Tom
Residence “Forget
it…” Kassie Tom said, turning to
Patrick Donavon’s
body. “I need to do something.” Kassie
leaned down over Patrick’s body and gently kissed him
on the lips. Robert
Carlyle turned away, and turned into the kitchen and
picked up the phone. “Damn… the lines are dead –
just as I figured.” Kassie
opened her eyes, and pulled her head back from
Patrick’s lips. She got up off her knees, and turned
away from the body. “Goodbye…”
Kassie murmured. “Miss you…” She walked into the
living room to see Darla Tom breathing deeply on the
couch. “What’s
the matter, honey?” she breathed. “You look so
sad…” Kassie
nodded, her lower lip quivering. “Yes… It’s
Patrick…” Darla’s
mouth opened. “No, Dear… he’s past away…?” Kassie
nodded, and could no longer her emotions inside. She
could still see Patrick full of life. The many times he
had tried to save her life – brave. Kassie wrapped her
arms around her mother, and tears welled up in her eyes. “He
can’t really be dead…” she sighed, trying to
convince herself. “It was just a little fall. How…
how can a man like him just die like that? It doesn’t
make sense!” Kassie let out a small laugh. “He
can’t…” Darla’s
face said it all. It held a look of pity, and one of
sadness. “Oh,
God…” Kassie cried, covering her face. “He’s
really gone…” She continued to let her emotions flow
through her. Meanwhile,
Robert took a sheet from the hallway closet and brought
it up to Patrick body. “Sweet
dreams,” he said solemnly. He draped the thin linen
over him, creating a topographic silhouette of his still
body. As
the sheet settled, Robert couldn’t help but stare. He
couldn’t help but feel Patrick was still breathing, as
the sheet raised and lower as if in time with breaths… An
Abandoned Building on Mystique Road Iris
Torres looked down at Adam King’s collapsed body. He
wasn’t moving, and she was partially relieved. The
other half felt sorry for what he had gone through. But
this time, people had managed to gather around. Iris
slowly moved away from the scene, and she saw a black
limousine pull up to the curb next to the collapsed
building. “What’s
going on here?” came the voice from inside the dark
vehicle. Iris
stepped back at Julian King stormed out from the back
door. His graying hair was groomed to perfection on his
head, and matched delicately with his black suit. He
came up to Iris and looked her straight in the face.
“What’s going on here?” he repeated. “This is my
property, and I demand to know what happened.” Iris
was angered by the old man’s reaction. “This
property of yours collapsed because of this earthquake!
You should have had it destroyed.” Iris turned to the
circle of people. “We were almost killed!” Julian
grabbed Iris’s arm. “What were you doing inside in
the first place?” “Excuse
me, sir?” she said, annoyed. “Please don’t grab me
like that. And to correct myself, my brother was killed
under the debris.” Julian
shrugged. “Serves him right,” he said callously. “What?”
Iris demanded. “I’ll admit that my brother wasn’t
the best, but you didn’t know that. That is awful.” “Listen!”
Julian spat. “My time is valuable. I got word that my
son was here. I’d like to get him away from these
people, and work on getting his name cleared.” “That’s
the easy part,” Iris stated. “My brother was the one
who stabbed me. You can clear your family’s precious
name,” she slurred coldly. Julian
turned to Iris. “What??” Presence Beach Brianna
Huber’s eyed popped open. “No… they’re going to
drown her. Maybe she’s outlasted their purpose! No!
Stop! We need to save her!” Mateo
Consuelos watched helplessly as Skye Lore was pulled
underwater. Pulled under the bubbly, frothy surface… “No!”
Mateo cried out, rushing out to the water to save her.
Brianna grabbed him harshly by the arm. “Don’t
you dare go in there!” she demanded. “What the hell
are you thinking? She isn’t human. Hell, maybe she’s
going back where she came from!” Mateo
looked back to Brianna with cold eyes. “She never came
from where you think. I’ve been with her, and in the
last few days she’s begun to show a different side.” “Like
before, when she was asking for help?” “Precisely.
The demons – or whatever – were trying to control
her. She needs help!” “And
that’s where the exorcist comes in!” Brianna
declared, unable to let go of her “brilliant” plan. Mateo
turned around. “What good is she dead to us?” Brianna
shook her head. “Don’t be stupid. If the fact that
she’s weakened means anything, then we don’t need to
worry. She’ll come right back.” Mateo
stared at her. “Why would she come back?” “Regeneration,
of course!” Brianna looked out to the water. “She is
probably getting more power out there.” Mateo
shook his head. “Where do you get this stuff from?
