"RYAN!!"

The sound of Bryce screaming caught the older ghost off guard as he stood up from his spot on the roof. He looked below his feet before allowing himself to sink back into the room where he seen a woman on top of the young male. "Bryce!" He called out and watched as the woman turned her head towards him and gave a roar in response. "Kick her off you!"

"I-I can't! She's got me pinned!"

Ryan cursed under his breath as he raised up his hand causing the crystal that was wrapped around the blondes neck to glow. Suddenly, he was inside of the boys body which caused him to quickly react and knock the woman to the side with his free arm. She screamed in pain and fell off the bed causing him to quickly jump up and mount her on the floor, his fist above her. "Hahahahah!" She laughed and suddenly she turned to ashes causing him to look up and see the woman standing at the doorway with a demonic smile. "Look at you! Saving the day again. Aren't you the hero."

Ryan didn't say anything as he stood to his feet. "You can't have him Alicia. You know this." He stated flatly as he eyed the woman who just stared at him from where she stood. "Oh but I can. And I will. I made the mistake of taking too long to kill him today but trust me Ohm. I'll have that boys soul before it's over." Her words echoed in his head and she looked down at her skin that was beginning to fly away like dust. "Looks like your times up." He smirked as she looked up at him with a sour face, "For now."

Ryan pulled himself out of the boys body and watched as the blonde fell to his knees, his arms holding himself as he shivered in pure fear and pain. He knelt down to the blonde and have a frown, pulling the blonde into a hug. Smoke came from his ghostly body as the crystal began to glow brightly and suddenly he could feel the same pain the boy he was holding felt. It had been so long since he had felt any sort of emotion but this boy...

"Ryan..."Bryce whispered as he looked up to the ghost. "I don't want to keep this up anymore...I want to be okay again. I want to go back..back to my life before you came!"

The brown haired male looked up as he whispered softly to the boy in his arms, his hazel eyes staring up to the sky as if looking for answers. He got nothing though. As he held the boy he became attached to he realized that if he wanted to make this game end between them then he needed to do it fast before the one he tried so hard to protect dies.
