(Just a heads up, there's some slight sexual themes in this chapter)

Sarah was trying to stay awake. Anne Marie kept her awake by licking her face. She just grunted and then the car came a stop at a gas station. Coulmier turned to Marcus, shaking slightly, "listen, I'm going to need your help....her wounds on her ankles need stitching....I can do it, but I'm going to need some supplies, alcohol, a cigarette lighter....pain medication, whatever they have. Can you fetch them for me whilst I talk to her?"

"Ok, you have a weapon?"

Couldmier gave him his poker.

"I will be back," Marcus got out and went in quietly.

Sarah groaned looking around. Coulmier took something from the glove compartment and went in the back with Sarah, he opened up the first aid kit that they'd got from the last gas station.

"Sarah...," he gently ran the back of his hand over her cheek, "I know you'll be feeling unwell, and I can...I can fix that...but you'll have to be brave my child, it's going to hurt."

Sarah shivered hearing what he said and knew what he was saying and shook her head, "n-no..." she then teared up.

He looked down at her and tried to calm her down.

"N-no..."

"Sarah, please listen...," he gently held her face, "I've done this before, I know what I'm doing. Just a few minutes of pain and you'll heal. Trust me. The wounds are deep and they'll become infected if I don't close them. I know you're scared, but this may be your only chance....I know you want to see your father again, so do it for him, my child."

"...," she teared up, but nodded, "could...could you atleast pray for me first?"

"Of course....we could pray together?" he suggested.

She nodded. He helped her up sitting up and held her hand.

He clasped their hands together, in prayer. He'd never done this before, but he felt she needed the comfort. He closed his eyes, "...oh holy Father, hear my prayers for your child, Sarah. Give her the strength and the courage she's needing right now, let her heal and feel your calming spirit surround her, let her know that she is brave and strong, and will come to no harm. For she is gentle, kind, and deeply loved by many...amen."

"...," Sarah swallowed hard, "lord, please...protect Marcus as he gets the stuff...and Abbe my best friend...my family and friends...please forgive me for abandoning my family and all I have done wrong...," she bit her lip, "...but most importantly...all I ask is to see...my father again..."

Coulmier gently held her face and leaned forward kissing her forehead, "bless you my child, you will see your father again and all will be well. I have faith."

Sarah looked up at him sniffling. "Please...could...could you...ki..."

Suddenly they heard a tap. It was Marcus. He had the stuff. Coulmier unlocked the back door and took the things from him, "thank you Marcus, will you please assist me?"

He opened up the sewing kit that he'd found in the glove compartment and threaded a needle. He then used the lighter to sterilize the end of it, making it clean.

"Sarah...you may want to have a few drinks from the bottle of liquor, it will help calm you and numb the pain...."

Marcus handed her the bottle. Sarah grunted and Marcus helped her up as she took the bottle. She was feeling dizzy. She dropped her face in his chest groaning.

"Sarah...come on, take these pills for me, I know you can...," he held her face up and carefully placed the pills in her mouth and brought the bottle to her lips so she could swallow them. Once she did he moved down to her ankles, "hold her Marcus, I need to hurry and do this..."

He was sweating slightly with nerves as he carefully, but quickly began sewing her wounds shut. She wriggled, squirmed, and cried in pain, but Marcus held onto her.

"It's alright Sarah, almost done....focus on my voice, listen to me...," Couldmier then began to sing for her, You'll be in my Heart.

Sarah was panting as she shivered. She then stopped once she heard his voice. Instantly she remembered her father. She was hurt one time. Because they went to Robin's farmland since Regina and him were planning to live on a farm out of the town.

Belle was with Regina in the house as they looked at the place and Robin and Gold were out in the barn. Suddenly they all heard a scream. It was Sarah. It sounded like she fell in the old well.

They all rushed outside and followed the sound to the well.

"Oh my god, Rumpel, what if Sarah's down there...," Belle began to cry as she rushed to look over the side.

Gold looked for her and then stopped seeing the water. It was shaking as if something disturbed it. "No...," he then climbed up on the well.

"WOE WOE! What are you doing!?" Robin panicked.

Gold ignored him and carefully climbed down in the well.

"Rumpel! Be careful!" Belle cried.

Gold looked up at her and nodded, "I will." He then carefully climbed down more he then got in the water and couldn't feel the bottom. He took a deep breath and dived in. It was pitched black, but he held his hand out making light. He found his daughter and dived in to the bottom and picked her up. He gasped once he reached the surface. "I got her! I got her!!!"

