Aria's POV

I felt sick, and not the normal morning sickness that loved to kick my ass.

I was watching my best friend be sentenced to death.

After everything.

And the man that she loved was being forced to do it.

I could physically see the tremors rushing through Doom's body as he held Katrina's body in front of him.

Her hands were over top of his where she had placed them on her neck, her back into his chest.

It would almost look like a loving hold if it wasn't for the tears running down Katrina's dirty and bloody face, and Doom's blank face.

But I could see through him. He looked physically ill, someone so in control couldn't handle this. Could handle having no other route out, not when Katrina wouldn't give him one.

I moved to step forwards as I heard those words slip from Doom's lips, "Bullets".

Then he whispered something in her ear, so quietly that none of us heard it.

But Kat nodded.

Then Katrina's arms dropped, and Doom's hand tightened on her neck.

I went to lunge forward, to scream, to stop them, to figure anything else out, but Klaus held me back and it was by far too late.

Doom's hands gripped her neck tightly before twisting, sending a loud crack through echoing through the field, sending multiple screams of horror following behind it.

I barely heard the crack of ear splitting lightning, or the feel of the ground shaking from multiple strikes of lightning from the sky.

I don't remember dropping to the ground, or Klaus trying to hold me back as I tried to crawl to her.

All I could do was watch.

Katrina's body had dropped, and Doom along with her had followed her down, his arms encased around her body as she laid dead.

His hands traveled to her face, a hopeless look crossing over his features, before he opened his mouth and just screamed.

Pure anguish just bellowed and flew from his mouth, over top of the sounds of my screaming or the sobs, or even Sasha's yelling and cussing.

Snake was holding onto Sasha for dear life as she fought at him, screaming and bellowing trying to get to Katrina's body, tears streaming down her face.

Bonnie had collapsed to the ground, tears running down her face as Herc sat behind her, one hand covering his mouth, while the other held onto Bonnie.

Cha had turned into Vapor, holding onto him as she balled into his chest.

All I could watch was Doom rocking Katrina's body in his arms, his head bent over her, his body shaking as he clutched her to his chest.

Gone.

She was gone.

"I know, baby, I know" Klaus whispered into my ear as he held me down to his chest, even as I pushed to get away from him.

Daniel collapsed to the ground near me, his head in his hands.

Rhett had his hands pressed firmly against his mouth, as if he was trying to hold in his screams.

Even Riley and Carson had their heads bent, Diane was even silently crying.

Horrible.

The price had been way too high.

I watched as the four Firsts walked closer to Doom, watching with no emotion on their faces.

"LEAVE OR I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!" he bellowed so loud that the air seemed to freeze around us, his eyes red and full of fury as he glared up at them, the love of his life still dead in his arms.

The walked right past him, picked up Cirron's unconscious body, then continued towards where Trina was sobbing on the ground next to Glare, who looked like he'd been punched in the stomach.

They continued past Trina and Glare, their eyes seeming to linger on Shane Junior, who's eyes were still burning the bright strange yellow color, til finally they walked through the portal and were gone.

Slowly time passed, and eventually a majority of Cirron's followers left.

Some looked unsure as the walked past Doom clutching Katrina's body. Some looked disgusted, and some even could be heard whispering that they were sorry, before continuing back through the portal.

But surprisingly a few stayed, a handful stayed on their knees heads bent.

Some of those who had come with Peter had even given their condolences before walking back through that portal.

There wasn't many of us left, but it felt like time had stopped frozen, and would never jump start or continue the same way it had before Katrina's neck had snapped to the left.

She'd never see my child, she'd never get to see us grow, get older, wiser, none of it. She was now etched in time at this moment, she ended.

Her bright smile, curly hair, contagious laugh.

It all ended here.

And I know all of us lost a part of ourselves knowing that she had to stop at this point, while the rest of us had to continue on.

I know Doom would probably be stuck in this moment forever.

Just like I would.

And then Shane Junior's portal fell, and we were trapped back into this world.

Doom slowly lifted his head off of Katrina's chest, his head slowly turned to look back at Shane Junior who's baby face broke out into a huge smile as he looked back at Doom.

I quickly swipe my tears away, something weird stirring inside of me.

Blue turned back around towards the rest of us, a huge smirk on his face.

I quit crying immediately, going silent as he looked out at the rest of us with that devil's grin on his lips.

Klaus went tense from behind me, his arms tightening as he lifted him and myself off the ground to our feet.

