Angel felt taht if this fight in his head continmued and if she didn't but in, there was going to be bad consiquinces. She brought pictures of Samanatha, on the floor of pine needles, her clear green eyes staring, her face and hands blue from cold, maybe blood from wounds. Then she brought up more pictures of Samanatha. The first one wat with Sam scared witless climbing a tree to get away from a pack of wild wolves. The second picture you saw sams shock and she fell from teh tree, falling down. The third was of her lieing on teh ground, her arms and legs in odd directions, her face flushed from climbing teh tree, her eyes wide from teh shock again, looking straight up as she was looking at Dante, a dribble of blood coming from her mouth. The fourth picture of the wolves feeding, the last picture of Samantha liueing there, blood gushing, teh remains of a packs meal, but this time, as Dante watched, her eyes dimmed as if a light had gone out,and her eye lids slowly closed...

Sam rolled over again, grabbing hold of her chest as searing pain shot through her. She wasn't sure where the pain had come from. It wasn't fisical, but emotional. She suddenly felt longing for HIM. a really strong longing.

Dante didnt even looked at Angel "Stop" he whispered "Stop, I've got enough blood on my hand without potentially adding more"

"Just reminding you what could happen, which is why it is best we ge there as quick as possible." angel whispered back, makin sure Kaine couldn't hear her.

Sam rollled over again, and dragged herself a few feet ripping the all of her clothing on the fron, so much taht skin showed.

Dante nodded and they got into teh clearing

Angel put her hand on Kaiens shoulder to stop him going nearer. She was unhappy. It looked like tehy had got there to late. She was face down, with bood on her fingers, her clothes torn on teh front, and she was tinted blue with many small cuts all over her body.

sams heart beat was slowing. she aid perfectly still, knowing that she was at death door. She remembered the saying, 'Dont stand and knock at deaths door, ring the door bell and run, he hates that.' She didn't even twitch. She knew msome people that had come close to death, and people who have dead, but she some how could find some one she kne taht had done that.

Dante Walked over, His grey eyes Trained on Her face, he knelt down His knees againt the damp leafrot of the forest floor a he placed once (In his mind He could see blood dripping off it, Leaving crimson spots on her almot ivory skin) againt Sams cheek.

Sam felt the warmth on her cheek and savoured it. 'Maybe i have died, and that is the biggining warth of ether hell of heaven' Sam thought. She was too tired to move so just savoured the warmth, not trying it to warm the rest of her body.

Angel felt tear come to her eyes, just little pricks. the grief Dante was feeling was flowing through her, the feeling was so strong she couldn't block it out.

"Please" Whipered Dante Forgetting about Angel and Kaien "if theres anoyone out there, I know they say love is not for sinners, But am Did nothing wrong, I'll do anything to keep her afe" He Bent hi hed over her face and kised her cheek lightly "i'm sorry" he whispered. A single ice cold tear dropping onto her cheek, COntrasting starkly with the warm kis.

Sam twitched her hand at the kiss. She hadn't expected that. It was teh smallest movement, and unlees you werelooking at her hand,it was probably invisible to teh human eye.

Angel had closed her eyes, trying to channel the grief out of her, to block it away, but it was to strong.

Dante held onto Sam "Come on Sam" he whispered "I'll Give anything to keep you safe, EVer, Thats a promise" he said ou promised Mizu that taunted a small voce in his mind And you Failed

Sam felt the warmth fold around her. She was feeling teh pain of her wounds now. At first just a small dull pain, soon going into extreme pain. alot of her wounds had gotten infected.

Dante could feel a sudden pain racking up his back,more like burning "Not now" hesaid through gritted teeth "I don't need your help"

"Controlle it Dante, or we'll all probably die. Yoursecond release is and Anger one. It will take pain out on the peopel aroundit." Angel whispered feeling teh pain and the pressence of the spirit.

Sam's head rolled to teh side on Dantes lap. He lids flickered sligtly and very quickly.

"Let Me fight" whispered a smooth,peruasive yet Coarse and repeling voice."Let me burn, Tear, Fight, Nothing Can quench your pain like fire. Fire has no master,fire bows to nothing, FIre rule all"

"No" whipered Dante, Eyes closed in concentration "i won't let you win, not this time"

Sam twitched again, a more noticible twitch this time. It was if she was slowly melting.

Angel was concentrating on Dante, trying to keep him calm so he could control the spirit, but he was not obeying.
