Cooper sat there in the abyss of nothing as he only had two people there with him that he didn't want to talk to very much so he sat there counting and so far he was at 9680 as he only recently started counting since doing imaginary fights in his head got boring after a while. Crying also didn't do much for him either as he just laid there and cried as he didn't know if he'd ever wake up and see Linnie again or anyone for the matter, he was scared he'd forget them one day or at least how they looked. Biggest fear of all is him being forgotten while he's in his coma as people have to move on eventually and soon people will grow to busy to come visit him. Lin might even find a new boyfriend that is way better than he was as Lin's boyfriend so what will he do to not go crazy? He had nothing but memories to help him stay sane in this abyss like world and he had heard people can hear you in their coma, he envies those who could hear their loved ones while in a coma as he could o ly hear bits in pieces at first until there was nothing left but beeping there.

He asked either sides of magic to help with hearing so that he could hear and it worked but it seemed that no one visited often but Lin who came everyday, it was nice but where was his siblings? Did they really hate him so much for what he did that they don't even want to visit him anymore even when he's in a coma? He finally heard a new voice but it sounded way younger than Kat and was male so who was this mystery toddler child that visited Cooper a lot, the kid would tell him that he'll be okay and that Cooper was strong willed. It helped Cooper a bit so he eventually got desperate enough to talk to the two Magical beings and they weren't much company which just made the 'I'm in a coma' situation worse. Cooper sighed as he thought of what they all must think of him after what had went down earlier, he never felt more lonely than he did now even before this had happened it was never this lonely.

He laughed amd wondered if this is how prisoners who did murder and had no one that would visit so bow they laid there rotting away, Cooper understood where his family was coming from. Yet he still felt so angry about being locked up in this empty abyss where he shared only his thoughts and heard those of the demons that were his magic given to him by his parents. After doing some calculations it could have been at least a month since he was put in a coma and he had been saving up his magic for it to be nearly enough to kill him and he planned on using it. He was about to break his Sprite with his Father's magic, but his Dad's magic grabbed his shoulder and said

"Stop. What do you think you're doing?" Cooper froze at the deep raspy voice of the spirit that continued to speak to him.

"Let me guess... You thought if you broke your Sprite then your Sprite magic would be gone, right? But have you really thought it through, the true nature of magic is hard out sometimes even for bearers." Cooper broke down at that moment and couldn't help but fall to his knees.

Cooper's shaky voice while tears in his eyes poured like a waterfall

"I don't know. I just didn't want anymore accidents." Then he got a pat on head.

"It's okay. You will learn how to control it." This sentence shocked Cooper.

"Y...you are not mad? You won't leave me, right?" Cooper couldn't help but feel reassured.

"Of course not. I need you here and you still need to learn so much." This confused Cooper but he wasn't against the idea of learning.

"Learn?" He said confused.

"Well first of all magic is just one of your body's functions. There is nothing wrong with it. So don't try to get rid of it anymore." Cooper looked down at his hands confused about how what he did wasn't wrong.
