Almost Done For

Lucy

I almost didn't make it, but I did. God, what would Damien do if I hadn't? Katie was really dumb to do this. Damien would kill her if she'd hurt Teddy, and there was no WAY he'd go out with her then, either. Other girls had crushes on him, but Katie was INSANE. No matter how hard she tried, the cores that ran with Teddy and Damien were too deep.

OK, yes, Teddy was resisting those feelings like crazy - but whether she faced facts or not, she wasn't getting Hans back. Even if Hans didn't want me, she wouldnt get him.

I wouldn't let her.

But I DID make it, and hell was it close. Katie was... different to us. I hated to admit it, but she was STRONGER than us, whether we liked it or not. We were only stronger in out wildest dreams, and there was no WAY I could save Teddy on my own.

"DAMIEN!!! GET YOUR FRICKIN' ASS DOWN HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR GIRL TO DIE," and that was it. I knew, no matter what crazy dream he was having, Damien would of awaken at my call, and no matter what be felt like hed be down his as fast as his legs would carry him.

"Lucy," Katie laughed, and it wasn't cheerful, it wasn't happy, it was sincere CRUELTY. It was clear she didn't care who Teddy was or what life she could have - she had her heart set on killing her.

"I have to admit, I didnt think I'd see you again. I planned on killing Teddy, going to Damien and making him realise we were perfect together, and we'd leave, happy as ever," she frowned. "guess this won't run as smoothly as I planned,"

"Damien would never do that!" I yelled at her, determined to distract her long enough to keep Teddy safe until Damien got here. Granted, I didn't like Teddy. I had to keep her out of the way so Hans would LET GO. But, the thing was, if she died, Hans would never be mine. He'd know id been there, know I'd been able to (maybe) save her, know I'd left her there to die.

And what was the point in that?

"he'd never forgive you for killing her, and of all things there's one thing you have to understand - Damien doesn't love you, Katie! Oh boo hoo, it's all such a sad love story, but you have to suck it up and DEAL with it! There's no way to get him back - you had your chance, and you FOILED IT! You broke him into tiny little pieces! Don't expect him to just forgive you for that!"

She just looked at me as if I'd lost my mind.

"don't you think I know all this, baby? I've grown up knowing - grown up hating myself for doing what I did - but there are ways around complications. And I WILL get the chance to try and find them!"

It was almost over. There wasn't anything else I could do to stall her. So I waited.

"if this is what you want, go for it. I don't object. But know this, Katie - he will never forgive you for it."

And that, just that simple sentence, stalled her long enough for Damien to come crashing in.

Damien

As soon as I heard Lucy's cry, I was up and running, down to the caverns where I just KNEW her voice was coming from. That cry hadn't been to annoy me - Lucy wasn't the killer, not this time. But she was standing with the victim. The killer I did not know for sure. I actually had no idea.

When I slammed open the door, sure enough, there was Lucy, and Teddy wrestling with - KATIE, of all people. I hated the bitch more than anyone else I knew. But at the moment, I had to stay calm, because that bitch had my girls life at risk.
