Star's Keyblade4114: She done goofed, and she's going to pay for it.

Youthintruth: And some will be answered in this chapter.

Enjoy the next chapter.

Lilith sat on the couch in the Diaz living room and looked around with a frown painted across her lips to see the adults, Janna, Jackie, Alfonzo and Ferguson standing around with panic-stricken looks crossing their faces. Looking towards the window, she saw Star sitting on the chair, staring up at the sky, a deep frown painted across her lips. Climbing off the couch, she walked over to the blonde princess and climbed on her lap. Star looked down in confusion and arched a brow, "Lilith? What's wrong?"

Lilith looked up and frowned before leaning up against Star, "We're both worried about Marco. We can worry together," Star inhaled slowly before wrapping her arms around the small child and held her close, "Star? Are you okay?"

"You're right, Lilith, we can worry together," Star slightly smiled before the two of them looked up out the window, the smile slowly fading from Star's lips.

Marco, with a burn mark on his right arm, panted as he looked up at Tammy, who had cuts up and down her arms, "So…are you ready to admit defeat?" Tammy narrowed her eyes and panted, "You've only killed lesser demons as well as Cabba, Kiya, Evan and Shoo,"

"What are you talking about? I only killed the big guy, you're the one who went and barbecued the others to death," Marco narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "I was going to let them live and all they had to do was let us leave with Lilith," Tammy growled before throwing a fireball towards Marco and watched as it hit a wall of shadows, "Now let me ask you something, Tammy. Why were you apart of this? You saw what I was doing to get Lilith back safe and sound and you led us right to her, albeit with the intention of killing my friends, kidnapping Star, her parents, Lilith and myself later, but…why? Star and her parents are the royal family of Mewni, so you know that guards will be looking for them once they go missing, and I would've found a way to kill you without-"

"Haven't you been paying attention? Shadow manipulators can easily go for two million, and if we had sold you and that girl, we'd get four million, and the royal family? Well we'd be ruling the world, but after they foolishly lowered the runes, that plan was foiled, and so now I have to cut my profits and go after-"

"So…you're just like any other race, greedy. You think money is the most important thing in life. If we hadn't had come across you and you had sold Lilith, what do you think would've happened? Do you think I'd give you the slightest chance to explain yourself?"

"And why should anyone care about her? She's just a banished demon! She's just a waste of space at this-" before she could finish, she was thrown back and pinned to the ground.

Looking up, she saw Marco above her with narrowed eyes, "I've been caring for her for a few weeks, and so has Star and our parents, our friends and their parents care about Lilith as well," the shadows tightened around Tammy's body before Marco fell back in pain.

Marco hissed as Tammy stood up and coughed, "You idiot, no one truly cares about another like that. You're simply lying to everyone, so why don't you just hand the girl over and we can-" Marco began chuckling, confusing the demon, "And what's so funny? Have you lost your mind?"

Marco stopped chuckling and inhaled sharply, "Us demons…we truly are a fascinating bunch, huh?" he looked up, he left eye covered in a burn mark, "We can survive most injuries provided that they're not fatal to begin with," he grunted as he slowly stood up and smiled, "I'm sure I'm going to get a hell of a lecture from almost everyone when I go home. I just hope I don't scare Star and Lilith with these scars," taking a deep breath, Marco slowly stepped closer to Tammy, "But I would like to thank you,"

"Thank me? What for? We've done nothing but beat the hell out of each other. I even told you that I planned on killing your friends, kidnapping you, the royal family and that girl again, so what the hell are you than-"

"For toying with me," Marco stopped and narrowed his eyes, "You see, when I first started fighting you, I was angry and couldn't think straight, but now that we've got rid of some frustration, I can think more clearly, and I just remembered that I'm a shadow manipulator,"

"Wow you sure are dumb, if you couldn't realize that while we were beating the living hell out of each other, I think there might be something wrong with you." Tammy crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "Yeah, you're a shadow manipulator, and I'm a fire demon, now that that's out of the way, can we go back to the part where we try to kill each other?"