"What's happening?" I sniffed, still wiping the tears off my face, the weight like pain still heavy on my chest.

Klaus only held me tighter, his hand pressed against my large stomach.

Doom leaned back on his haunches, the back of his hand sweeping across his forehead, "fucking ridiculous" he sighed, "I deserve a fucking golden globe" he continued.

Not a second later we all heard a familiar cry-groan that could only come from one individual.

"Owww, you said it would feel like a fucking chiropractor visit. Not like you'd make me see my ass from snapping my fucking neck so hard" Katrina's voice screamed up at Doom.

"I told you not to tense up" he rolled his eyes at her.

She scoffed, before slowly pulling herself up into the sitting position, "I put a psychos hands on my neck, of course I tensed up. Its like have a lawn mower on your neck".

He narrow his eyes at her, "I'm a much more sophisticated weapon than a lawn mover. I'm more like a sword" he finished.

"And now you know why my ass was stiff like a board, fuck Blue, I saw my back you snapped my neck so hard" she continued to cry as we all stood there frozen staring at her like she was a ghost.

He scoffed, "I got an A in chiropractic medicine in high school".

She rolled her eyes, "what school did you go to that has that as a class? Thats first. Second, you were obviously sleeping with the teacher, because my shit is now completely unaligned" she replied back to him.

I couldn't help but cough out a teary laugh, the noise drawing the couple away from staring back at each other to look out towards the rest of us.

Katrina's face split into a huge ass smile, "do you see those tears, Blue, thats called love and friendship".

"They're tears of joy, they thought they got away from ever having to listen to your loud voice again" Doom shot back at her.

By now we were all shaking our heads.

Sasha obviously didn't find it as funny as some of the rest of us, "WHAT THE FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!" Sasha bellows as she karate chops Snake in the forehead before turning and marching over in front of Doom and Kat who are just staring up at her. "YOU GAVE ME A FUCKING HEART ATTACK! BITCH I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! AND YOU! REALLY DOOM?! YOU KNOW SHE'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOUR CRAZY ASS SANE! YOU CAN'T DO THIS SHIT TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY PREGNANT PEOPLE, DAMNIT YOU ASSHOLES I DAMN NEAR SHIT MYSELF!" Sasha bellowed before dropping onto the ground and crushing Katrina into a huge hug.

Pretty soon we all were running forward tackling the bitches.

"Release me you hounds" Doom snarled when he got caught in the crossfires.

Pretty soon he was shoving all of us out of his way, before jumping to his feet, where the men were waiting for him.

"I knew you couldn't really do it" Carter snorted as he walked up to clap his brother on the back.

"Please, we all heard you sniffling like a bitch" Doom shot back.

Slowly Kat's face popped back into my view, her huge smile beaming right at me, pushing my mind to replay our time together.

How she had come and ruined that day at school for me, how I had chased her through the hallways. Her helping me get kidnapped, how she had set me on a path on a new life, a better life.

"You scared me you asshole" I sniffed looking at her.

Her hand wrapped around mine, "as if I would leave you! I have to watch you name your child after me!" she chuckled brightly.

She stood helping all of us to our feet before pulling us all in for a hug.

Me, Bonnie, Cha, Sasha, Trina, and even Diane were pulled into hugs from Kat.

"If you all are done, we have some business to attend to" Doom snapped over at us, making Kat roll her eyes.

"Your attitude is very shitty for a person who's neck wasn't just twisted like a fucking pretzel" Kat snapped back.

"Oh, should we talk about my fucking building?" he snapped back.

Kat winced, "I knew you'd bring that up eventually".

Blue snorted, before looking out at the rest of the people who were still here, a handful of Cirron's followers and the rest of them were those who had come with Peter.

And they were all staring at us with their mouths open.

Doom looked out at all their shocked, "if any of you feel like you can't keep a secret, we can gladly leave you here stuck in this different universe with my great friend the dragon" Doom started with a bright smile pointing out the large dragon standing watching all of us.

Everyone looked from him then to the dragon, their faces paling before strong nods echoed through the crowd.

Kat sighed, "I wouldn't let him kill any of you" she rolled her eyes.

Klaus pulled me back into hug, "I love you, Ari" he whispered into my ear.

We had done it.

We had made it through the rough part, and came out on top, all together, all in one piece.

"Now lets get the fuck out of here, this humidity is killing my fucking hair" Sasha sighed.

She said it best.

It was time to go home.