"Robin, hurry with the rope!" Regina yelled.

Robin finally came back with the rope and threw it down. Gold then tied himself and his 9 year old daughter. "Pull us up!" Gold called up as he held his daughter and the rope.

Belle, Regina, and Robin then pulled on the rope hoisting them out of the well. Gold then grabbed the edge and Belle helped him and Sarah put. "Peanut?"

Gold untied himself and checked Sarah's breathing, "She's not breathing."

He then preformed cpr on her. "Come on, princess." He then did mouth to mouth to her and finally she coughed up water.

"Oh thank God!" Gold cried.

"D-Daddy?"

"Shhh. Shhh. It's ok, you're ok...how did you fall in?"

"I leaned too far looking in...I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize, sweetheart. You're ok. You scare your mother and I, but I am just glad you're alright."

He then noticed blood from the back of her head.

"Rumpel, she may have a concussion," Belle gasped.

Gold then picked his daughter in his arms and rushed her in the house. Regina, Belle, and Robin followed. "Belle, hold onto her. I am gonna heal her."

Belle held her daughter up and Gold held his hand up. He then gently placed his hand on the back of her head.

Regina was surprised. He did dark magic. Healing was good magic.

Sarah was then healed and Belle hugged her smiling, "oh thank goodness you're ok, my little peanut."

"Don't ever scare us like that ever again, princess," Gold said. "I don't know what would happen if your mother or I lost you."

"I won't...I promise..."

Sarah remained calm and held Marcus' hand as Coulmier stitched her up. He finally finished and they help her up the seat. She then teared up sniffling. She then looked up at them both, "t-thank you...both of you...."

Marcus smiled slightly, flinching at the sight of all the blood stained wipes that had been used,"...you did great, Sarah."

Coulmier gently finished wrapping clean bandages around her ankles. He wiped the sweat from his brow with his shirtsleeve. He was still shaking slightly.

"You did amazingly, you're wonderful, Sarah. Your courage is inspiring," he smiled as he used his thumbs to gently brush the tears from her eyes, "my brave girl."

Sarah blushed at him.

"...are you...are you guys gonna kiss?" Marcus smirked.

Sarah then instantly blushed dropping her head. Coulmier was doing the same thing and then they both started to laugh and Marcus joined them. After they stopped, Sarah then wrapped her arms around Coulmier. He hugged her back tightly and kissed the side of her head, "Marcus and his sense of humor...," he chuckled softly.

Sarah gripped on him tightly. She then kissed his cheek and rested her head on his chest.

That night, they all slept in the backseat. The doors were locked.

Anne Marie slept on Marcus' lap. Sarah was sleeping on Coulmier with his back against the door. He was awake, but feeling sleepy.

Sarah then woke up. She woke up from dreaming of her parents. She really missed them. She then snuggled closer to Coulmier wanting to be close.
He squeezed her tightly and gently ran his fingers through her hair, ".....I'm here, Sarah. I'll stay awake and watch over you. Try to sleep. I shall pray that you'll have peaceful dreams, my child."

Sarah slightly smiled. He was so sweet to her. She then lifted her head up. She then gave him a kiss on his forehead and rested her head on his chest, "...I love you..."

His heart began to pound in his chest and he worried that she would hear it and feel it. She loved him? Oh but, she had called him her best friend earlier. It was natural to love your friends.

"Thank you, Sarah. I'm very flattered that you consider me your best friend. I...love you too, as a child of God, and as a friend."

"....," she was hoping he loved her more than a friend, but she didn't show she was hurt. She laid her head on his chest and remained silent the whole night. She pretended to sleep, but really couldn't.

Coulmier thought she was sleeping, so he closed his eyes and began to pray in a soft whisper,
"Oh Lord, please bless Sarah with hopeful dreams which will bring her peace, for I cannot bear to see her suffer...and forgive me for my weakness...for I love her..."

"....," hearing this she didn't know if he really meant love for wanting her or friendship like. She basically tried to hint him. Saying he was her best friend, she actually meant more. She then finally fell asleep.

Sarah found herself in a dark room before her was a man. He look terribly frightening. He looked like the Goblin King from one of her mom's favorite movie's The Labyrinth.

Sarah tried to get away, but he then grabbed her. She then squirmed and kicked as the man gripped on her. "No..."

"Now there's no point squirming and trying to get away from me, Sarah. I want you. And you'll want me to, I'll prove it to you," he gripped her face and slammed his lips against hers, trying to force his tongue in her mouth.

