The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

Stop this!

POV Crystal 

I had locked the blond up in the same cell as Nina. she didn't say anything but that might have been because of the 2 zombies I had brought with me. I walked away with Elite and Maya staring at me as I walked out.

I went to my room and saw the mirror, my shirt was ripped, in serval places, my hair wasn't brown anymore, the blood from my many injuries have stained it, now a dark red instead, most of the wounds I've taken had healed, apart from the ones given to me by the controller in that last battle. 

the voice had been speaking, planning, something about it, it wasn't in my head, so what was it? I had an idea who could tell me, Zen the A.I, I could use it, after all, I still had to get revenge, on Meeps, Razer, and those others. 

I continued to stare into the mirror and felt anger filling up my body, my very soul. I felt the lightning gathering around my hand as I punched the mirror, went over to the wardrobe and started to get out a change of clothes, I slowly changed and cleaned the wounds. I opened a portal and summon Dexter and a handful of zombies ready to join me. 

I stared at  Dexter, 'why have you done this to me? What have you done to my mind?' 

That...that was Dexter's voice, was she talking to me? no, her mouth didn't move, was that my link to the undead? could I hear her thoughts? I shook my head and walked through the portal. 

the doors were closed, so I placed my hands on the door and closed my eyes. I let the power of the ender crystal flow throw me, purple energy gathering around me and BOOM. the door blew open. dust and rubble were thrown into the air. then it started to settle. I saw Meeps standing there.

She wasn't alone, Ember, Razer, Azura, Rain and Stella. "YOU!" I hissed, my lightning readying to kill her. 

I lunched my lightning as I heard a voice. "WAIT!" as my lightning travelled it hit something.

POV Patrick

the leadership of Frostbourne had gathered with the remaining defenders of the truth, less than 50 of them now, 54 wooden pills each one with a body covered by a white sheet. Lucas was standing they incomplete quite. Lyria was standing with Hilda. she looked sad, I think everything was catching up to her. she was leaning on Hilda. 

Daryll was standing next to me. he was oddly quiet, no ships no jokes, just standing there, I didn't blame him, I'm not sure why but he'd taken Crystal's betrayal to heart, Wolf was standing there, no armour, and for the first time since I'd met her no weapons.

Lucas was counting the dead and writing a book, after a minute he closed the book. "Today we lose more of our brother and sister, sending them on their journey to the next life, as is tradition," He held up a torch, it was unlit for only a moment as Wolf pulled out a lighter and went over to Lucas, lighting the touch, before nodding and going back to the others. 

he held the torch up, walking from one woodpile to another. "Go on, and wait for us in the next world," he said at each one until he reach a certain one, Elisabeth. I could see him hesitate, he loved her the same way I loved Azura, deep and true, the kind of love you only get once, and she had died saving Moon, I know Lucas didn't hold hate towards Moon, he know Elisabeth was doing what she knew was right, but the woman he loved was dead. "Wait for me my love in the next world, I will be there, one day we will be together one day," he said. 

Daryll nudged me. "What do we do if they can't fix Crystal?" he asked. 

I looked down and thought about the fight I had against her. "We put her down like the animal she is," I said. "You are not to tell any other of this, but Azura is working in a weapon to naturalise her power, then we can kill her," I answered.
