister." Calum growls at Luke. He has been upset with him for the entire time. I won't be surprised if Calum actually hates Luke at this point.

Luke left the room and Calum stands before me. "I don't know if I am ever going to see you again, Lex. I don't know what the outcome is going to be, but I want you to fight. Okay? No matter what we willl try everything to make you come back to us. I love you til the last breath I take. I don't want to lose my baby sister like this, but definitely not from some bitch ass ghost. I don't know what I am gonna tell mom and dad. I feel like shit. I am supposed to protect you. I did a shit job. Fuck, Lexa, I am so sorry!" Calum cries. I wrap my arms around him and bury my head in his chest.

"You did an amazing job. I love you, Cal. So much. Thank you for being the best big brother anyone could ask for." I whisper. He kisses the top of my head and says his goodbyes.

"Lex, I wanna come down, but I dont want to cry. I love you and I will kick ass to save you! Madison loves you as well. Okay?" Michael yells down.

"Tell her i love her and thank her for some of the best memories. You too, Mikey." I yell back up.

"Alright, baby girl." Luke returns. "I didn't want us to end this way. I didn't want you to get involved with this lifestyle. I just got you back and I am losing you all over again. I loved every second with you. Even your obnoxious snorting and you hogging the bathroom. Or how you never give back any of my clothes, but its okay because I'd rather see you in my clothes than anyone else's. Lex, I swear on my life I will do anything to save you. We will kill Susie." He tells me. I felt my lip quiver.

"Luke, promise me something." I said sadly.

"Anything." He says.

"If I end up never coming back... I want you to find love again. I want you to be happy. Don't hurt yourself. Don't follow me." I said with my hand pressed to his cheek.

"I can't promise that one, Lex." He cried. I shook my head and stared at ceiling.

"Lets get this over with." I said quietly. Ash came down with the silver box.

I sat on the ground, cross legged, and Luke locked in my wrists. It was quite uncomfortable, but I guess no cell was meant for comfort.

Again, Luke spoke in Latin and once more I felt the air being sucked from me. I cried hard. Harder than when my leg broke, harder than my first break up, harder than my first fight with Luke. This pain was white hot and I felt a fire errupt in my stomach.

"Goodbye, Lex." Luke teared up and I just kept screaming. A flash of white and then pink burst before my eyes.

The pain was gone.

"Awh, they got me tied up." I blinked and there was no one in the cell with me.

"This just isn't going to do." My mouh made a tsk sound. Susie was inside of me. Taking over.