Sarah squirmed and kicked panicking. She finally broke free and screamed. She woke up seeing Coulmier and Marcus covering her mouth because of her screams.

"Sarah it's alright, you were having a nightmare!" Marcus told her.

Coulmier looked down, "once again my prayers went unanswered. The Lord must be displeased with me."

"What are you talking about, man? You're a priest, why's He gonna be mad at you?"

Coulmier shook his head, "it doesn't matter," he held Sarah's face gently, "You're safe, Sarah, whatever happened in your dream wasn't real."

Sarah looked up at him tearing, "a man...he...he knew my name...he...he tried to do..."

"...it's just a horrible nightmare, my child. It's over now. Bad dreams usually stem from fears we have in our lives, that is all."

"But no one hurt me...no one ever...violated me like that." She then broke down sobbing.

Coulmier wrapped his arms around her and tried to comfort her, "dreams contain many things, not just things that have happened to us. It could be a fear of it happening. The man might be someone who scares you. Or maybe you don't even know him. I'm afraid dreams don't often make sense...I have them all the time that are deeply disturbing to me."

Sarah started to cry. He looked down at her and held her face brushing her hair back. "Please...even when we find my father...don't leave me? Please?"

"...you want me to stay with you even once you're reunited with your father? He might not approve of that, I know I'm a priest, but I'm still a man."

"Please!" She hugged onto him, "I-I...I also need you....," she started to cry.

"Alright, please don't cry...," he brushed her tears away, "I will stay with you, for as long as you need me. I promise."

Sarah then couldn't take it any longer and grabbed his face and kissed him. Marcus' eyes widened and quickly looked away blushing.

"Mhm-," Abbe's eyes widened too, he was in shock, but then his eyes closed and he kissed her back for a few moments, but then he broke the kiss remembering Marcus was there, "...S-Sarah...."

She dropped her head down tearing up. She bit her lip. Now she felt embarrassed. What if he really didn't love her?

"....we need to-"

"Talk, yeah I agree," Marcus interrupted him, "I'll just step outside for a minute. I need the bathroom anyway," he picked up the poker and got out of the car before they could stop him.

".....Sarah, I can't take this anymore...," Abbe sighed, ".... it may be wrong, but I want you."

Sarah looked up in his eyes. She held his face and kissed him deeply. He held her face too and deepened the kiss further, pulling her close to him, "I love you."

"I love you too...," she moaned in the kiss. He then kissed around her neck and she panted as he kept kissing her neck and was undoing his pants. He wanted to do more. But they had to do this fast. He then lowered down and undone her jean shorts and pulled them down with her red tights slightly down to her knees. He then lifted his head and she kissed him moaning in the kiss.

He ran his hands over her small breasts (she was still wearing her shirt) as he kissed her, "...are you sure?" he asked, his voice shaking slightly, he wanted to be certain before they did this.

"Yes. I want you too...and I want you to be my first...," she kissed his nose.

"I want you to be mine also," he smiled and kissed her again. He then pulled her shirt down so he could kiss on the tops of her breasts as he lay on top of her and lined his hips with hers. He then slowly pushed in her and gasped.

Sarah gasped throwing her head back. She whined slightly. She was definitely a virgin and he could tell. He kissed her cheek gently. She wrapped her arms around him. "Oh holy mother...," she moaned.

He kissed the corner of her mouth and down to her neck as he began thrusting in her faster and soon he was panting and moaning softly. He then gently held her face and looked down into her eyes as he went deeper.

"Ahhh...Coulmier...," she moaned throwing her head back.

"....S-Sarah...," he moaned and lowered his head, kissing her neck as he kept thrusting harder and faster.

Sarah moaned more and he kept going. She gripped on him tighter. Sweat dropped off his head onto her skin. She threw her head back and moaned louder. "Coulmier, I'm...I'm...," she whined.

".....m-me too...," he panted. He gripped on her hips tightly and lifted them slightly as he slammed his own against hers, thrusting as hard as he could, "oh Sarah...I'm... I'm-," he whimpered as he felt himself begin to cum.

Sarah cried out and and came with him. She panted and held his face him.

"I think God send you here...for me," she looked into his eyes.

"You think also?" He then kissed her excitedly, "I thought that since the beginning. I just thought you were brought to me for help, but now...I realized...you are the person I meant to be with...forever."

Sarah smiled and nuzzled her nose against his. Suddenly they remembered Marcus outside the car.

Coulmier hushed her and went out to see if he was ok.

