"I don't care what you or anyone thinks is right anymore. I'm a woman and I can make my own decisions. I choose what's right for me and this is what I choose, so goodbye!" I yelled and walked off. I wasn't going to stop for anything. I had to do this. I couldn't end it now. I couldn't change my mind either.

I stepped forward, grabbed her arm tightly, and turned her around, locking my bright blue eyes with her hazel. "Crystal, I just lost my soulmate. I am not going to lose you too," I said through my teeth.

I pulled my arm fiercely from his and continued to walk on, not even saying a word to him. I wasn't going to stand around and be told what to do. I had to stick to the plan. After a few moments I started to run. I couldn't handle this. I just focused on the scent in front of me and not the boy behind me.

For a moment I stood still, my arms crossed, then I broke into a run as well, following her easily. She was a lot faster than I anticipated, but not fast enough to outrun me - I caught her, jerked her back around again, and slapped her hard across her face. "Crystal," I hissed. "You cannot do this. You have a family." I grabbed her chin and held it, not allowing her to look away. "Apart from my children, you're all I have left, Princess," I whispered.

"You always say that it hurts you or that it's not right... What about how much living hurts me? In my mind it's right. I can't stand to live any longer. If you had any idea... You'll never understand... Just let me go!" I cried as tears started to fall again. I jerked away from him again and ran as fast as my legs would allow me to. "Lacey!" I called quickly when the scent ended at a house. I hoped to get this over with before Lucian showed up.

{Lacey} I knew, with some deep instinct, the very moment Crystal decided to come. I smiled lightly to myself as I slipped into the shadows, watching her carefully. The human girl had been right; I was well willing to let this go, but if she came straight to my door... I stepped out behind her with the soundless grace of a vampire and spoke in a soft, light voice. "Yes, Crystal?"
{Lucian} "Dannazione all'inferno..." I muttered under my breath. She wasn't going to let me stop her. Why did I have to end up loving the most stubborn people? I doubled back, throwing them both off my scent; neither could know I was coming. Then I shifted into my wolf form and slipped back around, moving according to the shift in the wind. There was absolutely no way I was going to lose the two people I loved in one day.

"Okay I promise this time I won't knock you out. I'll go through with this because I want it to happen. Could you please kill me, before Lucian shows up? He knows what I'm doing and I didn't intend that on happening, but I don't care how you do it. I don't even care if it's the most painful way possible, I'd actually rather it be that way. I just want you to kill me." I said to her, pleading while I had no focus on the tears that still continued to fall.

{Lacey} I shrugged. "Certainly," I said brightly, stepping forward. I grabbed her arms tightly, holding her still, and slowly leaned towards her neck, pressing my fangs to the soft skin around her neck. "Ready?" I whispered, tauntingly, much as I had with Sorina. But then, just as I prepared to finish it off, I sensed rather than heard or saw Lucian's presence. I paused, not moving as I waited to see what he would do.
{Lucian} I could tell she knew I was here, so I shifted quickly and stepped out, crossing my arms. I didn't bother pretending like I didn't know exactly what was going on here. "Look, Lacey," I growled. "Maybe you've forgotten, or something screwed-up like that, but you just killed my soulmate. Needless to say, I am not in a charitable mood, least of all towards you. So if you don't let her go - now I am about to make good on every dark promise I've ever given you. And I'm sure they're numerous."

I narrowed my eyes at Lucian, furious with him. "Just go away Lucian. You have no right in being here, so just leave. I get to choose what I do with my life. You have no say. Just leave!" I growled. I really wanted this all to be over with.

I shook my head. "I'm not leaving, Princess," I growled. "I've lost enough today. I'm not losing you too." As stubborn as both she and Sunny were, there were some matters in which I could outdo them both. This was one of them. I crossed y arms lightly and raised one eyebrow at her, the cold sparkle in my eyes daring her to keep arguing.

