Star's P.O.V.

I widened my eyes and screamed in agony, rushing to Marco. I saw Marco, being killed by Toffee. Toffee's blade slashed Marco's chest, which made Marco stumble back and fall limp. I looked at him in terror, a lump forming in my throat. The hearts of my cheeks broke, turning into broken hearts.
"No, no, no, no, no.. M-Marco, y-you're going to be.. You're going to be okay," I shakily said, gripping my wand tightly. When I looked to find Toffee, he was nowhere to be found. Marco smiled softly, being able to take out a small chuckle despite the pain he was in.
"Stop lying." He murmured, tucking a stray piece of hair behind my ear. My eyes started to sting, tears already by the corners of my eyes. "You're.. You're going to be fine.. I'm sure my wand can heal you up, j-just you watch!" I exclaimed, searching my book of spells. After a few moments, it was too late. I couldn't find a spell in time. I didn't even turn my back around to look at him for his final words, the lump in my throat growing more and more unbearable. "Don't leave me behind.. Please.." I pleaded, bowing my head down. "I don't.. I don't want.. To let go." I breathed out deeply, sacrificing my pride just for him to stay.

"Our theme.." He mumbled, before closing his eyes, finally at rest.
My eyes stung so much I bet that not even a bunch of wasps could make the same pain.
"Our theme..." I whispered. I couldn't take it anymore. I turned my back to face him, crying aloud, the lump in my throat gone. I buried my head into his neck, sobbing, repeating his name over and over.

oooOooo

The memory played over and over again in my mind. It's been a month after Marco's death, and I've been blaming myself. The Diaz's keep telling me that it wasn't my fault, but my mind thought otherwise. I didn't understand. I couldn't understand. I can't understand. Why? Why do Mr. And Mrs. Diaz.. Why are they still.. So nice to me? I've gotten a lot more cold after Marco's death, becoming more hostile towards people. I swore that I would kill Toffee, if it would be the last thing I did. "Mrs. Diaz..? Mr. Diaz..? I'm.. I'm going out," I informed, the two nodding happily. "Be sure to be back before dinner!" They simply said. But I knew that their happiness was just a façade. I ran up to my room, grabbing my trusty dimensional scissors. I cut and cut, seeing a new dimension to check for signs of Toffee. This time, everything was white. I stepped in, taking in my surroundings.
"Oh, if it isn't Star Buttetfly. Quite nice of you to drop by my personal dimension." Out came the calm yet menacing voice of Toffee. I was beyond enraged. Not only did he kill Marco, but he just shows up one day, casually greeting me like nothing ever happened?! I grabbed my wand, clenching it 'till my knuckles went white. "DEATH BLAST!" I screamed, the ray of black and white almost hitting Toffee. Toffee jumped away just in time, gasping for breath. But I didn't stop. I repeatedly screamed death blast, almost hitting Toffee in multiple occasions, until finally cornering him, as I was pointing my wand at him. He looked terrified, no, petrified! That expression made my entire soul shiver, as I grinned maliciously. Suddenly, I didn't feel like myself anymore, I has no control over my body! All I could do was simply watch the scene foreplay. "Star, Star, Star! P-Please, l-let us t-talk about t-this in a c-c-c-civil manner!" He stuttered across his words, breathing heavily. The new me just laughed, her left eye glowing red. "Suuuree, like how you killed Marco, not even sparing him!?" My wand turned into a blade, the very same blade that killed Marco. The new me pointed the blade directly into the middle of Toffee's chest, ready to plunge the blade in at any second.
"P-P-Please, no! This is not.. T-This is not what your friend would've wanted, I-is it?" Toffee gulped, shutting his eyes. I felt myself coming back. I was finally in control! I dropped the knife, its sound clanking the purely white room. My eyes stung once more, as I laughed meekly. Twin waterfalls fell through my eyes, as I fell to my knees. By this time, Toffee had already feld. "Haha.. Pathetic.. I can't even avenge Marco," I said weakly, burying my face into my hands crying. A melody suddenly filled my ears, as if comforting me. I lifted my head up, wiping my eyes. "How stupid of me.. I really thought I could bring you back, huh..?" The melody sounded so familiar, yet I've never heard it, I couldn't help but sing.

"Deep, deep down.. I believed.. I, could bring, you back to me.." I admitted, smiling softly. The hearts of my cheeks slowly started mending. "In this game, I found fun.." I thought aloud, me and Marco's adventures together being a game. I thought about Marco's death, and the damage that was brought upon me and everyone else because of it. I regretted it.. So much.
"Can the damage be undone..?" I sighed, shaking my head. Of course not. I thought about how I lost myself for a moment earlier, wincing. "Even if I'm no longer really me.."

"There's still a part that lives inside my heart, that hopes to be.." Everything seemed a blur. I was crying again. "By your side until you reach the end, no matter what I am by then.." I laughed at myself poorly. I was such a stubborn mule, even without Marco. No matter what he did, I'd always be his friend.

"I'll always be your friend." I remembered what I said to him, not even facing him as I said it. "Don't leave me, behind.. Wont you let me win, this time?"

"I don't want to let go.." I stood up, grabbing my dimensional scissors. It was time to go home.
"But I'll be okay, alone.."
