Chapter Eighteen:


Jason's POV:

A figure stepped into view. Dust floated around us, so I couldn't see clearly, but his hands were glowing. The floor glowed an orange color,  and started to churn. With a gasp, I flew up into the air, as the floor below me turned to lava.

 My eyes flared with anger. I was sick of all these bullsh*t choices.

"F**k. You." I snarled. I lunged forward and grabbed the figures wrists, pulling them towards me. This caused Ty and Seto to be flung across the room, where they hit the wall, before landing safely on solid ground. The only problem was this son of a b*tch. The figure, I still couldn't tell who it was, ripped on of their hands out of my grip. It glowed orange, and then the lava exploded to our left. I flew backward, nearly getting hit by the molten rock as it slammed back down into the lake of lava below us. I could feel the intense heat scorching my skin, even though I was wearing jeans and a long sleeve hoodie. The lava once again exploded upward, all though this time behind me. I shot forward, feeling the searing heat of the lava as it narrowly missed me.

I noticed something though. The figure also shied away from the lava, so it was clear they were not immune to fire. I suddenly had an idea. A crazy idea. And if I messed up, I would die. It's not like I matter very much to the group anyway if I did.

Jerome's POV:

Mitch and I followed Sky through the narrow hallways. Mitch still seemed slightly out of it, and he was falling behind. I stopped and turned around. I grabbed his hand, pulling him along. We rounded a corner, and stopped suddenly when we heard yells.

Sky and Seto had literally run into one another, and both were on their butts on the ground. Seto stood up, frowning. Sky also scrambled to his feet.

"Sorry!" They said in unison!"

"Are you both okay?" Ty asked. They both nodded. Seto glanced at Mitch.

"Is he okay?" He asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Mitch said.

Ty stared at our clasped hands.

"Uh-" I said, realising Mitch's hand. Both of our faces flushed with color, and we glanced away from one another.

An awkward silence filled the hall. Finally, Sky broke it.

"Wait, where's Jason?"
