Sitting on the bed opposite Jordan, he just waited for me to talk. I ended up walking out on Sam and seeing me come out of her room he had obviously put two and two together. I felt stupid, embarrassed and yet, calm. Maybe numb was a better word to use. Shifting closer to me, Jordan pulled me into a hug and finally broke the twenty minutes of silence.

"Elise, I should have told you earlier."

"Told me what? My choice in guys suck?"

"So you two are, what, together then?" Jordan asks awkwardly, trying to hide how annoyed he was.

I wanted to tell him that barely a week ago Logan had told me he loved me, but I didn't. How stupid was I to believe that?

"Kinda. We were waiting for this to be over before trying to start something for real." I admitted, now realizing he was probably happy to wait to see if it would be me or Sam to survive. For all the times he made me angry and I wanted to kill him, I actually didn't want to do that now. My mind was struggling to focus on more than one emotion and the loudest thing of all was the 'I told you so' from the part of me that had always made me think being with him or at least close to him was a bad idea.

"I'm sorry Elliephant, really I am."

"It's not your fault Jord, you thought you could trust him and so did I. I guess we were both too stupid to realize it until it was too late."

We fell back into silence, and I could tell Jordan was getting tired. It was nearly one in the morning and it had been a long forty eight hours. I wasn't going to be sleeping any time soon and giving him a quick squeeze, let him go.

"Go to sleep, I'll be in later." The temporary bed the staff had set up against the other wall for me wasn't appealing and getting up Jordan stopped me.

"I meant what I said before Elise, I am proud to have you as my sister. When this is over, we'll go camping and do some of that proper family bonding shit you're always on about. Normal stuff." He promised.

"Please, as if I'd want to go camping. We'll do a family holiday to Italy and stay somewhere that is so expensive Dad will have a heart attack and we can take stupid photos with the leaning tower, of pizza." I smile, and he returns it ignoring my dig at him by bringing up an old family joke. For years he had thought Pisa was Pizza.

"Whatever you want. We can even wear matching t-shirts!" Jordan laughs, and I only smirk.

"Be careful what you wish for Jord!" Though as I close the door, I lean against it for a minute fighting back my tears. What did I want to cry for? "Get over it Elise!"

Walking back down to the nurses' station the old woman looks up at me smiling. She smells of cheap floral perfume like I would expect grandmothers to do, and for some reason I want to hug her and for her to tell me things are going to be ok. I can't be weak now, not over a stupid boy. Not because of Logan.

"Hello dear, can I help you?"

"No, not really, but I believe you've been trying to get hold of a Logan Murphy for Sam?"

"Yes, none of his contact details on file are working." She frowns, typing on her computer for a moment.

"This number will work." I write down Logan's number and walk away, ignoring her thank you that follows behind me. Hopefully by the time he gets here, we'll be gone.

"Elise?" I freeze outside Sam's door and looking in, she waves me over. "Logan's part in this, your brother said he will keep quiet. Will you? He doesn't deserve to be investigated by the Council."

My mouth opens and then closes without saying a word. She wants to keep him safe? The vindictive side of me wants him to suffer, but Sam's innocence was only helped by the state she was in and I actually kind of liked her. Well, did, until her little revelation and now this stupid request.

"His secret is safe with me, but be sure to tell him I said he's welcome when he gets here."

I hate myself right now.

"He's coming?" Her face lit up making me feel nauseous.

"Yeah. I'll see you around Sam, get better soon." I think saying 'die bitch' would be too harsh and now the numbness was leaving me. I wanted him to hurt, I wanted him to suffer because for a moment there I believed he loved me. Better yet, if Sam found out that was bound to add a little salt to the wound and hating myself and my petty thoughts, I went to the elevator needing some air. As I hit the button, Ailin appeared and actually seemed willing to say something to me; so far she hadn't even looked in my direction.

"Hunter, you can't get out of here. Like the hotel room, we have sealed it."

"I don't want to get out of here, Jordan is here - that's it. I'm done. I just want some time alone, can you please just give me that?" If I hated myself a minute ago, I have just tripled it by the shaky way my voice comes out, practically begging her to let me go.

It only gets worse as I dare to look at her and I realize she must know everything too, which of course she does. It was why they left him in jail when they got me out. Sarcastic remarks about giving me a heads up left me and instead I just stared at the metal doors, praying she would let them open.

"It's the whole building, down here and up there. We leave at dawn, be back by then so your brother doesn't worry."

