Jess in her head: Michael!!

He takes a deep breath

Michael: Forgive me Jess

Ariel gives him a weird look. He punches her so hard that Jess falls into his arms. Ariel slides across from them. Michael holds Jess close to him then yells in pain. Jess wakes up and starts catching her breath while grabbing her chest. Michael puts his hand on hers and grabs it tightly. She smiles big at him

Jess: Michael?

He looks at her still in pain

Michael: I'm sorry Jess

Jess: For what? You saved me

Ariel walks over, grabbing her chest as well

Ariel: I didn't mean punch me out, jeez

Michael looks at her

Michael: S-Sorry

Jess quickly sits up when she sees her

Michael: It's... It's okay Jess, she won't hurt you

Jess: Bullshit! She put me in that place. I almost died!

Ariel: Look I'm sorry I trapped you there but I wasn't in control of it so whatever happened to you was from your own mind

Michael continues to yell

Jess: Why hasn't it gone away?

He looks at her

Michael: Because I triggered it

Jess: What?

Michael: I knew the only way to get you out was by hurting her and when I did that...

He yells louder

Jess: Michael?!

Michael: Jess get back!

Ariel grabs Jess and pulls her back. She pulls away from her

Jess: Don't touch me!

Ariel: I'm saving you!

He starts vomiting blood but it's black

Times up

Jess and Ariel back away

Ariel: Don't let it touch you

He yells as his eyes turn black, his teeth get long and sharp, his skin and wings turn black, and horns start to come out of his head

She looks at her

Ariel: Because I care about you both. Now go!
