Hannah
I was cursing myself inside my head for getting split from Erin. I shouldn’t have run off inside a building I don’t know my way around, because that’s how people get lost.

My bare feet thumped against the hard floor with every step I took. My run had slowed when breathing began to get more difficult and I’d dropped my shoes somewhere along one of the previous corridors.

“Down here looks good,” I told myself as I took another right and saw double doors at the end of the corridor. I jogged down the corridor and burst through the doors, the hopeful expression falling from my face as I was met with an empty room with no windows and no other doors. The walls were made of grey stone and the floor was freshly dried cement.

“I was wondering when you were going to show up,”

I looked around for the sound of the voice, but I couldn’t see anyone. I walked further into the room until I was in the dead centre. Suddenly, Sebastian appeared in front of me, a wicked smile on his face.

“Hello, darling.” He smiled at me, lifting his hand and resting it softly against my cheek.

“What do you want with me?!” I screamed, my voice bouncing off of the walls and meeting my ears in an echo.

“Oh Hannah…” He sighed “You already know what I want with you, I think you want a little more detail as to why,” I nodded quickly
“Do you know what I am?” He asked.

“You’re some kind of demon with hunter, right?”

“Wrong,”

I was frozen to the spot as he started to walk circles around me at a slow pace.

“Then what are you?” I spat at him.

“I’m…” He trailed off and let out a laugh “I’m The King of Hell, sweetheart.”

“Great,” I groaned, dropping my head to look at the ground.

“Oh, but it is,” He smiled widely, stepping in front of me again “See, I don’t like witches because of my past with your mother, but once you’re my wife, you’ll be stripped of all of those horrific powers, and you’ll be given new ones to match your new… species, if you will,”

“I won’t be human if I marry you?” I asked, my eyebrows knitting together in confusion.

“You’ll have the appearance of a human,” He told me “Much like I do, you’ll still have your beautiful face and body, but, you won’t be completely human once I change you, you’ll be a demon, just like me,”

I started to cry as the words left his mouth, and I couldn’t stop. I was holding back my sobs, but hot tears burned my cheeks before they hit the floor.

“Please,” I pleaded “Please don’t,”

“There is no other choice,” He told me, almost sympathetically as he used his fingers under my chin to lift my head so I was looking at him “And nobody can save you, remember? Or do I have to show you what will happen to Erin, again?”

“No!” I yelled, stepping away from him quickly “I can’t watch that again,”

“It never has to happen, not if you accept my proposal when it comes,”

I took a deep, calming breath and looked right into his eyes.

“What happens to everyone else if I refuse to become your wife?” I asked, holding it together, showing him and myself that I could
be strong as my voice didn’t waver.

Sebastian was looking right into my eyes, just as I was looking into his. He cocked his head to the side and gave me a small smile.

“They all die,” His voice was soft and gentle, scaring me a little more.

“How?” I asked, before I’d even processed it.

“Painfully,” He shrugged “For all of them, it will be brutal, painful and they will feel every second of it before they burn in Hell,”

“I want them all to live,” I told him “They can’t die because of me,”

“Then you must marry me, become my wife, my queen, and I can promise you, once you’re ruling the underworld with me you
won’t regret a single thing,”

“Why not?”

“Because, you will have everything you will ever need,”

“Except for everyone I love,”

“I can change that,” He smiled softly, lovingly as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled my head to his chest. I didn’t fight him,

I let it happen, I rested my head on his firm chest and closed my eyes as my arms wrapped themselves around him “I can take it all away, the pain of losing them, and I can take away their pain of losing you,”

“How?” I whispered as more tears slipped from my eyes.

“I’ll erase you from their memory, and I’ll erase them all from yours,” A single sob wracked my body when the words left his mouth, but he gently hushed me and ran a hand through my hair.

“And it’s really the only way for them all to live their lives?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

“It is really the only way,”

The doors I had come through earlier, burst open again making my eyes snap open to look over to them, where I saw Jimmy, standing there, a look of pure hatred in his eyes as he glared at Sebastian.

“Get your filthy hands off of her,” He growled into the room. The way his voice sounded as it filled the room made me undeniably week at the knees, I’d never seen Jimmy so angry before.

“What are you going to do about it, Mortal?” Sebastian laughed.

“I’m going to send you back where you fucking came from!” Jimmy roared, running into the room, charging right at Sebastian.

