Laurence's POV

*~*~*Flashback*~*~*

   I was guarding the portal, but it felt like it was watching me instead. I felt weird... as if my Shadow Knight was trying to persuade me to do something. I felt drawn to the Nether Portal, as if it were calling me and offering me my heart's desires. I ignored it, but refused to lower my guard. I stayed on high alert, counting down the minutes before I could change shifts and get away from the Portal. The portal quieted, and the Shadow Knight feeling stoped. I breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned against the cave wall. Relaxing slightly, I mentally congratulated myself for holding back, and not giving in when it was so easy to. I had given in before, and although it had felt good to kill all those werewolves in the moment, afterwards I felt horrible. I was a monster, and I hated myself. I had killed so many innocent people, but couldn't change anything about it. It was right for Aphmau to lose trust in me, but I felt as if I should be punished more. Opening my eyes, I realized a teenage boy stood in front of me. He was decked out in a red suit of armor that was way too familiar. Shadow Knight armor. I put my hand on my sword, but the kid fell to his knees begging me not to. I slowly moved my hand away from my sword and the Nether started asking again. It called me, and I tended just enough for the teen to notice.

   "You can feel it, can't you? The Nether. It's calling for you. You have to go," he said, still on his knees.

   "No. I won't go. I'm not one of you," I spat, but the boy didn't flinch.

   "When the Nether calls, you better come. Waiting will only make it worse. The Nether won't stop until you come, and if you aren't careful you might lose control and kill someone close to you, inexperienced and weak boy." The Shadow Knight inside of me seemed to agree with what he was saying, and the Portal seemed to notice that I was hesitating and started to call louder, going from a small whisper in my head to abnormal voice. I said nothing as he stared me down before walking back through the portal. I tried to finish my shift, but the feeling, the tug of my subconscious towards the Nether soon came unbearable. I leaned against the wall, mentally fighting myself. I felt myself beginning to give in to the voice and my Shadow side, and I slid to the ground. I started to lose consciousness, and my Shadow took over.

*~*~*Flashback Over*~*~*

   I watched from afar as Katelyn, Garroth, and Travis were brought into the Nether Fortress and locked up. Turning away, I wondered where (Y/N) was. Shrugging it off as the bad memories were too much for her, I headed to meet (Y/N)'a siblings after getting fitted for brand new Shadow Knight armor. I smirked as I passed by my old friends' cell and they gaped at me in horror. As I turned the corner I laughed, letting it echo off the walls behind me to haunt the prisoners' nightmares.

Yay a new chapter! Now you kind of know what Laurance went through, I hope. It was hard to find the right words, and I tried to tie in 'The Calling' from the final episode of Season 2. I tried, and hopefully you enjoyed. Have a great dawn/morning/noon/afternoon/evening/twilight/dusk/night!

P. S. I asked a guy to a dance and he hasn't responded yet. I'm scared that I messed up.
