"We take it to the one place that he wouldn't dare look for it," Sara sid michfiefly.
"Where would that be?" Hannah looked at her with an eyebrow cocked.
"Limbo," Greg looked at Sara, her tone was not right. Limbo shouldn't have a clever tone to it, but under the circumstances it fit. "I know how we get in and out, and Peter would rather die than go back there."
"How do you know?" Hannah asked.
"I was there with him, and I know tht he would rather go to Hell then be sent back there."
"How do you know we'll be able to get in and out?" Alexx asked.
"We've done it before haven't we? And if Peter doesn't know its there we can take him down before he gets much stronger."
"After one very crutial thing," Greg said, holding onto Sara's hand. "We are stronger together, perhaps together forever will help."
Sara closed her eyes and thought for a moment. She saw the gates of limbo clearly. In her head they all walked towards the gates. There was a sharp pain in her chest, but she pressed on.
"Sara, are you okay?" Greg asked, she was no longer going towards limbo but lying on the floor of Alexx's bar.
"What the hell happened?" she asked, she sat up and noticed that the weapon was gone. "Did it work?"
"You got us to limbo but you couldn't go in. When you tried to go in you passed out. The weapon is in there though," Alexx was sitting at the bar as she spoke.
Greg grabbed her hands and pulled her up. "Okay what the hell do we do now?" She asked.
Gregs eyes held both love and something else, a dark secret that would soon come into play. "Do you think it was a good idea to leave Alexx alone with Hannah?"
"Are you afraid for Alexx or Hannah?"
"Alexx."
"With Alexx's powers and her unstability right now I'd be afraid for Hannah."
"I could give a rats ass if she lived or died."
"Don't be too hard on her, after all she's-"
"Greg, don't you dare say what I think you're about to say."
Greg closed his mouth and put his arm around Sara. They entered the bridal store.
"What the hell is all this stuff?" Greg asked as he fingured through some of the items.
"That," Sara took a look at it, "thats edibul underwear honey." She laughed when Greg dropped it.
"Okay how about this?" He didn't even touch it he simply pointed at it.
"That's a garder belt."
"A what?"
"Its to keep my knee highs on."
"Why is there edibul underwear in a bridal store?"
"For the bridal shower." She grabbed his hand, "let's find your tux." They wandered through the tuxedo area. "You need a black one." When they had picked out his tux, shoes, and her bouquet they left.
"What about your stuff?" he asked as they returned to the bar.
"You can't see most of my stuff until the wedding. And plus I need to take Alexx with me for some of the stuff."
She began to ran over what she needed in her head.
Something old, perhaps her mothers old wedding dress if it fit. Something new, the bouqet, something borrowed, she could borrow something from Alexx and something blue, her mothers wedding dress had a blue sash for around the waist, she could have blue shoes and match.
It would be a small wedding, Alexx would be Sara's maid of honor and Greg would find someone, maybe a collague if he had any.
In that one moment Sara realized how little she actually knew about Greg anymore. She knew she would love him no matter what, but she had to know.
"Are you alright Sara?" Greg asked.
"No, I'm not. I don't know you anymore," as she spoke tear s rolled down her face. "Greg, honey, I love you but we've been apart for over three years, nothing has changed about me but something has changed about you. I wan- need to know."
Greg sighed and moved away from Sara. He didn't want to tell her...but if they were to be wed he had to be honest.
"Life...turned to hell after you and Peter vanished...I...drowned myself in alcohol. Anything to stop from feeling.
I started when Owen and Alexx opened the Bar. I was here all the time. Most of the time Owen or Alexx had to carry me home.
Finally she refused to serve me so I left... I spent a year in a half in Mexico until I found...the Urn.
The moment I touched it I felt the power. It had the ability to Break the bounds of Limbo but in order for it to work I needed 50 pure souls....children's souls."
"Oh my God, Greg..." breathed Sara, "You..."
