Enter If You Dare.

11.

**Chrys's Pov.**

I walked into my bedroom after the talk with Luca.
I really didn't think he would take me seriously about the potion.
I mean it existed in Rolic but it was the fact.
Luca actually wanted it.

I pulled out my phone to call Rosie.
She was usually the voice of reason and I knew I was kind of an idiot when I opened my mouth about important stuff like potions.
~~~
{"No you're right, you were a major retard even mentioning that sort of thing to him."}
I stared blankly at my wall as I clutched the phone.
"Yeah.. but now he's actually wanting to take the potion." I told her.
{"Tell him no, Chrys there's no telling if his body can even handle a witches potion. Especially hers."} She hissed.
I made a face with knitted brows.
"That's a lot easier said than done Rose... I think something happened that he's not telling me, I mean.. he's been fine for eight months and suddenly he wants the potion?" I questioned her as I walked into the closet.
{"Do you think it has anything to do with Sly?"} She asked.
Biting my lip I frowned.
"No.. I asked him earlier if it was about Sly, and he said no. I'm going to take him tomorrow but wanted to see if you'll come with?" I asked her.
She was quiet on the other end for a moment before responding.
{"Fine, but you should ask the boys and Deja if they want to come with. This is a serious situation, and Luca may need his friends there with him. Rather than just you."} She said.
I nodded into the phone.
"Right.. I'll call Styx and Snake, you can call Deja. Loki isn't going to take off for something like this." I said with a forced smile.
{"True, okay we'll see you guys in the morning. Don't lose sleep over this, Chrissy."} She said before hanging up.
~~~~~
{"He wants the potion?"} Styx asked the sound of concern in his voice before I heard the younger trickster hissing something off the phone, it may have been aimed at Snake.
"Yeah.. and I can't tell him no-"
{"He got felt up today at work, Chris."} Snake's voice threw me off as my blood ran cold.
"He what..?" I asked.
Snake scoffed into the phone, {" of course he didn't say shit to you. What teenage boy wants to announce something like that?"} He asked me.
I frowned deeply into the phone.
"So.. what would taking the potion solve?" I asked feeling kind of out of the loop now.
{"Maybe the fact that it was that fucking creep Stan that did it? And that if Luca were to become human, Stan wouldn't want anything else to do with him."} Snake explained to me.
I was fixing to sound sick asking this but the amount of anger I was feeling, I couldn't contain it.
"Couldn't you just.. kill him?" I suggested.
{"Kill..?"} I could hear the playfulness in the others voice that sent chills sound my spine.
{"No ones killing anyone, Chrys we'll come with you. Just text us a time."} Styx told me.
Not even arguing I nodded into the phone.
"I will, night." I said before hanging up.
~~~~~~~~~~
**Luca's Pov.**

When I woke up, I felt nothing but anxiety trying to take over.
My mind was made.
I was going to become a human again.
I would go against him.. his creation.
But I couldn't do this anymore.
I couldn't be touched like this or felt used.
All because I was half.

I pulled out the phone Chrys got me yesterday before looking through the contacts I had.
Sly's name fell on the call list.
Frowning softly, he needed to know.

I lied in bed listening to the phone ring.
{"Hello..?"} Sly questioned he sounded like he just woke up.
"Oh.. um sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.." I murmured into the phone.
{"Luca?"} He sounded much more awake now.
"Yeah.." I said.
{"Oh no its fine, I needed to get up.. is something wrong? Its your first time calling me."} He pointed out as I blushed.
"Um.. yeah, we're going to Rolic.. there's this girl there with a special potion for half bloods.." I said.
{"Your going to take a potion that you know nothing about?"} He asked.
I frowned softly.
"Its going to turn me into a full human again.." I told him.
{"What..?"} He sounded hurt with confusion.
{"Why would you become full human? Whats wrong with you being half? You're a rarity Luca."} He told me.
Biting the side of my mouth, I frowned against the phone.
"Its complicated.. but its something I need to do, would you come with me and the others..? I sort of would like the support.." I confessed.
He was quiet.
I screwed up.
He doesn't like me anymore.
{"I'm on my way, see you soon."} He said hanging up without another word.

I went to leave my room to only run into Chrys who stood there with crossed arms.
"Sly's coming with?" She asked me sounding a bit disappointed I invited the other.
I rubbed the side of my neck with a frown.
"Um.. yeah if its okay with you.." I told her.
Chrys made a face then sighed.
"Fine, that's fine. The others are in the van waiting, is he at least on his way?" She asked.
I nodded feeling shy now.
She frowned nodding.
"Lets go kid, we have a car trip that's four hours, so lets get going." She said.
I nodded.
~~~~~~~
We ended up all fitting in one vehicle.
Chrys and Rosie were up front.
Snake, Styx and Deja were in the middle.
And me and Sly were in the back.
I was already tired and feeling more and more anxious just thinking about it.

My hand tightened around Sly's who's eyes fell onto me.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
I nodded with a soft smile.
"Just nervous.." I confessed.