First, you’re an expert on exorcism, and now you know
how evil regenerates itself. How long till witches come
up?” “Don’t
be silly,” Brianna sighed. “I’ll bring it up when
the situation presents itself.” She looked out to the
bubbling water. “Hey, could this be it?” Suddenly,
long black hair floated to the water’s surface. Then
Skye’s head came up, along with her body. Brianna
grabbed Mateo arm, and pulled him away. “Let’s go. I
don’t have a good feeling about this…” Mystique Road Gillian
Evans could smell the gas, stronger than before. “Addy
needs to get out, or she’ll die. This car could catch
on fire really quickly!” Giovanni
Pike continued to work, the light of the flames eating
at the car dancing on his face. “It’s
spreading fast!” Brooke
Wright cried out, feeling the heat. The
bright flame had devoured the entire seat. Giovanni
could feel his skin burning up. Nevertheless, he
continued to free Addy’s trapped body. Brooke
came up beside a worried Gillian. Brooke pulled her
aside, further away from the car. “I have the
information I called about earlier.” Gillian
looked at her co-worker, shocked. “This isn’t a very
good time,” she insisted. “Maybe later, but now my
mother could die.” Brooke
looked at Gillian with an arched eye. “You have never
cared for your mother like this before.” Turning
away, Gillian got back to the car. “Is everything
alright?” Gillian asked. Giovanni
shook his head. “The flame is doing well, though?” It
didn’t seem funny at the time. An
Abandoned Building on Mystique Road Iris
didn’t want to talk to Julian at this moment. There
was too much going on in her mind right then. “Is
it a coincidence that you, your brother, and my son were
all here at once?” Julian demanded. “Were you aware
of his location this whole time?” Iris
nodded. “Me and my brother kept him tied up in our
basement.” Julian
grabbed Iris briskly. “What the hell?” Iris
squirmed away from his grip. “He came to my house. I
thought he tried to kill me!” “Thought?”
Julian repeated bitterly. “You had a lot of nerve to
do something like that.” “I
didn’t know any of this!” Iris explained. “This
has been an awful time for me. Do you not even care?” Julian
passed by her. “No. I could care less. You could have
signed my brother’s death warrant!” He made his way
across the ground to the circle of people. “Move along
people!” Julian called out. “Nothing more to see
here!” Iris
followed the arrogant man. “Listen!” she said. “We
should really leave this for paramedics.” Iris
didn’t know why she needed to speak this way to the
town’s leading man. Everyone else moved out of the
way, but she remained. Her mind was clouded with
adrenaline, and she didn’t want a man like this to
just push her around. She
was tired of being pushed around. Being
unable to defend herself got her to this position, and
she needed to make changes. Julian
came up to Iris. “My son looks like he was drugged?
What the hell is going on here?” He waited, but then
shook his head. “Wait… I don’t want to know. Wait
for my lawyer to settle this.” “Pardon?”
Iris asked, flabbergasted. “Lawyer?” “Yes…”
Julian announced proudly. “I’m going to sue you.” Iris,
for a split second, snapped. She
slapped Julian across his face. Presence
Beach Skye
was almost completely out of the water. She kept a blank
look on her face, and she walk at a steady pace up the
muddy beach. “Come
on, Mateo,” Brianna coaxed, pulling at his arm.
“Let’s get away from her. She seems very creepy to
me right. I don’t feel right.” Mateo
stayed put. “She looks fine to me,” he responded.
She tried to break loose, but Brianna was a persistent
woman. “Can you let go?” “Please…”
she pleaded. “Let’s get out of here.” “No!”
he said, breaking out of the grip. He moved closer to
Skye slowly approaching body. Her clothes stuck to her
because of the water. Brianna
slowly backed away, wanting to drag Mateo away. “Leave
us alone!” Skye finally said, very coldly and
mechanically. She approached Mateo on the beach, and she
held his hand. “How
do you feel? What happened?” Mateo had many questions. Skye
smiled, almost grinning. “Better than I could have
hope…” Mateo
was pleased by the response, but Skye’s grip on his
hand seemed to tighten. “Why are you holding so
tightly?” Skye
shrugged. “I don’t want you leave me.” Brianna
was listening, wishing that Mateo would get away. A
shiver ran up her spine as she saw Skye run her fingers
through Mateo’s hair. “I
have an idea…” Skye teased. “What’s
that?” Mateo asked cautiously. Skye
took a firm grip on him head. “This!” Brianna
screamed out loud as she watched the scene. “Hey!”