Marcus was fine. He was coming back holding the poker. Anne Marie on in his arm and his face covered in black ink. He must've killed a corpse.

"I'm not bit, don't worry. And Marie is fine."

"Oh, Marcus, I'm sorry...,"

"It's ok," Marcus said.

Abbe quickly pushed him into the car and jumped into the drivers seat, locking the doors. He then started the engine and quickly drove away. He glanced at Sarah in the rear view mirror and when she met his eye, he blushed, biting his lip.

"So...everything okay here?" Marcus asked, breaking the silence.

Coulmier chuckled, he couldn't hold it in, "uh, y-yes. I think so."

Marcus was in the passenger seat and handed Anne Marie to Sarah and grabbed a wipe to wash his face. "I could tell you guys...really like each other..."

"...yes, yes we do. We like each other very much," Abbe said.

"Just be sure to invite me to the wedding," Marcus smirked.

"Meow," Anne Marie meowed. As if the kitten understood everyone.

The next day they came to New York City. Surprise, the undead weren't here.

"Ok, I thought this city would be swarming with corpses. It was the last time I saw it," Marcus said, "I hope they haven't gotten smarter."

"You mean they're hiding? Or evolving somehow so they blend in better with the crowd?" Coulmier said.

"Like looking for where the survivors would go. It's obvious the military wouldn't come here still." Marcus said.

Sarah looked up. Instantly she remembered the da. She was only 11. When her, Emma, Mr Gold, and Henry came here...to find her half older brother Balefire...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Mr Gold opened the door to the apartment.

"Gold, we shouldn't be here," Emma said.

"I don't think he's listening," Henry said.

He definitely wasn't and looked around the apartment. Henry and Sarah looked inside the lockers on the wall. Emma then noticed a dream catcher on the window and went to examined it.

"You find something, dearie?" Gold asked Emma.

Henry and Sarah stopped and turned to Emma.

"Uh...nothing. It's just looks like a dream catcher."

"Well if it's nothing, Miss Swan why you still holding it?"

No response.

"You're lying to me," Gold frowned.

"Let's get back to looking, ok?" Emma suggested putting the catcher back on the window.

"Oh no no no. You saw something, tell me."

"You don't know what you're talking about, old man!"

"TELL ME!"

"Henry go wait in the other room," Emma turned to her son.

"Sarah you too, princess," Gold turned to his daughter.

"But we can to help," Henry and Sarah said.

"Henry!" Emma snapped.

"Sarah!" Gold snapped.

"Go!" They both yelled.

Henry then walked to Sarah and they both walked to the next room, but they both could hear them.

"There's nothing here, the guys' a ghost," Emma said.

"You think me of a fool?" Mr Gold frowned, "You're holding back and I want to know why."

"I'm not holding back," she said.

"Did he tell you something either when you chased him earlier, or just now?"

"Gold..."

"Did he tell you something!?"

"No! He didn't say anything."

"But you talked to him?"

"I...don't put words in my mouth!"

"Tell me!" Emma shut her mouth glaring at Mr Gold. Mr Gold frowned again and gritted his teeth, "Tell me. And I'm gonna make you tell me."

"Your daughter may have magic here, but you don't."

Oh I don't need magic, and I don't need my daughter's help. She's only here because of Henry...and also she has never met her brother..."

He then walked towards her.

"You don't wanna do this." Emma said.

"Do not push me, Emma."

"Don't push me!"

"We had a deal! A DEAL!" He threw down a shelf to make her shiver in terror. "No one! NO ONE BREAKS DEALS WITH ME MISS SWAN!"

"Hey!" A voice screamed and Emma and Gold turned to the front door. It was him, "Leave her alone..."

Sarah snapped back in reality when she noticed a bar. It looked familiar. It was the one her older half brother showed her when they finally met. She begged Marcus and Coulmier to stop here and check out the place. She just wanted to see if he was hiding there for survival at least. They did so and the three of them with Anne Marie in Sarah's bag went inside. More memories came into her head remembering meeting Balefire....

"...Bae?" Gold gasped.

Balefire didn't even dare look at him.

"You came back for me."

"No. Nothing like that," Balefire frowned at him, "I came here to make sure you wouldn't dare hurt her!"

He pointed at Emma.

Emma turned to him. After all these years, he still loved her? Then why abandoned her once she was pregnant. Yeah her step-brother Pinocchio threatened him to leave, but still.

"I've seen what you do to people when they break deals."

"Please, Bae, just let me talk."

"I have no interest in talking to you," Bae turned his head away from him, "just go."

