Chapter 26:

Huntress and Death Itself ~Demon Hunters~

Assassins Who Cleanse Sins Away


Narrator: "This world is surrounded by crime, greed, and many other sins. When people gave up hope for peace there are a group of assassins that would cleanse the world. If you're truly tormented by anyone and want vengeance, then you must call upon The Sweepers and they will take vengeance for you."

Seven is out at the training field with the assassin group and Ray. Seven is practicing his aim with Meadow while the others observe.

Meadow: "Now try to aim at me."

Seven: "Are you sure about that?"

Meadow: "Those arrows can't harm me."

Seven: "Alright."

Seven uses his bow and arrow at Meadow but he dodges the arrow quickly and pointed his sharpened nails at Seven's neck.

Meadow: "Now your dead."

He stops pointing his nails at Seven.

Seven: "Holy shit!"

Angel: "You're a little too young to say that you know."

Seven: "I didn't ask for your comment."

Ray: "It's as if you're not trying at all."

Seven: "I am trying Ray!"

Zachary: "He does know no one is there, right?"

Christiana: "It's only Ray."

She pets Harmony and she purrs a little bit.

Henry: "Now try using your telekinesis to pick up my gun."

He tosses his gun on the ground and Seven uses his telekinesis to pick it up. The gun starts to float up in the air.

Violet: "Impressive."

Tom: "I didn't think psychic users were for real this kid must be the real deal."

Seven: "So cool." He uses his hand to move the gun. "I can use my hand with power too?! Awesome!"

He moves the gun to Henry's hand.

Henry: "Not bad for a beginner."

Christiana: "Now try using your telekinesis but this time using your astral projection to pick up my sword."

She puts her sword on the ground.

Macy: "What's astral projection?"

Meadow: "In a way being in two places at once but it's in an astral form."

Seven closes his eyes and uses his astral projection to pick up the sword but he barely got the sword on the ground.

Seven: "Ah." His astral projection vanishes as he opens his eyes. "Damn it!"

Ray: "Looks like you need to use that power more."

Seven collapses on the ground.

Seven: "Can we take a break I'm exhausted?"

Christiana: "Fine by me."

Everyone left the field except for Seven and Ray. Ray walks up to Seven and sits next to him.

Seven: "Any reason why you'd compare me to my dad before?"

Ray: "Not really."

Seven: "The one time I finally get some practice with my powers is just when I'm about to start back school next week. I had all summer to practice with them and they were all busy."

Ray: "You should have practiced by yourself you might have made a better impression on them."

Seven: "So when did you and Christiana start to team up on demon hunting?"

Ray: "It happened a few years ago though it seemed like it was yesterday. It wasn't just demon-hunting I wanted her to help me with spirits for reuse to move on."

Seven: "I thought once you died you move on."

Ray: "I know but some spirits refuse it and become earthbound until their unfinished business is completed."

A flashback to January 11th, 1845 Christiana is eating breakfast with Meadow and Harmony. Harmony looked up and notices Meadow's hand moving up and down on Christiana's thigh.

Christiana: "No Meadow not now."

Meadow: "Why not?" He moves his hand up under her skirt then Harmony bites his other hand. "Ouch.."

Christiana: "That's her way of saying stop."

She gets up and gets her school bag.

Meadow: "That's one way to put it."

Christiana: "I hope you two will behave while I'm gone."

Harmony looks sad to see Christiana leave.

Meadow: "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Christiana: "How can I forget?" She kisses him goodbye. "I'll see you after school."

She leaves the house and as she is heading for the train station, she sees police officers at one of the houses about someone they know has died. After that, she entered the school and went to class.

Classmate 1: "I can't believe it happened!"

Classmate 2: "Me too."

Classmate 3: "To think Chasten was attacked and killed at the school last night."

The teacher walks into the classroom.

Homeroom Teacher: "Okay class it's 8 O'clock so everyone turn in your mobile phones to my desk. Since everyone knows about what happened last night, I advise all students to go straight home after school all sports and other clubs along with after-school activities have been canceled until further notice."

