Possessed ☠

Chapter 11

~ The roses have wilted,
The violets are dead.
The demons run circles,
Round and Round in my head. ~

Mikey's POV

"Your friend is going to die either way. He can't be saved"

My whole world came crashing down as those words left Morris's mouth. It felt like I couldn't seem to breathe, as the fact that my best friend is going to die hit me like a truck full of bricks. Andy and I got along from the first day we met, happy to have a person with same sense of humour and same mentality. And then we became the best of friends, which often made Rye jealous because He had to share his childhood bestfriend with his boyfriend. I can't even remember how many times both of them bickered about it.

"Mikey is my best friend."

"No! He is my best friend."

They would shout while playfully pulling my arms from each side. And It was all banter, a friendly banter between us, which usually ended up in group hugs with five of us huddled together. Until Rye made one of his sassy comments like "five bros hugging cos we ain't gay" or "cringey bro hug". And at that time, I didn't even realize how lucky I am to have those four boys in my life, to have Andy in my life.

No.

I won't let these damn ghosts hurt me or my friends. I'll save my bestfriends no matter what.

"What If We destroy this pendant?" I asked absent mindedly.

"Your friend will die. But Aleksandur's ghost will be destroyed as well. That's what Annabeth is trying to do. She doesn't know about the pendant but She knows that If she killed Andy, Aleksandur will also be finished." Morris explained.

"And What If I destroy Annabeth's ghost?" I asked, thinking deeply.

"Then Aleksandur will take over Andy's body and return to the mortal world. There will be devastation all around." Morris said darkly.

"Well, I don't care what happens. I'm going to save my best friend at any cost."

"You can't save--"

"I CAN. And I Will. I don't care what your daughter and that fucking demon Aleksandur wants, I'm going to save my friends and no one can stop me. No one." I said firmly before turning around and leaving the room.

I inhaled sharply as I walked out into the dimly lit hall, leaning against the wall and taking deep breaths. I told Morris that I'd save my friends, but truth be told, I don't know what to do. If I save Andy, then all of us are going to die and If I save the others then Andy will die. It's such a difficult situation and I'm just so tired right now. I've to be strong for everyone, save Andy while also making sure to keep Jack and Brook safe.

I leaned my head back, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to escape from my eyes. Honestly, I don't know How Long will I be able to hold myself together. I feel so alone, so vulnerable. I closed my eyes as a few tears slipped out along with a strangled sob that escaped my lips.

'I wish you were here, Rye. I really wish you were here.'

Rye's POV

I jumped a little as the door shut loudly behind me. Well, I guess I found Annabeth then. I limped over towards one of the tables, inspecting the strange looking chemicals that were placed on it. It was clear that this place has been abandoned, but there are a lot of questions in my mind regarding this lab right now. And I can't seem to find answers to any of them.
