Bring Him Back (Book 2 of Ssundee Battle Trilogy)

Chapter 27 - Ending it once and for all

We ran, as fast as our legs could carry us. We were approaching the light fast. But the darkness was quicker.

Me and Jordan ran, side by side. If we lost this race, we would both die. Sparklez' sacrifice would have been for nothing.

C'mon, we're almost there, we can do it!

I grabbed Jordan's hand and we both jumped into the light. Then instantly shrouded in darkness.

Did I make it?

My head started to bang, and I felt myself go insanely warm. I felt my blood rushing through my body and my cuts healing up.

I saw a faint light in my vision, it started to come closer, and closer. Until it overtook me.

My eyes jerked open and I took a huge intake of oxygen. Bringing the life, once lost, back to me again.

"Welcome back."

I jumped at the sudden noise and looked up to find Seto. Smiling down at me, relief on his face.

Somebody fainted beside me, I looked to find it was Sparklez. His breaths were hard, as if he was fighting for it.

He had sacrificed himself to save me. He was dying!

I sat up, ignoring the pain coursing through the whole of my body and watched as Jordan started to appear.

His eyes were closed as he became solid in front of me, and he fell to the floor. Unconscious.

I turned my attention to the body next to me, his breathing becoming slower a he was losing his battle for life.

He opened his eyes one last time, smiling when he saw me, alive. I spin to face him.

"Thank you so much." I said, letting him know how grateful I was for saving my life.

"My pleasure, I caused it, so I wanted to fix it. Even if it does cost me my life." He replied, trying to catch his breath.

I heard laughter, I turned my head towards the source of the laughter, to find it was coming from Seto.

I looked at him, putting a confused expression on my face. He smiled at me and stood up.

"You really think I was going to sit back and watch you die? You saved Ssundee, if there was a way to save you, I would take it, and that's what I'm doing."

Sparklez looked at him. "What do you mean."

Seto laughed again.

"I'm a sorcerer, I can heal you."

I face palmed myself. Of course, how could I have been so stupid! I looked at Sparklez and his grin was stretching from ear to ear.

Seto walked over to Sparklez and I moved away, not wanting to interrupt it. I walked over to Jordan and rested my hands on his chest. Smiling when I felt a heartbeat.

Seto put his hands up in the air, causing a purple aura to form on his hands.

With the magic on his hands, he lowered his hands down and rested them on Sparklez' body. Closing his eyes.

He started to murmur words that I couldn't understand. The aura pulsing from his hands grew brighter.

I watched in awe as the purple power imbedded itself into Sparklez, being absorbed by his body.

Sparklez closed his eyes, Seto held his wrist to check for a pulse. Smiling and sighing in relief when he felt it.

I turned my attention to Jordan, who had started to fidget. I shook him, to try to wake him up.

He opened his eyes, looking kinda out of it. He looked at me and smiled. He leaned up quickly, and held his head, groaning.

"Don't overdo yourself, you were stuck in someone else's head for a few weeks, you need to rest."

Jordan rolled his eyes. "Says the person who just woke me up."

I roll my eyes along with him and take him into a hug. Never wanting to let go.

"I've missed you." I said to him. "The real you."

We let go and Jordan stood up.

"I know, me too."

I laughed and hugged him again.

"Hey, lovebirds, I have a surprise for you." I heard Seto shout from behind us.

I frowned at him, and he laughed, leading me to a figure lying on the grass nearby.

Jordan gasps when he sees the figure, and I look closely and jump back, slamming into Seto.

Derp lay there, trapped in a web like structure, it was purple, so it was one of Seto's spells.

He couldn't move, so I edged closer. He smiled when he saw me, the evil look still there.

We meet again

I went into sassy mode, and started talking.

"I don't know why you're grinning, you are kinda trapped."

The smile disappeared instantly.

Don't get sassy with me

"You can't stop me." I say.

Seto comes up behind me and pulls out a sword from behind his back, it has a purple glow radiating from it.

"It's the sword of sorcerers. You can kill him with it. I could have killed him earlier but... since he pretty much ruined your life. I'll give you the honour."

I carefully took the sword from Seto's hands and examined it. The sword had words on it, but it was a different language so I didn't understand it.

I walked back over to where Derp was lying. His eyes widened when he saw the sword.

I saw a tear run down his face as stared at it. Knowing that this weapon will end his life.

"You shouldn't have told me that I could kill you here. Back then. Because now, you face the consequences." I said, anger lining my voice.

I held the sword above him, and bright it down onto his chest. Causing him to flinch and start to cough. Whimpering in pain.

I dug the sword deeper into him.

"This is for Mitch... and Jerome... and for everything that you did to us." I shouted at him, pushing the sword in.

I pulled the sword out of his body, his blood covering the end of the sword.

Derp started to breathe heavily, fighting to stay alive. His face had gone white and his eyes were struggling to stay open.

"Goodbye, you won't be missed." I said to him, Jordan stood by my side, staring as the life drained from him.

Then, he took his last breath, and disintegrated. The particles flying into the air, to be whisked away by the wind.

He wasn't going to limbo, like I did. He was dead.

The web that held him turned to dust, also being dragged away with the wind.

Jordan turned to me, hope in his eyes.

"Is that it? Is it over now? For good?"

I smiled at him.

"It's over."

A/N - 1000 READS OMG.

I literally jumped up and fist bumped the air when I saw it. My mum and dad are now convinced that I'm a freak.

Anyways. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT I AM SO GRATEFUL.

The story isn't over yet, you'll be glad to know, there are still some chapters to go.

I will be so sad when this story ends, I won't know what to do with my life. I have no idea what I could do for my next story.

Maybe a SparkAnt?

I will probably be updating Trust until I get an idea anyway.