Guess having her pity me was working in my favor and sure enough the second she disappeared, the doors opened. The ride up takes seconds and stepping out into the hospital, the late hour has the place feeling abandoned. A few nurses pass me as I walk to the closed cafeteria, happily talking about going out for a cigarette on their break.

Ignoring them, I keep going and see no one else except for a cleaner, who is too busy moping with music in his ears to notice me step over the bollards blocking the dining area. Getting to the sliding door that opens to the outside dining area, they instantly open and I wonder if that was Ailin's doing since everything else is closed up.

The night air is cool and unlike the air-conditioning inside, refreshing rather than stale and recycled. Going to the edge of the railing, I lean against it and look up into the clear night sky surprised to find the stars were non-existent. The more I looked, the more I realized it was a tiny clue of the wall put up by the Kasha to hide us. With a sigh I headed to one of the metal benches and curling my legs up against me, hugged them as I enjoyed being alone.

It had been a while since I felt safe like this. Tomorrow I'd get to see my parents. Jordan was miles below me and not trusting Sonia thanks to Logan, I needed to ask Ailin or maybe even Hazel to get Alfie from her and see what they can do. I'd make it up to Alfie by going somewhere where he can be in the water, somewhere warm, but most importantly somewhere we can be together. No more leaving him at the Academy. I didn't even know his life span so what if all this time I could have been spending with him was being wasted? Wiping the tears from my cheeks, I refused to think about that.

I must've fallen asleep because the sound of the doors opening behind me, had me waking up. Turning around I already knew who it was and just seeing him made me start to cry all over again, only this time I was really crying - unable to hold back or keep it in. Reece was in front of me in the time it took me to stand up and throwing my arms around his neck, I buried my head against his shoulder and let it out. His arms went tightly around me as he kept silent, offering the comfort and support I desperately wanted, but would never actually ask for. He held me until I managed to stop, and even then he only moved us to sit back on the bench. Curled around him I didn't want to let go and he didn't make me.

"Is Jordan alright?" He finally asked what felt like hours later.

"Yeah."

"And you?"

"Yeah."

"That's not much of an answer." A hint of amusement filled his voice and I nodded.

His hand stroked my hair gently as it hung down my back, while he leant his head against mine with my chin resting on his shoulder. I knew I had to toughen up and let him go, but I couldn't bring myself to move. This little bubble of peace was nice and I didn't want reality to get in and pop it.

We were silent for a few more minutes before he spoke again. "Logan?"

"I don't want to talk about it!" In a very unlady like move, I sniffed and wiped my nose on the sleeve of my sweater before finally sitting back and looking at him. He actually looked better than I was expecting, I dont know why I thought otherwise, but I was happy for it.

"Well, I'm sure what ever he did he had a good reason for it?" He kept going, speaking with an older, wiser tone I kind of appreciated in that moment. It lacked the judgment Jordan would probably be unable to hide and well, Reece knew everything else anyway. We were friends, good friends and just when I needed someone, here he was.

"Yeah, her name is Sam and she's downstairs waiting to be transfered to a safe house." I snapped bitterly, happy to play the role of the bitter and immature one.

"Sam? What?" The hard edge to his words wasn't missed.

"We rescued her, I got Jordan out and we found Opal and the Tracker in another area. This whole time he-"

"He was working for Selene because she had Sam as her leverage." He finished.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Sorry, it makes sense. See he had a good reason, he was being blackmailed." Hearing Reece defend Logan only made me mad again and opening my mouth to argue, I was speechless as I looked into his eyes. "Elise, I believe Logan does love you. You're hurt, but think about it. Didn't she tell you they'd broken up?"

"Yes, but you're wrong!" Shaking my head, I felt a little faint and blamed what ever the doctor had given me. "He lied to me again Reece, all of it was to save her. He got us found in the Council Jail and was going to hand me over to Selene. It was all there, we were all too blind to see it. Even Jordan!"

Again I couldn't stop myself from looking into those amazingly complex blue tones of his eyes, they were so breathtaking and being so close to him again, I forgot the effect he could have on me. The longer I looked at him, the more connected I felt us become just like that night at the club. It was strangly intimate despite the more relaxed and casual nature of our relationship these days. Funnily enough, it was almost as if I could feel him in my mind yet the sensation was over before it even began.

"No, I've spent time with him too Elise. I don't think he is as bad as you make out."

"You're probably right." I answered stupidly, reaching out my finger ran along his strong jawline before tracing his lips. "Reece?"

"Yes?" He answered calmly, too calmly and I didn't miss the way he struggled to swallow.

