(WooHoo another chapter! And a day after the other! I didn't want to keep you waiting too long so I've wrote this chapter straight away. I really hope you like it. WARNING BAD LANGUAGE AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

Hannah's POV:

I lie in a ball wiping the tears from my eyes. There is no need for crying. I need to stay strong! Beging sad and depressed is not going to help me. If I want to survive and get a chance to go home I need to stay strong. I'm prepared for what this world throws at me. I will not be the weak, helpless person who stands by, watching her friends die. I will be strong! I will live! I will fight for survival! Nothing will stop me! Then there is a scream. A familiar scream. Lewis' Scream!

Before I know it I'm on my feet and sprinting in the darkness, shouting his name. My eyes adjust as I squint at the blackness. I frantically search for Lewis. I see two small lights in the distance and run towards them. I stumble over something and fall to the floor. A sound comes from beneath my body. A grunt. A clamber to my feet and see Lewis. I drop to my knees and hug him. "Hannah quickly, behind you." I wonder what he means and pain shoots up my back. I lift up my body and turn around to see my captor levitating, a strange purple glow resonating from his body. I can now see clearly and I dodge another blast at the last moment. Lewis pulls me to my feet and we begin to run towards camp. As we run we meet Duncan and Simon. "What's going on!? Duncan shouts.

"He's back! Keep Hannah safe!" I reply urgently.

"No!" I say, "I'm not standing by while you protect me. I don't want you to be hurt because of me."

I can see in his face that he does not want me to get hurt but he nods. "Fine." He says.

I run to the fire and pick up I thick stick from the pile next to the fire. It's relatively heavy in my hands but it swings nicely. God it's nice to wield some sort of weapon. I think of my diamond sword in me and Nilesy's witch hut. The guys run up to me. Lewis is wielding his knife and Simon and Duncan pick up a stick like mine. We stand back to back in a circle, looking into the inky night. "You never should have came here..." A voice whispers. "You ruined my life, now I will ruin yours. My power is strong and you are weak. You can not beat me. I am to powerful." Duncan lifts into the air, glowing purple. He gets flies through the air and hits the ground. He grunts in pain and gets to his feet slowly. Lewis is thrown to the floor. He materialises in front of me and I hit him square in the face. He falls to the floor and I swing my arms down. He vanishes and the stick thumps against the ground. I'm heat from behind and I fall to the floor. I turn around on my back and see him looming over me. He grunts in pain and vanishes. Simon is standing there, the stick in his hand. He reaches out his hand and I grab. He pulls me to my feet and I prepare to fight again. Duncan shouts as he is knocked back by a purple blast. Lewis slashes with his knife but he vanishes once more. This fight is not going to be easy! A great breezes hits us and puts out the fire. We are plunged into darkness.

Darkness surrounds us once more. The sun begins to rise above the trees. Finally, daylight. He appears again and Duncan thrusts the stick into his stomach. My captor stumbles and I take my chance and knock him in the head again. He grunts and falls to the floor. Duncan and Simon pin him down. I stand over him smiling. "You bastard!" I shout angrily in his face. "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!" I punch him in the face. "Let's see what's beneath that hood and mask. Shall we?" I reach down and pull down the hood and take off his mask. "RYTHIAN!?" I say shocked.

"Yes! Good for you!" Rythian spits in my face.

"But...why?" I ask confused.

"Zoey died because of Yoglabs! Duncan, you watched her die and did nothing to help her! Lewis, you own Yoglabs and you deserve to feel the pain I felt that day!! And everyone else who works at Yoglabs should suffer for being part of an evil company! A company controlled by a cruel man!! Did you also forget that I can teleport?"

He vanishes and an arm wraps around my neck. I see darkness for a second and then see Lewis running to me knife in hand. I shout his name. "Quite you piece of shit!" Rythian tells me.  I thought I wasn't going to be weak. But here I am helpless, captured and crying. I'm going to die. I can tell.

Lewis' POV:

Not again! I'm not losing her again! Once was enough and this time he won't hesitate to kill her. Am I any better than him? He wants revenge, I want revenge. I am just as bad as him. Hannah was right I'm trying to solve violence with violence. My feet pound against the floor. No I will not lose her! My knife is in my hand. Rythian stops. "Come get her Lewis!" He shouts at me. "Don't worry, I will!!" I shout back. He stands a few feet ahead of me. This is my chance. My chance to save Hannah and get Rythian. I can't kill him. He needs to open the portals. "Rythian give me Hannah and open the portals. Then we'll leave. Free Martyn and Kaeyi as well." I tell him.

"I would free Martyn and Kaeyi. I would open the portals. But I can't. I need to die or be killed for the effects reverse. And why should I give you Hannah?!"

"Because I love her and you don't need to do this!"

"Aww, how sweet!"

I'm at the end of my fuse. I'm sick of him. I charge forward and slash his arm. He drops Hannah and stumbles backward. He covers his open wound with his hand and blood seeps through his fingers. He looks at me and smiles "See you around." He says before vanishing. I run to Hannah and lift her into my arms. "Hannah! Are you OK?!" I ask.

"I'm fine."

"Hannah I'm so sorry for getting angry."

"I'm sorry as well. At least we have a reason to go after him now."

"Yes. We certainly do."

"I love you."

"I love you too"

We kiss.