I was thrown across the room and into the wall before I hit the floor, crying out in pain. When I looked back up, Sebastian had Jimmy by the throat and had lifted him off of the ground and above himself.

“Let him go!” I cried out making Sebastian look to me quickly “Please, please, let him go!”

“You want to save this human?” He asked “The one who claims to love you, but he won’t give you what you want,”

“He gives me everything else that I want,” I told him, pushing myself off of the ground and slowly walking towards him “Just please, put him down,”

Slowly, Jimmy was placed back on his feet, and when Sebastian let go of his throat, he dropped to his knees gasping for air. Sebastian rushed over to me and leaned down so that we were face to face.

“I’ll let him live,” He whispered to me “And I’ll give you something I know you want,”

Before I could even blink, I was on my back, my wrists pinned above my head while Sebastian leaned over me on the hard floor.

“No,” I cried “Please don’t do this,” I begged.

“You’re going to be my queen,” He chuckled darkly, leaning in and running his tongue up the side of my neck “And I’ll be able to do this all the time,”

“Jimmy!” I cried “Get him off of me!”

“I can’t move!” Jimmy cried from where he was on his knees “I can’t even stand up,” I looked over to him and our eyes locked with each other’s and that’s when I saw that he was actually crying. The tears that rolled down his face broke my heart and gave me the
surge of power that I needed. I closed my eyes and focused as hard as I can.

Jimmy came flying across the room and hit Sebastian, knocking him off the top of me, making him drop his power for a second so that I could get free.

“You stupid bitch!” Sebastian roared “He is going to pay for what you have done,”

Sebastian rolled so that he was on top of Jimmy, pinning him to the ground by his throat. It all happened so quickly, Sebastian pulled some weird looking blade out of his blazer and stabbed Jimmy in the stomach and then in the chest. The anger and hurt that was burning inside of me was too much, and if I didn’t let it go then I was going to burn myself alive. I held my arm out, hand open and palm towards Sebastian’s back and let everything go. With a yell, Sebastian rolled onto his back and rolled around to extinguish the fire, giving me the chance to use my Transmutation and take his place over the top of Jimmy.

“Hold on,” I whispered to him. He literally held onto me, wrapping his hands around my arms as I held onto his shoulders and pressed my forehead against his and closed my eyes, moving us out of this room and outside.

I could feel the breeze in my hair and the grass beneath my knees before I opened my eyes when Jimmy coughed. I jumped off of him and rolled him onto his side so that he could spit up the blood that filled his mouth.

“This is going to hurt,” I told him as I pressed my hands to his stomach to stop the bleeding.

“Take it… away,” He choked “It hurts so… s-so bad,”

“I’m trying,” I was using everything I had, but it wasn’t working, I could take his wounds or pain away.

His blood was seeping through my fingers, staining the skin of my hands, wrists and arms.

“Here,” I took his hands and pressed them against his wound while I used my hands on my dress I was wearing and tore up the leg from my knee almost to my panties and tore a chunk of material off of the dress and used it on Jimmy’s wounds.

I went inside my own head, I was with Jimmy physically, but I was trying to get myself into Erin’s heads and into her thoughts, finally, I could hear her. I told her where we were and a second later, her and Zack appeared before us.

“Oh fuck!” Zack yelled, pushing his hands into his hair “Is he going to be alright?”

“We have to get him to a hospital!” I cried “Get your car!” Zack took off running without a second thought “Erin, I need you to take it away from him,”

“You can’t do it?” She asked, completely panicked as she dropped to her knees in front of us, I shook my head at her “Okay, you need to hold him,”

“I shifted him as little as possible, but still causing cries and yells of pain to tear out of his throat. Soon, I had him between my legs, his back against my stomach and Erin pressed her hands to his stomach, but the same thing happened, and she couldn’t take it
away.

“It isn’t working!” I cried “Why isn’t it working?!”

“Sebastian has done something to us, or to Jimmy,” She frowned as Zack pulled back up, ready to get to the hospital.

My arms and my legs were covered in Jimmy’s blood, and I hadn’t been able to clean my hands before I wiped away tears and pushed my hair out of my face, resulting in my face and hair being covered in dry blood now, too.

The ride to the hospital had felt like it lasted forever. I’d held Jimmy in the back seat while Erin rode up front with Zack. Jimmy kept whispering for me not to let him go, because if he was going to die he wanted to die in my arms, and he wouldn’t listen to me when I told him that he wasn’t going to die.

