He... he... he loves me? I could barely breath. He loves me. I love him.  I grip his hands. Al... I'm not going to let him take you away from me. I know you're still in there. I know you're crying out. I want to help you. I'm here for you. 

He yelps in pain and draws back. I turn and I see that Nifty has stabbed him with a knife. She jumps back. He rips the knife out. He breaks it. Nifty and Vaggie charge. He snaps his fingers, and a tentacle comes out from the ground. It grabs them. I run toward them. He shoves them away. 

"Al! Fight him!" I scream.

"He's not here." He says again. 

Husker and Angel Dust open the door.

"Uh... hi." I wave my hand.

"How's it going?" Nifty asks. 

"Do I want to know what the fuck is going on?" Husker asks.

"Is this some sort of party?" Angel Dust asks. 

"No." He throws Nifty into him.

Vaggie stabs the tentacle. It disappears back into the ground. She charges. Al... or whoever is controlling him. Grabs Vaggie's neck. He lifts her up.

"Stop please!" I yell. 

"I will kill you girl." He licks his lips.

I grab Vaggie's dropped spear. I ignite it in flames. Vaggie! Hold on! Tears start streaming down my face. Oh Al... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. What choice do I have? I run up while he's distracted. I appear from behind him, and I plunge the spear into his chest.
