"N,No. Magica. Please!" Luis pleaded as Magica loomed over him. Della behind him wasn't remaining quiet anymore. She muffled frantically against her gag and shuffled towards Luis trying to shield him from Magica.

Magica, still in Della's form, cocked Luis's rifle.

"Sorry, Luis. I can't have two disobedient slaves now, can I?" Magica snickered. "Turn around." She ordered.

Magica was squeezing him from the inside, using her dark magic. Trying to pull him back. Back into the darkness. This time Luis feared he wasn't going to be able to help Louie, let alone ever be a part of him again...

Luis's body was forced to turn to face the crackling fire.

Della's eyes widen again and muffled something that Luis can bet was his name. Luis sighed, and untied the gag from her mouth.

"L,Louie, why is she calling you Luis? What's going on? Why does Magica look like me? How'd she even get in here?" Della began to ask, ignoring the earlier threat from Magica. She was looking at Luis, who was starting to feel sick to his stomach.

"Long story." Luis muttered, avoiding Della's confused stare.

"And it's about to end in three..." Magica snarled.

"Louie, can you hear me?" Luis asked in a panic.

Silence.

He didn't exspect him to answer. Why would he want to switch back now? On his own, and with him when Luis hadn't even done what Louie switched him for? Luis wondered if Louie was angry at him for that.

Or was it something else keeping Louie from answering?

He wanted to switch back. To be in that lonely spot, looking up at the hole instead of out here, about to get shot.

Was it selfish of him?

Yeah.

Did he care?

Maybe a little.

"Two..." Magica continued.

Luis's anger started to boil over. After everything he's done for her? She was literally going to shoot him in the back?

Them.

Lena...

All of them connected through Magica, out of hate for Scrooge they have never met Lena they can feel each other as if they had known each other all their lives. Like brother and sister's.

Luis wondered how Lena was able to over come Magica. Wondered how she was able to stay sane afterwards...

Asha had been right about Magica. She never really cared about him.

All Magica cared about was herself.

But he couldn't do that to Louie. He couldn't have Louie to deal with Magica on his own. If it was one person he cared about more then anyone it was him.

He was going to have to do this, himself. He was the only one who can.

Luis eyed a fire poker that was nestled on the other side of the fireplace. If he could only reach it in time...

He inched away from Della, who had gone quiet again, rather it was out of fear, or out of shock, Luis didn't know. He slowly gripped the handle to the poker and squeezed his eyes shut.

Luis heard the gun go off.

Luis waited for the blow,  but when none came he opened his eyes.

"Stupid, girl!" Magica snarled.
