Chapter 10

The void and the over world can not meet. I might be stuck there forever.

"Duncan?"Repeatedly, I still cry out his name and hope that I can escape this hell without Duncan.

We'll get you out.

What? Really?

Do you wish for it?

Yes. I wish to be with Duncan.

Then we will grant your wish.

Thank you...

Before I realise the flux swirls around me, allowing me to fall into my soft abyss. I look at my singed hair, it's dirty and unhealthy. My shirt was torn and scars decorated my skin. And the blood. My cuticles are caked with blood. I am disgusting. Blood. Such a lovely thing. I am beginning to like the scent of blood. It's somewhat reassuring and I find enjoyment in the flecks of crimson. I hope that I'm not going insane. But, the thing is, I am.

***

Lewis and Sjin locked me away. In this sorry-excuse for a cell. There are iron bars holding me in, and I don't
know why they wasted their iron to keep me locked up. I feel a breeze, it makes me wrinkle my nose, it's not nice. I can't stop thinking about the times Kim and I could of had, in a new world. Where we could explore caves, go to beaches and adventure far and wide. I see a small tornado form in front of my bars and the winds turn... Purple? Flux?

She gave me a warm smile."Hello Duncan."

"Kim!"I shout, loud enough for everyone in this Notch-forsaken base we have here.

Kim has a cloak around her, and her flowers are wilted."I thought you died? Lewis told me-"

"Yeah, I did too. Lewis killed me, I guess you could say."She closed her eyes and unlocked my cell door.

As soon as I get out I hug her, and she stiffens, but then soon relaxes and hugs me back. She laughs quietly and grasps my attention."Lewis did... Things to me."I look at her with confusion."He..."She hesitated."Cut me a little..."

"Show me."I command, I don't know what to expect. She slowly takes off he cloak and I gasp, and had to try not to look away.

"These scars will haunt my dreams, haunt your dreams, and haunt Lewis' dreams."

Her body is covered in a series of long, thin, white lines. One large one trailing from her stomach to her foot. I could feel anger bubbling inside of me, like a volcano about to erupt.

I open my mouth to speak but I stopped at her flinching.

"What is it?"I question.

"This."She pulls something out of her pocket and I saw that it's a scalpel, caked with dried blood. Her blood.

"It's what Lewis used to cut me."She looks at herself sadly and I grab the scalpel and make my way up to the cobblestone generator room. Where Lewis was. That spaceman. He deserves to die.

"How'd you get out... And Kim?!"Lewis shouts with high alarm.

"You did this to Kim,"I roar."You will pay!"

In one swift movement I use the scalpel in my hand and plunge it right into Lewis' heart.

***

In his dying breaths he whispers in a hoarse voice, too quiet for Duncan to hear, but I can.'Lomadia.' He was in love with Lomadia? Why trace of hate that was in Duncan's eyes vanishes. He looks at his hands and screams.

"I am a monster!"He breaths quicken."I killed my best friend?!"

"Thank you, Duncan. It is not your fault. You did it for my sake, so thank you."

"I killed..."

"..."

"He will never come back, will he, Kim?!"

"No."I wince at my own harsh words.

"I'm a monster. A monster."

"No, Duncan, you're not. It was revenge, it's not your fault. Really."I sooth him as he lies with his legs curled. The body of Lewis seems to evaporate as the patch of blood is self-explanatory. Sjin and Minty walk into the room and see everything. They look so torn, who to go with when there is no good and no bad? They comfort Duncan a little then leave with worried expressions on their faces.

"It's okay, Duncan."I murmur as he mumbles a thanks.

"You should get some rest. A lot of things happened today."

He nods and sits up, looking straight into my eyes. I blush and he soon follows suit. We lean into each other and everything was perfect from then. His lips are warm against mine and his hands rest on my shoulders. I tilt my head up and we entangle our tongues, and I had a feeling like we would never let go. I put my arms around him and we finally stop, our faces as red as lava.

"Goodnight, Duncan."I smile.

"Goodnight, Kim."He grins back.

And we both fall asleep with the knowledge out relationship had deepened.

***

I rub my eyes and get up, something wasn't right. There was shouting outside the door. I run out as quickly as possible and see...

Lewis?!

"Hello, Kim,"He sneers as he hold Duncan by the throat.
