Echo couldn't stand the fact that her best friend isn't speaking to her. She had to know what's up. She goes to Daisy's bedroom door and knocks. "Daisy, you in there?"


"No."


She opens the door anyway. "Daisy." She pouts. "You can't keep giving me the silent treatment. You know you can't stay mad at me." She makes a really ugly puppy face. Daisy can't help but laugh.


"You're right. I can't." She smiles.


"What's going on with you?"


"Nothing. I'm perfectly fine." She shrugs.


Echo glares at her the same way Daisy did to her last time. "Nothing means something. Spill." She quotes.


"Using my words against me, huh?"


"I am." She sits on the bed next to her. "I know you, Daisy, and something's up."


She sighs. "Well..."


"Well...spill it! I don't have all day!" She snaps.


She sighs once again and rolls her eyes. "I've recently had a miscarriage..."


Echo's jaw drops and she covers her mouth with one hand. "You were pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?"


"Cause I was too ashamed of losing the child soon after I found out."


"You lost it the same day?"


Daisy nods slowly, reflecting back to when it happened, and she tears up. "Jacob didn't even know!" She wipes her eyes.


Echo feels so bad. "Come here!" She pulls Daisy in for a friendly hug while she cries on her shoulder.


Daisy sobs into Echo's shoulder. "It happened a few hours before we had the fight. That's why I was so mad at you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken my frustration out on you."


"It's okay, Daisy. I should've known." She pats her back. After that, they've made up.


---------------------1 Year Later-----------------------------


A year later, Daisy and Jacob finally get married! Echo and Roman are happy together with Carter. Paige and Seth have been out of sight for a while. They haven't even been to work. They probably ran off together making evil babies. The night after the wedding, Echo's with Daisy and Carter at Daisy's house. Jacob went to get groceries. "I can't believe Carter's starting kindergarten in two days!"


"Me neither! I'm a proud godmother!" She fake cries.


"Mommy, Aunty DayDay, I'm a big girl. Get over it!" Carter laughs.


"You're lucky you're cute, or else I'll beat your little ass!" Echo tickles Carter and laughs too.


"Wow, can't believe she's 5 already! Oh my gosh!" Daisy is so proud of her little goddaughter.


Echo's phone beeps and she checks it and it's Roman. He's asking her to come home. She raises her eyebrow. "That's strange. I thought he was still at work. Oh well, I gotta do as the man says. See ya! Oh and do me a favor?"


"What is it?"


"Watch Carter for me?"


"Oh of course!"


Echo turns to Carter. "Baby, be good for Aunty DayDay, okay?"


"Okay mommy." She smiles her sweet smile that makes everyone's heart melt.


"Come here! I'm gonna braid your beautiful dark hair!" Daisy pulls her in and tickles her. Carter laughs uncontrollably.


"Okay. You two have fun. I'll be back. This shouldn't take long." Echo exits the room and heads to her car. She parks at her home that she shares with Roman and Carter. "This should be quick." She thinks to herself. She gets the keys and unlocks her door. She enters the house and it's dark. She tries to turn on the light and fails because the power is inconveniently out. "Roman?" She calls out and no one answers. "This isn't funny!" She goes to every light switch and none of them work.


She finds her way upstairs in the dark and goes to her room and shuts the door behind her. She steps back and bumps into something, SOMEONE! He starts breathing down her neck. "Roman isn't here."


"I can't believe you, Seth! Where's Roman?"


He chuckles evilly. "Let's just say that I took great care of him. Don't worry about it!"


Echo turns to face him and scowls. "Seth, I will end you!"


"Not if I end you first!" He pulls her closer to him and starts biting at her neck.


"Ow!" She tries to loosen his grip but she's somehow pleasured by his aggressiveness. She starts to get weak by the amount of pleasure taking over her. Her voice lowers. "Please stop."


"Oh, you like it, huh?"


