17. I'm sorry

Mal pov:
I looked at Sean and Zed.
"So, what do we do now?"
"We have to get out of here! Evertown is clearly up to something with Harry and Skye!" Zed said angrily.
"It's no use anyway. We're stuck here. Those doors and everything are made of boulders. You can never get that aside." Sean said pessimistically.
"Not with that attitude, no!"
"Boys cut it out! We won't solve anything with your arguing!" I yelled.
I looked at Sean.
"Where was Eve?"
He sighed and took something out of his pocket.
"I'm sorry..." he muttered.
"Evie's diadem? How come you have it?"
Then it dawned on me and with a trembling hand I took the diadem.
"Tell me this is a joke..."
"She wanted to go help Harry but one of those slaves shot poison in her arm..."
I felt a tear slide down my cheek and Zed looked at me.
"Are you okay?"
"Evie... She was my best friend, of course I..."
"Mal, I promise we're going to save Harry."
"And Skye!" Sean said quickly.
"Yeah, duh-huh. I'm just trying to reassure Mal."
"Zombie to zombie. F*ck off!"
"Guys!" I said with tears in my eyes.
Zed looked at his Z-band.
"I have an idea... But you have to make sure Sean stays on the other side of the room."
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
"Something I've done before. Trust me."
"Not happening!" Sean said angrily.
"Sean, don't be such a toddler! Otherwise we can't help Harry and Skye!"
Zed was right and Sean knew it too.
"Fine..." Sean said eventually.

Zed pov:
"What are you going to do then?" Mal asked.
"I'll take off my Z-band and the zombie power will allow me to get that door open."
"No way!" Sean said immediately.
"Sean!" said Mal warningly.
Sean and Mal backed away and I took off my Z-band.
I felt my veins thicken and I put my hands on the block.
"Aargg..."
The boulder shot to the side. My Z-band was on the floor, Mal picked it up and put it on me. My veins returned to normal and I chuckled.
"It worked!"
"Yes, yes. Come on!"
Mal rushed past me and Sean.
"Mal, wait! They can't see us." I said softly after a few meters.
She stopped for a moment and soon we walked on again.

After a while we were back at that room.
"Shh... Evertown is still there." Sean whispered.
"Come on, we can go there." Mal said, pointing to a short hallway.

Skye pov:
Evertown looked at me.
"See that Skye? Evie died because you wanted her to help him." and he pointed to Harry.
"Well yes, two people who you disappointed."
I started to feel worse and worse and Harry sighed.
"At least Skye came." he said sternly.
Evertown turned in amazement.
"So you're saying it was helpful to you? That you won't look like a fool once you get back to the group? That you don't mind what happened?"
Harry was silent and I felt a ghost tear roll down my cheek.
"I get it. I failed! Do you really have to look like that!?"
"Skye, don't you get it? I told you only 2 people will survive, didn't I?"
Harry looked up.
"Wait what?!"
"Shut it, Hook! But Skye, I didn't say you'd be one of those two, and once there's three left, you'll have to choose who dies last."
"What?! So only one of the others will survive?" I muttered.
"Slaves. Untie Harry Hook. Those two aren't going to get out of here anyway."
Harry was released and Evertown left with his slave.
I felt another tear slide down my cheek. Harry walked over to that ghost-proof glass tube I was in.
"Skye, are you okay?"
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you..."
"That's not the point right now."
I looked at him in surprise.
"Not?"
"We have to get out of here. Then we can help Mal, Zed and Sean."
"But I can't get out of here. Ghost proof glass, remember?"
"Oh yeah..."
"Wait a minute." And I looked at him with a grin.
"Mal claimed you're pretty strong. Do you think you can break this glass?"
"Is that even a real question?"
"Just try! Then we can find a way out!"
"Yes, yes. Jeez."
And Harry (for being such a moron that he did it) smashed the glass with his fist.
"Huh... Apparently it wasn't as strong for people as expected..." he said surprised.
I flew out of the tube.
"Thanks Harry."
"No problem."
I chuckled briefly and he grinned.
"So, can you do your magic ghost thing now?"
"I'll try..."
But we heard a loud bang.
I was shocked and I looked at Harry.
"What are the chances it was one of the others?"
"Don't think about that. Do your ghost thing."
"Wait... Harry, what Evertown said... I hope you'll keep that to yourself. About the two survivors and stuff..."
"Okay, I won't say anything. I promise."

Evertown pov:
Suddenly I saw Sean Matthews running down the hall.
He get away that easily.
I followed him, changed to human form and pointed a gun at him.
"So you thought you'd escape?"
He turned and swallowed.
"You will understand that I must kill you now."
He turned and wanted to run away but I shot him. He fell to the ground and I chuckled.
"Slaves, wait a few days and then throw him out."
They dragged him away and left a trail of blood.
"Clean that up!" I yelled furiously.
I changed to ghost again and chuckled.
Tomorrow I would shoot Zed and Mal. At that thought, I began to grin.
Not enough people die.
"Slaves. You need to get some people here."
