SPARKLEZ'S POV

I had seen everything. From the explosions to the evil wizard taking him as his own. The man we had seen blowing up the city was a wild beast and I was going to slay him. But then I thought about Ryan. Was he in there? Yes. The savage hybrid had taken my only reason to live away from me and I was going to end this. Moving quickly, my feet banged against the cobblestone as I sprinted past the hoards of injured people and towards the castle.

JEROME'S POV

Jason stopped right before the entrance to the castle, dropping me and Sky just before the figure of a statue. The statue was Mitch. No.
A passionate rage spread through my head and the ground seemed to rumble underneath me. Quickly, I ran towards the frozen figure of my friend and grabbed his face in my hands. Although his stone face was motionless, I put my finger on his lips to shush him.

I knew, even if he wanted to he could not escape me so in one split second our lips were touching, his stone face was cold. 

As we kissed I imagined I felt him moving against me. All I needed to do was picture it, picture it and it might almost be real...

The last bit of logic inside of me told me to stop, stop now. But I couldn't as all the warmth seeped out of my lips and into his stone body.

"Jerome! Look!" Said Sky behind me.

"What?" I pull away.

"Me, stupid." Said a now very alive Mitch.

His eyes glittered and I realised what I had just done. 


SETO'S POV

The sky was now turning a light pink and out of nowhere shooting stars were racing across the sunset sky. I stirred from my position in the middle of the ruined city and rushed back to the castle. The sight of it made my blood run cold.

"I would hate to interrupt you." A voice full of hate came from behind me. "But you have my one and only reason I live for and I am going to kill you."

I had had enough of idiots so I thrust my arm forward, nothing happened.

"Die!" I screamed

Surely I had some power left. I hadn't come this far to be killed by a stranger. I willed for my power to work

"That's the thing about potions." A voice said from out of nowhere. "They only last for so long."

"Mitch." I spat. 

Along with the strange new man was Sky, Jason, Jerome and the bleeding figure of Mitch, moving, no longer stone.
 
A strange emotion filled my head, helplessness. I backed away slowly but there was no need. My old friend had not moved but had closed eyes, trying to train the anger that radiated from him. It was like one of those documentaries where they show a time lapse but much much quicker. All of a sudden Mitch had appeared next to me, holding his glowing purple hands to my neck.

"I don't know how this works but I bet it's just point and shoot right?" He says through gritted teeth.

"If you make one move, I swear to god..." The strange man in glasses says.

"Ha! What can you do to me?" I try, commanding my limbs to crush him but nothing is working.
 
Mitch looked almost ready to scream

"I don't want to kill you Seto." 

"How do you know you can?" I scowl, the heat of his hands on my neck becoming almost unbearable.

"I know what I saw you do. This power, it doesn't just burn does it?"

I gulp.

"Does it?!"

"No."

"Tell me how to use it and I won't kill you."

"There is no 'how'-" I choke under the heat. "Anything you can think, it will do."

I see Sky's eyes widen in front of me. The rest of the group watch on in astonishment.

"Don't fucking lie."

"I'm not."
"Are you sure about that?" 

"Y-"

I am cut short by a large explosion behind me. I yelp forwards, Mitch's hands no longer round my neck but pointing at where the explosion had been.

"You weren't lying." He whispers, wide-eyed.

I back away, my hands raised.

"I'm going to think of something, Seto. You, back in your house, cured and non-homocidal. Okay?"

I open my mouth to reply.

"But-" 


JEROME'S POV

And with that, he was gone. 

"Did I do good?" He looked at me before accidentally tripping face first on the ground.

I laughed like I would never laugh again and hid my face in my palm.

"Ow." He said

"You are a dork." I say. "And we really need to go home."