"How are you on his side?"

Closing my eyes, I fell back against him and got comfortable. My arms curled around his waist as I continued to sit with him and his came up behind me, keeping me close against him.

"I'd like to think it's for the best."

I had no idea what he meant by that.

-x-

"Bye, baby Bunting, Daddy's gone a-hunting. Gone to get a rabbits skin, to wrap the baby Bunting in."

The humming melody of my mother's voice had me opening my eyes. Looking at the white ceiling it didn't make any sense to me as my mind took it's time to wake. I quickly sat up, and looking down at the hand that held my own I traced the arm back to its owner. Mum stopped her soft singing and smiled at me with that reassurance only Mothers could provide.

"Good morning my baby girl."

"Mum?" I practically threw myself at her, making the fold out bed wobble uncertainly underneath me and nearly knocking her off her own chair. "When did you get here? I thought we were meeting you!"

"That's what we wanted people to think. We'll all be leaving together!" She held me tightly, and hearing footsteps we parted as Dad walked in with Jordan. My family, together. Maybe I was dreaming?

"Hey princess!" Dad opened his arms and I quickly got up. For now, he was back to being my Daddy, not Dad or that jerk who helped create me and despite everything, I had missed him.

"Hi Daddy!" He held me tighter than Mum had and it was hard to miss Jordan rolling his eyes as I let him go.

"Daddy? Really?" Clearly he only did it to mock me and I took his bait.

"Shut up Jord!" I snapped causing Mum to sigh heavily behind me.

"Not even a minute."

I wasn't dreaming. We really were all back together.

Poking my tongue out at Jordan he did the same thing back and we all moved into the hallway to go down to the lounge area. The enticing aroma of food guided us and letting the trio go first, I stopped and looked around. Something didn't feel right and just as I was about to call out to my parents, Reece appeared from behind one of the curtains looking more dazed than anything else.

"Hey." I called out, walking over to him.

"Morning." He smiled, and I hugged him in greeting.

"Thanks for last night, sorry about the tears and shit."

"It's fine Elise," Letting me go, he was more focused on quickly rolling down the sleeve on his sweater and I didn't miss the bandage he was trying to cover up. "Come on they're waiting for you."

"What have you been doing?" I looked at his arm before turning back to the cubicle he had come out of, expecting some kind of answer.

"Just ah, freshening up. Come on they're waiting for you. We can talk after." He promised. To my surprise and delight, he took my hand in his and we caught up to the others.

As everyone started to eat breakfast, I noticed Mum had a small white patch taped to her arm too and looking back at Reece, he hadn't touched his food. Jordan and Dad talked about the attack at the underground and the whole Winters issue, some of which surprised Mum who never really knew much about her family history. Finding out who her Dad was had been enough and since he had never been in her life, even after finding out he had a daughter who took after him with Slayer genes, she left it at that. Discovering Francis was now in her past, she was starting to pay more attention to the conversation and poking Reece in his side, he looked at me as if he had forgotten I was even there.

"Wanna tell me what's going on?"

"Later." He mumbled, using the fork to push around the bits of scrambled egg on his plate.

"Ailin will be here to take us away soon, I want to know before that!"

"I'm coming with you so it doesn't matter."

Say what now?

That only made me want to ask even more questions and groaning he sat back in the chair, clearly knowing what was coming.

"Fine, come on then." He got up and the conversation died as I did too. Mum only looked worried and Dad was more suspicious. I was missing something, I knew it. "We'll be upstairs."

No one said anything as we left and I followed behind him obediently, not wanting to push it in case he changed his mind. To my surprise Jordan got up and followed us which didn't seem to bother Reece. The sound of crying hit us first and leaving the corridor, the waiting room with the elevator had two hysterically sobbing women holding each other found in the corner. At sensing us, they turned hopefully and I realised they were waiting for the doctor - the disappointment in our arrival obvious as the dark skinned girl kept crying. It was hard to remember this was still a hospital and not wanting to be drawn into their misery, I inched closer to Reece and ignored them as best I could until we were into the elevator.

"Wonder what happened?"

"Vamp attack, they lost the blondes brother and the other ones partner is in surgery with a broken pelvis and spinal injuries. He's probably going to die." Jordan explained.

"Well that's being positive!" I mumble sarcastically into Reece's back, leaning against him something felt different about being around him now. He didn't seem like himself, actually, he was more like the guy I originally met back at Darius's bar. The doors opened and I stopped leaning against him, ready to walk out when Reece tensed and stopped abruptly leaving Jordan and I to look at each other confused.

