(Y/N) POV

"Get moving," Hazel says as he pushes me forward...this is an act of course.

After a lot of arguing. I manage to convince everyone to let me go in alone.

I know it won't help...but if I fail at least Neo can live for a little longer...maybe.

"Ok kid..." Hazel mutters as he shoves me forward blindly.

I have a blindfold over my eyes...so I can't see anything

My feet switched from walking on dirt to a floor.

"We are here," he mutters as I feel the coldness from outside start to fade away.

"I'm bringing you to Salem," He whispers.

A couple of minutes later, and a few left and right turns.

We reach a door.

"Enter!" I hear a woman say before Hazel even got the chance to knock or even ask if he could come in.

The door opened...and I felt it instantly.

The hate, the violence radiating of the figure ahead of me.

I didn't even need to read her mind to sense these things.

"Take that stupid blindfold off... I'd like to see the boy," she says as Hazel listens.

Light hits my eyes as I squint.

"Yes...yes," Salem says looking at me

So you're the mind reader

She smiles as my face pales

"I know a lot about you," she says walking up to me.

"You don't know me," I say as the fear grows in my heart.

"Yes, I do," she says as she stops right in front of me.

"I know you stand no chance," she says leaning in and placing her mouth near my near

"Your friends will be here shortly," she whispers as her voice slams its way into my mind.

The sound level of those simple words seemed to be the loudest thing I've ever heard.

"Hazel...I can't believe you betrayed me," Salem says looking at Hazel.

"What do you mean?" Hazel asks trying to clueless

"You've been working with them right? Don't think you can hide it from me," Salem says as Hazel starts to lightly sweat.

"I still don't know wha---," he didn't finish.

With no warning, his head is amputated as Salem stands there.

"You should never lie to my face," Salem says as the brute's body slumps to the ground...we stand no chance if she took Hazel down so easily.

"So...shall we begin the game," Salem asks as she steps toward me.

"What game?" I ask as she smiles

"Would you rather of course," she says

"What do you mean?" I ask as she laughs

"What would you rather...Your friends dying, or your girlfriend making her doom," Salem says as the creature shows me an image.

Everyone was surrounded by Grimm...everyone but Neo was there.

"Neo's not there," I said with a grin. I expected her to look confused and look at the image herself...

But she grins

That's because she is here," Salem grins pointing to the ceiling.

I followed her finger and my heart stopped

Neo looked down at me, petrified. A noose was strung around her neck and she was standing on a platform.

"(Y/N)! Save us!" My friends say from the image.

"(Y/N)," Neo says with pure fear in her voice.

How did she get here? How did the Grimm surround them so fast... it makes no sense.

"So...choose Mr (L/N)," Salem says.

I look at Neo and then at My friends

David holds Velvet as the Grimm circle around them. Her face is buried in his chest.

Indigo looks at the ground defeated as Mom and Kelly look right at me through the image.

I get chills as they nod to each other...

"(Y/N)...save Neo," they say as Neo screams

The platform shakes violently as she struggles to hang on.

"Please, (Y/N) help me!" She yells.

"I.." I begin as Salem looks at me with interest.

"I refuse!" I yell as I charge her.

Her face fills with surprise as I charge.

Neo drops from the platform and her neck snaps.

I continue my charge as I hope my hunch is right...this is an illusion.

Salem is trying to trick me!

The only reason why she would trick me....is because she is scared of me.

I lock eyes with her as she smiles

"How'd you know?" She asks

"Because of Neo...Neo is one of the most selfless people I have ever met...she would beg for me to save everyone else over her own life," I yell as I lock eyes with Salem and I start

"Ozma I'm so happy!"

"Salem!"

"Neo! Stop it!"

"Why not! Your so warm!"

"Salem...they look so cute,"

"I knew our children would look perfect,"

"Neo you have too many of the same plushies,"

"No, I don't, they all are unique!"

"Do you not love me anymore?"

"Salem, I..."

"We will love each other forever right?"

"Of course Neo,"

I fall flat on my face as memories flood into my head.

"Aaaahhhhhh!" Salem screams

Memories that aren't my own pound their way into my head...feelings that are not my mine follow suit.

"What's this?" Salem asks as I look up.

Dark tears drip down her face as she tries to catch them.

"Turns out you can feel," I smile as she looks me

"What do you mean! What did you do!" She yells as she struggles to stand...I'm in the same boat as her.

It seems like the memory transfer backfired on me.

It wasn't only my memories that transferred...but hers too

"Salem...I think you can understand what this world means to me...what it means for all of us," I say as I get up to my head and knees.

Salem, the once murderous Queen of the Grimm. Was crying as she looked at me.

"I have never really known love," she admits

"I realize something now," she continues.

"Love is...something that can't be broken," she says as her cold voice begins to crack.

"It is something that comes from everyone...and it should be at the expense of others" she continues

I found my eyes looking up at the ceiling...Neo wasn't there. Thank god

"Are you gonna end the world now?" I ask as Salem looks at me.

"How could I after learning the true value of something called Love,"
