Cursed: A Teamcrafted Fan Fic: Book 2 to the Echo Series

King's Key

Sky's P.O.V
I can't stand being locked up anymore. But I can't move. I'm getting long waves of pain every move I make. I don't know why. We need to get out of here. I hear the door open. I move. Sharp pain shoots through me. I yell.

"What's wrong?" Ty asks. I say nothing. I grit my teeth and close my eyes. This is ridiculous.

"Sky talk to us. What just happen?" Jason asks. Pain. It's everywhere and it won't stop.

"P-Pain. U-Unbearable."

"What pain? We are not getting and pain." Ian asks. I open my eyes and look at them. O my god. Stupid yet smart Sathe. Seto comes running down the hall and stops.

"You!" Jerome yells. Seto looks at Jerome.

"What? I had no idea. I just found out." Seto said. Jerome looks mad.

"Yeah right you-"

"Jerome stop." Ian said.

"He would have known we were lock down here." Jerome said. They start arguing. We don't need this. Not right now. Sathe wants this to happen. He wants us to not trust each other.

"Enough!" I wince in pain from that. That hurt more then they think. They stop and look at me.

"Sorry." They said.

"What's wrong?" Seto asks.

"He's in unbearable pain. It must have been from that stuff Sathe put in Sky to keep him knocked out." Ty said. Seto grabs the jail bars.

"Sathe's smart. He wouldn't have let me figure it out so easily." Seto said. They all start talking. No he wouldn't let this be easy like it is. Ecspecially if Chaz is working with him. My eyes widen. I know what they did to me. They how you call it tagged me. They tagged me like cow. I leave and I die. But they won't. I can't ask them to leave me behind cause they will refuse. But there it no way to reverse what they did to me. I'm trapped here in this dungeon like a wild animal. I lean my head back and close my eyes. I hear more footsteps. I just listen to what they are talking about. But Chaz would kill me any chance he gets. Why hasn't he done it yet? To watch me destroy myself.

"I'm done." They all keep talking like they didn't hear me.

"We could try a spell." Jason said.

"Could work. But it would have to be a powerful one. Or what could assassinated him." Seto said.

"Assassination sounds fun." Jerome said.

"Whoa whoa wait a second. Wait a second. Sky what did you just say?" Ty asks. So he did hear me. They look at me.

"So y-you did hear me."

"I'm trying to act like I didn't." Ty said.

"What did he say?" Quentin asks.

"Sky said he's done. He gave up." Ty said.

"Sky you don't give up. Its not a option." Ian said.

"It is f-for me."

"Sky you better have a god damn good reason." Ian said. I can hear angry in his voice. That's it. Seto can't break these chains or unlock us. But we can. Angry. Sure it might not rip them out of the wall. But this is a weak type of metal. You should use steel for chains or iron not metal. Metal is easy to change. Maybe if I get them mad enough to kill me they'll break free. No Seto will just get us out. So say nothing else. Cause it's so painful to talk.

"Sky. Say something." Jerome said.

"He's in too much pain you guys." Ty said.

"I don't care. He is not giving up." Quentin said. Thanks to know you care Quentin. I look at Mitch. He hasn't said one word in a very long time. That's so unlike him. I say nothing. They keep yelling at me. I look at the ground. I hear footsteps. Those aren't normal footsteps. I look at Seto. Seto looks down the hall. Chaz shows up behind him.

"Seto behind y-you." Chaz grabs Seto.

Seto's P.O.V
Chaz grabs me. Sathe walks in front of me.

"I should have known."

"You really should of." Sathe said. He puts his hand on the side of my face. His eyes glow. I feel really weak all of a sudden. We teleport someplace else. Chaz lets o of me. Sathe pulls out something. I look at his hand. I fall on the ground. That jerk.

"The King's Key and now it's mine. Seto that's all I needed from you was this." Sathe said. I put my arms around my stomach and lay on my side. Pain. It feels like being tagged which I think Sky was.

"W-Why?" He kneels down next to me.

"To shut down the ancient power that lies." Sathe said. I look at him. He's crazy. I grab his collar and pull myself up.

"You shut that down. We all die including you."

"Sorcereress and sorcerers only. I don't cause I'm not a sorcerer. I'm a Dark sorcerer. While the good ones die and the evil is left behind. The brines will turn like Sky will. I tagged him. He's mine. He can't leave that dungeon unless I say so. While you will stay here and wait to die." Sathe said. No. He pushes me off of him. I fall on my side. He stands up and kicks me hard in the stomach. Again feels like a steel toe boot. I yell and wrap my arms around my stomach.

"The King's key is the key to the magic users demise. So mortal will take over. I'm a mortal and curse with magic Seto. I'm untouchable by that power under this mountain. Of course I don't know where to go. Only the Royal family knows how go reach the power." Sathe said. I smile. I know exactly where it is. But there is no way he is knowing. It's a family secret that will die with me. I'm never telling him or anybody. No matter how much he tortures me. Not talking.

"I'm not t-telling you." Sathe smiles.

"You already did Seto. No actually last you went down there I followed you and your dad." Sathe said. He's been planning this for years.

"Sathe don't disturb that power. You can't control it. It w-will kill you."

"What does it really do Seto?" Sathe asks. I close my eyes. Not telling. Ancient Family Secret. Sathe grabs me and slams me against the wall.

"What does it do Seto?!" Sathe yells.

"Not talking." Sathe throws me onto the ground.

"Even you don't talk. I'll find out for myself." Sathe said. They leave. No. They can't find out for themselves. I have to stop them. I try to get up but I just fall back onto the ground. Message. I have to get a message out. I put my hand flat on the ground. My eyes glow. Burst of pain shoot through me. Endure it. Endure it. A message shows up.

"Hey Seto." Ada types.

"Sathe is evil and has the King's Key. He's going to destroy the Ancient power in the mountain. My friends are in dungeons. Get them out. Sky's tagged by Sathe."

"That's a lot to take in. Where are you? Are you okay?" Ada types.

"I'm fine. Just go please."

"Okay. Talk to you later." Ada types. My eyes turn normal. I lay on the ground. Truth is if the King's Key is destroy, I'm dead. No one knows that. I should have been more careful with it. I'm such a idiot. Everything goes black.
