Scarlet's head snapped up. "What happened?!" she ran over, ignoring the acute pain in her stomache.

"I don't know. Ask Chelsea." Cade looked down at Willow's body, feeling completely useless in this situation.

She pushed his hands aside, focusing solely on the gaping wound in her chest. She rolled Willow over onto her side. "SOmeone get me some swabs!"

Willow wept tears of happiness, enjoying the feeling of not wanting to kill. "Am I staying here forever?"
Abasi crinkled his brow, "I don't know. It depends."

"Swabs? What the….what are swabs?" Cade ran over and grabbed a medical kit from a closet in the corner. "Just….here take this." He handed the kit to the princess.

She opened it hurriedly and grabbed the swabs, cleaning the area around the wound quickly.

"Your friends, they're trying to take you away." Abasi frowned.
Willow frowned as well, "But I don't want to leave. I like it here. I like being sane."
Abasi tilted her chin towards his, "You won't be sane again if you go back."
"So I'm not going back." Willow stomped her foot, "I don't want to go back. I want to live."
"But you're not alive. Not dead either, though."

Cade sat next to her, nervously tapping his knee.

Working efficently, her mind taking over, she assesed the wound, trying to figure out what the knife had hit.

"I'm…not dead?"
"Yes." Abasi sat down on the floor. Willow sat next to him, confused.
"But I killed myself?"

"You did." Abasi got up and started pacing. "You did! Willow, you damn idiot!"
Willow frowned and squinted at him. "I'm not an idiot."
"You freaking are! You freaking killed yourself! You idiot! I am not letting this happen. If you want to die, die when you're 80 or someone killed you or you died being brave and saving people. Not this!"

Scarlet took out a needle and some thread.

The flowers were still in Chelsea’s hair.
Chelsea looked at her palms and realized how bloody and cut up they were.

Willow shrunk back.
"Get out there and-and keep being alive!"
"Abasi." her voice was small, "Death is better than how I am in life right now." he shut up and took off his own flower crown and picked the flowers off of it.
"The flowers were supposed to help keep you from going." Abasi threaded the flowers back into Willow's hair and kissed her cheek. "C'mon, Weeping Willow, just wake up and fight for yourself again."
Willow sobbed and held onto the flowers, "I can't! I can't. I'm not as strong as I want to be."

Cade stood up and walked around the house for a little while until he found a bathroom. He walked in and splashed water into his face, the make up washing off.

Quinn rushed in, her blue eyes full of worry and her brow furrowed in concern. She helped Scarlet clean the wound.