Students: "Yes ma'am."

Homeroom Teacher: "Okay now we can start class. I hope everyone has done their poetry assignment. Let's see Ms. Collins you can start first."

Christiana stands up and says the poem she wrote.

Christiana: "As a lay wide wake hoping you'll find me. Crossing each day as I wait. My one true love come to me. When we meet my heart will race. As we spend our days looking at each other's eyes. As we share a kiss to seal our true passionate love for one another. My love I will wait eternally for the two of us can finally meet."

Homeroom Teacher: "Perfect as usual Ms. Collins 100% for you. That was such a romantic poem it's as if you're declaring your eternal bond for the one person you truly love."

Christiana: "In some way teacher."

Homeroom Teacher: "Okay you can sit down. Let's see who's next."

After the teacher called all the other students to recite their poems the bell rings ending the first class. All the students left the classroom to go to their next class.

Girl Classmate 1: "Wow Collins you got the body and the brain I'm so jealous."

Girl Classmate 2: "Yeah that poem you wrote was so romantic you must have written it about a certain guy, didn't you?"

Christiana: "It was about my boyfriend."

Both Girls: "Boyfriend?!"

Girl Classmate 2: "Lucky I wish I have a boyfriend."

Girl Classmate 1: "Me too. Hey, Collins would you mind looking over my math homework before class starts?"

Girl Classmate 2: "Yeah me too I can't afford to get another bad grade in math."

Christiana: "You know you have to figure it out yourself eventually."

Girl Classmate 2: "I know it's just that it's really hard."

Christiana: "I suppose but this is the only time I'm helping."

As they are walking into the classroom Ana is looking afar trying to find something that could make everyone at the school hate Christiana.

Ana: "What does everyone see in her?! Argh! I can't stand her!"

She went back to the freshman and sophomore hallway and overhears her friends.

Marcie: "Did you guys notice how Ana's been acting lately?"

Celia: "What do you mean?"

Marcie: "She seems kinda off maybe a little distant. Well, you know the hotel I work at right?"

Sarah: "Yeah."

Marcie: "Well I was working the other night and I saw her there all dressed up and wearing makeup and with an older man he looked like he was in his thirties. I called out to her and she acted like she didn't know me."

Celia: "I didn't think she was into older men."

Sarah: "You don't think she working as you know?"

Celia: "I doubt it her mom is loaded she wouldn't need a reason to work."

Marcie: "Unless she's doing it to get attention. I knew she looked familiar when I first met her when she changed schools. I have seen her at the hotel before with another man so it must be for attention."

Sarah: "Must be…"

Celia: "Don't forget about every time we plan to have lunch outside the school grounds she hesitates and says no."

Sarah: "She must not want to be seen by us."

Marcie: "Maybe…"

She walks up to them.

Ana: "Hey guys."

Celia: "Oh hey."

Marcie: "We're still planning on leaving school grounds for lunch do you wanna go?"

She hesitates a little.

Ana: "I wish could but I promised my parents I wouldn't leave school grounds during school hours you know because of the students getting killed and all."

Sarah: "Okay…"

Celia: "Okay then I'll see you at history class."

Marcie: "I'll see you at gym class."

They went to lunch and Ana went to the cafeteria to eat lunch.

Ana: "What makes them think I don't want to be seen with them? I don't want my date to see me with my friends. If they find out my reputation will be ruined just like at my old school."

Later on, the final bell rang and every student went straight home from school. Christiana is walking home until Ray appears next to her.

Christiana: "Hello death how are you?"

Ray: "I need your help."

Christiana: "With what?"

Ray: "A young high school student refuses to cross over."

Christiana: "Earthbound? I thought spirits can't be earthbound and that they have to move on no matter what."

Ray: "That's just a myth spirits can be earthbound if they have unfinished business."

Christiana: "Why can't she move on?"

Ray: "She wants someone to stop the killings that are happening in the school grounds all over the city."

Christiana: "Killings?"

Ray: "Demonic killings innocent students getting killed by a demon."

Christiana: "Is that so? Well, I guess I'll handle it so where is this girl?"