Styx turned around in his seat.
"You should be, you're fixing to take a potion that's going to kill a lot of your immortal cells." He told me as my eyes widened.
"Styx! Turn your ass around, buckle up and stop scaring Luca before I reach back there and bitch slap you." Rosie hissed.
"But you're driving." Styx teased her.
Rosie arched a brow.
"That won't stop me so you better count your luck, we're fixing to be there anyway so just sit tight and shut up." She told him.
~~~~~~
The town itself was small, there were a few kids running around and some adults were cleaning.
It was very rustic here.

"By my very soul, is that you Chrys?" A guy with wavy blonde hair and ocean blue eyes asked walking up to us.
His blue shirt was half tucked into his black jeans, the side of his face had smeared oil on it.
Was he a mechanic?

"Danny!" Chrys grinned hugging the other.
"He's a human.." Sly told me as if he could feel my confusion.
Danny smirked at the demon.
"Looks like you brought a party, whats going on and why wasn't I invited?" He asked her.
Chrys grinned at him.
"We're here as supporters for our little friend, Luca. Is Jezelle here?" She asked the other.
Danny made a face.
"She's at her cabin, doing her thing.. what's going on that you need her?" He questioned.
Chrys frowned.

"Its complicated but you're more than welcome to come." She said.

Danny shook his head with a smirk.
"Can't, I have cars to look after. Looks like that van could need some looking after as well." He teased.

Rosie flipped him off.
"Not in your life time, Dan." She told him.
Danny grinned at her.
"Its an offer that'll always stay standing." He said.
~~~~~
"She lives in a cabin?" I asked Chrys as we walked down a trail.
Chrys nodded putting her hands behind her neck.
"Yup, witches aren't exactly welcomed to live on the streets with other supernatural beings.. they're still pretty dangerous and not trusted, but Jezelle is pretty nice once you get to know her." She told me.
I nodded not saying anything else.

When she made it to the cabin, part of me wanted to back out and just keep being harassed but the other part told me to get it over with.

Chrys knocked on the door that soon opened to reveal a pale girl who's skin was nearly white as paper.
Her black hair reached the back of her thighs and her black eyes could be mistaken as night.

"Christine..? Holy shit, what brings you to Rolic of all places?" She asked.
Chrys grinned before pointing to me.
"My friend, he wants that special potion of yours." She said.
Jezelle's eyes fell on me with a curious gaze then looked back to Chrys.
"He's a half blood." She stated.
Chrys nodded.
"He's wanting his full human half back, no more demon." She told her.

Jezelle looked around then to us.
"Come inside, lets get down to business." She said.
~~~~~
"So Lucas Everest, you're wanting to destroy the demon half of you? Do you feel spoiled knowing you have a rare thing about you that you want ripped out?" She asked me.
I frowned deeply.
"Its not something I can brag about, its brought me nothing but problems except for eight months ago.." My eyes fell on the others behind me.
"Being half is nothing but a curse for me.. I get harassed.. bullied and worse a-"
"What would becoming a human change? Would the bullying stop? Would you feel good knowing you're getting to actually die instead of stop aging like your friends have to?" She questioned.

I looked down at my lap.
"Its not fair on anyone.. I just feel like I'm meant to be a human.."
"Why can't you be a full demon?" She asked me.
I looked at her with a frown.
"I wouldn't prefer to be a demon.. new bloods are a lot of work.. and the last thing I'd want is to be a problem for anyone in this room." I murmured.

Jezelle chuckled softly looking to Chrys.

"He's an interesting one, I've had different beings come here but the pure honesty coming from his soul." She smiled at me.
"I'll give you the potion kid, consider me moved and convinced." She said walking over to a cabinet that had a lot of bottles.
~~~~~
"Are we going to remain friends after this..?" I asked the others.
Everyone held confused expressions, Styx actually looked hurt.

Chrys walked up to me before her hand connected to my cheek.
Tears pricked at my eyes as I looked at her shocked.
She glared at me.
"You dumb ass, of course we're going to remain friends. This is just a choice you're making, if we weren't your friends we wouldn't of came here. This is what you want, we came for support. Like hell I'm fixing to stop being your friend over something like this." She smirked playfully punching me.
I smiled before looking to Sly.
His expression was clouded and troubled.
"Sly..?" I questioned him.
He looked at me before cupping my cheek.
"We're going to be okay.. I won't go anywhere, I promise." He reassured me.
I smiled with a nod.
~~~~~
I held the bottle of light green liquid, my heart was pounding hard against my chest as I stared at it.
My eyes fell on everyone.

Chrys was encouraging me to drink as I took a deep breathe before downing the cold yet bitter liquid.
My eyes squeezed shut with distaste but managed to finish off every single drop.

Feeling something sharp shooting through my bottle I let out a painful cough dropping the bottle as it shattered.
"Luca?" Sly asked me with concern.
I covered my mouth shaking my head before running to the door, ripping it open to throw up whatever was trying to come out.
I felt hot and cold at the same time.

Jezelle frowned at this.
"The potion will take a full four days before you become a full human, you may need to rest a lot because your body will begin to fatigue and you'll be really sore losing cells as fast as they get destroyed." She explained to me.

Nodding I began to cough again, more aggressive this time.
I was wheezing and starting to feel light headed.
Covering my mouth, I coughed harder before the smell of blood filled the air.

I looked at my hands and shirt seeing a dark crimson color.
"Blood..?" I questioned feeling myself swaying.
My whole body gave in and all I felt was myself falling, and never stopping.
