Chapter Ten

Dark's POV

Mark and I walked through the tunnels we had just past the first trap, but I had no idea how many more there were. Thinking that Mark wasn't going to attack me I put the gun in my pants. This was talking to long, I thought maybe if we teleported it would have been faster.

"You know this walk is going to take forever I'm going to teleport us to the crystal," I said.

"I wouldn't recommend it," says Mark causing me to glare at him.

"And why not?"

"Because if you use your powers you could cause the place to collapse," he responded.

"Alright know-it-all why don't you shut up and continue walking,"

"Gee I would but we're about to enter another trap,"

"Well then get to it," I said, "Find a way around it,"

"Fine," answers Mark "see that square?"

I looked over at it wondering what he was talking about. When I saw the square, I turned back to Mark waiting for him to explain the situation.

"If you fall in, your dead," he explained "At the bottom of that square are spikes that could penetrate you and kill you with one blow."

"Then it's a good thing that you are going first,"

Rolling his eyes, I followed Mark as he carefully went around the trap. After about thirty-eight minutes and passing all of the traps we finally arrived at a giant cavern. Looking across the cavern I saw what I had been looking for since I started this adventure. It was the dreamer's crystal. A beautiful crystal that was see-through and shining brightly from the lighting that entered the cavern. Standing by the podium was another human being; I couldn't tell because of the darkness surrounding him.

 "Lucifer? Is that you?"

 "Not quite," says the voice who sounded like Sam. Confusion swept across my face as I watched the human step forward. To my dismay it wasn't Lucifer after all it was Sam Golbach.

 "Finally!" says Mark, "What took you so long? And how did you get there so fast?!"

 "There was a secret passageway that led to this section,"

 "A secret passageway?" I said turning toward Mark. "We could have gone through a secret passageway!"

 "Hey, you're the one who forced me to lead you to the crystal!"

 "No matter!" I said fixing my suit "I can finally take it," says Dark as he pushes Mark aside and storms over to the crystal. Though Sam quickly grabbed the Crystal from the podium before I could even get my hands on it. I growled in anger; this kid was not going to give me any problems. Not while I have the upper hand.

"Kid," I said, "Give me that crystal,"

"No!" Mark said, "Give it to me!"

"Shut up!" I yelled toward Mark and turned back to Sam. "Look kid," I continued "I'm not going to hurt you," I finished "I promise, all you have to do is give me the crystal that's all you need to do,"

"Sam," repeats Mark "Do not give it to him, he could bring upon the end of the world!" he continued "He could hurt your friends and family with it!" This was going to get me nowhere; I know I can't use some superpowers; but manipulation isn't a super it's just a way with words.

"If you give it to me, I promise no harm would come to your friends and family,"

"Sam," says Mark "He's lying,"
