Alan's POV:

Delilah walked towards me.
"You've got nothing left, Alan. Who's going to save you now?" She laughed.
"It's so funny that you honestly thought you'd get your way." She continued.

I saw a stake fly over the top of me, narrowly missing Delilah. I looked up to see Michael armed with a band of stakes. Marko took one and launched it at her, she caught it and snapped it with one hand. Marko and Michael looked terrified. She started to walk towards them, cracking her knuckles and grinning.
"You asked for it." She cackled. She jumped at the pair, both boys parting so she missed and stumbled into a pile of boxes. While she was regaining her balance, Michael threw a canteen filled with holy water to Star, who snuck up from behind and dumped it onto her head. Delilah collapsed, tears streaming from her eyes.

Sam, Michael, Star and Marko looked at each other, confused. What was happening? I couldn't do anything but lay on the cold, rocky ground and watch. Large masses of water was flowing from her eyes uncontrollably.
"That's right, cry little sister, cry!" Marko screamed.
"After all those times you made me pay for your actions, this is what you get!" He finished.
She keeled over, her body sizzling and shaking. After 3 long minutes of involuntarily watching her death, she stopped moving. Michael was slowly approached her seemingly dead body, when it went up in flames. Giant red and blue flames burned from her body, feeding on her carcass. It was a revolting sight but I had no choice but to watch it, my neck refused to move my head over.

Her body crackled and sizzled for minutes. The cave was filled with smoke and we were all choking. When the flames finally died down, her remains were just a pile of hot ashes and coal.

Michael and Star hugged, Sam joining in while Marko stood there, unsure of whether or not he should join in too.

"Hello? I'm still here!" I attempted to yell, only really coming out as a whisper.
"Grab Edgar! We need to get to the hospital!" Sam hollered.
Marko and Sam rushed over to Edgar, lifting him. Michael and Star picked me up, and all 7 of us made our way to the hospital.

I wasn't worried about myself, I was worried about Edgar. I didn't know if what Delilah said about him dying if she died was true or not, and all I wanted was for him to be alive.
