This is it guys.. the last chapter, maybe. I may or may not add another chapter. I could just leave it on a cliff-hanger and start on the second book.. or leave a happy ending. Opinions people!!

I have enjoyed every minute of it and hope you guys have reading Levi's story!

Our room....it was on fire....

Everything....was on fire.....

My eyes widened as I scrambled about. I lifted myself from the searing ground and ran. All I could do was run. I couldn't scream. I couldn't even manage anything but whimpers of desperation. Him....I had to find him. I ran downstairs just in time before burning debris fell behind me. I came to the living room and my eyes watered. So much fire....

"RAY!!!!" I screamed. I stepped forward and a blazing wall erected towards me. I yelped at the pain that shot through my arm as I shielded myself. I cried his name over and over again till suddenly, through the deafening crackling of everything withering away under the heat, I heard the sound of a piano. I felt myself smile as my stomach unknotted...but...something was off. The playing was sloppy. Mistakes were made and the tone was chilling. I slowly turned my head towards the room. A shard of ice slowly made its way into my heart. I bolted towards the room and flung the doors open. Inside was Ray...the room was untouched....but all he did was sit there, playing this ominous music. I stepped further and suddenly the doors slammed shut behind me. I whipped my head around and saw him. My father.

"No...." I said stepping away. He glanced over at Ray, who continued to mindlessly press the keys to produce the sickening music.

"Yes..." I heard my father say. He was dressed in a suit. His jacket was lint free. His shirt was pure white. His tie unwrinkled, his pants nice and pressed. His shoes were shined and his face....his face was clean for once. It was so unsettling seeing him this neat. This was not the man that terrorized me for years. This was someone more wicked than what I knew.

"What are you doing here..." I inquired grimly. He didn't say a word as he walked past me and over to Ray.

"You're so happy...aren't you..." he said softly. I stared him horror as he placed a hand on Ray's shoulder.

"Don't touch him!" I screeched. I wanted to lunge for him but my feet wouldn't move. The lump in my throat swelled and the uneasiness intensified. His hand trailed from Ray's shoulder to his neck, where his fingers crawled across it, feeling the vital arteries that contained his essence. With just a touch, I saw something that was horrifying. Dark, thin veins raised from where his father touched him, and quickly it spread all across Ray's skin. His flesh started to pale. Ray started giggling and the music he was playing was becoming more rapid and harsh. I could see the veins spreading up to Rays eyes, and in only a few seconds I could see that the whites of his eyes became black. There was no sound of anguish. There was no voice of protest coming from him. Just that insane giggling and the music.

So...so happy..." he murmured. In a flash his head snapped towards my direction.

"Let me change that!" He said, his voice dropping to an unnatural low and high at the same time. In an instant his eyes grew so wide that the skin around them split, and his smile strained as his lips stretched across his face to reveal rows of sharp teeth. He snapped his fingers and the room was on fire.

Fire...so much fire...

"NO!!!!" I yelled. I wanted to rip his head off. I wanted to run. I wanted to hold Ray, but...it was not him anymore. He was polluted, corrupted. The one that was once so pure to me was now infested with madness.
