"I love you" Darryn smiles, kissing Mellisa on the head. She grins. Hugging around his waist. "I love you too" She replies. She suddenly starts blowing raspberries onto his naken stomach, He laughs. Pushing her away. "Oi, you two, Get some rest, right?" Sam orders, looking down at them from the gaurding post. Drinking a hot drink. "Aye, Sorry" Darryn says, kissing Mellisa. "I just need to do something before I goto bed, you go along"

"Ii'll be waiting" Melissa grins, holding his hand until she is too far away to reach. She walks inside the cabin, shutting the door behind her. She walks down the small hallway, Looking into the first room, Carlos lies there with a book. Reading under candle light. She smiles. Knocking quietly on the door. Carlos peeks up from the book. Placing it face down on the page he was on. "Hello Mel" He grins, Moving over to give her some room on the floor. She smiles, sitting down on the other sleeping bag which belongs to Darryn. "You alright?" He asks, he could see the worry in her eyes. "I'm...I'm OK" She smiles, turning green then white then back to green suddenly. Carlos places his hand on her forehead, She backs up slowly. He bites the inside of his lip. "You're Hot, Are you sure you're OK?"

"Positive" She mumbles, standing up. Having second thoughs. She starts sobbing, burrying her head into Carlos's shoulder.

"...And then, The two witches joined forces with the prince to defeat the monster..." Annie grins, shutting the book. "Oh come on" Sam giggles, pulling the covers upto her chin. "Just read one more chapter!"

"No, You must wait and see." Annie grins, putting the book on the bedside table. "No peeking!" She whispers, spotting Sam's eyes locking onto the book. Sam grounds, burying her head deep into the covers. "Now, your sisters are sleeping, you sleep too." Annie walks to the door. Opening it and looking back at Sam. She is lying on her back, smiling at Annie, watching her. "Night" She whispers, waving her arm from the bed. Annie grins, waving back. "Good night"

Darryn walks down the pathway, to the gaurd tower. He climbs up and stands behind Sam. "Sam" He whispers. Sam jumps, dropping his knife. Turning around, he bends down to pick it up, But Darryn beats him too it. "Sam. Why did Flake leave?" Darryn asks, holding the knife. "None of your concern, now goto sleep, there is a hunting party tomorrow, You're apart of it!" Sam commands, holding up his rifle at his chest.

A howling noise is heard from a distance, Sam turns to look and Darryn runs up behind him, Stabbing him in the back. He howls along with the animal in the distance. But in pain. Darryn pulls out the knife. Covering Sams mouth with his hand as he quickly pulls him down the stairs. Sam kicks and thrashes about. Before a gunshot is heard.

The sun slowly rises. Robbie is awakended by the alarm clock in his room. He gets up and looks at it 6:15am. He groans. He gets up and walks outside. His eyes widen in shock as a crowd gathers around a spot. He runs out. "What is going on?" He asks. He looks over at Melissa, Crying into Tayna and Carlos's arms. They comfort her. "Someone shot Darryn last night..." Sally hangs her head. Sadly. "I never knew him but he could of been a good fighter."

"Well where is Sam?" Drake runs out asking. Looking around "He is suppost to be incharge! I can't find him anywhere!"

"Sorry Drake, Havn't seen him!"

"Maybe Sam shot Darryn!"

"Impossible!"

"RIGHT EVERYONE MOVE OUT THE WAY!" Drake shouts. Pushing through the crowd. "Get back to your duties!"Robbie looks at the dead man, lying on the ground face first. Blood splattered around his head and body. Where he had been shot.

Shot...

On the body....

"HE ISN'T DEAD!" Robbie shouts, running over.

"What?" Drake whispers.

"He has been shot. In the body. You need to hit the head! Remember!"

Drake nods, "RIGHT EVERYONE! GET ON WITH YOUR DUTIES!!!"

Without a hesitation everyone slowly shuffles out. "Help me move him" Drake whispers, they both grab under his arm, pulling the giant man out towards the gates.

Molly looks out her window and watches at the blood stain is left behind. She quints her eyes at the movement of Darryn's head.

He suddenly jumps up, Grabbing onto Robbie. Drake grabs his gun and whacks Darryn's undead head. Causing him to flop down. Everyone stares at the two men and the dead body. "Quickly..Drag him..." Drake whispers, they tug at him. Walking out the gate.

The hand slowly wraps a new bandage around the body, Iin the bin was the old one. "What...What happened..." Sam groans,

"Ssssssh" The man says, the light in pitch dark except for the candle in the corner of the room.

The man leans in, His face uncovered by the light. It was Flake. "Flake..." Sam laughs. "Did you..."

--Last Night--

He watched as Darryn drags Sam from the gaurd post. Blood dripping through Sam's top. He grunts, He was standing outside the gates. Darryn hadn't noticed him in the pitch darkness. He grabs his knife, not wanting to grab attention. He walks forwards. Stopping himself. He grins. Putting his knife away. He takes out a gun, Aiming at Darryn. He takes a shot. Darryn falls to the ground. Bullet through his heart. Killing him. Instantly.

-

"Don't worry. I took care of it" He grins. As Sam slips out of consiousness.
