May 16...same day...

LEXI'S POV

"Caroline!" I gasped in shock.

"Hello dear. It's just lovely to see you again." she said sarcastically. "Wasn't expectin' to see you here."

"Can't say I was expecting to see you either..." I spat a little shakily.

"Did you really think I'd leave my precious heart unprotected? You're a fool. Just. Like. Harry."

I glanced over to Bridgett to see her taking a step towards me, confidently.

"Is that a little white I see Caroline? What's the matter?" Bridgett said feigning innocence.

"I've got her sickly disease you rat." she snarled, pointing at me angrily. "But don't worry. It's about to be cured."

"How exactly are you planning to do that?" I asked.

She smiled wickedly "By killing you, of course."

I took a step back and Bridgett took a step forward, in front of me.

Just as she was about to say something, a deep husky voice interrupted her.

"Over .My. Dead. Body."

I spun around and there he was, along with Liam. "Harry...No..." I whispered to myself.

The last thing I wanted was for him to get involved, it was the reason I left with out them in the first place. I was trying to keep him out of harm's way.

Harry stepped up to me and pushed me behind him as Liam did the same with Bridgett.

I turned back to face Caroline who was grinning at Harry.

"Well hey there babe, good seein' you again." she snickered.

"Shut up, Caroline."

Caroline's lip curled up in anger "Why? We're going to have so much fun today! I'm going to finally kill that bitch and live forever and evil will once again tip the scales, just like it's always meant to."

I stepped out from behind Harry "You're wrong Caroline, Merle or whoever you are. Even if I die, there will be another born who will take my place. Just like before." I sounded braver than I felt. I just hoped she wouldn't be able to sense that part of me that was terrified, just like I always was when she was around.

She took a step toward me and smiled. "There won't be another if all the members of your precious Friedhelm and Cyneward are dead." she winked at me, took a step back and crossed her arms triumphantly as if she had already won the battle that had only just begun.

"What does that mean?" Liam questioned warily.

"I've got every single one of them held hostage by my...minions, if you will."

"You’re lying..." I was in disbelief...there was no way that was possible, they had fled, they were safe. They had to be.

"I'm not lying. And if you don't do as I say, they'll all die."

"Don't listen to her Lex, she's lying!" Bridgett was livid, and Liam was having a tough time keeping her under control.

"She'll kill them all anyway. Don't listen to anything she says." Harry whispered in my ear.

"I'm not lying...I've got your precious sister too...Kayla is it?"

"Don't listen.”

"Harry! What if she’s not lying?!..."

“She is. She has to be.”

“I’m sorry I can’t risk it, I can’t risk Kayla.”

 I stepped forward, stepping away from Liam, Bridgett and stepping away from Harry.

"What do you want me to do?"

HARRY'S POV

Here I was again. Coming to her rescue, saving my princess. Saving everything that mattered to me. That's what you would say, It's what you would think. But you'd be wrong.

I  knew it seemed like I was the one always saving Lexi, but the truth was she was the one saving me. She stepped forward and towards Caroline.

"What do you want me to do?" There she was again. Saving me, saving all of us.

I grabbed her arm but she yanked it out of my grip.

Caroline smiled and looked at me as she reached around her back and pulled something out from behind her.

"I want you to take this." She held her hand out in front of her, revealing a long, sharp dagger. "Take this... and plunge it through your heart. If you refuse, I'll kill your precious little sister."

"Lexi don't do it!" I was stepping forward, along with Bridgett and Liam, when three of Caroline's demons grabbed hold of our arms, holding us back.

We were yelling but she wasn't listening to us. She was slowly inching her way towards the demon, towards the vulture, towards the end of her life and the end of mine.