"I missed you so much,"cried Greg, tears forming in his eyes, "Tehn when I started I could hear your voice again. I thought it was working. I would do anything for you Sara, Anything....Even damn myself to walk the Earth for the rest of eternity.
"The elders....they sentenced me to forever walk the Earth and defend the people from Darkness. My body will forever age but I wont die...please understand, I couldn't go on withouth you." Greg fell to his knees and buried his head on the floor. "Please...forgive me..."

Sara looked down at him for a moment, of course she could forgive him. But would she? He had killed fifty children for her, no she had to forgive him, for her own sanity she had to forgive him.
She knelt down in front of him and lifted his head, "Greg, I do forgive you. I could forgive you for anything. I love you, and we'll figure out how to get a loop hole out of the elders sentencing. I promise."
"Sara, I love you more than words can tell." Sara pulled him up.
"So do I Greg." Greg wrapped his arms around her and she buried herself in his chest. He smelled so good. She felt the drops of rain, "Greg stop it."
They walked like that the whole way back, Sara just moved to the side a little bit to allow them to walk easier. "Greg we're getting soaked, can you make them like divert away from us?" The rain drops swerved around them, like they had an umbrella. "Thank you." He kissed the top of her head.
They entered the Bar. Alexx and Hannah were still there. It was empty. Hannah sat at a table reading and Alexx scrubbed the same spot on the copunter over and over, never removing eyes from Hannah.
"Alexx," said Sara, "Come on! I need you to go to the bridal store with me."
"It's raining," she said not looking away from Hannah.
"Not anymore," said Greg. He made it stop and brought out a cheery sun.
"Fine...Watch the Bar Greg. And DONT drink."
"I wont, I'm not a drunk anymore." The two girls left the Bar, leaving Greg and Hannah alone."

Sara and Alexx walked along the street, "What do we need still?" Alexx asked.
"I need a dress, shoes, something old something new something borrowed and something blue. I have thought it all out, we just need to find it.
My mom's old dress as something old, her bouquet for something new, I was hoping to borrow a pair of earrings, and my moms dress has a blue sash so that takes care of something blue."
"I like it," Alexx said. "Of course you can borrow earrings, we'll have to pick after i see the dress."
Greg stared at Hannah as Alexx had been doing. She simply kept reading her book. One page after another.
He went and sat down across from her. She made no indication of acknowldgement.
"Hey..."Greg said. There was no response. "Hello," he said waving a hand in front of her face. He put his hand down and it went right through her book!
"What the hell!"yelled greg as he shoved his hand through Hannah. It was a projection. A fake! "Well....you are a sneaky one."
"Maybe Senpai ate Yuka-tan's last bon-bon?" ----Stupei, Ace Defective
Adam you're a meanie, oh well i'll think of something
Alexx and Sara easily collected everything, Sara's mom actually lived in town and was happy to lend Sara her dress. They promised to have the wedding there and Sara's dad would give her away, also being Greg's best man.
"Mom you rock, you just made it so much simpler."
Her mom kissed her forehead, "I'm so glad for you Sara. Dad is too."
"We better get back," Alexx said. "We left Hannah all alone with Greg. This good they've got can't hold much longer"
Greg came running at them from the Bar. He stopped in from of them panting.
"She....she....."
"Greg," said Sara, "Breath sweety." Greg took a few deep breathes before speaking.
"Hannah is gone!"
"I knew we couldn't trust her sorry ass!" said Alexx.
"We have to hurry!"
"You two go ahead, I'm carrying a few extra pounds these days, ya know."
Greg and Sara bolted back to the Bar. Hannah was sitting at the bar taking a sip of tea.
"Where did you run off to Greg?" asked Hannah.
"What!? You left a projection sitting at the table reading! I stuck my hand into you!"
"I went to the bathroom. I dont like letting people know when i do so I conjure my image while I go. Most people dont stick their hands into me though." She laughed but Greg was not amused.
"I dont know what you're up to but I'll find out and when I do..." Greg took Alices Boxes and stalked up the stairs.