"I'm not going anywhere. I made a promise, the day you were born..."

"Get out of my apartment! All of you!"

"Neal," Emma walked up to him.

"No I got this...," but they stopped.

Gold was surprised. How did they know each other? "You two know each other..."

Both Bae and Emma stayed silent.

"You two know each other, how?"

"You sent me chasing him, remember?" Emma asked.

"No no no. Stop it with the lies, Swan! How do you two know each other!?"

"Mom?" Henry came walking out with Sarah.

"D-dad?"

"What's going on?" Henry came to his mother and Sarah came to Gold, but froze seeing another man in the room.

"Who...who are these kids?" Bae asked.

"My son. And Gold's daughter." Emma replied.

"What!?"

"Is that Balefire?" Henry asked, "Sarah's half brother?"

"I need you both stay in the other room for a little while longer ok? Come on, you two." She took both Sarah and Henry to the other room.

"H-how old are you both?" Bae asked.

"Don't answer him, kids."

"HOW OLD ARE YOU, KIDS!?"

"WE'RE 11!" Henry and Sarah yelled.

Henry then looked at everyone angry.

"Why are we all yelling?" Sarah asked raising her voice.

"Don't raise your voice, young lady," Gold told her.

"No! Tell us what's going on?...is he...my older brother?"

"They're 11?" Bae asked Gold and Emma.

"Mom? What's going on?" Henry asked.

Emma didn't know how to say it. Everything went through her head finding out her son's father was the son's most dangerous and most evilest man of Storybrooke. Not to mention Sarah and Henry were yes best friends and same age, but that would mean she was his aunt.

"Is he my son? And she my sister?"

"No," Henry stopped him, "my dad was a fireman. He died on duty."

Emma came to him tearing up.

"That's what you told me, right?"

"Is this...my son...and this is my little sister?" Bae asked Emma and Gold again.

Emma teared up and held Henry's face, "yes."

Gold looked down and nodded, "Yes, Bae..."

Henry shook his head. He looked at his mother shaking his head. That meant Gold was his grandfather...Sarah his aunt. He then climbed out the window.

Sarah chased after him, but Gold stopped her, "Let him go, princess."

"Henry...," Emma called out and chased after him on the fire escape.

Baelfire then chased after them, but Gold stopped him, "Balefire, please. Please stop, all I want is a chance that we had."

"No."

"Look, son. You came back to protect Emma. To show that she...lived up to her end of bargain with me."

"I know she has, now get out."

"No... our deal was for her to get you to talk to me. If you truly want her deal to be fulfilled, you have but one choice." He pulled Sarah in front of him. " You have to talk to me, son. You can even talk to your sister."

"You both got 3 minutes." Bae said to Gold.

Sarah walked into the bar looking around with Marcus and Coulmier.

"We could use a drink," Marcus said, "good choice to pick a break."

"You're 20 so am I, it's illegal for us to drink," Sarah told him.

"So? Where's that gonna stop us?" Marcus asked taking a rum bottle.

Sarah shook her head and kept looking. "I really hope he's here...maybe he could help us."

Suddenly they jumped when they saw a corpse in the back office. Sarah went up to the corpse, but he didn't charge at her. He was looking for something. He then picked up a crowbar.

"Oh geesh, it's got a weapon." Marcus panicked.

"Won't...hurt...you...," the corpse said.

"It talks!" Marcus cried out.

"Hey!" A man jumped out of another room holding a machete, but he stopped looking at Sarah. She instantly recognized him. He hadn't changed that much. It was Neal.

"Sarah?" Balefire asked.

"Bae!" She ran to him and hugged him. Balefire teared up smiling hugging her back.

"Look at you, you've grown up so fast." He then noticed Marcus about to attack the corpse, but he stopped him, "Hey tell your friend not to hurt my friend."

"It's one of those things, man!" Marcus said.

"I know, but Charlie here is different. One he can talk, and two, he doesn't want to hurt anyone. And I see you found it, buddy." He grabbed the crowbar and ran outside. Sarah chased after him and the others followed.

"Pin! I got the crowbar. Charlie found it," Bae said to another man.

"That's good, now we can be able to get the poor thing out."

The two men came to a parked car. Inside sounded like a crying baby. Sarah was in shock.

"Charlie found her. Poor parents, they were turned and locked themselves outside the car." Bae said to his sister holding the crowbar. "Ok...1...2...3!" He then smashed the back window. The baby was in the passenger seat away from the shattered glass.

