Tonys POV:I playfully pretended to stuff my squid plushie into Boris face as he pretended to die. "Haha! So you'll be at my birthday party?"I playfully teased then got my plushie off Boris, Boris playfully nodded as he laid back pretending to die. Jason laughed a little and sat down on the bed, "So, Jason. Invitations?"I asked, "Even Roger?"Jason joked looking through the invitations he helped me put together. "Roger isn't drunk, Jason! He's just eccentric"I said innocently batting my eyes.

Jason smiled and added him to the invited list on his phone, my birthday was coming up in two days, and Boris and Jason agreed to help me set it up for my birthday party tomorrow. It ended up getting late and Boris and Jason were getting ready to leave, "Bye, Tony"Boris said. Jason smiled and placed a small gift box on my bed before leaving. When both of them headed home I opened up the box and saw the same gloves I wanted. I smiled and put them on, he did make it up like he said. I'm glad I saved them both anyways, even though Jason can be a little bossy he cares about me and Boris.

He definitely isn't the most flawless person I've met, hey, no one is.

While I was looking at the gloves Jason got me, I saw The Cat come at my windowsill outside. I remembered what I made him do when I was with Xavier, "Oh, hello again..."I said then got out of bed to open up my window to let The Cat inside, when I opened up the window The Cat gave me an angry look. "You're still mad? I'm really sorry I threw you at him, Xavier...It was all I could think of"I apologized calmly, and I meant everything I said. I let The Cat climb inside and get on my bed with me, I then got my bag and pulled out the ghost kids eyes.

"I think it's time, don't you? Set them free"I asked holding out the dead kids eyes. The Cat nodded, I smiled and set down the eyes under my pillow and fell asleep with The Cat by my side.

I opened up my eyes and saw the three ghost children, they didn't have the button eyes anymore, they were wearing normal looking clothes and had halos and wings on them all. "It's a fine fine thing what you did for us, Mister"The lily pad kid said, "Well, I'm glad it's finally over"I sighed. The ghost children gave each other worried looks, "It is over and done with, for us"The lily pad kid said.

For them? "What about me?"I asked confused, "You're in terrible danger, boy!"The girl that was dressed as an acorn said, "But how?! I locked the door!"I said not getting it. "It's the key, mister! There's only one and Xavier might find it"The lily pad kid said. I got out the key I had and stared at it, "Paint all badness thou art alive thou art still living..."The ghost children said.

I finally woke up, I looked under my pillow and saw the ghost kids eyes were broken. Probably representing that they escaped. I then got out the key, "I-I got to hide this somewhere...Somewhere where he can never..."I said but then I remembered something me and Kelsey found...The old well.

I climbed out of bed with my blanket on and with my bag, but when I tried to open my bedroom door, The Cat walked in front of the door keeping me from getting out. "Out of my way!"I ordered The Cat, I moved The Cat from in front of the door and walked out my room. My parents weren't home so I didn't freak out about making any noise.

3rd Person

Tony opened up the front door and walked outside to the well, then shut the door. But away in the locked up door, was the hand Tony cut off of Xavier. Xavier was still able to control his hand even though it was cut off when Tony and the dead children shut the door on it. Xaviers hand slipped from under the door scratching the door in the process.

Tonys POV:I was now at the creek, I was ready to get rid of the key. "Oh my twitchy witchy boy, I think you are so nice. I give you bowls of porridge and I give you bowls of ice cream..."I sang in my head as I was getting closer to the well. It's been awhile seen I've been to the creek this late...I tried to sing my dads song in my head to keep myself distracted from being paranoid. "I give you lots of kisses and lots of hugs...But I never gave you sandwiches with grease..."I sung in my head.

I was now at the old well, okay now I just needed to open it. I was struggling to open the well, I had the key on a string wrapped around my neck like a necklace. I got the key out but just when I was gonna put it down the well, someone I thought was gone reappeared...

The same hand made from needles came and tried to grab the key that was around my neck...It was Xaviers hand...The one I cut off. Since the key was still around my neck I ended up falling as Xavier tried to get the key I had, it didn't take long for Xaviers hand to start dragging me back to the small door. I couldn't remove the key from around my neck but I knew Xavier would still get the key, he can't have that. As Xavier was dragging me, I heard a loud bike horn go off...Wait, I knew whose bike horn that was...

Kelseys!

I looked over to Kelsey, her bike light was on and she was holding out the same thing she used to hunt for slugs. Kelsey let out a battle cry as she rode her bike towards me, right on time Kelsey...Kelsey grabbed Xaviers hand off of me with her stick and rode Xavier away from me on her bike, but Xaviers hand hopped on Kelsey mask, "Ah!"Kelsey screamed as Xaviers hand was attacking her now. Oh no...

Kelsey lost her balance on her bike and fell off of it, and landed on the edge of the well...

Kelsey was hanging onto the well so she wouldn't fall off. But Xaviers hand ended up getting trapped with her, his hand climbed out the well. Kelsey was holding on for dear life, oh shoot...I got back on my feet and trapped Xaviers hand in the blanket I brought before he could make Kelsey fall into the well.

That should give Kelsey time to get out the well...But it didn't last long, since Xaviers hand is made from needles, he was able to cut a hole in my blanket and escape...

But, fortunately...The brave warrior girl saved the day again...

It turned out Kelsey ended up climbing out the well, Kelsey threw a huge rock on top of Xaviers hand crushing it...Kelsey heavily panted surprised that Xavier was done for, I sighed and got the string from around my neck and wrapped up the blanket that had the rock and Xaviers hand. On the outside I wrapped the key with the same string.

Kelsey helped me throw Xaviers hand down the well along with the key. I'm surprised that we were able to carry that rock wrapped in my blanket down the well since we were so short. Me and Kelsey closed up the well, finally free from Xavier. "I'm really sorry I didn't believe you about all this...Evil stuff, Tony..."Kelsey apologized sitting beside me now. "Why did you change your mind?"I asked, "Well, Cheyenne showed me this picture after I called you crazy"Kelsey said.

Kelsey reached into her pocket and pulled out an old looking photo. When I saw the photo, I realized was wrong about the cherry blossom ghost boy being the brother of Cheyenne.

It was a picture of Cheyenne, she was a bit younger she looked to be in middle school. And next to her was her brother, the one that disappeared. I've been with her lost brother this whole time...

Cheyennes lost brother was...

Xavier.

"It's her and her brother, before he disappeared"Kelsey said, "The sociopath, Xavier..."I said surprised. Why did he run away? Was he fed up with being lonely and ran away and created a world where he'd spoil his victims and bribe them into being his friend?

"KELSEY! Kelsey, come home!"Cheyenne called out, "Oh man...What am I going to tell her?"Kelsey said. Then, I got an idea, "Tell her to come to the house tomorrow"I said referring to my house. "We can tell her together"I added on.

"We?"Kelsey asked, "We can...?"Kelsey said surprised. "You know, I'm glad you decided to stop me"I joked then playfully punched her shoulder. "Hahaha, it wasn't my idea..."Kelsey laughed. Ya know, I think me and Kelsey could be great friends if we put our past conflict behind us, maybe she'd let me ride her bike with her, she honestly isn't as bad as I thought she was. Then, The Cat came by and sat down on a rock and tilted its head at us. Guess Vermin isn't a wuss puss.
