The big city.

Max took a step toward him. "You and every other big headed morron down here gets on my last neveres!" He said.

~!!~
Darren frowned. "Let her talk." She said.

~!!~
Jade felt tears fall down her cheeks. She took Raven's hand and stepped back. "We have to go." SHe said, sounding like she didn't want to.

"Let's walk outside then" Rose said as Ashley and Carmen woke up.

Carlisle walked outside slowly on his crutches.

Carmen and Ashley walked outside together. Carmen grabbed Ashley's arm and disappeared.

Rose walked out as well and set a gentle hand Carlisle's good arm and waited for Cora to get on her other side.

"The goddess punished the man I love, an angel, for something I did and made him a fallen," Melanie said quickly. "His name is Warren. He doesn't deserve it, at all, and I was wondering....if there's any way to change him back," She said quickly.

Joanna frowned.
~!!~
Andrew smirked, and was suddenly back on his feet. "I dare you to try that again, runt," He growled. Elliot glared at him.
~!!~
Cora was out a few moments after them, and stood on the other side of Rose. "Ready when you are," She said quietly, still holding Annabell.
~!!~
Raven shook her head, pulling out of Jade's grasp. "No!" She said. "You may give up on him so easily, but I won't!!" She shouted. She knelt down next to Sable again, who pushed her away. Suddenly he stood up, and she saw the look in his eyes all too well.

She stumbled back, slightly taken aback. "You.." she started, and found herself with her back pressed up against a tree. He grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up off the ground.
~!!~
Brianna pulled back, and found she was crying. "Sorry..." She mumbled. "N--Nevermind," She said quietly. "Just forget I said anything."

James frowned. "No I can try." He said softly.

~!!~
"Does he want to be truned back?" Darren asked her, frowning deeply.

~!!~
Max spat at his feet and moved his foot as if he was about to do it again. Instead he punched him.

~!!~
Jade gasped. "No." Jade said. "I wanted to leave so he wouldn't hurt you." He wispbered. She reached out and touched his wrist. "Let her go."

Brianna nodded slowly. She smiled slightly at him, not bringing up anything else. "Sorry I woke you up," She said quietly. Ivy was laughing next to her.
~!!~
Melanie almost hesitated here. "Why wouldn't he?" She finally asked. Joanna kept her frown.
~!!~
Andrew stumbled back, and raised a hand to his cheek. Suddenly he started laughing. Elliot came out from behind Tyler.
~!!~
Sable squeezed tighter, and finally let go when Jade touched his wrist. Raven fell to the ground, sucking in deep lungfuls of air, her throat feeling raw and burning.

"Sable!" She shouted, voice hoarse. Sable had his eyes turned on Jade now, holding one of the warmth they had before.
~!!~
Hymn finally felt herself leave all sense of reality; she didn't know who was there, and didn't care. She closed her eyes, and let the darkness have control over her.

Damon had had his fun and left Bailey alone. He instead wondered the park.

Rose nodded and touched her arm and disappeared and reappeared in they're living room. "Now, if you'll excuse me I have a demon to break up with." she let them both go and disappeared once more.

Carlisle went over to the couch and sat down, setting the crutches away. "I suddenly love this couch." he said

James shook his head. "It's fine." He said slowly.

~!!~
Darren rolled her eyes. "Because he loves you." She said.

~!!~
Max galred at him. "What's so funny?" He asked.

~!!~
"Sable...." She whispbered, and took a step back.

Andrew shook his head, still laughing. He disappeared.

Elliot frowned; he was insane. He had to be.
~!!~
"Yes, but he doesn't deserve to be where he is!" Melanie cried. "He would be happier here!"

"Without you?" Joanna asked. This made her fall silent for a moment.

"Please," She said quietly.
~!!~
Brianna smiled at him, and nodded. A few minutes later she was back at her own front door. She waved at him before running inside.
~!!~
Sable took a step towards her, and then suddenly turned away. He closed his eyes tighlty, and looked as though he were fighting within himself. He disappeared.

Raven was sobbing, which only hurt her throat more.
~!!~
Cora frowned as she watched Rose go, then smiled slightly at Carlisle. She walked over to him, still saying nothing, watching him with worried eyes.

