Never a Dull Moment (A Haunted fanfiction)

Chapter 4: The Sting of Death

Graysons Pov:

I watch Fluffys eyes close and she drops silently to the floor. In an instant I snap out of my shock, and switch my sword to the fiery sword, a rage filling my head. In one swift motion, I stab Brine in the back. I was never on your side. I hiss into his ear as he grunts in pain and shock. The glow in his eye went dim as he fell motionless on to the floor, Hazel looked at me shocked as I took my pickaxe out. Freeing her out of the cage she was in. I glance behind me, catching a glimpse of some glowing particles that slowly disappeared.... And Fluffys body was gone. I shake my head. One thing at a time I shake my head, a feeling of loss in my stomach. But she she really had feelings for me I I shake my head and go towards the entrance, Hazel trailing behind me. We walk over to the edge, but I feel the power Brine gave me disappear. Should have seen that one coming, I mutter under my breath.

I look at Hazel for a second then look back, a glass bridge was appearing before my eyes. I watched, mystified as it led back to the area Fluffy and I had come from earlier. I look behind me again, Hazel also looked surprised at the bridge. I notice a sign being placed down and head over. Out of nowhere, words started to appear on the sign, causing me to jump back in shock. Be careful Was written on the sign. I look at Hazel, who was shocked as well. We better get going I stared at the sign again, unsure of who could have written it. Then it hit me and I gazed at it in shock and sadness. Fluffy... After getting out of the cave, we ended up leaving the red keep going to Armens house. Armen wasn't home it seemed, probably traveling with Drake somewhere.

Then seemingly out of nowhere, a sign popped up. It looked almost exactly like the one before. Then like before, words appeared on the sign. You ok? I sighed. I didnt know the answer to that, I just felt sad inside cause of what happened to Fluffy. I should have told her before about what I was going to do, maybe if I did then she would be okay. Im fine.. I didnt want anyone else to really worry about me, but in reality I wasnt fine. The words erase themselves and new ones appear. You dont look like it. I knew the sign was right but I just couldnt figure out the words to explain, and again I really didnt want anyone else worrying about me. You know this isnt my first rodeo. Ive respawned before. I look at the sign and sigh.

Fluffys Pov:

I looked at Grayson, my shimmering body invisible to all except me. I hated respawning. It still hurt like real death, but the worst part was the pain it caused others. I sigh and shake my head. I knew I was respawning, my body was doing the thing it always did. Glowing and shimmering with an ethereal light. But in the back of my mind I knew I was going to need to explain to Grayson why I had kissed him. I shake my head again, and thats when I noticed the ouija board on the ground. I hiss and growl. I didnt like those things and it gave off a vibe that I wanted to claw to pieces. I go back to the sign, Grayson, and Hazel having noticed the board as well. Please destroy that thing. Its giving me a bad vibe. I write on the sign and shudder. It had turned night, so Brine was probably up and going and probably really mad. I had made a cage, but I doubt that kept him considering I wasnt able to put any charms or stuff to prevent a teleport.

Grayson disassembles stuff and it was at that point I decided to respawn. The glow fades from my body and I shudder a little. It was always weird. Grayson turns around to look at me and I rush over to him, grabbing him in a hug. But the peace was not long and was broken by Hazels cry in pain. She kneeled on the ground, holding her arm where a cut was visible. I grab my sword, my eyes searching the room. Come out you coward! Show your face! I hear Grayson draw his sword, but the aura that came from it radiated a power that seemed to fill my senses. I scan the room, looking for any sign of movement. It was then a pain erupted in my back and I yell out in pain. Fluffy! Grayson races over to me. I knelt on one knee, trying to stop the blood loss from the stab wound.

C-Coward hiding huh?! Grayson shakes his head, his eyes showing fear and anger. Fluffy, we need to get out of here. He looks towards the doors and thats when we all finally noticed the iron doors that blocked us in. I stand up shakily. I could take a couple more hits after that I had no clue. I look around again, trying to detect any movement, but I couldnt. I growl, fed up with these games. Come out you coward and face me face to face! Another searing pain shot through my body and I collapse to the ground. Fluffy!! I groan in pain and I feel Grayson carry me off to the side and lean me against the wall. I open my eyes weakly and grit my teeth. I wasnt going to die again so soon.