"Yes! Wait, no! Seth! Get off of me!" She finally finds the strength to push him off. He falls backward into the dresser. She walks toward him and gets in his face. "You will NOT hurt me OR Roman anymore! Not after tonight. I promise you!"


He looks her in the eye. "You look pretty hot when you get all mad at me." He smiles.


That only gets Echo even more upset. "I overheard you and Paige that night. Don't think that I don't know that you two were planning on killing me and my fiancé and kidnapping my child! That's bullshit!" She spits in his face.


A sadistic Seth gets up and grabs her neck. "You've just made one of the biggest mistakes of your life!"


Echo is gasping for air, and Seth pushes her against the wall and pinning her with his arms. "I don't regret anything!"


Seth grabs her arms and leads her to Carter's room for her to see Roman on the floor knocked out cold. "See this? You're next!" He lets go of her and leaves the room. Echo sits next to Roman. She starts to feel like crap. She kisses him, gets up, and steps backwards. "You thought I was gonna let you get off that easy?" He laughs. She turns and sees that he has a vase in his hand to knock her out with.


He raises it up and she puts her arms in front of her face. "No, please! Stop! Don't do this! Don't hurt me!" She starts to sob. He doesn't care and he brings down the vase toward her head but she blocks it and kicks him in the groin causing him to fall to the ground and yelp in pain. She finds her way back downstairs and goes into the kitchen. She finds the phone and searches every drawer and feels around for a flashlight. She finally finds one and tries to turn it on. "Come on!" She whispers loudly. She fails to turn on the flashlight and she looks into another drawer. She feels around and finds a knife. A large kitchen knife. She smiles like she's plotting something evil. She licks the knife slowly. She has a crazy side to her that she barely uses. She rubs the knife with a washcloth and patiently waits for Seth to come downstairs. She leans against the counter, and waits. She hears footsteps coming from behind her and she smiles that evil smile again. He grabs her arm and without question, she turns around and stabs him right in the chest where his heart is located. She sinks the knife deep into his chest. She pulls it out slowly and feels the warm blood rapidly dripping on her hand. Her hand is fully covered with his warm blood. She licks the blood off her hand, proud of her accomplishment. She finally killed the man that tortured her. She just wants to see what his face looked like when it happened. The power comes back on. She sighs with relief. "Phew! Finally!" She looks to the ground before her and her face changes instantly. She sees the man that she was planning to marry on the floor with blood. "Roman...oh my gosh!" Tears fill her eyes. "No, this isn't real!" She kneels down next to him and check his pulse. He still has one. She lifts his head and rests it on her lap. She strokes his hair. He starts to cough out some blood. "You're not gonna die, Roman. You're still here." More tears fill her eyes. "I hate myself." Roman opens his eyes.


In between coughs he manages to get out. "Tell Carter that I love her, okay? Tell everyone that I love them. I love you, more than anything. It sucks that we won't be able to get married."


"Roman, you're not gonna die."


"I am. Let's face it."


"Why can't it be me in your position? Again! Just please stay!" She grabs his hand. "Please."


"I can't. I'm sorry. But do me one last favor..."


"What is it?"


"Go make Dean happy."


"What?" She freezes at the thought of him saying that. She looks back down at him. He smiles and it fades slowly. "Roman! Stop! No!" She shakes him. "Please don't go! Please! I'm begging you!" She buries her head into his chest and sobs her heart out. "Please..."


But where was Seth this whole time?


----------------Meanwhile-----------------


Daisy leaves Carter to watch tv while she goes to the bathroom to take a shower. As soon as she gets out, she hears Carter screaming.


"Aunty DayDay!" Carter wails loudly.


"Shut up, you bastard child!" She hears the British voice of Paige's.


Daisy stops drying her hair, gets dressed and quickly runs out of the room. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" She walks toward Paige and pulls Carter out of her arms.


"Oh, well I'm gonna do my job that I haven't yet finished. While Seth takes care of Echo and Roman, I'll take care of you!"


Daisy gasps. "You didn't...you bitch!"


Paige pulls Roman's phone out of her pocket and waves it around. "Oh I think I did!"