I cringed inside, and a part of me was wanting to give up. I ignored it though. I had to keep on against my better judgement. I looked straight into the cold blue eyes that wanted me to give in or I would pay the consequences. I said through bared teeth, "Well I'm still gonna die, so you either stand here and watch or just go."

"Or just rip Lacey's pretty little head off and end this crap once and for all," I growled, stepping towards the redheaded vampire. If Lacey killed Crystal, it was going to be only over my dead body. I'd make sure of that. There was no way I was going to let her die like I'd let Sunny.
{Lacey} I crossed my arms, my eyes flicking over the werewolf. There was no way I was going to kill the last remaining person he cared about while he was standing right there. I knew that... I glanced behind me and saw a small, abandoned house, and the plan flashed through my mind immediately. I smiled softly and stepped back towards it, almost as though I were retreating; then I grabbed Crystal's arm and abruptly pulled her with me. Lucian lunged forward the second he saw my plan, but I ducked out of his way and into the house, and threw what scarce furniture was available against the door to block it. He would get in eventually, but it would be too late. "Now..." I pulled Crystal closer, baring my fangs, a small smile on my face. "Exactly where were we?"

I leaned my head back, allowing my neck to stretch out, so she could easily bite my kneck. I had no other choice. I knew this was what I wanted to do. Images of my daughter's, Venus and Roxanne, then of Thomas, Lucian, Fate, and Dawn all crossed my mind. I was wanting to give in again and knock her out, but then images of my parents beating me, all of the deppression I've been through, and then of course of Sorina, made me want nothing more than to die. I just held in all I can as I waited for her to kill me. "Ready..." I said softly trying to keep any tears back and keep from choking up.

{Lacey} I smiled softly. "It doesn't really matter where you're ready or not, sweetheart," I murmured, and then I leaned forward and sank my teeth into her neck.
{Lucian} "Maledizione," I snarled, kicking the door with all my strength. It didn't budge. "Crystal!" I yelled. She didn't respond. "Damn it... damn it... damn it..." I whispered in English, stepping back and shifting into my wolf form. I crept around the side until I found a window, then I stood up and smashed with two of my wolf paws, paying no mind to the piece of glass that sliced a long gash in my leg. I slipped through the broken window and shifted back, glancing around for Lacey, but predictably, she was gone. Crystal was on the floor, unconscious... and bleeding. A lot. Oh God... "Princess!" I picked her up and shook her frantically, not noticing that it was the exact same thing I'd tried with Sunny at first. "Crystal, damn it, look at me!" She didn't respond, not that I'd really expected her to. Oh God... I couldn't lose both of them in one day. I just couldn't. I picked her up gently, pressed two fingers to the unmarked side of her neck, and sighed with relief when I felt the heartbeat. It was very shallow though. I was sure Lacey knew she hadn't killed her - no matter what else I could say about her, she wasn't stupid - but she probably also figured that she was so close to death that she wouldn't make it much longer. Five years we've known each other, and you still underestimate me? I thought dryly. I lay Crystal gently on an old couch - and suddenly realized that my blood was getting on her, too. I glanced down in surprise at my arm and at once saw the gash I had forgotten about. I didn't think as I knelt down beside her - at least, not about what consequences this may bring. I thought only of Sunny, and that apart from my children, Crystal was the only person left I loved. I was not going to let her die. I pressed my wounded arm against the fresh bite-marks in the side of her neck, letting my blood trickle into her system steadily. I cringed some at the feeling of blood loss - it felt a little like being drained by a vampire, something I had always fought very hard to avoid - but I didn't move away. I couldn't. I was doing this not just for Crystal, but for Sunny as well.

As I lied there I waited for the depths of the darkness to sweep through me and end my life. I felt blood sweep through me and my heart beat was slowly returning to normal. My eyes opened and I looked at Lucian. "Wh-what happened?" I asked softly. I was trying to figure out how I wasn't dead...