Ray: "Most likely at her school Chadic Public High School."

They went to the school to find the spirit of the girl who was killed at the school.

Lucille: "I still can't believe he didn't show up to school again. Don't tell me he's still grieving…"

Ray: "There you are."

Lucille: "It's you. What are you doing here?"

Ray: "To help you I got someone here that'll stop the attacks."

Lucille: "Really?!"

Christiana: "So you're the dead girl?"

Lucille: "Yes you can help me?"

Christiana: "Yes."

Lucille: "Oh thank God!"

Christiana left the school and went home.

Christiana: "I'm back. Got any hunting jobs?"

Meadow: "No."

Christiana: "Good because we have a hunting job well more like volunteer hunting."

Meadow: "Volunteer?"

Christiana: "There's a demon killing students at all of the high schools in this city."

Meadow: "Alright where do we go?"

Christiana: "Let's try Chadic Public High School the demon might be there."

They changed into their hunting clothes and went to the school to find the demon.

Lucille: "Hm? Your back?"

Christiana: "Of course."

Lucille: "Whoa is that your boyfriend?"

Christiana: "Yes." (Thinking: "So to speak.")

Lucille: "Wow your lucky he's so handsome."

Meadow: "Where did you get killed at?"

Lucille: "At classroom 3 on the second floor."

Christiana: "The demon may not even be up there it might be downstairs."

Meadow: "I'll check the classrooms and you check downstairs."

Christiana: "Fine."

Meadow went upstairs to the second floor while Christiana went downstairs to find the demon.

Lucille: "So how can you see the dead anyway?"

Christiana: "I was born with this gift."

Lucille: "I see why death wanted you to help me."

Christiana: "Apparently not a lot of people have this gift."

Lucille: "What do you mean?"

Christiana: "It's a rare gift only certain descendants have this gift."

Lucille: "Oh. Hey, do you think that death will let my boyfriend see me?"

Christiana: "What makes you think that he'll do that?"

Lucille: "I just want to tell him that it's not his fault that I died."

Christiana: "I doubt it the living can't see the dead unless they have the gift."

Lucille: "Oh…"

After searching the school for a couple of hours they decided to stop the search and leave the building.

Meadow: "Couldn't find the demon either?"

Christiana: "Nope so the demon must be long gone now."

Then they heard a boy scream.

Meadow: "It came from over there."

Lucille: "That's Brubeck Prep School."

They went to the school but by the time they got there it was too late the boy was already dead from decapitation.

Christiana: "Is that how you died?"

Lucille: "Yes that monster cut my head off just like this guy's."

Lucille vanishes away from the school and Christiana and Meadow went home. Christiana finished taking a shower and putting on her pajamas to go to bed.

Christiana: "Do you know what kind of demon kills people by cutting their heads off?"

Meadow: "No not any that I'm aware of."

As she is putting on her shirt, he notices the scar on her shoulder knowing what he did to her.

Christiana: "What is it?"

Meadow: "I knew I wanted to mark you but not like that you know when I was turned into a hellhound."

Christiana: "I told you before you weren't yourself a warlock did that to you."

Meadow: "I know but…" He picks her up and carries her to the bed then lays her down gently on the bed. "If I'm going to mark you, I'll do it my way."

He unbuttons her shirt enough that her collarbone is exposed and starts to kiss her collarbone gently. She moans softly as she blushes then he bites her gently.

Christiana: "Urgh… Ah…"

She moans a bit loud.

Meadow: "I want to hear more of that sweet sound."

He bites her harder as she moans louder then he bit her so hard she starts to bleed and he stops when he had a taste of her blood.

Meadow: "Argh!" His eyes turned red as his desire for her blood made him want more of it. He pins her down on the bed. "I want more!"

Christiana: "You won't do it."

Meadow: "What makes you think that?!"

Christiana: "I know you Meadow you won't drink my blood."

He hesitates then finally calmed down and his eyes changed back to green.

Meadow: "Shit…"

Christiana: "What's wrong Mem Mem? You didn't drink my blood."

