"Elizabeth." Marco spoke very gently, comforting the best he could. It was only a matter of time before the demon within her would reach to become free and take over her entire body and soul. Elizabeth stepped back and looked up at Marco.

"They are turning me into one of them? Why would they do that? Why not just kill me?" she asked.

Marco took a deep breath and slowly let it out then said, "Because they know that I will be the one that would have to kill you and it would not only end your life, but it would end mine as well for I cannot live without you."

"What do we do then? The chaos inside my head has got to stop, Marco. It has to; it's making me crazy." Elizabeth looked at Marco, pleading with him to find the answer that she needed, to say the things she needed to hear.

"We will find a way to fix it. I'm not going to lose you again." Marco once more wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. He knew that his time was short and he would have to find answers soon, but he wanted just this moment to hold her in his arms, just in case he never got the chance to do it again.
