"Let her go!" Gabriel roared.

"Or what, you'll kill me?"  Anton manically laughed. "That's what I want you to do!"

Cali began to tremble, as Anton held the cold steel blade of the knife to her neck. To her absolute disgust, he placed a kiss upon her cheek. She was terrified as warm teas began to stream down her cheeks. Cali looked up at Gabriel. He had combination of a look of both fear, and anger within his eyes.

Her breathing increased, as she could feel her own heart begin to race. This was it, this was how she was going to die. Maybe she had lived as a victim her whole life, but that didn't mean she had to die like one. Whether it was because she knew she had nothing left to lose, or whether it was her anger over what was happening?  Cali had finally found her true inner strength.

"You're a coward Anton!" She exclaimed through gritted teeth.

"I beg your pardon?" Anton growled.

"You actually thought you had what it takes to be a gargoyle!?" She laughed. "You don't even have what it takes to be a man!  What kind if a man hides behind a pregnant woman?"

"One with nothing to lose." Anton replied in an angry tone. "Don't anger me Siren."

"Or what?" She asked in detain for him. "You'll kill me?  You're going to do that anyway!"  Her scathing words must have gotten to him, as the knife that he held close to her neck began to shake. He must have gotten so angry, that he didn't realize that knife was no longer pressed right up against her neck. Though it was still dangerously close. She originally wanted to stand up for herself, before he killed her. But now she had an opportunity to escape.

"Stop pissing me off!" Anton cried, as she could feel his body begin to tremble. This was now her opportunity.

"Remember when we first met, Anton?" She asked.

"Of course." He growled.

"Well then you'll remember this!" She cried. Cali then elbowed him in his rib cage. This caused him to release her, as he made a loud "oof" sound. Anton then doubled over, as he dropped the knife. Crying, Cali ran into Gabriel's arms.

"Songbird!" He cried, as he embraced her within his arms. "I was afraid I had lost you!"  She looked up at him and smiled. There were tears within his eyes, as he also gave her a loving smile. All of a sudden, there was the sound of a gun being cocked. As Cali turned around, she saw Rosy pointing a gun at Anton.

"Don't even think about standing up!" Rosy cried. "You are going to die on the floor like the dog you are!"

"What are you doing Rosy?" Gabriel asked, as there was fear in his eyes.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't?" Rosy angrily replied, as her eyes stayed fixated on Anton.

"Go ahead!" Anton sneered as he looked up at her. "It's in your Esposito blood!  Once a killer, always a killer."

"That's why!" Gabriel proclaimed. "You yourself said I changed when I killed out of vengeance. I don't want you to become a killer like me. And I sure as hell don't want you to become a killer like him!"

"But he gave me to that bastard!" Rosy cried. "He knew Victor was going to rape me, but he didn't care. So why should I give a damn about what happens to him?"

"You shouldn't." Gabriel replied. "But your killing him isn't the answer. Rosy you do this, and you will forever hate yourself. Is he really worth that? Is he really worth destroying yourself?  Please Rosy, just as you hated losing the man that I once was. Please, I would hate to lose the woman that is my sister."