Carlisle looked up at her, "Thank you for making him bring me back. I wouldn't be here if not for that." he said with a small smile.

Max turned his eyes to Elliot. "Stupid girl." He spat and disappeared.

~!!~
James closed the door, and went to his room.

~!!~
Jade fell down on her knees, also sobing.

"Just....please," Melanie said quickly. "Can you, or can you not?"

Joanna frowned, and glacned at her sister, still touching her hand.
~!!~
Elliot flinched. She turned away once he was gone, her hands visibly shaking.
~!!~
Raven stood up on shaky feet, and turned away from Jade.
~!!~
Cora shook her head. "Don't even think like that," She said quietly, but she offered him a small smile.

Carlisle sighed lightly, "It's true... And you know it." he told her.

Annabell yawned lighty and nestled her face into Cora's neck.

Darren sighed. "Against his will?" She asked. "No, I don't think would be happy." Darre paused. "We could...."

~!!~
Tyler wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay."

~!!~
Jade didn't look up.

"You could..?" Melanie asked. She sounded hesitant now.
~!!~
Elliot shook her head, and hugged him tightly.
~!!~
Cora smiled at Annabell, and then looked at Carlisle again. She sighed, but said nothing more about it.
~!!~
Raven disappeared.

"Is that what you want?" She asked. "Then yes."

~!!~
Tyler pulled away. "Stop blaming yourself." He said.

Carlisle also dropped it and smiled at his sister nuzzling into Cora. "You'd make a good mother." he told her. He then realized what he had said and looked at Cora, not knowing what to say.

Melanie closed her eyes. Warren didn't deserve the suffering that the underworld brought, the pain. She opened her eyes and nodded. "It is," She said. She knew this would mean she couldn't see him as much, or maybe not even at all anymore. The thought made her almost change her mind. Almost.
~!!~
Elliot nodded slowly. "Right," She said quietly. "I'm sorry," She whispered, looking down at the ground.
~!!~
Cora's breathe caught in her throat at his statement, and she just gave him a sad smile, shaking her head. She saw that he realized what he had said, and just shook her head again.

"I wouldn't, and it doesn't matter, "She said softly, careful not to wake the sleeping Annabell.

Darren looked at her sister. "What do you think?" She asked.

~!!~
Tyler leaned down and kissed her softly.

"I think if she wants it, we should," Joanna said softly. "This angel sounds like he did nothing wrong, punished only for the deeds of her." This made Melanie flinch, but she nodded.
~!!~
Elliot blinked in suprprise, but kissed him back. She sitll couldn't believe that this was her best friend; she stilil felt bad everytime she realized that he had liked her all that time.

Carlisle looked at her sadly and sighed, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean that we should... I just meant..." His voice caught in his throat at the end.

Darren nodded.. "Fine, you have your wish, bring him here, and we'll have him changed."

~!!~
Tyler pulled back. "Little one are you okay?"

Melanie nodded, and disappeared. She reappeared in the underworld. She didn't know where to look for Warren, or where to even begin.

"Warren!" She called.
~!!~
Elliot nodded slowly. "I'm fine," She said. She smiled slightly at him, a real smile. "Thanks," she said quietly.
~!!~
Cora shook her head. "Don't worry about it," She said quietly. She looked away.

"Melanie?" He called vack, not far away, only a few turns.

~!!~
Tyler took her hand, and kissed the top sotfly.

Carlisle watched her sadly, he felt bad about slipping up.

Annabell yawned once more and shook her head lightly as she woke up. She still rested her head on Cora's shoulder and yawned again, "Hello Cora." she said sleepily.

Cora smiled down at Annabell. "Good morning, sleepy," She said. She was still amazed by how much she reminded her of a younger version of herself.
~!!~
Melanie sighed in relief as she heard his voice. She ran faster, and almost knocked him down as she turned once more.

"Warren!" She said. "I have something I need to show you," She said quickly.
~!!~
Elliot closed her eyes, and for a brief moment nothing seemed so bad. Andrew, the pain in her wings, all that was happening, nothing. She was here with him, and that was all that mattered right now.