Meadow: "I know but I still can't control myself when it comes to your blood."

Christiana: "Is it because it's rare?"

Meadow: "Yes…rare blood tastes like pure blood except the rare type has a more delicious taste. It's like an addictive drug after having one taste you're hooked."

Christiana: "Is that so?"

Meadow: "Yeah… I'll be back."

Christiana: "Getting a bite to eat."

Meadow: "Yes.." He left and went into the city to find some blood to drink. "Not many options."

While he is looking around for some blood Ana is walking along and spots him.

Ana: "That guy is really handsome I know I've seen him before." She got a better look at him. "He's always with Christiana so he must be her boyfriend. I wonder what will it take for him to dump her for me." She runs up to him. "Hey! I believe we met before you know when you were with Christiana."

Meadow: (Thinking: "I don't usually drink from teenagers unless I have no other options.") "Is that so?"

Ana: "Yeah."

His eyes turned red and uses his power of manipulation.

Meadow: "You will take your arm out and let me drink your blood."

Ana: "Of course…"

She takes her arm out and Meadow starts to drink until he notices that the blood tasted bitter and spits it out.

Meadow: "Argh! I have never tasted blood that bad before. Yuck so bitter." He uses his power of manipulation again. "The moment I walk away you will not remember meeting me at all."

He walks away and Ana snaps out of it.

Ana: "Huh? What was I doing? Oh well, I better go home since mom is going to be there for once."

Later on, Meadow went back home after eating and sees Christiana is asleep. He lays next to her and strokes her hair.

Meadow: "I didn't mean to lose control like that. I'll try to keep control when it comes to your blood."

He pushes her bangs a little to kiss her forehead and wraps his arms around her and fell asleep. It is morning and as he wakes up he sees Christiana already dress for school and is getting her school bag.

Christiana: "You always look so handsome in your sleep."

Meadow: "You were watching me sleep?"

Christiana: "Kind of. When I woke up I noticed how handsome you looked I couldn't help but to blush."

Meadow: "You were blushing?" (Thinking: "She would look so beautiful and sexy when she blushes.")

Christiana: "Anyways I have to go to school now."

Meadow: "Okay."

As she is turning around to leave Meadow looks at her from top to bottom then smacks her butt with his hand and she turns her head.

Christiana: "Meadow you naughty boy."

He blushes a bit.

Meadow: "I couldn't resist."

She chuckles a bit and leaves the house to go to school. She entered the school grounds and went into the classroom. She opens her bag and Harmony pops out of her bag.

Harmony: "Mi!"

Christiana: "I told you before Harmony you can't come to school with me. It's a good thing not a lot of my classmates are here yet. I'll take you to Piper maybe she'll watch you until school is over."

She went to the faculty office and saw that Piper was the only teacher there.

Piper: "Oh good morning Christiana there haven't been any hunting job openings for a while now."

Christiana: "That's fine I just need you to do me a favor. I was hoping you could watch my pet for me at least until the end of the school day."

Harmony pops out of her bag.

Harmony: "Mi?"

Piper: "She is so cute! Of course, I can watch her for you. I've never seen a fox this cute before! I've never seen a fox like this before either."

Christiana: "Well that's because she's a fox demon beast."

Piper: "A fox demon beast?! I've heard stories of these mystical beasts but I didn't think that they were real and to think you tame one too?! I've heard it's nearly impossible for a human to tame one."

Christiana: "By the way, she doesn't like men that much."

She left the office and Piper is petting Harmony.

Piper: "Let me guess your former owner abused you didn't he? No wonder you don't like men that much."

After some time went by it was lunchtime. Meadow went to the school and waited outside the school gates to take Christiana out for lunch. The majority of the girls at school are looking out of the windows and have hearts in their eyes and squealing over how handsome Meadow is.

Girl Student 1: "Who is that hottie?!"

Girl Student 2: "He must be a model!"

Girl Student 3: "What's going on?"

Girl Student 1: "There's a really hot guy at the school gates!"

Girl Student 3: "He's not just hot but sexy too!"