Erin, Zack and I were in the waiting room, none of us said a word to each other since we got here. Erin was sat in one chair while I lay across three with my head in her lap as she pulled her fingers gently through my hair while she looked down at me. Zack was across the room from us, alternating between sitting in one of the chairs and pacing back and forth, but still, nobody said anything.

Jimmy’s parents and his sisters had turned up a little while ago, and they were allowed into his room once he was stable, but that could only be temporary, I knew that despite the fact that nobody had actually said it. Zack had called the other guys and Tori, telling them what had happened, but none of them could get to the hospital, they all planned to come tomorrow.

Breaking the silence, Jimmy’s family all left his room, his dad and sisters walked right past us and out the door, but his mother stayed in the corridor, looking through the window at her son before she came down into the waiting room.

“Hannah?” She asked, looking at me with no expression on her face.

I just nodded, sniffing and wiping away my silent tears as I pushed myself to my feet.

“I need to speak with you,” She grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to his room and forced me to look at him “You see that?”
She asked “You did that to him, whatever he was doing out tonight, it was because of you, and now, we don’t know if we’re ever going to be able to take our son home from this,” I started to cry again at her words, but not because they hurt, but because they were true “My baby boy could die because of you,”

“Stop,” I whispered my plead to her “Please, just stop,”

“No!” She yelled “I will not stop, because if he dies because of you, I will spend the rest of my days making your life a living Hell!”

“There is nothing you could do to me to make my life worse than it already is,” I told her quietly.

“I beg to differ, you have nothing wrong in your life, you have everything you could want, there is no reason for you to hate your life right now, but by the time I’m finished with you, you will wish you were never born,”

“You have no idea, lady.” I said, more tears running down my face “But there is something you should do for Jimmy, if you do it, he’ll be okay,” She looked at me confused “Go in there, and tell him that you loved him from the second he was born, and that you always will love him, for the rest of his life, and that there is no love stronger than the one you feel for him,”

She didn’t move when I stopped talking, so I pushed her gently into the room and closed the door behind her before making my way back to Erin and Zack, silently resuming my previous position on her lap.

Jimmy
After Hannah got us out of that place, I don’t remember anything, except I vaguely remember being in the back of Zack’s car with Hannah, but that was it, and everything has been black for what feels like forever. I’m in the hospital, I know that much from all of the beeping and other noises, plus the smell has always bothered me in here. I want to wake up, I want to open my eyes, reach my hand out and wipe away my mother’s tears that she hasn’t stopped shedding for so long, the sound of her soft sobs are entering
my unconscious mind.

She’s been gone for a little while, I don’t know where she went. I want to open my eyes and see the damage for myself, but everything just feels so heavy, whether that’s from the damage done to me by Sebastian, or from whatever amount of drugs they have pumping into my body right now.

“Jimmy,” My mom said softly from beside me. I hadn’t even heard her come back in “Jimmy, it’s mama,” Her voice was quiet but hoarse from all the crying she has done tonight “That girl, Hannah, sent me in here,” She almost laughed “She’s been sitting out there with her cousin and Zachary all night, and as much as I hate to say it, because she’s the one who did this to you, she really does care about you,” I felt her warm hand grab mine “I love you baby, you were my little miracle child and there is nothing stronger than the love I feel for you, my little boy, I’ve loved you since the second you were born and I’ll love you with everything I have, for the rest of your life, but that’s going to be so long, because you’re going to live a long and happy life, you’ll become a big rock star and then you’ll get married and have loads of babies, and you’ll die old and happy, not now, not young and scared,” She was really breaking my heart “So please baby, Jimmy, please wake up,”

The small sob that escaped her lips once again when she finished speaking, caused my eyes to flutter open, and as my eyes adjusted to the brightness of the room, a gasp escaped her lips and she started crying again, but her cries were happy.

She reached over me and started to press the button for the nurse, who came rushing into the room a moment later with a few other nurses. They were all speaking quickly to each other.

“Jimmy…” I heard a whisper from outside the room, my head rolled in the direction of the noise and there she was, standing outside the room, looking through the window at the side of the door, looking at me with a small smile on her face. She pressed her small hand, covered in my dried blood, against the glass and I tried to hold my hand out to her, but I was too weak, and then in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

Knowing that Jimmy was alright made me feel the smallest bit better, so after he woke up, I vanished from the hospital and onto the porch outside my house.

