"Move! Thats my brother! Thats my brother!" Fallon screamed, shoving her way past the crowd of people in the hospital. 

"Fallon, wait!" FP yelled trying to hold her back. 

Fallon made it all the way to his gurney, grabbing his hand. Both their hands were stained completely red. 

"Don't leave me," Fallon sobbed. "Please! I need you. I need you."

Fangs struggled to find breath but he squeezed his sister's hand. His shirt became darker and darker, stained nearly black with blood. Fallon's own face was streaked with his blood, dirt and her own hot tears. 

"We need to take him back," A doctor yelled to his team. 

"No!" Fallon wailed, gripping Fangs' arm.

Two, strong arms wrapped around her middle and yanked her off. Fallon kicked and screamed, hoping this wasn't the last time she'd see him. 

She was taken to a less crowded corner and sat on a bench. She saw Brooks' dark eyes. They were so sad. His face was covered in cuts and bruises. It seemed as if the riots hadn't been too kind to him either. 

"Please, Fallon. You have to calm down," he whimpered, his own tears staining his perfect face .

"My brother is gonna die," Fallon cried, her breathing rapid and unsteady.

"Shhhh, hey, hey listen to me. He's gonna be okay. But please, you have to calm down," he said, holding her pale face between his hands. 

"This is a lot of trouble for a girl you just met," Fallon cried. 

"Not if you love that girl," Brooks mumbled.

Fallon burst into tears and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding onto the one stable thing in her life. 

The hospital room was blinding white, it didn't help that a nurse was flashing a light into Dallas' eyes. She had snapped out of her daze about halfway to the hospital. She was nothing but a hot light of red hot anger now. 

"I said I'm fine!" Dallas yelled, pulling her head away from the nurse. 

The nurse backed off, rushing to attend to a broken arm a few seats down. Dallas watched Sweet Pea and a few other young Serpents head for the door. 

"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" Dallas snapped, grabbing half the room's attention. Sweet Pea's eyes were nearly black, but now her own darkness had surfaced, and she wasn't afraid. 

Sweet Pea stomped over to where she was and held her upper arm, tightly in his fist. "I'm burning that goddamn school to the ground," he said in a hushed, but assertive tone. 

"I'm going with you," Dallas hissed back, her teeth grinding together. 

"No. You're gonna sit your ass here and wait with Fallon," Sweet Pea countered. 

Dallas grabbed a fistful of his shirt and yanked him down to eye level. "I'm going with you, and thats final." She hungrily pressed her lips to his before throwing him backwards. 

He didn't argue with her. He silently grabbed her hand and led her through the fires and mobs to the high school. The Serpent boys forced the doors open and immediately went to work destroying the main entrance. 

Dallas followed Sweet Pea upstairs, who was releasing all his anger through kicking, punching, and slashing anything he could get his hands on. The classroom in question was her chem class. She felt sick destroying something she loved so much. Sweet Pea slashed through the posters and destroyed the lab equipment, glass shattering into a million pieces.
