Fin's POV

"Tanith!" I scream, watching helplessly as Diane stuck a syringe into her arm. She stops fighting against her a moment later, as if the life had just been drained from her.

I have to do something. I can't just stand here and let this happen. I spring into action, running as fast as I can towards her. "Fin, no!" Dan exclaims, grabbing me around the middle.

"Let me go." I beg, pulling against him and watching helplessly as Diane began to drag Tanith into the house. "I can't loose her again!"

"Fin-" He begins, but I cut him off.

"What if it was Phil?" I ask tearfully. "He's your best friend, right? You'd do anything for him?"

Dan was too shocked to say anything, but I took the opportunity to break free and run after her.

I'm almost at the door when the man that was supposedly her 'father' reached out one of his massive hands and clamped it down around my neck. I start to panic as he lifts me effortlessly into the air. I couldn't breathe. My feet left the ground and I gasp, kicking violently and trying to get a breath of oxygen.

"Let go of my son!" Pete screams, his face full of anger. He rams into the man, who stumbled back in shock and I fell to the floor, taking in the air. Ignoring the pain in my chest, I scramble to my feet and stumble inside.

I see Zack and Alex ahead of me, and I catch up to a horrifying sight.

Tanith's slumped in the corner, her body limp and the a knife near her hand. Diane was keeled before her, smiling in that wicked way she does.

Its like everything just stops.

Zack moves in quickly, pulling Diane out of the room and away from Tanith.

I step closer tentatively, my eyes already welling with tears. "Tanith?" I whisper. I move closer and fall to my knees beside her. I pull her into my lap as the tears begin to fall. "Tan? Tan please wake up." I beg. My hands fumble to her neck, checking for a pulse. "Please." I plead.

There was nothing.

"Tan, Tan it's me. It's Fin." I whisper, my voice cracking and breaking. "You gotta wake up." I sob, my entire body trembling. "Wake up!"

Jack arrives then, stopping in the doorway with a hand to his mouth. He shakes his head, his face a mess of emotions. "No."

I shake her a couple more times, but she doesn't wake up.

"You can't leave me. Not like this. No!" I scream, holding her limp body close to me. "Wake up!"

"Oh my god." Alex whispers.

"I can't do this without you." I cry. "I can't loose you too." My broken sobs echo through the house.

"No." Jack repeats, his voice broken as he too begins to cry.

"Tanith." I sob. "Tan, please." But no amount of begging and pleading was going to fix this.