Meadow can hear the squealing from the girls in school and is very annoyed.

Meadow: "Oh God… Ugh…."

Christiana left the school building and was surprised to see Meadow.

Christiana: "Meadow? What are you doing here?"

Meadow: "I wanted to take out for lunch."

Christiana: "Aw Meadow how sweet of you." She walks up to him and he holds her hand and they go on a lunch date. "What made you decide to take me out?"

Meadow: "We haven't had a date in a few weeks because of our hunting jobs."

Christiana: "Oh we could have gone on a date tomorrow since it'll be Friday."

Meadow: "I rather take you on a date today."

He pulls her close to him and kisses her tenderly and gently.

Ray: "Who knew a vampire could truly love a human girl?"

Meadow: "Tsk. Can't a vampire be alone with their lover without somebody interrupting them?"

Christiana: "It's you. Why are you here?"

Ray: "Did you two find anything about the demon?"

Meadow: "All we know is that the demon kills students at their school by decapitation."

Ray: "I see the patterns are the same each student is killed at the school they attend but I don't understand why."

Meadow: "Demons don't need a reason to kill. Some would like to kill humans for food but most of them kill for fun. There are some occasions that demons will kill because they made a deal with a human."

Ray: "Humans can make packs with demons?"

Christiana: "You didn't know. I thought you knew that."

Meadow: "That makes sense after all when the person who makes a deal with the demon dies Lucifer takes the soul not the God of Death."

Christiana: "I see."

Afterward, Christiana went back to school and after attending a couple of classes she went to gym class.

P.E. Teacher: "Okay students since the girl's P.E. teacher isn't here I've decided to combine the classes just for today. So third-year class today we'll be playing baseball boys vs girls."

Boy Classmate 1: "Aw man why baseball?"

Boy Classmate 2: "And it had to be against the girls."

Boy Classmate 3: "Yeah there's no way we'll win."

Baseball Captain: "That's because you guys didn't have the captain of the baseball team."

Boy Classmate 2: "Doesn't matter we'll still lose."

Baseball Captain: "Why is that?"

Boy Classmate 3: "Because the girls got Collins in their team."

Baseball Captain: "So? What's the big deal?"

Boy Classmate 1: "You'll see for yourself after all it is your first time in gym class."

The students prepare for baseball and the girls are batting and the boys are pitching.

Girl Classmate 1: "No way the captain of the baseball team is pitching."

Girl Classmate 2: "No fair they have an advantage."

Girl Classmate 3: "Don't worry about it we have something they don't."

Girl Classmate 2: "That's right we got Collins in our team."

Christiana went to the plate ready to play.

Baseball Captain: "This is going to be an easy out."

He uses his signature pitch but Christiana hits a home run.

Boy Classmate 1: "I tried to tell him."

Boy Classmate 2: "Collins already got a home run and the game just started.

The captain of the baseball team is surprised to see that she hit a home run.

Baseball Captain: "How is that possible?! I always strike out the batters! How?! How could she manage to hit a home run?!"

After some time the teams switched up the boys were batting and the girls were pitching.

Boy Classmate 4: "At least we'll get to bat."

Boy Classmate 5: "Yeah the girls are kicking our ass."

Boy Classmate 6: "That's because they got Collins in their team."

Baseball Captain: "They won't be kicking our asses for long we can still beat them. I'm not only the best pitcher but the best batter as well." He went to the plate ready to play. "There's no way you'll strike me out."

Christiana pitches the ball and he swings the bat and misses the ball.

P.E. Teacher: "Strike 1!"

Baseball Captain: (Thinking) "That was a lucky pitch she won't get another chance."

Christiana pitches the ball and he swings the bat and misses the ball again.

P.E. Teacher: "Strike 2!"

Baseball Captain: (Thinking) "What the f**k?! There's no way that actually happened!"

Christiana pitches the ball and he swings the bat and misses the ball again.

P.E. Teacher: "Strike 3! You're out!"

The captain of the baseball team is in shock that he was struck out in a baseball game for the first time. Afterward, the gym class has finished and the game is over; the girls have won the game and they go to the girl's locker to change clothes to go home.

