POV MARCO
"Class 4 witch." The teacher yells, echoing throughout the arena. "They have strong magic that is precise and deadly. This witch can shoot stun beams but in real life, they could kill you instantly."
"Doesn't sound to hard." Jade sharpens her knife. "I'll go first!"
"Jade take your spot." The teacher opens the door and Jade steps into the hockey-rink type arena. Some walls you can hide behind are standing and Jade gets ready.
"GO!" The teacher yells and Jade tucks-and-rolls behind a pillared. The witch circles around her, the robotic feet clank loudly. Jade runs and throws three knives. The witch explodes each of them with ease.
"She's dead." A boy mumbles.
"Nah she's my girl!" The other gloats. He was red hair, tones of freckles, a big build and black eyes. "She's got this."
"Adam..."
"She's my gf." Adam smiles, cheesy. "She's got this."
I watch as Jade runs right into the witch and smashes her against the glass.
There is something small on the back of if.
Is that.
No.
It can't be.
"JADE!" I shout and wave frantically.
"MARCO IM KINDA BUSY!" She yells as she kicks the witch in the robotic gut.
"You need to get out of there now!" I yell as I shoot to my feet.
"Marco what in the world I'm doing something!"
"JADE RUN!" I scream and run down the bleachers and hop over the tall glass frame and fall a few yards.
"MARCO?" She punches it head and beeping increases.
"JADE!" I grab her and pull her away right as the witch explodes, causing the glass to shatter and a fire to burst. Students yell and the alarms blare. I lie on top if Jade an shield her from the glass. I roll off and breathe heavily.
"Marco." Someone mutters.
"Yeah?" I breathe.
"Why would you plant a bomb!"
"WHAT!?" I scream as I stand up. People surround us as the sprinklers put out the fire.
"You planted that bomb, right?" One of them blames.
"NO!" I gasp, getting up.
"That was a bomb from Earth!" The teacher concludes. "Or else my magic detection instrument would have gone off!"
"What?"
"You planted a bomb on that witch!?" Star gasps.
"Why do you all think it was me!?" I question.
"It's an Earth bomb!"
"Yeah do you see another Earth-turn here?"
"So?" I was in utter shock.
"Marco Diaz!" Adam screams.
"Oh no!" I feel as he kicks my shin. I hiss and grab it. "Why did you try to hurt my girl!?"
"I saved her!" I stand up,
"You tried to kill her!"
"I did not!" I scream. "Why don't you believe me."
"Marco Diaz!" The teacher yells. "You are here by expelled."
"WHAT!?"
"You must leave the premises immediately!"
"NO!"
"Here." She tosses a pair of scissors to me. "Go home, ET."
"THIS ISN'T MY FAULT!"
"Go home!" Jason snaps as he picks up the unconscious Jade.
"I can't believe you Marco." Adam sighs. Murmurs spread around and my eye catches Star, who looks sadly as her shoes.
"No." I mumble as the teacher cuts a portal for me.
"Go home!" She point to my room through the portal.
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!!!" I scream as I'm pushed through into my room. I lie on my back and watch the portal close as a bow and a quiver of arrows flies through and I watch Star walk away.
"Red!" I shout as I slam my fist on the bow. "I'm coming to find you. This no doubt your fault!"

POV STAR [real Star]
"I'm back!" I call as I close the door to the hut, which looked a lot smaller from the outside.
"How was your meeting with Ponyhead?" He asks.
"Your visions never fail you." I respond with a tool of my eyes. I enter the kitchen and throw the carrots in the table and slam down the money next to it.
"You stole?" He asks as he sits down and flicks open the paper. I swipe the money and put it in my small bag.
"It was free-carrot-day." I mumbled.
"Haro always was a kid soul."
"Ok if you can tell what shop I went to and the fact I met with Ponyhead, how come you can't contact Marco?"
"I would if I could, but I can't so I shan't."
"Stop with the riddles!" I slam my fists into te table. "Tell me where Marco is."
"He's home, now."
"HOME!?" I scream. "Wait... Now?"
"Star do you blame yourself for what happened to Marco?"
"No it was all Red's fault."
"But Red was after you."
"Well I mean-"
"Marco would have never been played like that."
"I-"
"He never would have hurt his family."
"But-"
"Or you."
"I-"
"He never would have hurt his friends and changed his core beliefs because of you."
"Treetop-"
"Marco Diaz would be living a normal life in Echo Creek with his two parents and would have normal karate lessons and would never have to worry about monsters or you."
"I guess-"
"Star, you have to admit your faults to grow. Not only as a witch but as a person."
"No but this isn't my fault!"
"Star!"
"WHAT!?"
"Be truthful to yourself. You know this is all your fault."
"I..." I fall to the floor and began to cry. "This is all my fault. Marco is hurt and scared beyond belief because of me!"
"Now that that's over..." Treetop grabs the carrots. "You're spending another night outside."
All I can do is nod. I needed time to think anyways.
So I walk outside and sit against a huge tree.
And I cry.
"Oh Marco." I feel tears stream down my face. "I need to make things right. This shouldn't be your responsibility to fix my wrongs. I've got to do if myself."
I stand up and begin to walk.
"Star where are you going?" Jinx asks.
"To make thugs right." I mutter, my cape flowing in the strong wind.
"Huh?"
"I'm going to find Red and kill her before Marco has another chance to get hurt."
"Why?"
"Because this is all my fault."

POV RED (looking like Star if you've forgotten)
"Red," I hear Marco growl, "I'm coming to find you. This no doubt your fault!"
"Well." I laugh to myself. "You are sorta right. Now let's play a game of who can find the real Star first." I flick my hair an leave the arena and laugh evilly at the fire.
"Star?" Someone calls.
"COMING!" I respond an walk away quickly.
I still smile because I know this was all my fault.