"Hang on, kiddo, we're saving you," the other man said as the baby continued to cry.

Balefire unlocked the door and climbed in he reached in and picked up the baby. She continued to cry, but he held her close. "Shhh, shhh, it's ok. You're safe little one."

"That zombie found a baby and wasn't even hungry?" Marcus asked surprised.

Coulmier was even surprised. This creature was obviously different. He was also just standing her watching Neal comfort the child.

"That's it," Neal smiled, "There's a little smile."

"Uh...Baelfire...," Pinocchio tapped his shoulder.

Balefire turned to see what he was freaking out about. Then he froze seeing a horde of corpses walking towards them, but their walking seemed faster.

"Shoot, we gotta get out of here!" Neal turned to Sarah hand her the baby. "How did you guys get here?"

"Dad's car."

"He's here? Let's get in it then."

"No he isn't, but definitely."

"I will hold them off," Pinocchio told Balefire. "If you see my father...tell I am sorry...and that I love him."

"Pin, what are you doing?"

Pinocchio walked toward the horde and held his gun tightly. He turned to Balefire, "Just get out of here, all of you."

Balefire took his sister's hand and they ran to the car with Coulmier and Marcus.

"Charlie, go!" Pinocchio yelled.

"Won't...leave...friend..."

"I know, but Bale needs you now, so go!" Pinocchio yelled.

Charlie then followed the others.

"Come here, you all hungry?" Pinocchio yelled holding his gun.

Once at the car. Sarah handed the baby to Coulmier and ran back.

"Sarah!" Marcus and Coulmier cried out.

Balefire turned, "Sis, what are you doing?!"

"Helping him!" She yelled and turned on the watch. She hadn't used it since the day she ran away to save her mother Belle from those bad men. Once the watch turned on she slammed the watch down not caring what it gave her.

Couldmier, Marcus and Balefire were in shock when she transformed into a strange elf like creature. Her skin was completely covered in diamonds.

"Woe," Marcus gasped.

Sarah then ran to where Pinocchio was. He was crying out in pain as the corpses attacked him. Sarah tried to remember how to use her diamond powers. She held her hands out and shot out diamond shards at the corpses' heads. She then stopped once they were outnumbered and headed back.

Sarah ran to Pinocchio once she transformed back, "Pin?"

Pinocchio looked up at her and was made wooden. But his sides and arms are eaten off.

"Go. Thank you, but you really have to go...leave me..."

Sarah shook her head.

"I will become one of them...I tried to stop them by turning wood, but I was too late...please leave...leave me..."

Sarah sighed and hugged him. She had met him before. Before he disappeared, she heard her father tortured him to find out who the author was. The old author of Storybrooke. Then he was able to escape with Emma's help and left Storybrooke closer to Neal.

"If I see your father, I will tell him what you told us."

"Thank you...," Pinocchio smiled at her, "and look at you. All grown up. And I didn't know you would have powers."

"My father gave them to me."

"Has he...changed?"

"He has...a lot better."

"I was hoping he would." He smiled. "....goodbye, Sarah Gold..."

He then went limb in her arms. She sighed sadly and laid him down.

She ran back to the car and got in.

"You ok?" Neal asked.

"Yes, please...let's go..."

Neal nodded and drove off. "I heard there's a bunker in Washington DC. The last president Bush, feared something bad was gonna happen so he begged his officials to make them. It's like a civilization down there. There's houses, supermarkets, clothes stores, restaurants everything you need under the bunker."

"How did they make that in 10 years?" Marcus asked.

"This has been going on for 10 years?" Coulmier asked.

"The cure was for 10 years. The outbreak has begun. Every state in America is infected now. They are heading to South America and Canada as we speak. I swear if the UK gets involved in this war...we are doomed." Neal told them.

Coulmier laid back in his seat and turned to Sarah. She was shaking and looked scared.

He reached over and took her hand. Anne Marie came to her and purred against her side. Sarah held her and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Maybe Dad is there?" Balefire asked Sarah. "I don't want to leave our family...even if it's the end of the world..."

"You...you want to go back to him?"

"Of course. I left because of how dad was in the past. You see, Sarah...he was a lot worse than you saw...a whole lot worse. He lost mom...my mom...turned to magic...push everyone that loved him away. Hurt those who care for him...even myself...," Neal glanced at her, "but that day I found out you were my sister. I had to do some thinking. Maybe dad really has changed. Maybe he really has become a better man. And I want to see dad again...so let's go to Washington..."

"Road...trip....yay..." Charlie smiled.
