Ch. 18: Something Rotten This Way Comes -- I'm Angry - And Hurt

"First, you attack TrollMarket! Then, you have the audacity to be this annoying." I huffed tiredly, missing several hits Angor threw at me. Many trolls around me started to fight back, the huge Crystal Monsters slowly decreasing.

Angor chuckled as he tried to run towards Jim, Jim still trying to figure out how to add the last Triumbric Stone to our amulets.

This morning had seemed normal...but Angor, like always, messed up our evening with his attack -- leaving TrollMarket unprepared and me beyond irritated.

I quickly blocked Angor's path, swinging my hand down at his hand. I cut his wrist, leaving him backing away with a pain-filled growl.

"Destined Partner, stop. Rest. You'll be in use in only moments..." 

Jim looked my way with a horrified expression, finally clicking the Stone to his amulet, my amulet following shortly.

Jim's armor turned a dark red, with black accents...my armor had the same black accents, but, the main color was a deep blue, a navy mixed with black. Our armors glowed as we readied our swords.

"Your upgrade won't protect you from the inevitable." Angor's slow smile made me back up, Jim resting his hand on mine.

"We got this?" He looked down at me with a puppy dog expression, scared.

"O-of course." I swallowed down the lump in my throat and was about to start charging towards Angor when -- I couldn't breathe --

╔ ╗Jim's P.O.V ╚ ╝

I felt (Y/n) getting ready to run, but, in one slow-motion moment, she went still.

I looked over to her and dropped my sword with a small yell of fear.

"(Y/n)?!" I shook he shoulders, her dead stiff, her face becoming pale and swollen as her mouth let out small gasps for air.

"Stop it! Whatever you're doing, stop!" I grabbed my word and tried to swing at Angor but he did one quick side step and shrugged.

"Oh, Trollhunter. You now wish you would've told her how you truly felt, correct?" He cackled as I felt the color leaving my face.

"What are you doing to her!?" (Y/n) fell to the ground as her armor began glowing once more, but all white this time, blinding in an angelic way.

"Young Toby was right, she is the key. You gave me the key and I didn't even have to try." He laughed harshly, looking down at (Y/n)'s body.

I raced over to her, standing in front of her to make sure he didn't touch her but she moved, moved in an unnatural way.

She floated to where Killahead was being kept...her face now covered with markings that looked just like --

"(Y/n)!!!!" I sprinted after her and caught her arm, trying to stop her, but, her touch was like ice. She slowly laid on top of Killahead, the entire room now a blinding white and blue.

"Jim-" I heard her voice, it was so quiet, so weak.

But in seconds she was still again, her body seeming to attach to the bridge.

"She may or may not die, this has never been done before. She'll be the first to ever open Killahead..."

Angor's voice was muffled, me trying to climb to (Y/n) but a deafening buzz made me fly back.

The portal was open, (Y/n) now screaming in agony as she clung to the bridge, tears streaming down her beautiful face.

I trembled as I clawed at the ground, staring at the portal that was a whispy cloudy blue. I staggered slightly as I made my way to the opening, my breathing heavy and uneven.

"I'm going to save you..." My voice was shaky as I repressed tears, diving into the portal.

╔ ╗(Y/n)'s P.O.V ╚ ╝

It was like a block of ice slammed into my chest, me tumbling down the bridge with small sobs. I held myself as I looked around the destroyed area.

"Jim...?" I called out, trying to stand up but I fell back to the ground, Blinky and Toby racing to my side.

"Where's Jim?" They looked at me distraught.

"Where. Is. Jim?" I felt like my amulet had broken in half...

"In the Dark Lands..."

"W-why?! There's no reason-" But then I thought of what he must've been thinking, that to stop my pain he'd have to-

"He's going to try and kill Gunmar..."
