Y/n's POV

We all stand in the living rooKum.
We're discussing the final details of the plan.

Everything has to go perfect.
For Mei.
For the Doctor.
For Hannah.

For every child in the Crages.
For my mom.

"Earth to Y/n?"
I snap out of my thoughts as Seán waves his hand in front of my face.
"S-sorry. Got lost in my thoughts." I apologize.
"It's alright." He smiles.
"Anyways, those earrings of yours will let you talk to me more easily." Dark tells me.
"But we can already talk to each other through thoughts." I say, confused.
"Yeah, but we have want to use as little magic as possible down there."
I nod, understanding what he means.
"The f/c one is a microphone while the black one is what you'll hear my voice come through." He tells me.
"And how do I use them exactly?" I ask.
"Simple. All you have to do is touch the back of the f/c gem and begin talking." He says.
"Got it." I give Dark a thumbs up.
"Is everyone ready?" Anti asks.
We all nod to him.
Seán, Mark, and I huddle together as Dark and Anti stand around us.
Together they teleport us to the castle.

We all only slightly cough as Anti's smoke goes away.
Then we're met with the entrance to the castle.
Mark and Seán look around in awe of how massive the place is.
"Seems like you've brought the whole gang with you today Dark."
I turn my head to see King Lucifer walking towards us.
"Oh Y/n! How lovely it is to see you again."
Something behind his eyes glint as he says those words.
"Why everyone?" He asks Dark.
"Well, you had said that you wanted both Anti and I to come. There was just no way that I could keep my three Humans home alone." Dark replies.
"Well that's alright. They're always welcome to come." The King smirks at us.
"You two go to room B173 and the guards will tell you what I need from you." He tells Anti and Dark.
"I'll take the Human's to the Human room I just had built."
Dark and Anti take one last glance at us before teleporting away, leaving only black and green smoke behind them.
"This way Humans."
King Lucifer ushers us down various hallways until we come to a large red wooden door.
"There are tons of things in there for you guys to interact with." He tells us.
"Phil will be down in about five minutes to watch you. So don't do anything bad." He chuckles before also leaving in a cloud of red smoke.
We a look to one another and then to the door.
I'm the one who decides to open it.
I place my hand on the handle and slowly turn it.
Once I push open the door I see that the room is filled with toys and chairs.
"Oh?"
We are all shocked by the fact that this isnt a torture chamber.
We then walk inside and head over to one of the couches.
"At least we don't have to go hunting for Phil now." Mark says.
"Yeah, he's coming right to us." Jack agrees.
I just stay quiet.
"What wrong?" Jack asks.
"Something seems fishy about this whole thing." I say.
The door then suddenly opens to reveal Phil.
He seems shocked to see us.
He also looks a bit...sad?
"