"What?" I asked dumbly, looking out nothing rang alarm bells.

"Nothing," Reece answered stepping out yet I could tell he was still hesitant about something. Everything in his body language was tense and alert.

We ended up going over to the cafeteria and once we all had a coffee, found a seat in the back corner. Now I was the one feeling uneasy, but it wasn't the usual sense of danger or demons that me looking around. From where I sat I could see the flow of people entering via the side entrance and the all too familiar figure of Logan strode by with purpose through the lobby area and to the elevator.

"Is that who I think it is?" Jordan spoke first and looking at the other two, both were staring in his direction. If Logan sensed being watched he didn't show it, quickly getting in as the doors opened.

"Yeah." I answered weakly, unsure of what to do or say. Maybe I should go and gouge out his eyes? A kick in the balls was always a winner or maybe I should find a knife to stab him in the back with? Really the possibilities were endless and distracted, I didn't notice Jordan stand up. Reece did and quickly pulled him back to his seat.

"What did you want to do?" Reece asked calmly, shaking his head at Jordan who looked like steam was about to burst out of his ears at any moment.

"Hear what you were going to tell me." I answered firmly.

"But what about-" Jordan started and I held up my hand to silence him.

"Reece, what's going on?" Somehow I managed to hold back all of my rage and the disappointed ache in my chest.

"Since the, well, you know how. Um?" He stuttered and I had never seen him so nervous. He stared at his hands, which were shaking slightly as he clasped them together repeatedly while taking a few deep breaths and looking at Jordan, he only stared at his coffee. He knew what was going on.

"Jordan, tell me."

"He should!" He argued, looking at Reece with nothing but pity and the pair entered their own glaring contest. And I thought I was the immature one.

"It didn't work." Reece blurted out, giving in first and saving me having to try and get it out of them.

"What didn't work?" I asked dumbly, not missing the way Jordan closed his eyes as if to block it out.

"The doctor put a mixture of some fairy shit and slayer blood into me to try and reverse the change-"

"Change as in the vampire thing?"

"Yeah. It didn't stop the change, it just - delayed it." Reece rested his head in his hands, looking down into his lap as he took a few deep breaths.

"But. I don't understand. You're ok, you've been fine and you're out in sunlight and you don't feed on blood. Do you? Reece, you're wrong!"

The feeling of security that I had found since last night started to crack, falling away piece by piece. Jordan reached out and took my hand and I promptly pulled it away. "This morning, you and Mum - she gave more of her Slayer blood didn't she?"

"Yes, but they didnt use it. They used Opal's because she is from two Slayer parents with a strong lineage and Mum only had her Dad's side to go on." Jordan filled me in, the pity in his eyes now directed at me as I spaced out, feeling detached from the conversation.

"After you fell asleep, I took you to your room and went to see the Doctor. Ailin got your parents and we tried again. Now we just have to wait for it to go through my system and see what happens. I'm coming with you, but I wont be with you. The Council-"

"No, you're staying with us." I answered firmly.

"What if it doesn't work, he could attack any of us!" Jordan growled through clenched teeth.

"He won't!" I snapped back, turning to Reece. "this whole time you've been fighting it?"

So much fell into place. Logans comments about Reece being able to look after himself. The way he fought the vampires on our way to the Academy and a shiver ran down my spine as I thought how I saw his eyes turn red after I had fought Alison. I hadn't imagined it and my reasons for being scared of him when I first went to the Underground now seemed logical. I had sensed something, I just hadn't known what.

"Yeah, I think Jordan is right Ellie. If this doesn't work, I don't know what I will do now that..." He trailed off, not finishing and a seed of fear planted itself in my stomach. I know I'm not going to like what he has to say.

"Now what?"

"Nevermind. There is one more thing too," I nodded, wanting him to continue. "On my way through town last night, I was stopped by Selene."

"The others don't know this do they?" Jordan whispered, leaning in closer.

"No." There was no hiding his guilt.

"What did she want?" Again I wasn't sure I wanted to know.

"You. The reason they did it, the vamps - she said she knew I'd be looking for a cure and that she could give me one, if I set you up and gave you back to her. From what I got out of her, the fact you escaped kind of pissed her off and she also asked me to find out what magic you have around you to stop her witches from tracking you and him." He pointed at Jordan. "She didn't worry at first until she realised she lost you again."