Girl Classmate 4: "I'm not surprised that we won."

Girl Classmate 5: "Well duh Collins is so athletic I'm like jealous."

Ray walks through the wall to look for Christiana then realizes that he is in the girl's locker and that all the girls change out of their gym clothes to their uniforms and blushes out of embarrassment.

Ray: "Oh God! All of them are still in their… Where is she? Maybe she is fully clothed by now." Then he spots Christiana but she is just now changing out of her gym clothes to her uniforms.

Christiana: "Hm?"

Before she could turn around Ray leaves the room in a hurry out of embarrassment.

Ray: "I saw her in her… Oh, God… That was embarrassing…"

Meadow appears at the school gates.

Meadow: "You've never seen a girl in her underwear have you?"

Ray: "Of course not! I died before I was ever in a relationship!"

Meadow: "I see though I didn't think the dead can blush."

Ray: "Shut up!"

Meadow: "Let me guess you were sixteen when you died."

Ray: "Well you are close but not quite I was seventeen."

Meadow: "I've heard that reapers don't remember how they died does that count for you too?"

Ray: "No I remember how I died."

They heard the school bell ring and all the students were leaving to go home.

Christiana: "Have you two been waiting on me? How sweet."

Ray: "I came to tell you that I may have a way for you two to get this demon. It seems to go after students who are in their school late at night. I figure you could go into your school tonight and send it back to hell."

Meadow: "That should work."

Christiana: "I suppose but I have to take someone home first."

Harmony pops out of her bag.

Harmony: "Mi! Mi!" She can't see Ray but can sense him and is frightened by him. "M-M-Mi…."

Christiana: "What's wrong Harmony?"

Meadow: "She must be scared of death."

Ray is shocked to see that she has a fox demon beast.

Ray: "Y-You tamed a demon beast?! The same one that was about to kill you?!"

Christiana: "Of course and you're scaring her."

Christiana and Meadow went home and waited until nightfall to go back to Christiana's school.

Ray: "Hopefully the demon will show up tonight."

Ray vanishes and Meadow hides in the shadows so the demon would believe that she is alone in the school. She walks inside the school for a while then hears footsteps she hopes to lure the demon to a spot at the school he can't escape. The demon runs up behind her and points his sharpened nails at her neck.

Demon: "Too bad I have to kill a cute girl like you. You should know that you shouldn't be out here past your curfew."

Christiana: "Too bad for you your killing spree is over. All the students from other high schools the lives you took from them some of them were about my age and you kill them with no hesitation."

Demon: "Huh?! Just who are you?!"

Christiana: "Just a hunter. Now Meadow!"

Meadow came out of the shadow and slashed the demon's arm that was on Christiana.

Demon: "Bastard!" His arm regenerates and he grabs Christiana by the arm. "Alright, vampire put down the sword, or else she gets it!"

His nails become more sharped and he points them to her neck meanwhile Ray is watching from afar.

Ray: "What is Meadow doing?! Why isn't he putting his sword down?! Unless…"

Meadow uses his sword breaks the demon's nails and gives Christiana her sword.

Christiana: "Now go back to hell and you won't be able to come back to this world."

She stabs him in the heart and the demon escapes the man's body and is banished back to hell.

Demon: "NO!!!!!"

Man: "Huh?! What the hell is going on?! Why am I at this high school?!"

Christiana: "You have nothing to worry about anymore."

Meadow's fangs appeared and his eyes changed from green to red.

Meadow: "You don't have to worry anymore you will think that you committed suicide."

Meadow bites the man's wrist and drinks his blood.

Christiana: "How was it?"

Meadow: "A hundred times better than the blood I tasted last night."

Christiana: "Was it that bad?"

Meadow: "So bad I wanted to vomit."

Christiana: "That person must have an evil aura."

Meadow: "Most likely."

Ray: "So this is how you two hunt demons?"

Meadow: "Yes."

Ray: "Hm… Demon hunting in action… Very interesting…"

Christiana and Meadow left the school and went home. It was the next day and Christiana went to school and talked to Piper before going to class.

