It Lives No More

Monstrous Awakening

With the sudden gust of wind and light, Storm started to tear up, with the ghostly figure holding her in his grasp. The darkness smoke surrounding them as it turned into spikes, terrified Parker hesitated in looking but couldn't turn away. Wanting to save his friend however unable to as he was holding the unconscious Imogen in his arms.

Storm struggled, "Do it! Kill me if you want! But do it as yourself. Do it as yourself so I would know I would be looking at the eyes of my friend who I lost in the cave that day. Unlike the others... I won't be angry at you! The others can be furious with you but I'm not and never will be!" As if Noah was fighting to do it, pointing the smoke like spikes at Storm, ready to end it all, however couldn't, "You don't have to do this! I forgave you that day, the day that changed everything, please I know your in there!"
More shadowy spikes starts to show up, Parker started begging, "Don't do it! Storm no!"

"Things weren't the same the moment we met Mr. Red. When we lost Jane, losing contact and losing you, I know the friend is there, fighting the control the mayor has on you!"

In the darkness, Noah let out a scream, being in pain and crying, images of the memories with everyone, Issac saw what happened, understanding more about Storm and the others, how it all started.

"You can end this. Even though the pain you caused to free your sister, the pain from your friends, you can make things right. And it's being free and be at peace without any pain, it won't change anything but you have to try, fight it!"

"No!"

"You can do it! I'm not scared and don't let him win. Don't let them win this, Noah! You can do this and be finally free from the pain, the torment, free from being this shadowy figure. Your sister is waiting for you to be free from this like you set her free."

"I... I..."

"It'll be okay. You don't have to be afraid or in pain, be free, Noah. You can do it."
Suddenly a glowing light started appearing around him, Issac stepped back, watching him turning back to the shadowy figure to back being human, watching him disappear.

Issac immediately woke up with a gasp, being surprised by a hug from Zinnia, "What... What happened?!"

"We want to know too."

Looking up to the cliff, to the sight of Storm being let go, gasping as she lifted her head up, to the less shadowy figure of Noah, his eyes being in darkness, "S... Storm..."

"You can end me like this. As you. Or be free. I know you're in there and it's not too late, let go. It's okay. Be free." Her smile went away knowing it's not possible, his soul can never be free unless someone takes over. She took a deep breath, from that Parker instantly knew.

"Don't you dare! You can't take over his place, Storm! If you do, than you would be trapped and you will never be free! There has to be another way!"

"He has to be free from this! He's been like this since forever and he can't continue to be like this forever. He has to..."

Without warning, the shadowy figure moved Storm out of the way from the mayor swinging his dagger, cutting her cheek by the progress!

"Storm!"

"Ugh!"

"You think you going to get away from this?! Wrong! And you! There's no way your going anywhere! You're mine!"

"There's nothing you can do but to back up! It's over, Peter Merle!"

"I say it's over when it's over!" He ran towards Storm, Noah tried to shield her but the sight of the sun starting to rise stopped him, squealing from the pain and in anger, using the time to attack Storm. Peter Merle started swinging, Storm did everything to dodge as she can, unable to get up and help Storm, Parker stayed and tried to stop the bleeding from Imogen, helplessly watching Storm fighting for her life from this man.
