The Final Fight : the Haunted

Ch.29-Giving up

Grayson's POV

I couldn't believe what was happening. My heart stopped and time slowed down. Instincts took over as I stood up. Drake didn't seem to notice me at first until I ran behind him knocking the sword out of his hand and tackling him to the ground. He landed in his back and I landed on top of him. He kicked and squirmed trying to get out of my grip. I wasn't letting go of him. I wasn't going to lose another friend to the monster.

Mia's POV

I heard Armen saying something when j woke up. I looked around to still see that it was night. 'Why are they up if it's still dark?' I thought to myself. "Drake what are you doing!? Put the series down! Please don't do this!" Armens frantic screams caught my attention. I saw drawl wih the sword to his chest. "Drake? Don't do it! It's not the solution!" I pleaded as I was now next to Armen. Drake didn't say anything. I could see his grip on the sword tighten and tears role down his face. I could here someone moving behind him. Grayson had woken up. He looked terrified as he looked at us then to Drake. The next thing I knew he had gotten up running and tackling Drake to the ground. The sword flew out of his hands and I immediately picked it up. My hands were shaking and my heart and racing.

Drakes POV

I couldn't take it anymore. Everyone was still asleep, or so I thought. I had gotten no sleep and my mind was buzzing with a million things. I had enough. I don't want to hurt them or anyone else anymore. I was slowly going insane. I didn't even feel like myself anymore. I didnt feel human. I'm losing the fight anyways. What difference would it make there was probably no way to fix me and he rid of him with out someone getting hurt. Both of us had no mana at the moment. The last possession he did for some reason drained all of it. I was exhausted from it still. With what remaining strengths had I got up and picked up Grayson's sword. I started saying thins quietly to myself. "Sorry guy but I had to do this. I never ment for any of you to get hurt. Armen I'm sorry I let you down. Grayson and Mia im sorry too. Collin I'm for failing you. You made me to protect Armen and I've failed you. I'm sorry." I whispered to myself as I gripped the sword. It took a few tries for me to pick it up. The sword burnt my hands as I touched it because of the part of herobrine that's inside me. I tried to ignore the burning and held it to my chest as I heard Armen scream at me. Everything started slowing down for me. I heard screams form both Armen and Mia now until I went numb. I closed my eyes as I felt. Tears run down my face. I couldn't look at them. someone came from behind throwing me to the ground. I hit the ground on my back knocking the air out of me. I felt Grayson on top of me as I looked at him for a second. He looked terrified and somewhat furious. I groaned as pain shot up and down my spine. Trying to get away did nothing. He had some sort of death grip on me. I managed to gather enough mana and teleport behind him. I tied to run but he grabbed my foot and I tripped. All I heard was screaming from Grayson and Armen. Mia still standing wth the sword in her hands stunned and shaking. It's all my fault.

Grayson POV

He teleported behind me after he gave me some sort of look. I wasn't going to let him run. I grabbed his foot and he tripped. I got up still holding on to him and pinned him down.

"Drake! What the heck are you thinking!" I raised my voice. He didn't look at me. Tears were in bother of our eyes as we reached each other's gazes and held it for a moment. I could see the pain in his eyes. I put my head down as I couldn't be mad.

"Drake...please. What were you thinking? That's not the answer. Please." I lowered my voice to a more softer tone. I could feel him shaking. I pulled him into a hug.i didn't know what else to do. My heard was racing. He didn't look at anyone. Just the ground.

"I'm sorry..."  He mumbled. His voice was shaky. "I don't know. I just can't take it anymore. I feel like I'm slowly going insane. I don't feel like myself anymore. I don't feel human." He looked me straight in the eyes. I let go of him so he wasn't pinned against the tree.

"Look we are going to figure this out. You can't just give up. Please you need to keep fighting. We'll figure this out. We are coming close aren't we?" Mia stepped closer putting the sword down.

"I'm sorry..." Drake looked away again.

"Don't you think I tried the same thing about a million times thinking he would die also. Every time you try he stops you and it just cause more pain. " Armen looked at him and lifted up his shirt exposing his stomach. You could see several scares lining the sides of his torso and chest. He put his shirt back down and looked away.

"Oh god." Mia looked at Armen and then me. Most of the scars looked like burn marks.

Time skip

ARMENS POV

No one left Drake alone. He stopped talking again after a while. I noticed he looked exhausted like he was out of mana. He did eventually fall asleep so I'm guessing he is. I couldn't believe he was going to do it. I noticed his hands looked like they had been burnt. It was probably the sword. I k ow the pain he was going through. I tried to do what he was going to do but I didn't have the sword at the time. But he was too strong and would stop me and then tournament me. It usually emboldened me getting burned on my torso by him using his fire magic. Drake is going down hill fast. It seems to be easier for herobrine to control him now. Drake getting weaker and we don't have much time left. We had to act fast and soon.
