Mal pov:
"Uh, guys? Shouldn't we go after Skye?" I said after a few moments.
"Yeah, might be a good idea..." Evie said.
Zed and Sean nodded.
"Yeah, come on!"
And the four of us walked away.

After a while we came to a meteor.
"Are you sure we should be here, Zed?"
"Believe me. I know where I was trapped and Skye was made a ghost." he said uncomfortably.
"Everything fine?" Evie asked.
"Yeah... I can't believe we have to go there again..." he said reluctantly.
Sean sighed.
"So how are we going to defeat a ghost, save a ghost, and save a little pirate?"
"Dude. Those three have names too." Zed said, clearly irritated.
"Anyway, how are we ever going to do that?" Sean asked again.
"I have a plan. If I transform I can keep him away just like I got Hades back on the island." I said to Evie.
She nodded.
"And then we can help Skye and Harry." she added.
"Not bad." Sean said.
Zed rolled his eyes.
"That's a good plan. Come on."
Those three crept into the meteor and I followed them.
The meteor was big enough to transform into it, so yes.

After a while we had three courses.
"So Zed. You're known here. Which corridor?" Sean said mockingly.
"I don't recognize this... That's strange. Now there would be a door and - It's a trap!"
And the outer entrance closed again.
"Not again..." Zed muttered softly.
Sean looked around in surprise.
"Okay and now?"
"I use my magic mirror. Then I can ask which corridor we should choose." said Evie. I nodded and she did.
"Magic mirror, which corridor should we choose to get to Skye and Harry?"
Evie looked at her screen and was startled.
"So split up..."
"Why?" I asked.
"My mirror only shows what's at the end of each corridor. The middle one seems doomed..."
"Who's where?" Zed asked.
"Not important. Sean, you come with me. Mal, Zed, you go the other way." Evie said.

Zed pov:
"Okay... So now we come to Harry or Skye..." I muttered.
Mal was clearly concerned and we ran down the hall.
After a while, Mal pointed to some kind of tube.
"What is that?"
"I have no idea..."
We crept closer but after a few seconds I pushed Mal back.
Evertown walked by and we held our breath.
"Harry Hook won't be happy you failed Skye Hart."
"Why are you doing this?!" Skye's voice sounded.
"Ah, isn't that clear? Ghosts are only created by things like this. But now thanks to Harry Hook, everything will be easier."
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't I say you were late?"
"What have you done?!"
"Nothing special. I just don't think he's very happy."
"Then what have you done with him?!"
"Nothing yet. We'll wait a little longer. Because you'll be there. To see how you failed to save your pirate friend."
Mal wanted to scream and go but I put my hand over her mouth and stopped her.
"Calm down, he doesn't know we're here. We'll save Harry. I promise." I whispered.
"Anyway, Skye Hart. Now we'll have to go though. Otherwise it's no use to me." Evertown sounded again.
"Leave us alone! We never asked for this!"
"So you think everything that happened is a mistake?"
"Yes!"
And that hurt.
Mal saw it and put his hand on my shoulder.
"That's not what she meant... You know that too."
I nodded briefly and looked around the corner.
Why was Skye in an empty tube?

Skye pov:
I was taken to another room.
Harry was tied to a chair.
"Sean? Evie?" I muttered confused and very softly.
They were held by some of those slaves.
Harry looked up.
"Skye?!"
There was another slave standing next to him with... a razor? Why that?
"Skye!" Sean and Evie yelled too.
I wanted to get out of this glass tube. I mean, I'm a ghost.
But I banged full against the glass.
"What?" I muttered confused.
Evertown chuckled.
"Ghost proof glass. I'm really not retarded. Now you can see for yourself how you failed to save your friend."
"No!" I yelled angrily.
And I hit against the glass.
"I won't watch you bully my friends!"
My eyes turned purple again.
"Skye whatever you wanna do, do it now!" Harry said desperately.
The slave grabbed him by his hair and Harry swallowed.
I glowed and the glass exploded.
"I'm done with your shit Evertown! Leave my friends alone!"
Evertown chuckled.
"And how exactly do you want to help Harry Hook? You'll have to get past me first."
"With pleasure." I said angrily.
But Evertown nodded at the slave, and Harry seemed genuinely afraid.
"No!" Harry shouted, trying to duck again.
Me and Evertown were pushing each other and I was trying to help Harry.
"Evie, Sean! You need to do something!" I shouted loudly.

Evertown pov:
Skye Hart couldn't do anything.
I looked furiously at my slave. I just told out to him that he had to shave off Harry Hook's hair for us to use as DNA. But he hadn't done anything yet.
"Oh, I didn't think so!" Evie said pissed, kicking the slave holding her.
"Bad choice, princess." And the slave injected the poison into her arm.
It was so strong that she fell directly to the ground.
"Evie!" shouted Skye loudly.
Sean looked from Skye to Harry.
"Sean, do something!" Skye shouted again. Harry looked at him pleadingly.
Finally my slave caught the second furious look and grabbed Harry by the hair.
"Ni!" but it did not help.
The razor went over his head several times and he seemed to be having a mental breakdown.
I chuckled.
"Sean Matthews, you could have helped him."
Then suddenly two more came in.
"Zed Necrodopolis and Malificent Bertha, I thought I heard someone. As you can see, you're late."
I pushed Skye into another ghost proof glass tube.
"Harry?!" Mal yelled, startled and concerned.
I chuckled.
"Too late. Slaves! Take Sean, Mal and Zed to the other rooms."
Sean seemed to be picking up on something, but I could've imagined that.
I looked at Skye.
"How does that feel? It sucks doesn't it? You couldn't help him." and I pointed to Harry.
Mal and those two boys were taken away pretty easily.
I looked at Evie.
"And because you asked her to help, she's dead now."
"What?!" Harry and Skye shouted at the same time.
"Well, strong poison. Works always."
