"I have drunk it, who..." Before he could finish his statement, Axel, the thirsty boy, grasped the bottle from him to drink the potion, but the bottle dropped from his hand and it broke, with the potion vaporizing instantly.
"What?!" They all chorused in a bolt from the blue. They were all shocked.
"Axel? What have you done? Why did you break the bottle?" Maximiliano shrieked at Axel in anger, because he thought Axel broke the glass phial premeditatedly.
"Maximiliano, I didn't break the bottle, it dropped." Axel replied with an apologetic tone. "You know how thirsty I was, so how would I do that?"
"Maximiliano! You're the only one able to drink that potion, so anything that is going to happen will have to happen to you alone. I do not know how you are gonna brook this." Sebastian said and cuddled Maximiliano in his arms. A bead of tear dropped from his eye into Maximiliano's golden hair.
Suddenly, Maximiliano started feeling a sensation of fire in the inner part of his body, he started to sweat profusely, that it seemed he poured a pail of water on his body, his shirt and pants so wet to drain. His body was drenched with sweat. He was shivering eccentrically, his skin became red and he was feeling dizzy that he started to see objects blurrily. All of his friends were confused to see the sudden abnormal reaction of Maximiliano, they were not able to touch him because his temperature was very high, close to that of boiling point of water and he lost his consciousness, falling to the ground. He collapsed.
"Maximiliano!" They bawled, goggle-eyed.
"Maximiliano is dead?" Axel asked but no one responded. He couldn't comprehend what was happening, he was also very young but quite older that Maximiliano. They all stared at Maximiliano's body on the ground for a while, looking at the red skin and tears trickled slowly down from Sebastian's eyes.
"Ma-xi-mi..." He bursted into a very loud cry and sank down.
"Why are you crying Sebastian? Is Maximiliano dead?" Asked Axel again, more confused.
"I knew it! I knew the potion was not a consumable one, but the reason why I gave in to Maximiliano's decision was because most of you agreed with him." Thiago said, he didn't seem to be concerned. He was non-chalant as he spoke, though he had always hated Maximiliano and never gave in to his decisions for so many reasons. He knew Maximiliano was an intelligent type and he was jealous of that. He believed that Maximiliano was not supposed to be their friend because he was not part of them, he was not a Spanish but a Greek who lived with his grandfather in Spain. And Thiago also noticed that Maximiliano always uses his intelligence to dispute most of his ideas. But was that reason even genuine?
"How can you even give in to Maximiliano's decisions, when you saw a label drink me on it, you all should know that it was a trap, but now..." Before Thiago could finish his statement, Rodrigo cut in.
"You better care to shut up, Thiago. Why would you be saying such things in this situation? You are an inhumane and ruthless billy" He said with tears all over his cheek. He was weeping.
Sebastian mopped off the tears on his cheek and walked to the body on the floor to feel if Maximiliano was still breathing, but he found out that whenever he tried to touch him, he would end up touching the ground. It was so strange to him, he had never seen things like this before and he was about to go crazy with confusion. He then called out on his friends, he knew he wouldn't be able to handle that alone.
"Try touching Maximiliano guys, I feel there's something wrong or am I hallucinating?" He was shuddering, his lips trembling.
They all tried holding Maximiliano on every part of his body but they all ended up catching nothing but the air. None of them was able touch him, just like the yellow flowers they came across when they appeared in the island, they could only be seen but couldn't be touched. They were confused at this time, they found everything happening so mysterious for their brain to manipulate. They were all tired not knowing what to do.
