  "It's too late," she explained. "It has already traveled to our bloodstream.” She shook her head and brought her hand up to Angelus' face. "This make's sure that we stay together forever." He brought his hand up and covered hers.

  "How long?" He asked.

  "Within moments," Regulus and Christian walked over and sat by them. Jezebel leaned into Angelus and looked at him.

  "I love you," she looked at her brother and father. "I love you all." Angelus leaned down and kissed her.

  "I love you, too." Regulus placed his hand on his shoulder. Angelus looked at him and smiled. Jezebel closed her eyes and felt the darkness cover her. Behind her, she heard Regulus breath in deeply and then fall silent along with her father. She felt Angelus brush aside her hair.

  "I love you." She whispered before she felt her body grow limp. Angelus could feel the poison spreading throughout him, but he knew that he was stronger than the others. He reached forward and grabbed the teapot, there was enough for another cup full. He brought the teapot to his lips and drank the liquid. He knew that within moments he will die and that he would be with his love. He looked down at Jezebel one last time and prayed that he would see her again.