"You texted Echo posing as Roman trying to get her home in time for Seth to kill her. I knew I should've never doubted your Mastermind skills!"


"You really shouldn't have." She goes into the kitchen and throws Roman's phone in the sink. She fills it with water and lets it fall down into the drain. She then turns on the garbage disposal, and it ruins the phone completely. She turns off the garbage disposal. She looks into the drain. "Wow. It's really messed up!"


"You'll never be able to kill Echo. You've failed before!"


"I know. But my plan will work. I have Seth to do it for me."


"You'll never win, Paige!"


"Of course I will. Watch me."


Daisy puts Carter down and tells her to go in the room. Daisy knows what's next. "Come one, Paige! Come at me!" She spreads her arms out wide. She smiles.


Paige laughs loudly. "What a joke! You really think you're intimidating?"


"Why don't you come over here and let's see who's right?"


Paige shoves her. Daisy slaps her back. Paige moves backward into the back sliding doors that lead to the balcony. Paige pulls out a cloth and wraps it around Daisy's neck choking her. She pushes her to the balcony's edge. She's leaning backwards on it. "You're gonna die, Daisy! Any last words?"


"Yes! Bye, Paige!" She flips over so that Paige is leaning backwards on the balcony edge. She lifts her up and throws her off. Paige soon falls to her death. Daisy falls backwards onto the chair sitting on the balcony. She hyperventilates. She can't believe that she killed the big dog! She killed Paige! She puts her hand to her heart to feel it beat very fast.


"Daisy, are you okay?" She hears Jacob's voice from inside the house.


"You're back!" She looks back at him and he finds her on the balcony.


"Yeah, are you okay?" He puts his hand on her back.


She looks down. "I don't know."


"Well what happened?"


She looks up at him while tears fill her eyes. " I-I..."


"You what?"


"I just...killed Paige..." She cries a little bit. "Jacob, I'm a murderer."


----------------------------------------------


The ambulance took Roman away and Echo's tears are dry and her eyes are red. Her skin is soaked from the hard pouring rain. She watches as the EMT's loads the love of her life onto the truck. She folds her arms over her chest. She has yet to know where Seth is. She runs back into the house and upstairs. He's gone! She goes into the kitchen and picks up the phone. She calls the police.


"Hello?" A female cop answered the phone.


"Hi, can you please locate and arrest Seth Rollins?"


"No problem!" She hangs up the phone.


She calls Daisy soon after. "Hey, how you holding up?"


"I'm fine, I guess." She sighs. "I killed Paige. No biggie."


She gasps. "What? No...you didn't..."


"I did."


"Well I guess we're both gonna get arrested for murder because I killed my own fiancé!"


"What? Why? How?"


"An accident. I thought he was Seth."


"Wow, that's crazy! You guys couldn't even get married."


"I know, but his last words were, 'Go make Dean happy.' I wonder what that means."


Daisy laughs. "Go do it!"


"You sure?"


"Positive. Call you later. I'm a little occupied." Daisy laughs through the phone.


Echo smiles. "Well congrats. Catch you later." She hangs up the phone.


Daisy puts her phone down on the floor next to her while she's kneeled down in front of the toilet. She's staring at her positive pregnancy test. She turns to Jacob and he smiles back at her. She starts to get emotional. She sniffles and giggles. Her and Jacob hug. "We're gonna have a baby!"


----------------------------------------------


Echo pulls up in Dean's driveway. The lights are still on. She slowly walks up to the door and knocks. Dean answers the door.


"What are you doing here?" Dean is still a little upset about the incident at the bar.


She pushes him into the house, jumps into his arms and kisses him. He's frazzled at first, but soon grabs her and pulls her in closer to him. When their bodies touch, they both feel right. She wraps her arms around his neck and the kiss gets deeper and more passionate. Echo pulls away after a while. She rests her forehead on his and closes her eyes. She sighs. "Dean..."


"Echo?"


"I love you."