"And all races, human, Mewman, demon…they have a few things in common, mostly their bodies, and before your mind goes to the gutters, I'm not talking about the sex organs,"

"Then what? Blood…or organs…what?" Marco smirked and shook his head as he began stepping close to Tammy, "Hey…what do you think you're doing? Demon or not, whatever you plan on doing is wrong and…and I'll cry rape an-"

"I'm not going to do anything of the sort," Marco stopped again and shook his head, "No, what I'm talking about is the darkness inside of the body,"

"The darkness…what, do you mean the evil that-"

"The body is like a casing, denying light to enter, which leaves the majority of the inside of the average body covered in a blanket of darkness," Marco chuckled and shook his head, "Small portions of light can enter through the eye sockets, the navel cavity, the mouth and the ears,"

"Hmm…and what exactly are you implying?"

"What I'm saying is I should've been tearing you apart from the inside out since the beginning," Marco held his right arm out and narrowed his eyes, "But let's test my little theory first," Tammy narrowed her eyes as she held her hands up, fire surrounding them.

Marco hissed in pain as he felt his hand heat up. Looking up past the smoke, he saw Tammy on the ground, holding her head in pain. Marco grunted and gave a small smirk, "Well…this should be fun,"

"You idiot!" Tammy looked up and began throwing fire towards Marco and the two began to hiss in pain as the corridor filled with smoke.

The smoke soon settled and Marco, his clothes and arm burnt, panted with his back against the wall as he saw the motionless Tammy lying in the middle of the corridor. Marco narrowed his eyes and held his hand up and hissed trough his teeth and watched as shadows pierced her body and he grunted, "Never…assume…your opponent is dead,"

Marco grunted as he slowly stood up and watched as the shadows retreated from Tammy's body and a pool of blood formed around her, "A…and now, everyone should know to leave Lilith alone," Marco turned and began limping down the corridor as he applied pressure to his side and winced in pain with each step.

Everyone stood in the Diaz living room as the shadows along the walls began dancing. Star looked down at Lilith and whispered, "Lilith, are you playing a prank on us?" Lilith looked up with a frown painted across her lips as she shook her head and everyone stood in front of the two and stared at the shadows with narrowed eyes.

The shadows soon grouped together and everyone watched as a badly scarred Marco stepped out of them. Lilith's eyes widened as she climbed off Star's lap and began pushing past everyone, "Mar-"

"Hey Marco," Jackie smiled and slapped his shoulder, causing him to hiss in pain, "You look like you've been through hell,"

"Good to see you didn't die in there, Diaz," Janna smirked, crossing her arms.

Lilith frowned as she continued to push past everyone, "Good to see you took care of that crazy demon, buddy," Alfonzo and Ferguson said in unison.

Marco smiled, only to frown when he heard Lilith moan and he looked down at the small child, "What's wrong, Lilith?"

Lilith looked up with wide eyes and a frown as she shook her head, "I wanted to be the first one to welcome you home, but Janna, Jackie, Alfonzo and Ferguson did it first,"

"They did," Marco crossed his arms and looked at the four in question, "Well that was rude of them, don't you think?"

The four teenagers looked around as everyone looked at them before Alfonzo snapped, "What? You can't seriously be suggesting this is our fault,"

"What? Are you saying it's Lilith's fault?"

The four looked down and saw Lilith looking up at them with wide eyes and a frown painted across her lips. Taking a deep breath, Janna crossed her arms and closed her eyes, "I guess we don't have much of a choice here. We take full responsibility for ruining Lilith's fun,"

Everyone laughed as Marco felt someone tug on his arm. Looking down, he saw Lilith looking up and down his burnt arm and he inhaled slowly, "Lilith, is everything okay?"

"You're hurt," Lilith looked up and frowned as everyone looked at the burn marks covering Marco's arms and his eye, "Marco, you-"

"I'm fine, Lilith," Marco smiled, kneeling in front of the child and patted her head, "They didn't hurt you while you were in that cell, did they?" Lilith shook her head and Marco smiled as he hugged her, "That's good…we were all worried about you," breaking from the hug, Marco stood up as he patted Lilith's head again, "And since we know you're safe now, we should have a celebration," Lilith looked him in confusion as he picked her up and everyone walked out of the house.

