Chapter 15: My Heart Is On Fire.

Read the message that's written for you at the end of the chapter please :3

We enter the house and I feel the agony entering me, my chest hurts and I feel my heart wanting to come out and rip itself in pieces, I'm still on Toby's arms, I didn't deny the favor he did to me by caring me to the house, I needed it, I can't feel my legs from all what just happened, I feel like if my legs were going to destroy themselves like gelatin if I tried to use them. Then I ask Toby no matter what to let me walk and he does as I try not to fall, then we walk to the stairs and we go upstairs, where Slender's lab is. We run there and we open the door without knocking, and we don't see Slenderman until he appears right in front of us and I can feel Troye beside me shivering with Casey in his arms, he holds her in a very protective way, even you could tell that she's sleeping and not dying, the way he holds her, with her head on his chest and he caring her legs carefully as he holds her neck so it doesn't go by the side, it's just very protective to me how he holds her.

-Jeff... stabbed her....N-Neck.. - I try saying but with every word my voice breaks as Troye leaves her carefully on the white bed

-Oh in that case she's dead- Slender says and I can feel the anger and the wrath replace the agony and grief as I make my hands into fists

-You're just going to say that? Can't you do something? - Toby tries to convince Slenderman

-If she was injured by a Creepypasta, she can't be healed then, she's human- Slender responds

-And I'm a damn Marked One, if I was healed when Jeff injured me to death, you can heal her- I put my hands on my hips

-You said it yourself, you were healed because you're not human, you know you are a Marked One- Slender turns to see Casey's body

-But... You can do something, you can change her to something or anything.. Just save her- Now Troye gets in the conversation

-Okay, Toby get out- Slender orders with commanding voice and Toby immediately obeys and leaves Troye, me, Casey and Slender alone

Slender passes his white, long hands through his white and bald crane and takes out a black book from the shelve as he passes the pages, and then he gives it to me and I feel Troye leaning on my shoulder as he gets closer to read the pages and I read what it says:

''The Marked Ones' Legacy is known for being half angel or half fallen angel as people will call them, the only thing in common they all have is the ability to committee sacrifice for someone they love for the other creature to live, but this will make them spend the rest of their days on the Crystal Oblivion where is better called as 'Penal Punishment' for the Marked One, depending on what they do or what rules they break, that's how much time the Marked One will spend in Crystal Oblivion''

-Okay, where's this going then? - I ask

-Are you stupid or what? - Slenderman 'facepalms' himself even though he doesn't have a face...

-A bit stupid, yes.. Talk to me in idiot language please- I smile proud

-Ugh basically, you can find this easy way to do it but it has a consequence- Slenderman explains better - you are immortal, you both are, doesn't mean that you can't be killed, it's just very difficult to get you two killed, you can attempt a suicide by giving your life, or part of your spirit to a person that has died not long ago, but it has this next consequence, you are going to spend the rest of your days or a part of your life, not too long, on the archangel prison: ''Crystal Oblivion''... Just imagine it like purgatory but for the living

-Ohhhhh.... Now I get it- I say exaggerating the ''oh''

-So, any of us two can give our lives for her or part of it? - Troye asks
