Quinn jumped up running out of the closet she was in, running straight into the three girls.

"What are you doing here?! I told you to run!" Quinn screamed as Rory shook her head.

"I couldn't leave you!" Rory shouted as Tommy appeared behind Quinn. Rory quickly pushed Quinn away and Tommy began chasing Rory, Ziggy and Athena around the kitchen.

Quinn came up behind, Tommy. Stabbing him through the back as Cindy jumped out of the vent.

Tommy turned towards her. Her heart broke as she saw him like this, as images of him in the afternoon flashed through her mind.

"Stay away from my sister!" Quinn sobbed, as she stabbed him again in the stomach. She didn't understand why Tommy wasn't trying to axe her but none the less she stabbed him through the throat. His body fell the floor as Cindy let out a groan.

"Holy shit." Cindy whispered as her eyes landed on them all.

"You swore." Ziggy gasped from where she was on the floor beside Rory.

"It's becoming a habit." Cindy told her as Ziggy let out a relieved chuckle. Cindy helped her sister up as Quinn helped Rory and Athena.

While Cindy was giving Ziggy a whole sister talk, Quinn was with Rory giving her her own.

"You've nearly died so many times tonight, and I wasn't there to protect you." Quinn sobbed as she held Rory in her arms.

"You should've run while you had the chance." Quinn told her as they pulled apart.

"Right back at you." Rory spoke, and both the sisters chuckled.

"You've just killed your boyfriend." Rory reminded, and Quinn shook her head.

"I don't wanna think about that right now. I'm more concerned about all of us getting out of here." Quinn told her, as Athena was sat by herself not getting an older siblings talk. Instead she was staring at her brother's dead body.

Soon, Alice had joined them and Quinn could see the love between her and Cindy.

Alice had claimed to find Sarah Fier's hand which she was now showing on the table.

"What? What is that?" Ziggy asked as she looked at the six girls round the table.

"It's Sarah Fier's lost hand." Alice told her and Rory stared at the hand with disbelief.

"Nurse Lane..she spent her entire life looking for this. A way to stop the curse that took her daughter." Cindy explained and Quinn looked down sadly.

"Without her hand, her grip on the land holds firm. The curse will last until body and hand unite." Alice read from the book that was on Nurse Lane's desk before.

"That was on Nurse Lane's desk." Rory breathed out as Quinn nodded.

"This led us to the hand bone. And if the legend is true, that's mean her body's still buried-" Alice began, before Athena cut her off.

"By the hanging tree." She finished as she looked down at the map.

"We can end this." Cindy smiled as she looked around the table.

"No more murders, no more curse. No more.." Quinn added, as everyone nodded, she paused as she looked over at Tommy's body as a tear slipped down her cheek. "Pain."

"We can save Shadyside..tonight!" Cindy exclaimed, as Rory nodded.

Ziggy moved the hand towards her, wanting to expect it only for her blood to fall on the bone. She let out a loud gasp causing everyone to turn to her.
Ziggy gasped as Rory placed her hands over Ziggy's.

"Ziggy?" Rory asked as she stared at her.

"My nose.. I bled on the hand and..I think I just saw her." Ziggy told everyone as Cindy shared a look with Alice.

"Who?" She asked and Ziggy let out a heavy breath.

"Sarah Fier." She replied and Athena's eyes widened.
"She was angry."

"We have to bury this thing, right fucking now." Alice breathed out as Quinn jumped up with Cindy to grab a shovel.

Cindy threw a shovel to Quinn and Ziggy as they headed to the door.

"Will I have dig with my hands?" Alice asked as she didn't get a shovel handed to her as Quinn gave one to Athena and Rory.

"No, you're staying here." Cindy told her, and Alice shook her head.

"Come on, I can hop just fine." Alice laughed as she began hopping around.

Cindy titled her head to the side giving her a stern look.

"I watched my dad go to jail when I was six. I watched my mom steal so I could eat. First time I cut myself I was twelve. It was after- Well, you know when." Alice started as she turned to Cindy.

"And now tonight I watched your perfect boyfriend turn into a monster." Alice spoke, as she turned to Quinn. "And kill the only person who was there for me. I've waited..my whole fucking life for this. And now I've found it. Let me see this through. For Arnie..for Tommy..for us. Because I love you Cindy Berman!" Alice cried as Cindy gasped.

"Oh my god you were right, Quinn." Athena breathed out as she turned to Quinn who wore a smirk.

"Us Rosier's are always right." Quinn smirked as she tapped the side of her nose.

"I love you too, Alice." Cindy confessed as Ziggy and Rory grabbed each other's hands.

"I don't want you to die." Rory whispered to Ziggy as they're foreheads touched.

"I don't want you too either." Ziggy whispered as Alice began taking again.

"For Shadyside." Alice spoke and Cindy nodded.

"For Shadyside." Cindy repeated as she nodded towards Ziggy.

"For Shadyside." Ziggy repeated nodding towards her girlfriend.

"For Shadyside." Rory repeated nodding towards her sister.

"For Shadyside." Quinn repeated, as she nodded towards her dead boyfriend's sister.

"For Shadyside." Athena finally spoke as she smiled at the girls.

"Alice!" Cindy screamed, and Alice span round to be met by an axe in the face as Athena and Quinn screamed.

Quinn stepped forward, swinging her shovel at him, knocking him into the wall. She stabbed the shovel through his neck, shoving him against the wall.

"I love you! But die! Please!" Quinn angrily shouted, as she pressed down on the shovel too much, causing Tommy's head to fall. Quinn let out a loud scream as her soulmate's head fell to the floor as Athena rushed over to a trash can, throwing up.

Cindy rushed towards Alice's side, crying.

"Alice, stay with me, Alice." Cindy sobbed as Alice gasped for air.

"I love you, Alice! Please stay with me!" Cindy begged as Alice took her final breath.

"No. No. Alice! Alice!" Cindy shouted as she shook her.

Athena slowly turned her head towards the kitchen door as she began to hear singing.

"Do you all hear that?" Athena asked and Rory nodded as the singing became louder.

Rory and Athena walked into the kitchen, slowly as a hand appeared out of the vent.

"Fuck! Run!" Athena screamed as she grabbed a shovel from the floor. The five were all running towards the hanging tree.

"There it is! Start digging!" Cindy shouted as Quinn began digging straight away.

Rory used her hands, digging as fast as she could, as Cindy used her shovel.

They were going to die.