"Bitch!" I hissed, almost wanting him to throw the surprise of her turning up right now at me so I could end this once and for all. I had thought our escape had been too easy, and now I know why. She didn't think we could do it and even if we did her minions were meant to have stopped us. I owed Oz big time, but had no idea how it was now hiding Jordan too.

"So you expect us to trust you after what happend with the Tracker? Is this meant to be what keeps you on our side until the time comes to betray us?" Jordan snapped, opening his jacket slightly he obviously was trying to threaten Reece by letting the gun be known.

"Reece isn't like Logan, Jord." I had thought that a hundred times, and I knew it was true.

"I told her to go to hell, she laughed and said she'd meet me there before the fae with her had them all disappearing. I took every secret passage I knew to get here and throw them off my trail. This place is so heavily guarded they'd be stupid to try anything." Reece had a point, but Jordan wasn't buying it.

"You have to admit, she is smart!" My comment had both guys looking at me like I had grown three heads. "Think about it, she set it all up perfectly. You, Me, the deal with the Winters - Logan, and Reece. If only we didn't make it so hard for her, it would have been able to be perfectly executed."

I can only imagine how pissed off Selene must be right now. I had taken Jordan away, and got her leverage with Logan out. Don't really care much about Opal and her contingency of Reece was failing her. She'd be getting desperate and desperate people make bad decisions. If only I had stuck with my college dreams and didn't let Logan's stupid little 'not the Bunting I thought you were' dig get under my skin. Selene could have won so I guess I kind of owe him for that. I can't help but wonder if she'd be as forgiving over that part.

"You're right. So now what do we do?" Jordan sighed, relaxing slightly as he sat back in the chair.

"I dont know, but I need to get Alfie."

"Alfie? The demon snake thing?" I wanted to punch Jordan for not caring about him, but he hadn't met him so he didn't know how special Alfie truely is.

"Yeah, lets go find Ailin because I'm going to need her help on this." We got up and went towards the elevator. Once in, I hit the code for our level and just before the doors could close, pushed Reece out and barely made it out myself as I followed him.

Grabbing his hand, I ran towards the stair well and since we had a few minutes alone I had to find out what else he was going to say. The slamming of the door echoed up and down the empty passage and the flickering globe above us only added to a gloomy atmosphere. If this was a movie, it would be the part of the killer jumps out and we keep on running to our deaths.

"What are you doing?" Reece yelled in a whisper, looking up and down to make sure we were alone.

"You dont know what you'd do now what? Tell me! Please!" I begged, tired of all the secrets and lies.

"Elise, I don't think I should tell you."

"I'm not giving you a choice right now!" Crossing my arms I waited, knowing he was going to give in.

"If I tell you, you can't be scared of me again."

My resolve weakend and I nodded, closing the distance between us on the landing. Taking his hands in my mine I nodded. "I promise."

"I feel better now, since getting here - being with you, the transfusion might be helping," he paused, letting my hands go before rubbing his face. "It's not so hard to fight around you, I don't know why, it makes me stronger or something. But even then I can't stop focusing on one fucking thing!"

"Whats that?" I swallowed nervously.

"Your blood."

Two words that had me feeling as if my blood now ran cold. I froze, repeating to myself that I promised him I wouldn't be afraid and as he came over to hold me, I couldn't push him away. Just like that night in club when I should have clued on to what was happening, his face is buried against my neck to rest on my shoulder and the steady warm rush of breath on my skin has goosebumps breaking out over my arms.

"I'm sorry. I can't help it. It's like the answers to all my problems, to the worlds problems are beneath your skin. You smell so good, so promising, so tempting." He whispers into my ear. I'm waiting for his kiss, his touch - his bite, but instead he steps back. "Sorry."

"You can use compulsion on me." I weakly mumble, even though the dizzyness hasn't taken over my mind, I know thats what happened in the past. Looking into his eyes now, that charge isn't there. It was last night, but he hadn't used it. Or did he - was that how I managed to fall asleep? How many other times had he been able to do it?

"We're immune to vampire tricks." He scratched his head, clearly confused.

"No, I felt it. Not now, but before. You probably don't know what you're doing."

I remember Darius trying to use on me a bunch of times, some in the training we did and it never worked. I knew the signs and our instincts took over to stop it. Where were those instincts now?

"You kissed me to get my blood. You bit my lip before I shot you."

Reece cringed, his hand instantly going over his chest where the bullet had hit. "Yeah, I know."

"You tasted me, it was my blood. What if that can cure you? We know you can take the tranfusions, what if it's me who donates? Maybe thats why you're drawn to me?"

"Or what if that makes the change happen quicker?"