Hours slowly passed and the Diaz family, Lilith and Star walked through the front door. Lilith rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Tired?" Lilith looked up at Marco and slowly nodded, "Well…I guess you can get a bath tomorrow. You had a busy day," he picked her up and slightly smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder, "Let's get you ready for bed," Lilith hummed and nodded as Star, Angie and Rafael watched as Marco walked towards the stairs.

Marco set Lilith down on the bed and pulled the covers over her, "Marco?" Marco hummed and looked at Lilith in confusion, "Can you stay?"

"Stay? Lilith, you know I sleep in this room too. Where would I-" Lilith sat up and moved over a little before looking up at Marco with wide eyes, "-go? You're worried someone would come in and take you again, huh?" Lilith slowly nodded and Marco sighed, "Lilith, what happened today was scary, but you know we won't let that happen again an-"

"Please Marco?" Lilith frowned, "I'm scared,"

Marco inhaled slowly and slightly smiled, "Okay, I'll stay here tonight," Lilith faintly smiled as Marco kicked his shoes off and laid down beside the small child.

Lilith scooted closer to Marco and leaned up against him as Marco wrapped an arm around her, "Lilith," Lilith tiredly looked up, "I'm sorry we couldn't find you sooner, and I promise that it will never happen again,"

"Marco, I'm fine. You, Star and everyone came looking for me and they didn't hurt me,"

Marco gave a small smile and shook his head, "I know, Lilith, but still…I'm sorry we couldn't find you sooner. It's something that shouldn't have happened in the first place,"

"Are you mad?"

Marco sighed and his smile faded, "I already told you, Lilith, I was mad at the ones who took you and that I wasn't mad at you, you did nothing wrong." Marco kissed the top of Lilith's head and took a deep breath, "I'm happy we managed to find you before something happened to you,"

"Marco," Marco hummed and looked at her in confusion, "I'm happy you and Star, Janna, Jackie, Alfonzo and Ferguson found me that day. I thought I was going to die in the woods, but you found me and you promised me that I can come live with you,"

Marco hummed and shook his head, "I know, Lilith, and even though there were some troubles with Star's parents in the beginning, everything worked out for the best." Lilith slightly smiled before letting out a yawn and nuzzled closer to Marco, "Goodnight, Lilith, I'll see you in the morning,"

Hearing the door open, Marco carefully looked back and saw Star entering the room, "Hey Marco," Marco slightly smiled and waved at his girlfriend as Star stepped closer to the bed. Star looked down at the sleeping child before looking at Marco and slightly frowned, "She's shaken up from today, huh?"

"Can you blame her? She was almost sold in a trafficking ring," Marco frowned and shook his head, "But the ones who took her and Tammy are dead, and hopefully that'll teach anyone else who wants to try and take her that it'll only end in their death,"

"Yeah," Star pulled the computer chair up to the bed and sat down, "I can't believe Tammy was apart of that mess. I thought for sure she wanted to help us find Lilith and get her away from those…uh…um-"

"Demons," Marco looked back and Star frowned, "It's okay, Star, you can address them as demons. They are what they are," Marco carefully turned on his back and Lilith moaned as she nuzzled closer to him and rested her head on his chest, "I thought so too, but when she attacked you and your mom and then told us her involvement with the Trade…it showed us what her true intentions were,"

"Yeah," Star took a deep breath before leaning forward and lightly kissed Marco's cheek, "I'm going to go to bed…goodnight,"

"Goodnight,"

Star stood up and leaned forward and lightly kissed Lilith's cheek, "Goodnight, Lilith," Lilith moaned and Star smiled as she turned and walked out of the room and quietly closed the door behind her and walked across the hall to her room.

Marco sighed before looking down at Lilith and shook his head, "Goodnight Lilith," he closed his eyes and fell asleep with Lilith in his arms.

The reason I managed to get this chapter done so soon was because it's the final chapter and my notes were organized…for once. I'll be working on the third part soon. I wanted to get Blood Moon out before this, but I'm still going through a few ideas on that on. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
