Ty's POV

I'm almost out the door when I hear it, the most terrifying sound in all of existence - Sky.

Screaming.

I'm really truly not any type of wizard, but by the amount of time it took me to appear back in the potion room, I might as well have teleported. "I'm giving you three seconds to get your hands in the air-" I begin, planning to go total cop-style. I'll do it the professional way, okay? And then maybe my friends will respect me enough to listen to me.

"They're up, Ty," replies the bane of my existence, and I'm about to snap out some stupid remark, but then I see my best friend lying unconscious on the floor.

Unconscious?

Or dead?

My eyes fly open as wide as they've ever gone, and I choke on my words as I drop to my knees next to Sky. No, no, please, this can't be happening, this isn't happening, why didn't they believe me? Why, why, why is Sky not waking up? "W-Wake up, please," I beg, putting my hands on his shoulders and shaking him lightly. "Please, please, p-please, Sky!"

"It was easier than I thought it would be, in the end," Tyler informs me, shrugging casually as he walks nearer and waves the empty potion bottle in front of my face. "Potion of Instant Death. Pretty neat, if I do say so myself."

"I-I'll kill you," I threaten through the tears, not trusting myself to look even remotely intimidating if I look up at him. "I'll kill you."

"Sure you will," Tyler replies, nodding and rolling his eyes. "To be honest, I'm not all that concerned for my health. I mean, you said you wouldn't let me hurt Sky, and we see how well that went. You clearly don't have the power to follow through with anything you say."

"I- I-I-" I can't breathe, I can't breathe, my chest hurts, I'm shaking, I'm sobbing, I'm not okay. "S-Sky..."

"Well, that was fun while it lasted," Tyler says, walking towards the door. "Thanks for giving me a bit of a challenge there. You almost had me earlier.

"Later!"
