I look at my corpse with a frown and still see Spector. He smiles at me, looking like who he had been before he started using.

"Hey little bro...Aren't you going to hug your big bro?" I hug Spector, torn between wanting this to be real and wanting it to not to be real. I pull out of the hug, looking at Belle who seems to be screaming into my chest. "You'll be okay thanks to our little brother...He really loves you. Do you need me to explain or would you like Time to?" I frown and see a guy who looks ageless. He smiles at me, looking at an hourglass.

"Your younger brother is about to sacrifice himself for you," Suddenly I'm in my old math room and Caleb's hugging Paul. "Caleb...It is time," Caleb looks at Time with tears going down his face. "The longer St Clair is dead...It's getting less likely he can come back and I'll have to take him on. Please say these words exactly 'I offer my soul for the soul of St Clair Young' and as it's being said, Paul's heart will be ripped out to pay the necessary price. Is this understood?" Caleb kisses Paul briefly before looking directly at me.

"Yes...I understand," I shake my head at him, wishing he would listen. "I have to do this, St Clair...I knew you were my brother and I want to save you. Also, I want you and Belle to be happy," Alessandra climbs in through the window and puts her hand over Paul's heart. I shake my head at them all and Spector holds my arms behind my back. "It's time," I start to cry and as he starts to speak, Alessandra shoves her hand into Paul's chest. "I offer my soul for the soul of St Clair Young." He collapses to the ground as Paul's heart is ripped out. I scream wordlessly as Paul falls onto Caleb's chest. I open my eyes and sit up straight, breathing hard. Belle looks so happy and Jade's boyfriend, Dante runs in.

"I am sorry, St Clair," I don't reply as he starts to heal me and looks at Ephraim who's still alive, holding my sister's corpse. "Why is he still alive? Why have you not killed him?" Ephraim looks up, holding the knife in his hand.

"Because I told them I was going to kill myself so I can see Maguire again," He kisses Maguire and looks at me with a sad smile. "She wanted to be human again...She wanted to see you again...She wished she could've died instead of you...She got half that wish." He puts the knife to his throat and I get up, taking the knife from him.

"I'll help you if you tell me if you killed Spector," Ephraim looks at me and nods. "Did you kill Spector or as my sister referred to him as Stoned?" Ephraim shook his head.

"I did not kill Spector...My mother did," I kneel down and put the knife over his heart. "Please, St Clair. Let me see her again...Would you like me to tell her you forgive her?" I nod and put the knife in his heart. "T-Thank you." He falls and I put his hand in Maguire's before looking at everyone.

"We have to bury Paul, Caleb, Maguire and Ephraim," Everyone blinks at me as I say Ephraim. "The only reason he did this was for my sister...For love. I'd do a lot of things for love, probably that as well," Everyone nods and I go over to Belle, awkwardly. "Sooo...Should we talk about what we said?" Belle smiles at me and kisses me hard. Now that I'm not dying or about to die, the kiss is even better because it's not the last one...Hopefully. She pulls out of the kiss with a smile and fixes my glasses.

"We don't need to talk. I meant what I said and I know you did...You did mean it, right?" I give her a look and kiss her briefly. "If we mean it then we don't have to talk." We kiss again and I look at Ramona and Lukas.

"Guys...This far from over...Maybe you two should talk about everything?" They both blush, avoiding each other's eyes. "Guys, we could literally die in minutes-" I black out and wake up on the beach with the others. "Damn it! I was about to get two of my friends to admit their feelings for each other," The others laugh except Jesse who looks dead inside. "Jesse, are you okay? Do you know your prophecy?" He looks at me.

"It's too late...They kidnapped me, my sister and our friends," The others stop laughing and he shoves his hands in his pockets but I can see them shaking. "My Guardians aren't here yet and I'm worried for everyone I care about. Please for the love of God, get here quickly. When I got here, they were pulling my sister away from me." Everyone looks understanding about this and Jade takes his hand.

"We'll get there as fast as we can," Jesse doesn't believe it but he nods anyway. "I'll get my boyfriend to run there and help you out." Jesse nods again and someone claps sarcastically behind us. We turn and see Ephraim's mother. She points at us and I feel something being carved into my chest.

"Ephraim wanted to die," I wheeze as she stops. "I just helped him...He loved my sister and I'm going to bury him." She walks forward and touches my face as the others disappear.

"Strange...You remind me of my son Kazimir," She pales and steps back. "You'll be spared no matter what, St Clair. You're my grandson." She disappears but I don't wake up and notice Time.

"Why does she think I'm her grandson?" Time doesn't answer and a memory nags at me. My dad yelling about how he put up with a kid that wasn't his and my mom couldn't deal with one of his...Oh God. "Please tell me my dad is my dad. Tell me the guy who beat me up was my dad and not a vampire." I never thought I'd ever want my dad to be my dad. Time looks sad.

"I can't do that, St Clair." I wake up.
