Melody ran with Oliver, farther and farther up the slippery slope. Suddenly Melody stopped. "What are you doing Melody?!"

"What's the point?" She answered.

"What do you mean?! You want to live, don't you?!"

"Oliver...look at me. I'm not taken care of, I'm trying to live in two worlds. One where I'm running, fighting. Where I'm fighting a battle I can't win. And the other? It's a world, one I let myself into, one where I fake it. Where I act. Where everything is fake. A facade. I don't want to live like this. I'm broken, I'm lost. I'm not Melody, I'm not him, I don't know who I am. Not anymore. I'm just the shell of a girl who was once happy."

Oliver stared at his friend, for what seemed like hours, before speaking, "Melody, you are YOU, and no one else. You don't have to fake, you don't need to. He doesn't define who you are, what you want. You're only human, just like the rest of us. And no matter what happens, I can assure you we'll win, and I'll be with you the whole way. I swear on it." 

Melody smiled at him, "promise?"

"Promise."

Vincent stared up the slope, growling. He got up, a little wobbly. He decided to let them run. Vincent teleported his way back to the house, he made himself invisible from Lance and the small girl.

That's when he saw Alexander talking to.....Gabrielle and Dominick. He growled under his breath. 

Vincent summoned a blue dagger in his hand. He threw it right into Dominick's back. Dominick cried out in pain and he fell to the ground. Vincent walked over to Alexander and grabbed the knife out of Dominick on his way. 

"Alexander~ It's great to see you on this plane of existence." Vincent said at his former victim.

"No!" Dominick yelled out with a newfound strength. He scrambled up and jumped at his father. Vincent yelled out.

"Don't hurt him Dominick!" Gabrielle cried. Dominick had Vincent pinned to the ground by his neck. 

"Gabrielle this isn't Owen! Owen is DEAD! He died after he jumped off of the cliff." Vincent growled underneath him. 

"We can still SAVE him! PLEASE!" Dominick payed no attention to her words as he summoned a short sword.

"STOP!" Gabrielle yelled at her brother and knocked Dominick off of Vincent. 

Vincent smiled as he got up. "You just made a mistake~"