“Dad?!” I called out, walking inside. But I was only met by silence “Where are you?!”

He wasn’t home, but I had no idea where he was. I up the stairs, taking them two at a time and burst into my bedroom and grabbed my phone off of my desk and called my dad. I knew he took his phone with him tonight, but of course, it went straight to voicemail.

“Damn it!” I cursed, hanging up and throwing my phone onto the bed “I know you’re watching me, you sick fuck!” I yelled into the room “So come and get me! I’m the one who fucked you over tonight!”

“You’re right,”

I turned around so see Sebastian standing just inside the room.

“You are the one who wronged me, but it would be wrong of me to hurt my future bride,”

“It never stopped you before,” I scoffed.

“Right again,” He smirked.

Before I could register what was happening, I had the same blade that he used on Jimmy rammed into my side, knocking the air out of me while blood poured out of my mouth.

“Don’t worry,” He soothed as he removed the weapon from my body and I started to collapse onto the floor “You’re going to be alright,” He hushed me as I cried from the pain “You’re going to be just fine,”

He positioned me almost perfectly, so that if I was found it would be like something out of a movie from the way I was lying. He quickly stood up and walked back over to the door and stepped outside the room.

“Now, you’ll have to excuse me my love, I have business to attend to with Christopher, and then I have to check up on Daddy,”

“You leave him alone,” I spat, more blood spilling between my lips.

“Oh, I’m not going to hurt him,” He smirked down at me “I’m going to save him and bring him home, where we will find you here,
dying on your bedroom floor after being attacked by the stranger who attacked us all at dinner tonight, he’ll see me as the hero when I save your life and take you to the hospital, then he’ll definitely have no objection to you becoming my wife when I pop the question on your eighteenth birthday,”

Before I could say anything else, he was gone.

“Son of a bitch,” I grunted, pressing my hand to my side in an attempt to stop the bleeding “Why do these things happen to me?”

I rolled my head back and saw my phone just on the end of my bed, barely staying on the sheets so with one painful stretch, I reached up and grabbed for my phone, only hitting it with my finger tips and knocking it to the floor.

Eventually I got it in my blooded hand and dialled Erin’s number.

“Come on, come on!” I pleaded with the phone as it rang “Don’t do this to me Erin,”

“Hannah?” She answered her voice shaking, like she was crying “Hannah, are you there?”

“Erin, where the Hell are you?” I asked quickly, trying to move and sit up, but falling back to the floor with a grunt of pain “Sebastian
came to me, he… he fucking stabbed me,”

“Sort of in the same boat over here,” She attempted to laugh but wound up crying “Christopher has me,” Now that I listened closer, I
realised she had me on speaker phone “He took us from the hospital parking lot,” She cried, her voice lowering to a whisper “And I
don’t know what he’s done with Zack,” She started to cry “I’m at the school,” She was beginning to get hysterical “In the sports hall, he has me tied to a chair,” There was a loud bang in the background “Oh shit,” She whispered, her voice trembling more now than
ever “He’s coming back,” Everything was silent for a few moments.

“Erin?” I whispered “Erin, what’s going on over there?”

She screamed, the loudest, most painful ear piercing scream I’ve ever heard, and dropped the phone to the floor.

“Erin?!” I yelled into the phone once the screaming stopped “Erin, answer me!”

“I told you, that you must obey me, because when you do as you are told, you don’t get fucking hurt!”

It was Chris talking to Erin in the background.

The sound of someone picking up the phone and pressing it to their ear came through my end of the phone, and I knew it was
Chris, but I was scared stiff and could only listen to the sound of his heavy breathing.

“Erin isn’t available right now, she’s been a bad girl,”

The line went dead immediately after and I screamed out in anger, frustration and in fear.

I didn’t know where my father was, or where Zack was, and I didn’t know if Erin was still alive. So, I did the only thing I could do right
now, I rolled onto my side and curled up in a ball and cried, while my own blood seeped through my already blood hands, there was so much of it that I couldn’t tell what was mine and what was Jimmy’s. I laid there and cried, until the loss of blood knocked me out.

Notes

Well isn't this dramatic?!
What is Chris doing to Erin and where is Zack?!
At least we know Jimmy is okay.
More to come from the amazing E!! (:
