Rachel grabbed Alex's hand and reached back for Philip,
who was pulling Derek out as well "Turn your head Kat.. don't
look!"
Julia waited for the exact moment that Kat's face turned
away before whispering the last thing the demon would ever hear on this planet
and rammed the sword home "Being reborn constitutes innocence!"
Then she let go of the sword and reached for Nick, knowing
the dark explosion was about to hit as Mitchell howled out in a death cry that
seemed to tear into the very air around them.
Rachel looked back and yelled for the others to take cover
even as she pushed Alex and Kat aside to cover them both as best she
could.
Julia landed on her back and hid her face in Nick's
shoulder until it was over, only to have her shoulders start to shake as she
tried to stop the quiet laughter.
They won. They won and she was still here and in
Nick's arms.. and they won.
"Bad man go boom and I'm still here." she whispered with a
smile, just in case Nick was wondering why she was laughing instead of already
knowing it himself. Then looked at him and touched his cheek, still
grinning "Getting married and not a damn thing he could do about it,
huh?"