Mateo cried out. “What are you doing?” He
then saw Skye’s eyes turn a bright red. It felt as if
her hands had melted on his head, and he knew she
wouldn’t let go. Brianna
fell backward as a flash of orange light almost blinded
her. She turned back to see Mateo with his mouth open,
and his eyes rolled back. “Mateo!”
she cried out. Mateo
realized he had made a mistake. Seeing Brianna running
away from the corner of his eye, he wanted to get away. But
he couldn’t. The inhuman force he felt coursing
through his body caused him to lighten. And he no longer
wanted to fight back. He
just wanted it to continue! Torres Residence Bo
Torres stormed into Iris’s house. Two policemen
followed him. “Iris?”
Bo called out, looking around. “You here?” He
prepared to check upstairs, but he stopped and looked on
the floor. Blood. “Oh,
no…” he groaned, turning to the officers.
“There’s blood on the ground.” They
followed the trail till it led outside the house. Bo
left to find his daughter. For some strange reason, he
was worried for her. Mystique
Road Giovanni
could feel his skin close to blistering. He then whacked
the pedals wedged around Addy’s foot, and pulled her
with his strongest force. She
was freed! Brooke
rushed to Robert’s car that he allowed her to borrow.
As Giovanni dragged Addy onto the pavement, Brooke
brought the car up beside him. “Let’s
get her in!” Gillian insisted. Giovanni and she lifted
Addy’s unconscious body up and into the open car door. “To
the hospital?” Brooke asked. “Yes!”
Giovanni exclaimed. As
the car took off, Gillian looked through the back
window. The entire car was engulfed in flame, and
quickly thereafter a small explosion was heard. Giovanni
checked Addy’s vitals. “She’s
very weak,” Giovanni concluded. “And she slightly
burned on the right side of her face and arm.” Gillian
felt bad for her mother, but couldn’t help notice how
Giovanni was holding her close to his body. Tom
Residence “Gaaahhh!”
Darla cried out as the contractions worsened. Robert was
coaching Darla, but it didn’t seem to be working out. “Breathe
deeply,” Robert ordered. “Don’t hold your breath.
I’ll let you hold my hand.” Robert
let out his hand, and as soon as Darla grabbed hold he
regretted it. “Ow!” he cried, trying to get her to
let go. “You… are… hurting… me…” Meanwhile,
Kassie couldn’t help but stay with Patrick. She wiped
a few miscellaneous tears from her eyes, and she stared
at the sheet. Still. She
continued to stare, unable to look away. Still
– up! – Still – down! “What…?”
Kassie asked herself. She blinked several times, and
rubbed her eyes. “Don’t loose it now, Kassie.” She
looked again, and she saw the same thing. It looked like
breathing! “Patrick!”
she exclaimed in delight. She rushed over to his body
and pulled the sheet off his face. “Patrick… can you
hear me?” Silence.
(Beside Darla, in the background!) She
looked at his chest. She felt it. Still. “No!”
she cried, getting up. “Why do I do this to myself?
He’s dead!” “I’m
dead…?” came a faint voice. Kassie
turned around. “God, you’re going crazy…” She
looked again, and could definitely see his eyes moving.
“But if you aren’t… Patrick!” She
rushed up to his body again, and this time he looked
very much alive. “Patrick!”
she cried out again. Patrick’s
head turned to the side, and his eyes opened slightly.
Through his dizziness, he managed to crack a smile. Kassie
did the only thing that could come to her mind. She
kissed him. Back
in the living room, Robert had managed to break free.
Darla didn’t seem to be doing very well, and this was
worrying Robert. “Breath
deeply!” he continued. Darla didn’t look good at
all. He continued, “Breath… don’t stop… don’t
–” He stopped. She
was bleeding. “C’mon!”
Robert coached, shaking her slightly. “Breath…” He
realized that her breathing wasn’t continuing.
“No… breath… don’t stop… breathe…
Breathe!”