"We learnt some of this at the Academy, remember the videos of the starving ones going through the change? Animals dont work, injecting the blood doesn't either which is why the doctor was able to do it in the first place. Reece, this might work!" I owed him so much, I couldn't not let us try it. This whole situation was my fault and I had to fix it.

"I guess I don't really have anything to loose?" He was holding back, whether it was fear or excitment, his emotions weren't on display right now.

Going back down to our hospital level, I was surpised Jordan hadn't come to kick my ass yet. I felt better knowing, well understanding what was going on a little better with Reece and so far I was keeping my promise of not being afraid of him. This had to work, it just had to and as we stepped out into the first waiting room I now knew why Jordan hadn't come after us.

Dad and two of the Council guards had just broke up a fight between Jordan and Logan. For the most part, it seems like Logan was only trying to defend himself from Jordans attack and as the doors dinged closed behind us, Dad was able to use the second of distraction to get Jordan well away from Logan. "Save it son, come on."

Dad looked at me as if looking for an answer and I only shrugged, struggling to keep my mouth shut as I remembered no one but us knew what had been going on. Jordan's behaviour was going to be hard to explain and luckily now no one was around to witness mine.

"Bunny?" Logan managed to get out, wiping the blood from his nose onto the sleeve of his jumper. "I'm so glad you're ok!"

His eyes flicked over to Reece who stepped back, torn between following after Dad and Jordan and staying with me. Somehow the willpower to stop me from doing what Jordan didn't get to and knock him out had me standing still, even if my fist clenched in preparation.

Logan could tell something was off, looking between the pair of us - he just didn't know what. "Elise? What are you all doing here?"

He either hasn't seem Sam yet or she didn't tell him how she got here. Then again he could just be playing dumb.

Opening my mouth I couldn't work out what to say.

"What are you doing here?" Reece took over, and Logan narrowed his eyes at him.

"I got a call to come in, they've had me waiting out here for like twenty minutes and then Jordan appears and goes crazy and god I've missed you!" Logan took a step in my direction and as he reached out to touch me I moved backwards.

"Don't."

"What?" He hesitated.

"Do not pretend to care and do not touch me." My voice was heavy with the venom that was brewing within my gut. I hate him. I fucking hate him. The longer I stood there, the more Jordan's attempt was going to look like training thirteen year olds. "You have no idea how much you should be thanking me for not killing you right now and for saving your ass. If ever see you again, it better be as a missing person on the Network."

Walking around him, I had to go. I should be running. Thankfully the anger killed any chance of tears or for making me feel something more than I wanted to. We were done.

"Bunny, wait. What are you-" As he grabbed my arm, I swiftly moved the knife from my boot at held it at his throat. His face was priceless as it went through every emotion known to man and slowly Reece brought his hand up to cover mine and made me lower the knife before taking it from me completely.

"I said don't touch me."

I kept walking, not caring what was going on between him and Reece now and finding the doctor, started to tell him about our idea. He got things ready as Reece returned and I tucked the knife away, glad to have it back on me.

"You ok?" He asked softly, ignoring the doctor as he checked me over.

"Fine."

"Elise..."

"I'm fine, lets do this before anyone tries to stop us." He nodded, relucantly taking a seat as Mum came in.

"Whats going on with you and Logan? Jordan is furious and, what are you doing?"

"They're just helping test a new theory I have." The doctor lied, quickly hooking us up to the empty blood bags.

Mum didn't seem to believe that, but clearly her hopes for a Tracker Hunter wedding had come back to life and then just as quickly killed. "Will it take long? We're meant to be leaving soon."

"Not at all, they'll be out in no time." The Doctor smiled and Mum left us alone.

By the time we were done I was feeling a little light headed and Reece let me lean on him as we went out into the corridor. Ailin appeared in front of us frowning and nodding at Reece, took his hand.

"Elise! Let me explain!" Logan appeared out of Sam's room looking as if he had just seen a ghost. I guess in some ways he had and in the second before Ailin made us disappear, I stuck up my middle finger at him.

"Fuck you Tracker." Maybe it was the blood loss or just the stress of everything getting to me, but then I simply burst out laughing before getting lost in the rush of being teleported to our next location.

I really hoped Logan knew how lucky he was with having things ending between us like this. I saved his girlfriend, we're all covering his ass from the Council and he got to walk away with certain parts still intact.

Stupid fucking Tracker.

Ok, now that's all done with... on with the end! Two more chapters, two more diary entries and an epilogue to go!! :(