Piper: "I see a demon was responsible for killing those students huh."

Christiana: "Yes maybe now that girl can move on."

She turned around and headed for class.

Piper: "By the way Christiana Happy Birthday."

Christiana is on her way to class and her classmates wished her a happy birthday.

Mia: "How does it feel being seventeen?"

Christiana: "No different from being sixteen."

The teacher walks into the classroom.

Homeroom Teacher: "Okay class it's 8 O'clock so everyone turn in your mobile phones to my desk. The police have finally captured the man who has been killing students so I would like to let you all know that all sports and other clubs along with after-school activities will be resumed on Monday."

After some time the school day has ended and as soon as Christiana was leaving the school Ray and Lucille appear.

Christiana: "Look my job is done so why are you bothering me?"

Lucille: "I just needed you to do one more thing for me. I have to see my boyfriend I don't think he hasn't gotten over my death." They were on their way to see Lucille's boyfriend when Lucille saw him at the cemetery. "Huh? He's at my grave?"

Ray: "Looks like he's paying his respects."

Then Lucille sees her best friend hugging her boyfriend from behind.

Lucille: "Cybill?! Why is she hugging him like that?"

Christiana: "He moved on."

Lucille: "What?! How is that possible?! I died a couple of weeks ago!"

Ray: "You died two months ago."

Lucille: "What?!"

Ray: "To you, time hasn't passed that's why you believed only a couple of weeks went by after you died. Your boyfriend was grieving for almost a month and your friend helped him move on."

Christiana: "Now it's time for you to move on."

Lucille: "I see… I'm not upset about them being together I'm just happy that he isn't blaming himself for what happened to me."

Later on, Christiana went home and Meadow gave her a present.

Christiana: "What's this?"

Meadow: "See for yourself."

She opened the box and a choker necklace with small silver crosses on the necklace.

Christiana: "A necklace it's beautiful."

Meadow: "Let me put it on for you."

He puts on the necklace for her.

Christiana: "I love it."

Meadow: "This necklace will help if I lose control when I mark you."

Christiana: "I thought a cross does not affect vampires."

Meadow: "Wooden crosses have no effect but silver crosses do it's pretty much like how a silver bullet kills a werewolf except a silver cross just harms a vampire."

Christiana: "Ah."

Meadow touches one of the crosses and it harms him.

Meadow: "See."

Christiana: "I see your point." She takes off the necklace. "Don't worry I'll wear it when we hunt. Hm? It's about to be 11 O'clock."

He picks her up.

Meadow: "I should give you your other gift next."

Christiana: "And what would that be?"

Meadow: "Me."

He carries her into the bedroom and they make passionate love. After sometime later around two in the morning, Christiana was putting on her pajamas when Ray appeared in her bedroom.

Christiana: "She finally crossed over."

Ray: "Yep. Did you and your vampire?"

Christiana: "Had sex? Yes, we did."

Ray: "You know you should have done that when you're married."

Christiana: "We're engaged so that kinda counts. The way you're talking you sound like an old man."

Ray: "Old man? Like I told your vampire I died when I was seventeen."

Christiana: "I see so are you heading back?"

Ray: "I have no business here anymore."

Christiana: "Do you have a name?"

Ray: "Name?"

Christiana: "You have to have a name before you die so what is it?"

Ray: "It's Ray."

Christiana: "Ray I'll see you whenever."

Ray: "See you whenever."

Ray vanishes and the flashback ends and it's now back to the present.

Seven: "Wow so since then she helps you out."

Ray: "Yeah it's a pain in the ass dealing with spirits who don't cross over."

They see Christiana and Meadow walking up to them holding hands.

Seven: "I didn't think you two hold hands."

Ray: "Usually your vampire has at least one of his hands groping you."

Christiana: "He can't help himself."

Meadow: "My hands have a mind of their own."

Seven and Ray: (Thinking) "That's a lie."

Meadow: "I hope you're ready to finish training."

Seven: "Of course I am."

Seven gets up and the others continue on with Seven's training.