What are you doing here Phil?" I ask, standing from the couch.
"I...I don't wanna talk about it Y/n." He says.
Phil begins to walk closer to us, but Mark stands up.
"Phil, what is going on?" He asks.
"Just shut it Mark. This will all be over soon."
Jack stands up and grabs my hand.
He lifts up his other hand and touches the back of the f/c gem.
"We're gonna gave to run." He whispers.
"What? We want him to take us though." I reply.
"Well that look in his eyes says more than just taking us to The Systems."
Mark nods.
"He has murder written all over his face."
I close my eyes and take in a deep breath.
"On three." I tell him.
Phil starts to walk towards us a bit faster.
"One."
He's left the door open.
"Two."
Jack grips my hand tighter.
"Three."
We then take off.
Seán drags me to the right while Mark runs to the left.
We sprint around him and out the open door.
"Fuck!" Phil shouts from behind us.
"I'm going to take the other Humans outside for a walk my King."
I hear Phil say.
We round the corner and head down for the front door.
We're almost at it when some guards step out of nowhere.
I manage to grab Mark's hand as Seán makes a sharp right turn down a different corridor.
"Is there another exit?" Mark asks as I let go of his hand.
"It's a castle Mark! There has to be one somewhere!" I say.
Mark runs up ahead of Seán and I to look for an exit.
I make the mistake of looking back.
"Oh Y/n~" Phil turns the corner behind us.
He looks insane.
"Come back to your best friend Phil."
He giggled to himself.
"I just want us to talk."
Not paying attention to where we're going, I almost trip over my own feet.
"Over there!"
Mark's voice makes me look forward once again.
Up ahead I see large sliding glass doors.
They seem to lead into a garden of sorts.
Jack continues to pull me faster than I can run.
I still manage to keep up somehow.
Mark sprints to the door and quickly slides it open.
"Come on!" He yells to us.
Jack and I push ourselves to go even faster than we thought was even possible.
We go past Mark, out the door, and into the garden.
Mark comes out after us, slamming the door shut behind him.
We stop for a moment to see that Phil is still coming at us with a sadistic smile on his face.
"We have to keep going." Jack says as he pulls on my hand.
I nod and we take off once more.
We don't make it far when I hear the glass door slide open.
"You guys are so silly!" Phil laughs.
"Peak-a-boo! I see you!"
My eyes widen as the end of the ground comes into view.
"Mark!" I shout.
He looks back and I point ahead.
His eyes follow my finger and he skids to a stop just before the edge.
On the other hand, Seán and I stop much sooner.
"Nowhere to run~ Nowhere to hide~" Phil sings.
We all turn our backs to the ledge and watch as Phil walks up to us slowly.
"Oh no, is that a dead end?" He asks.
"Well we can't have Y/n and Mark die." He says.
He's about twenty yards away from us.
I squeeze Jack's hand as we back up.
Before we know it, we're standing next to Mark with our heels at the edge.
I lift up my hand and touch the back of the f/c gem.
"Things aren't going according to plan." I whsiper.
"No shit." Mark says.
"Shut the fuck up Mark. Now's not the time." Seán growls.
"Eeny meeny miny moe~" He points at each of us slowly.
"One of you has got to go~"
He looks at me.
"Can't be Y/n~"
He looks to my left.
"Can't be Mark~" He sings and comes even closer to us.
Jack steps out in front of me.
Phil continues to walk even closer until he's right in front of Jack.
"Phil, you don't have t-"
He suddenly cuts himself off.
"Jack?" I squeeze his hand.
"Oh look. It's you."
Phil steps back and Jack falls to the ground, his hand slipping from mine.
"Jack!" I shout, dripping to my knees.
I can see the life draining from his ocean blue eyes.
"Where did he stab you Jack?! Where?!" I shout.
Mark walks over to Phil and punches him in the face.
"What did you do!" He yells in his face.
Phil hold up his left hand to reveal a ring.
It's silver with a large clear gem on it.
On the top is a small needle.
The tip of the needle is orange.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO YOU MONSTER?!" I scream.
I look back to Jack, who's skin is turning orange, and lift up his shirt.
For sure there is a small dot of blood on his chest where the needle went in.
"DARK! WE NEED YOU!" I shout while touching the back of the gem.
"Y.../n..." Jack murmers.
"Jack! Everything is going to be okay! I promise!" Tears pour from my eyes.
"Shhhhh..." His voice trails off.
I feel his finger underneath my chin.
He lift up my head so I'm looking him in the eyes.
"Don't.....don't cry."
He wipes away a tear and then caresses my cheek.
"I......love you." He tells me.
"I love you too Jack." I cry.
"No, I..love you...Y/n."
My eyes widen.
He slowly starts to close his eyes.
"Don't close your eyes! Help is on the way!"
Jack's hand falls from my fave and to his side.
"Bye.............Y...../n...."
His eyes close and I can no longer feel his heart beat.
His chest ceases to rise and that's when I know for sure that Jack is gone.
Tears pour from my eyes and fall into his chest.
"JACK!" I scream while shaking him.
"WAKE UP JACK! WAKE UP!" I sob.
When he still doesn't move, I lay my head in the puddle I've made on his chest and continue to cry.
Im crying so hard that it's hard to breath.
A sudden thud on the ground behind me gains my attention.
I lift up my head and look behind me to see Mark laying on the ground.
But before I can do anything, something hard hits me in the back of the head and everything is dark.
