Ellie's View:
Something within me just snapped, as if a sudden sense of desperation fired through me. I banged on the door...again and again and again.

* Ellie you're going to hurt yourself, come with me, we need to stop Dylan.
Victoria held my hand.

* I want to stay with Eliza, even though I can't hear her I know she's here...

* Okay, I'll try my best to be quick.

She teleported off and I resumed banging on the door. I had to open. Victoria has told me what Eliza told her and I was not losing Eliza.

* JUST OPEN ALREADY!

I spawned me scythe and threw it at the door. Nothing.

Eliza's View:
Ellie kept on banging harshly on the door. She sounded angry yet so desperate.

* OPEN, SERIOUSLY.

She refused to give up. Minutes passed. She seemed to have been getting tired...

* Just...open...

I heard her plummet into the snow. Had she fallen asleep?

Victoria's View:
I teleported back to the hospital. I had to make sure Dylan didn't know I could see him. I walked up to Eliza's body and began a magic scan. Dylan's spell had to of started around her lungs or heart.

There.

Dylan opened his eyes.
* What is she doing.

I continued, trying to find out what kind of spell it was.

"What are you doing." Grim asked, angrily. 

I stopped the spell and turned to face him.

* I'm trying to find out why Eliza isn't getting better...

"We already know why, now leave her alone."

* Grim you don't understand I'm trying to-

"Get out."

* Grim!

"I said Get. Out."

* Someone cast a spell in her to she wouldn't recover.

Dylan stood up.

"A spell? Only me, you, Celeste, and Ellie have been in to see her."

* It's not that simple, Grim.

Dylan walked up to Eliza's body. I had to do something quickly.

* You need to trust me.

I turned around and continued my spell. Eliza's vitals began to lower, Dylan was casting his spell too quickly. I blocked some of his spell. She began to shake and a loud beeping sound was heard. Grim grabbed me and dragged me back as the doctors rushed it to help her. Dylan continued his spell. I could only watch...

Ten minutes later.

The doctors left, saying they'd run some tests to see if they were missing anything.

"What did you do to her."

* I didn't do anything Grim, I was trying to save her!

I had to tell him.

* I can see ghosts, Eliza is currently stuck in the ruins of a broken timeline. Her brother - who is also a ghost - is strengthening a spell he put inside her, which is why she's not getting better.

Grim went silent.

* I need to find out what kind of spell it is so we can find an opposing spell.

"So...a ghost is doing this."

Dylan glared over at me, I looked back.

* You won't win.

* Wanna bet?

I teleported Grim and I to the ruins door. Ellie was laying down in the snow.

* She's in there.

Grim faced the door and place his hand on it.

Eliza's View:
I placed my hand on the door, there may have been an unbreakable door between us but I could still feel him...

Dylan teleported behind me.

* That's the closest you'll get to them. Once you're dead, we can go on a big adventure, I promise.

I didn't reply.

* You won't have to worry about them anymore.

I turned around.

* Even if I do, I will never follow you to wherever you go. I'll stay by their side till they die.

He walked up to me.

* You won't have a choice. I think ten days is too long for you, why don't we decrease it.

I looked straight into his daring eyes.

* Make the right choice, brother.

* I'll make the choice I believe is right; you spent spent you life making the wrong one.

He teleported off.

Dylan's View:
Her friends knew too much, so I made the phone call.

* Do it quickly, her friends have caught onto me.

'Sure, ok.'

[Player] was here within five minutes, holding a red knife. She was truly an ally. All I wanted was to have my sister by my side again. It made sense she wouldn't understand my intentions now but, soon enough she would. I could feel it.

* Do it.

'Where?' 

* Her heart.

She would be with me quicker if her heart injury was reopened. It would have a good chance of infection and then death. Eliza wouldn't feel any of it, I couldn't put her through that much pain.

'Sure.' Player disconnected some of the machines so the doctors wouldn't notice if her vitals went critically down. She was about to stab Eliza when someone grabbed her hand. We both looked at her.

Ellie.

* What are you doing?

'Nothing of importance. You should get some rest, you look-'

* Tired? I don't get tired.

Ellie held her hand firmer and pulled her away from Eliza's body. I cast a paralysing spell on Ellie.

* Wha-

'Thanks Dylan.'

Ellie watched as Player stabbed Eliza's heart, deep. Player's smile grew wider and wider. Ellie's eyes widened. Player took the knife out and teleported away. Ellie broke from the spell, running to Eliza's body. She yelled for help and doctors rushed in.

For someone who was emotionless, she seemed worried. They couldn't save her now. Nobody could.

Soon after, Victoria and Grim arrived and Ellie had disappeared. I wasn't done with her though. I teleported to her. She was sitting down on a sofa, looking ahead of her. There sat a picture of her and Eliza smiling. I stood in front of her and casted a spell so she could see me.

* Staring at a picture won't get her to wake up, and she never will.

* I-

* She will die, and neither you nor anybody else can change that.

She stood up and walked over to the door, gripping onto the door knob.

* No.
