He's gone. I'm alone again. Left mangled and on my own like everyone else. She couldn't stay there. She just couldn't. So, she went to the only place that wouldn't send her mind into the downward spiral everywhere else would. The cliff at the edge of town that had the most beautiful view anywhere. It calmed her down but with every pulse, her heart broke a little more. She was alone. And this time she didn't know if she could make it by herself.
Darren kissed Lillian's forehead, "Hang in there, I'll be back," he closed his eyes and shimmered to Ryan, he gasped when he saw Ryan. No pulse… he couldn't heal him but Belle wasn't here. "Belle?" He searched the house frantically, throwing open every door with her nowhere to be found. He sensed her instead and shimmered to the cliff, "Belle!" He yelled.
She nearly screamed. "What the-?! Darren? Geez you scared the hell out of me." She scrubbed the remaining tears off her face. No need to look as horrible and hollow inside as she felt.
Paige tried to push herself up, but she was still too weak, especially with Shaxx still in the room.
"What happened?" Tears rolled down his face but he stayed as strong as he could.
Lillian was alone again. Alone with the ghost of Paige. She missed the warmth as the numbing cold started to spread again. She didn't want to be numb and prickly. Why couldn't she be warm.
Leo, the boy with magic resurrection power, exists somewhere.
Cooper shook his head and took Darren's place, "I know I'm not the same but I am what you've got okay babe?"
Her eyes filled with tears again. She wasn't sure if her heart could go through explaining. But she'd try. "The Oni came after him again. And Void was pissed that we'd poisoned him so he was coming after me. He gave himself up to get rid of Void so he wouldn't hurt me." She was so choked up at the end her words were barely audible.
"Go… away… fromher…" Paige snapped, her language garbled.
Darren sat next to Belle, "I-I was going to hug you … b-but I remembered your thing about c-contact unless it was Ryan's… Lillian's brother, he can heal the dead but I can't, he has a chance…"
Lillian didn't mind the switch. Paige seemed too. She said firmly, "He's warm. So he stays."
"Go… away… fromher…" Paige snapped, her language garbled.
Cooper looked up at Paige, "Excuse me… I am trying to help here… Can you not right now? That'd be great… SEE!? I'm warm!"
She curled up into her ball again, barely holding back from sobbing her eyes out. "I already miss him. I just want him back, I'd do anything to just see him alive again." She wanted to break down but something inside of her wouldn't allow her to. Even when her heart was shattered into a million pieces, she still couldn't stand the thought of seeming weak. She didn't know how much she depended on him until now.
Paige turned away sadly. He was right. She had only made things worse. So much of a guardian angel she was.
"I need to find Leo… If you yell a whitelighter's name, they show up… maybe that's how all angels are,"
Lillian giggled softly. She couldn't help it. As fast as the amusement came, it left. And she was left a doll loving the warmth from her boyfriend's brother.
Leo was walking around town. He was wearing his hospital scrubs, since he was on his lunch break. Just a normal guy trying to find lunch.
Lillian giggled softly. She couldn't help it. As fast as the amusement came, it left. And she was left a doll loving the warmth from her boyfriend's brother.
"What's so funny over there?" Cooper smiled, he enjoyed her as much as he said he didn't.
Leo was walking around town. He was wearing his hospital scrubs, since he was on his lunch break. Just a normal guy trying to find lunch.
"LEO?!" He yelled, "Leo HELP!"
"Please…I don't know how much longer I can hold this off." She mumbled weakly. The this she was referring to was the suicidal thoughts. Her glass heart was shattered. Now the depression had no barrier, it was free to roam around her head and make her want to kill herself.
Leo magically appeared from no where, and he was very confused. He looked to the crying Belle, and then to Darren before sighing, "Did Lillian die again?"
Lillian glanced up at him, "You."
Ryan laughed, Belle could hear it in her head. He was close, not alive but his spirit was tied to her.

Lillian glanced up at him, "You."
"No, hell no please no," he shook his head, "It's Ryan… He… he did,"
Cooper grinned down at her, "Me? Must be a mistake! I am noit funny!"
She thought it was just the depression taunting her. This is torture. Then end it. End the torment. Jump. The fact that she actually considered listening to the voice scared her.
Leo became stern sensing Ryan's spirit near Belle. His death wasn't that long ago, if he could get to the body… "Take me to him. I can help."
Lillian nodded swiftly then looked to Paige, "And her."

"Yo don't jump that would suck! What would I come back to?!" Only Belle could hear him. He laughed again, "Stop that! It tickles!" he said to someone else.
She didn't move. She wasn't sure if she trusted herself to without "accidentally" tripping and falling off the edge. Besides, she wasn't sure she could see his body again without dying internally.

Lillian nodded swiftly then looked to Paige, "And her."
Cooper looked up, "I think she's upset… I think all of you are very uptight and need to take a chill pill… You are both here what more do you want…"
Darren grabbed his arm and shimmered to Ryan's body, lifeless on the blood-stained carpet.
Paige kept her back to Lillian and Cooper. They couldn't see her tears.
